100 and Done! (Countries that is...)

We are back! This last trip brought the total countries visited to 100! It is a crazy milestone. It is difficult, time-consuming and can be (IS) expensive. After I got back from Antarctica in 2007, I started thinking about it. After 2010 I was thinking about it more (as I moved from NY to Georgia) and in 2014 it had become a real goal. Between Angie and I we have been to 109 Countries. We are tied at 100 countries each. We have 9 countries different in our lists. For example, I have been to San Marino. She has not. She has been to Israel. I have not, yet. There has been some fun competition in this area. That's why we had to establish rules. 1.) Must be listed (as a country) with the US State Department 2.) Being in an airport doesn't count. You have to get through immigration somehow and not in a DMZ or a no-mans-land 3.) A passport stamp is not required. I have been to Canada, Paraguay, and Uruguay without getting my passport stamped. There are friendly borders in many places...

www.kauffmanbuildings.com The above is a menonite website for their business, I am buying a building from these folks for the llamas. I get a kick out of this... even the menonites are on the web... it is old. I realized I had no mention of Dave Ernst and Miracle racing on my blog of going to Canada. Dave and I work together and that was the main reason for going to Canada, was to watch them race and experience bitter cold. http://www.miracleracing.com

Psychologist helps victims of data loss / Some soothing words after the data wreck The above article (probably a 404 by the time you read it) is about a crisis counselor for victims of "data loss". Fun Stuff. I am working on a paper for a competition at school on the topic of "information ethics" I have two weeks to finish that. The paper is thought provoking if nothing else. Bonnie went to vistit our llamas yesterday. I have secured the domain name "www.llamafootnotes.com". There is nothing there yet. The photo is one of our llamas. She is currently named Fawn. I had to retouch the photo cause it was so light. Look at the eyelashes. She is very pretty in person. I am getting hay this weekend.
