Sumatera (photo-heavy) 33

I’m working from Penang these two weeks and took a chance to jump over to Indonesia over the weekend. One, Sumatera is great; two, I’m getting old; three, I really hope that this thing where people keep asking me when I sleep and I answer that I’ll sleep when I die is true.

    Great timing to get the elephant sneezing on you

    I have $5. No I don\'t.

      I am morbidly curious about the snot-to-water ratio in that spray.

        It was an elite snot above replacement performance

        she was jealous of not having come up with it as a career choice herself, if it wasn’t clear. and i was jealous that she was gawking at your photos, when i was as naked and uncombed as those monkeys, and i was sitting right next to her.

    Amazing and inspiring, as usual.

    I can’t believe you didn’t put an A’s cap on that elephant.

            Would have been cooler if I rotated it correctly.

              just tell people it was the east pole.

              I sure it was plenty cool. In fact, I bet that is why you did it quickly

              I have $5. No I don\'t.

    But seriously, folks...

      It’s no Kansas, but it had to do.

        Yeah, there tend to be a lot less elephants in Kansas and the ones that are there just go on and on about Ayn Rand and tax policy.

        But seriously, folks...

    That little village along the river is striking. The kind of place I might visit and never want to leave.

    • Bed Feb 16,2015 11:50 am || Up

      I had the same thought.

      But seriously, folks...
    • elcroata Feb 16,2015 3:43 pm || Up

      Of course, I had to get a room in the place where the whole village comes for live music

      Same. I’d pay you rent when you move there.

    I’m using the bridge pic as the new screen thingie (actual technical term) on my phone.

    But seriously, folks...

      …and before anyone asks…yes, Miss Hawaii did this little bit of black magic on my behalf. I have no earthly idea how to get a picture from the internet onto my phone.

      But seriously, folks...
