Bison at the Berlin Zoo. . . with totem poles in background? And northwest-inspired tribal art? Um, okay. Germany’s historic adoration of North American tribes is a complicated topic that I’m not even gonna try to wade into. I’ll just say that I find it fascinating. I had hoped to visit one of the Karl May inspired theme parks, but unfortunately didn’t have time.

  • darling, my heart is spinning and it aint ever gonna stop
  • darling, if you wanna get lucky, pull my lever
  • darling, would you like to join me for coffee and a three-hour discussion on the semiotic implications of a cowboy with a slot machine built into his torso? I’d love to share my insights on such famous western archetypes as the man-with-no-name, the gambling gentleman in the saloon, and the transhuman robotic cowboy? If this sounds interesting, then you’re my kind of gal!

Tourists wait in line to take photos of themselves riding atop the charging bull of Wall Street. There’s also a line in the back of the bull where people take photos while sticking their finger in the bull’s butt.

Lousy photo of Monument Valley from the north, with crappy shadow cover and blurred monuments. Even while sitting in the middle of the highway, I couldn’t get a good photo.

BTW, this is not far from where Forrest Gump stopped running and said, “I’m pretty tired. Maybe I’ll go home now.”
