Despite getting on the road late yesterday, I actually did everything I had in mind for my (shortened) weekend program. First, I went to Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park to hike through the dunes and shoot some photos. Here's one:
I had no further problems with the flight, even the security screening took half the time (no wonder, with the double amount of open screening stations...) But I'm still annoyed as I have to drop the one-day roadtrip to Monument Valley due to the delays...
I'm sitting here in an (moderately) overpriced hotel in Denver instead of the Novell condo in Provo. Didn't catch my connection, United at least booked me to the first flight tomorrow but refuses to pay for the room or even to help me to find one. They told me to complain to Lufthansa. Lufthansa apparently does not have any bureau at Denver, just ticketing, which closes at 5 PM. Anyway, I'm going to apply a high-quality LART to the travel agency -- they should know that 90 Minutes to switch flights isn't enough in Denver -- as the baggage crew is incredibly slow and the TSA thought that three counters are enough for approximately one thousand people (the number is not exaggerated.)
Dark beer Baron by Czech brewery Lobkowicz. Excellent stuff, on sale at Norma's (infrequently, though.)
One of the disadvantages of a digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR) over its analogue predecessor is the dust that accumulates on the sensor over time:
I bought a new bell for my bicycle -- the old one disintegrated Werner-style yesterday. The cap flew three meters with no chance to recover. The new bell is a genuine Mounty Special Billy bell, not a cheap copy like the previous one. Beware pedestrians, this one will make you jump!
What else happened on FC? I watched the Critterlympics (or, Fursuit Destruction Derby, as I like to call it), attended the fursuit head construction SIG, watched the masquerade, missed the Sub-Level 03 concert due to exhaustion, bought some more t-shirts, got two pictures by tanidareal from the art show, watched the fursuit parade, bought a book and two magnets, went to FNL, and finally drank a cocktail and a glass of wine at the bar with Tani, bigbluefox, Jaryic, lynard_, Kayjay and Kacy and her gang.
