Oh, I certainly will and this time I will have more time to spend downtown. I am doing an interview at the museum of natural history over Thanksgiving so I can hopefully score a job there for Christmas. Then I can be downtown everyday!!!!! It will be a nice change from the redneck town I go to school at now. Thanks for the compliment.

Photos from today...






Probably the only pic I'll ever get of the site from this vantage point, but I shot this from the rooftop of the Chase Building (Old Gulf) during this morning's tours.
