The Calm After the Storm A few days ago I posted a picture of the storm at the airport here in Palm Beach.  I was contemplating flying into the heart of the storm instead of sitting in a room full of attorneys for the day.  Today I chose the latter and it was about as much fun as it sounds.  It was my first time through this particular experience and it wasn't what I would call a rockin' good time.   I wish I could have said, "Your honor, the witness (me) is being badgered" but there was no judge, just a bunch of lawyers quoting rules and regulations I've never heard of.  I think, technically, lawyers have formed a sovereign nation who have created a set of rules that abstract them and all behavior from regular society.  That's another pseudo-sociological concept I am working on, but is a rather empty thing to really think about unless you are on a break in one of those badgering-sessions.  After the session, I headed out to get some pictures around Palm Beach.  I twisted my ankle in an effort to get this one... that dock is even more uneven than it looks!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

The Blue Before the Storm This was taken literally five minutes before I got drenched to go under the shade and drink coffee for an hour, stranded with my camera, imagining my panacea of Photomatix later in the day.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
