Just some photos taken over the years. This hasn't been updated in years. Scan quality is also old.
Scenery:
Boston was covered in snow in December 1993,

New Mexico was hot,
Arizona was hot,
cactuses grow in the desert,
you can't take a bad picture of the Grand Canyon,
the Capitol Records tower is neat looking,
I saw John Lennon's star,
it's pretty bare in the badlands,
Mount Rushmore is overrated,
the Vietnam memorial in DC is tasteful,
I moved to Arlington in 1994,
it's got a beautiful bike trail,
a quiet center,
and a pretty pond,
Niagara Falls is overrated,
the sun rises over a turnpike town,
and illuminates the snow covered landscape,
nice cabbage
