Radnor Lake Fun
Last week was perfect Nashville weather, the sun was out but it wasn't hot, there was a little rain but not enough to cause problems and just enough to create a cool breeze. That kind of weather inspires me to get outside in God's creation and just enjoy the beauty, so on several days I went down to Radnor Lake to go hiking. I really enjoy that place, I'm sorry that I didn't make use of it more in college but I'm making up for it now. On one day in particular, I came in contact with a lot of wildlife, it all started when just as I started hiking, as I was rocking out with my iPod I wasn't really paying attention to what was in front of me, then I almost stepped on this:

So, that freaked me out a bit. I don't know a thing about snakes so I don't know if this one is poisonous or dangerous at all, but I decided to avoid it nonetheless. Another couple miles down the trail and I came across several deer as they were just chilling out in the woods. One of them was eating just a few feet off the trail I was on. It was a pretty cool moment, I'm not sure I've ever been that close to a deer outside of a zoo before. As I approached it never left and I was able to take some fun pictures.

And lastly I took this picture of some turtles, I didn't know they like to get together like this, but I saw several different groups of them huddled on logs throughout the lake.

Google Maps starting to get a little creepy…
So today I was looking playing around with the "street view" feature in Google maps. I have to say, it's amazing how evolved this thing is getting. Not only can I find my apartment, but my car is parked out front. I remember the days when I flipped out over the fact I could find a picture of my house taken from some satellite a bazillion miles a way, but this, this is just insane.
I'll admit, I love the Google as much as the next guy, but I do start to wonder sometimes if there should be a point where we say that the endless availability of information should be limited. I don't guess I really have a problem with Google wanting to have somebody drive down my street taking pictures of what it looks like, but my question is, will it stop there? Exactly where should we draw a line that says what information should be available for everyone and what shouldn't?
Wait, snow? Where am I?
So I had to rethink where I was this morning. I was pretty sure that I flew back from Denver the other day, but when I stepped outside this morning, it felt more like Denver than Nashville. And it's snowing! and some of it is actually staying on the ground, who'd of thought? On the flip side, the roads are a predictable disaster, people here just completely freak out whenever anything frozen hits the road. I was amazed to find out that some of the schools have decided to remain open though, I guess you just never know. Here are some pics from my trip. I'll get the pics from San Diego up shortly...

Well, lots of new things to update! SHOUTfest 07 has officially come to an end. It was a great experience and I hope that I get to do it again next year. This video is a little tour of the SHOUTfest crew and bus...
Right now I'm in NC with Laura's family for the Thanksgiving weekend. I'll update a little more about what's been going on here later.
Great night…Great picture!
Tonight's show went really well. I"m pretty tired so I think I'll hit my bunk soon, but I wanted to post a great little picture I snapped this afternoon. Brad, one of the guitar players in The Afters fell over on stage during his set and I got a great shot of him on the floor. It cracked me up, so here ya go:
