Superman make it rain

Wouldn't that be wonderful, Superman flying through the sky dropping $20's on the city? Or is that more of a Batman thing?

And as a special bonus, not only is Harz adept at playing Superman, he can also play the guy Superman beat up.

Sahara Shelter

I took a class over the weekend to learn how to build an oven out of cob. While my hands were covered with mud, I couldn't help but think of my time in the Sahara and this shelter sitting in the middle of nowhere. This little structure provided storage for the Berber's and safety if caught in a sandstorm.

Another South Dakota Landscape

It's easy to get discouraged. My friend Mike and I were driving west towards Badlands National Park. We still had 3 hours to go when we drove under a very ominous looking cloud. Sure enough, we hit the blizzard everyone had told us was coming. We couldn't picture our trip being interrupted by mother nature, but there we were surrounded by snow.

In times like that it's easy to lose hope, turn around, and go home. But stubbornly (or stupidly depending on your viewpoint) we forged ahead. And our reward was to see a beautiful part of the country in a way few tourists get to.
