Northern Lights

City of Blinding Lights, originally uploaded by Tolkien Guy.

Yes, I have arrived. After long, ardurous hours last week, driving through barren wasteland stretching thousands of miles, we drove down a mountain pass, and tumbled into the midst of the vast city of Seattle. We experienced a light rain, which surprisingly has turned into a week of beautiful sunshine. I've now been in my new home for just over a week, learning the in's and out's, getting over the initial overwhelming wave of details and monotony.

The picture above is from Gas Works Park, about a mile or two from campus, taken about 11:30 Tuesday night with my new digital camera. If any of you, my readers, ever make it to Seattle, I will take you to the aforementioned park, in the middle of the night to see the most incredible panerama of a city skyline you've ever seen. I think Seattle must be the best kept secret in the United States. It's breathtakingly beautiful everywhere you go, has an endless array of coffeeshops and eateries, and has entertainment to match the greatest of cities on the east coast. I'm afraid I might never leave.

Anyway, I'm here, and new things are happening. Something's on the air. Stay ready for exciting news at any time!

Post Script: This picure frustratingly seems to want to obscure part of itself on the right side of the page, underneath the sidebar. So you'll just have to take my word for it that aliens have not finally stolen the Space Needle. It's still there, but apparently too shy to make a full appearance.
