Some random pictures found on my phone

I use Dropbox and have it upload all my phone pictures automatically to all my computers. I forget to look at them sometimes and below are some random pictures from my phone so the quality is less than the photo studio level that you are used to seeing.

What seems to be a useful sign

Magnificent medical month of May is over

Beginning on May 8 and ending on June 9 the Medical May is over.

With the delivery today of Sicong and Mary to the airport the month is over. Medical May  was almost extended because of visa coverage, Canada, and dumb rules countries have implemented over the last decade making it so Sicong could not fly back through Canada which required changing up destinations and flight times. But they are both in the air (according to flight aware at 30000 feet) and heading to Hong Kong on different flights and then for Sicong on to Bejing.
During the month many many miles were put on the car.

6205.1 miles to be exact.Consisting of
NY City
7 trips to Muncie (I think)
4 trips to O’hare
Bunch of trips to the grocery.
During the Month Randy got her MD degree and learned the secret AMA handshake. Sicong had her holey lungs repaired. Mary had her ‘welcome to middle age’ colonoscopy (Available on BLU-RAY fall 2012). Randi went to Istanbul to buy ottomans, Mary went to Poland and Italy for a week and I had to buy a new lawn mower because the 20 year old mower died.
Mary has to have minor surgery next month so she will be back and I wont be going to China this summer. She will head back to China probably early August about the time Sicong returns for year 2 at the big Ball U. Mackenzie and Trevor did a week trip to NY City and Indiana and Michael might have left his apartment once or twice.
What a month.

Arizona residents visit Michigan and experience water falling from sky.

Two Arizona residents visited and experienced rain for the first time.

During most of their overnight stay it was raining. While Mackenzie had some vague recollections of rain Trevor found it quite interesting. Apparently it had never rained in Arizona (well maybe once in 1998 but it could also have been vulture pee).
They were passing through after spending Memorial day weekend in NY staying in Dr. Huo’s apartment while she is in Istanbul buying ottomans. They left here to head to West Lafayette to sleep on Michael’s uncomfortable futon and attend a wedding of Mackenzie’s old roommate.
Just before leaving we took the, as required by law, departing picture.

The happy couple has now returned to the dry desert wasteland.

A Picture Album Post

One of the reasons I started this was to put some of the pictures from our world travels (and if they hurry up, space) our where they can be enjoyed for hours by all. This is the first of those.

Last winter for the Chinese New Year we went to Lijang and Dali in Southwester China. (see the cool map below) This is an area much like Colorado and New Mexico except Dali is built on this huge fresh water lake sitting in the middle of desert mountains. Over on the right there is a photo gallery named Lijang that has picture from there. When you click it opens another window and you’ve see these below. If there is an i in the upper right hand corner that means there are comments associated with that picture. So for your consumption and I assume hours of pleasure   LIJIANG
