It has been more than a year since people from Washington and several other western states have been able to obtain free copies of their credit reports. Over the past year, citizens of the rest of the nation have had the same access made available in a staged process. As a recent article in the Seattle times points out, the process hasn’t been perfect but according to the article things should be getting easier. I…

Comments closedDriving from Dehra Dun to Delhi we had loads of time to spend in the car. Aimee provided a bit of audio description of the scenery as we arrived in Delhi.
Comments closedOne thing that sticks in my mind from trips to London are the street musicians one hears as you walk through tube stations. The stations tend to have long halls with concrete or tile walls which makes for an acoustically rich environment. Add a little reverb in and anyone can sound good (just ask the recording industry). Here’s a sample of some tube tunes from our recent trip.

We left our Hotel in Dehra Dun at about 10A yesterday to head for the Jolly Grant airport outside of Dehradun. As Gomer Pyle used to say, “Surprise, surprise, surprise!” We no more than got out of our…
Comments closedTravel books often speak of the “road” to this or that destination as if the road itself is part of the journey. Most of my travel has been in the U.S. where there’s really not much difference, aside from where you end up, between I-5, I-15 or the many other highways one can take. What you experience along the way is largely the same erector set-experience no matter the road. You’ll find a motel, gas…
Comments closedGrafton street in Dublin is one of the main tourist destinations. On a chilly Sunday evening back in November we walked around a bit. Listen to the sounds of Dublin.
Comments closedOn 11/26 we were in Dublin. Here’s some audio from the day. Things start out with us walking around the outside of Trinity college. The two quiet sections are inside the college in a room with the Book of Kells and another large library room known as the Long Room that has hundreds of rare books. You then hear us walk through the college gates, part of a Dublin city tour and more stops on…
One CommentImagine me sitting down to write about food. I mean honestly I’d not win any awards of the diversity of food that I find interesting. Still the food here has been a tantalizing mixture of spices and flavors. We’ve eaten six dinners thus far and five of mine have been Indian cuisine. Admitedly, largely variations on chicken and rice with some naan bread tossed in for good measure. On Saturday night in Agra we dined…
