"Bury my heart on the Jersey Shore..."

Well, I've been down the shore and on my break for a few days. My flight home was almost unbearable, thank goodness it was shorter than anticipated. I'm already sunburned and I've run out of ways to lie on the beach where said sunburn won't get more exposure. Ah, well.

Transition week ended well. Everything was done and relatively on time. I feel like I earned my break.

I haven't been doing much. My typical vacation routine is to sleep in, get on the beach by noon and sit/lie around for about for hours, just reading. My evenings have been spent watching coverage of the DNC back in Denver. I was in Denver during the Pennsylvania Primary, and now I'm back to Philly while the DNC is in Denver. I can't really win.

I added a few links to the blog, things to provide more information on wildfires in the country, as well as a blog I found tonight from a guy who is on a California Hotshot crew.

I also found a really funny shirt which I just ordered from Threadless.com: "Don't Play with Matches".

Additionally, my dad showed me a really cool picture of a tanker plane that he found:

I don't have any information from the photo, but based soley on the way the ground just drops off and the bush in the left hand corner, I swear I was there. I'm probably full of crap, though =)
