Houston, TX

So I had to go to Houston, TX for a weekend for work. I was able to steal away for a few hours one morning to check out the herp scene in the 4th largest city in America. It turned out to be pretty cool, as far as herping goes, but man, Texas does not seem like a place I would ever want to live.

The first herp of the day was a common River Cooter.

I bought a vintage dual-sport

1989 Yamaha XT-350

Some random Chicago pics...

Yeah...I don't miss it so much. I spent a lot of time in elevators in those places.

The first day of the rest of Ryan's Life

A man stands in front of his future...contemplating...wondering...thinking...how did I get here? What does the future hold?

I never get sick of wine country...

Another year behind the cellar door!

This year in Amador County the weather was dodgy...but beautiful.

Another quick trip to Washington...and FAIL!

So we went up to Washington for another weekend of looking at houses, which once again, was a total bust. But we did get to see Astoria and Long Beach, WA.

Stay off the damn whales!
