Palin, as we all know, did a pretty good job. Good enough to give McCain the lead in the national polls this week. 'Nuff said.

I've been meaning to post my August 26 ski trip to Mt. Buller. Expect that posting in the next day or two...

In the meantime, I'll toss up here my first video for my blog. I took this video clip this afternoon at Churchill National Park, 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) from where I live, in Black Rock. Now that I've been there, I'd have to say it's probably the closest park with wildlife that you can reliably see up close.
