Picspam
Family Christmas photos and a couple of others. And a poll! To force you to look a tpictures of total strangers BECAUSE YOU ARE ALL POLL SLUTS.
No kittyspam because my camera still does not work BUT MY NEW CAMERA IS ON THE WAY TO ME so expect kittyspam before too long.
It's too late to do anything like cropping to the photos, so you'll have to deal with the fact that they could all be improved mightily.
Captions welcome.
If any family members show up to look at these (because my grandfather sent them the URL, most likely :D), I can spell just fine. I just can't type. And it's 1 AM and I'm not going back to check the typoes because it will just depress me.
1. Not a family photo yet. Obviously. This was taken earlier this fall, on a trip home from my grandparents' house. It's a pipe. I big pipe. Yes, it was that close to the traffic lights - the perspective is not doing that much to it.
2. Still not family. This is a common sight in Texas - oil well. This one has a cow. It could be pupming either oil or naturl gas - there's a color tag on it somewhere. Yellow means one thing, orange means the other, and I've forgotten which is which. (This particular pump wasn't actually pumping - you can tell how the Texas economy is going by how many of the pumps are pupming as you drive by them on the highway.)
3. Another one, because YOU DEMANDED IT.
4. OK, not *of* family, but *by* family. My mom took this picture at Thansgiving, at my aunt and uncle's place in Wimberly, Texas. Their house has a river view, and this is the river.
5. Cristmas! Finally! My mother! Modeling a scarf she wove herself. She gave me the other one she did, after a pointed hint about how badly my wool coat scratches the back of my neck and how lovely it would be to have a scarf to protect it.
6. Finally! The poll! This is my cousin Zach (his mom and dad are the ones who have the river house). He, his sister, and his mom are all serious redheads.
[Poll #641223]
7. The tackiest Kleenex box cover EVAR. I was mollified to ehar it was some sort of white elephant Christmas thing, because I'd hate tot hink someone I was related to thought it was tasteful.
8. My family is so well-adjusted we have singalongs. We're like a Stepford family, in a way. My uncle Bob, cousin Zach, and his dad, my uncle Rick.
The others will go up in two more posts, since this is getting long and unwieldy to download.
