It's been all Northwest pix so far, but the next time we play www.angelofthewinds.com (Mon Sept 22 11am-3pm) our giant freakin' slide show video wall in-your-face photo exhibition will feature a few images from an old trip to Peru. This (35mm film!) pic of vicunas on the Altiplano won a few prizes.

The DC sandwich guy has been charged with assault for shouting at a CBP officer, throwing a sub into his chest, and then running off.
"I did it. I threw the sandwich," he said while he was being processed.
