tough security

this is the air national guard base at the minneapolis airport the day before the convention.... (pictures were taken labor day)there were a total of four f-16 fighter jets all fully loaded with air-to-air missles and ready to go at a moments notice. i guess they were scrambled a number of times because the no fly zone (a 30 mile radius of the excel center where the convention was happening, had been violated by morons in little propeller planes...

there were also these two helicopters that were dark blue on the bottom, white on the top, and had "united states of america" on the tail section. they are not the presidents helicopters because he uses a larger green sea-knight as his transport and those are usually escorted by blackhawks of the same color. im thinking this was just secret service transport or something.

anyways, bush decided not to show or else i would have a TON more pictures of the chaos at the airport.... maybe next president!

work again

i said id get some pics of my office from the inside so here ya go...first, this is the offiice itself... my desk is the one on the upper left of the first pic... the first pic is if you look to the left while walking in, the second pic is looking to the right as you walk in the door... also, there is nothing of value in any of these screens just in case any of my bosses or co-workers see these.

this is the view out the front in a halfassed panoramic shot:

and the view out the side window looking back to towards the lake out back:

some day ill get some nature shots from the lake...
