I drove down to Bisbee to hang out with Scott. I like Bisbee, an old mining town scrunched up along several narrow, steep canyons. Part of the town was devoured by a deep mining pit. Perhaps a bit touristy, but it's cooler there and the place has an interesting feel about it.
So anyhow, I met Scott's friend Carolyn who is the singer in their band Electroglyph. She has an amazing voice (click on her link to hear her) and writes dense, beautiful lyrics. Scott's music is amazing too, he's really talented. He gets the Homer Seal of Approval.

The Bed & Breakfast was pretty dreadful, although the visiting woman from DC was thrilled by the froo-froo decor. She told us several times was beautiful it was. I had a hard time seeing anything because of the doilies, "cute" framed pictures, and fake flowers. The house was built in 1907 but was decorated in some alternate reality Victorian theme. The best thing about the breakfast was the jalapeno jelly. In any case, I was more interested in hanging out with Scott than anything else.
On the way out of Bisbee this morning I stopped at Evergreen Cemetery and walked around taking photos. I could smell the cedar trees there. Many of the tombstones were homemade, with many plots outlined in concrete slabs. An older Mexican man was mixing concrete nearby, and taking from his wheelbarrow and dumping it into a form he had made. He was very intent on what he was doing.
Mexican tombstone.
I got home and had an email from a medical show in England that wants to use a picture of a bruise on my butt that I posted on my blog for a medical segment. I checked Google Images, and sure enough, it comes up on the first page. I've never had a picture of my naked butt on the telly before.
