For us it depends on how much we can sell our house for.

Here's an autograph from John's wife Bonita who played the Borgified human scientist on 1 episode of the show. I forgot to post it before.

Here's the rest of our pictures (some of them) from our brief trip into Dallas, and our detour to Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon before we went home.

Gun-shot cacti? :tsktsk:

I'm so pleased you got to see the Grand Canyon and Sedona! :shock: Looks like you had a beautiful day for it. It looks like you HIKED DOWN INTO the canyon? Wow. We stayed at the top. My kids still say that was the best vacation. Scenery so amazing even KIDS are impressed. You two look great too in those pictures. :)

Wow. I've never been to the Grand Canyon. Looks like it's worth the trip. Maybe I'll go in the winter. 8)

I love Arizona in the Summer 8)

yeah, the cacti is from birds - and mean birds. Like roadrunners and crow-sized-woodpeckers. Birds can be dangerous out in the desert.

News: According to Ms Atoz and JK over at WWBJ, they haven't heard anything about their refunds from "FedCON". That's not surprising is it? :?

TJ either bought or made or something this awesome shirt:

Thanks again for the suggestion! We had an awesome time :D As for hiking into the canyon: we only walked maybe 20 minutes down, but have plans to go camping and river-rafting next time!

And the temperature... was a very temperate 80 degrees at the top of the canyon, but heats up quickly as you descend. The floor temperature was apparently about 108 the day we were there: hot, but nothing like the 117 high in Phoenix the following day ;)
