tinnitus

Tinnitus (IPA pronunciation: [tɪ'naɪtəs] or ['tɪnɪtəs],^[1] from the Latin word for "ringing"^[2]) is the perception of sound in the human ear in the absence of corresponding external sound(s).

Tinnitus can be perceived in one or both ears or in the head. It is usually described as a ringing noise, but in some patients it takes the form of a high pitched whining, buzzing, hissing, humming, or whistling sound, or as ticking, clicking, roaring, "crickets" or "locusts", tunes, songs, or beeping.^[3] It has also been described as a "whooshing" sound, as of wind or waves.

fountain

an empty pedestrian mall this morning. i like it this way. there's no drunk jackasses yelling aloud, no sorority girls shouting into cell phones, nobody puking.....almost perfect.

here's a (perhaps) slightly more robust, unbespectacled, quasi-angry, Vegas version of me lifted from the nether reaches of the web. thanks to Kirk Burge for the link.

spring flowers, part 6

so i'm thinking this is probably the final installation in the spring flowers "series". these are heady times, my friends. since summer is nearly upon us, i felt the need to purge my camera of these images. i hope somebody enjoys them.








all of these were taken outside AC's place, near Burlington and Summit.

bikes and beers

you know, there are few things that i enjoy more than stopping by the local brewery on the ride home and imbibing a mug or two of their fine brew. couple that with soaking up some rays out in the beer garden with friends and you have yourself the makings of a truly enjoyable Thursday afternoon.
