One of the funniest parts of running this site is checking the search logs. For those who weren't aware, whenever someone does a web search and follows those results to a site, those keywords are logged in that site's... uh, logs. Of course there's plenty of expected...
Doh! I had two more pics that I inteneded to post yesterday that got lost in the shuffle. The first one is just a little shop on the side of one of the many hills in the city I hiked up. Just thought it looked cool with the stairs and stuff, nothin' too special. This...
