This is a really neat picture that illustrates the interconnectedness of the Bible. You'll need to click on the image to be able to read the caption:

South Dakota musings

O.k., so I don't blog a lot, and when I do, I say very little about my personal life. Maybe I'll end up being frighteningly like my wife (whose blog is like a huge public diary), but I collected some musings from our latest vacation to South Dakota to be with my parents for 13 days. The pictures I took were actually taken at a zoo where my sister lives in Watertown, S.D.

Here's my baby brother Patrick the Penguin (O.k. cheesy).

This was a sign that made a lot of sense, given that it was in a zoo.

This one made much less sense, however.

In front of the jaguar enclosure, the zoo was taking every precaution that the animals were not bothered. The South Dakotans sure have a descriptive language. I've never even heard some of these words. It makes me wonder if there is anything else that someone might do to the jaguars? Hmm ... Nah.
