I saw this VW Bug parked at Mr.Bones BBQ in Bradenton, Florida. The vanity plate is just so wonderfully subversive. Apparently Florida allows you to get special “choose life” plates. I thought this incongruous with the car and other stickers until I read the plate itself. Perfect.

On the way back from buying more Tequila (never a good start to a sentence when the law is involved) I was stopped by one of Santa Fe’s finest. He wanted to see both my license and Dave Bacon’s, who wasn’t even driving. But the officer was very nice and let us be on our way when he determined we didn’t have any outstanding warrants and weren’t (yet) drunk. Thanks to us, the QIP2009 after party was saved!

Here’s hoping everyone has a great new year!  And hey, if you’re this woman, say “hello” in the comments!  Exclamation points for everyone!

I finally got my new camera. It’s a Panasonic TZ5. I ordered it with some trepidation from buydig.com but it came in less than twenty four hours. No tax, free shipping. Can’t beat that!
