Happy Holidays!
May your celebrations be peaceful and safe.
Here's an image from back in 2003. I was living in Japan, and visited Yokosuka
during the holiday season. For a non-Christian nation they sure do like their

Eiffel Tower instead of a tree!

options.
However, their service left me feeling nothing but blue. Even signing up was a

great as I was led to believe. Here's a breakdown of my experience:
They made me scan and email a copy of my driver's license and credit card to
them to verify my account
4 hours later they hadn't confirmed the account, so I initiated online chat.
The rep took about an hour to "help". Most of this was spent waiting for him to

My Animal Photos
Here's a selection of my animal photos on Flickr. Not all my best work, but I'll post the links slowly over time. You can always go explore my Photostream to see the vast amount of stuff I haven't posted here yet.
