I suppose I'm not much of a traveler.  Maybe it's the old age kicking in.    Well actually I'm not much for taking photos.  How many times I go fishing and bring a camera just to not even snap a photo. 

One time I tried to take a picture of them wild horses out there in the Painted Canyon but, when I got the photo developed...I don't see no horses, just lots of blurred meh.  And don't even want to talk about the mountain goats..
