I'm stuck at a conference right now (I get to hear Jant Reno speak tomorrow, I'm pumped about that) so let's post pictures of ourselves ON THE INTERNETS.

I've seen what some of you freaks look like but it's always amusing to connect a face to a name.

Here's me in my STATS LAIR (A Marriot). Currently waiting for my next presentation.

This is me at Shea last summer

Me @shea

I look exactly the same except I am now bearded. My access to up-to-date pictures is sorely limited @work.

The guy in the David Wright jersey there appears to be rocking some kind of weird mohawk mullet.

It was actually an hilarious game

This mets fan behind me bought the foam finger for the sole purpose of f’ing with me. The two girls sitting next to me and my bud proceeded to ridicule him for his Yankees cap and me for my giants cap, but we ended up having beers together, etc.

It was also the first game post Boonitez, which was nice, even though the giants got dominated

yes this is much less emo. Also I apologize to your STATS computer. I was just angry when I said it could fornicate with itself.

They allow beer in the STATS LAIR?

VERY COOL!

Locally (the Central Valley), we have a wonderful place called Project Survival’s Cat Haven. I’ve been taking my family there since not long after it opened about 10 years ago. I’ve never gotten to hold any of their cats, but I have been within about a foot of Ivan, the Siberian Lynx (when he was about a year old)

and… recently, I was at the Twilight Tour (their primary fundraising event), and they brought out Cous Cous on a leash. It was exciting to within a couple of feet of this adorable lion cub.

I highly recommend a visit to anyone that lives in (or is visiting) the Fresno area. It’s only about 45 miles from Fresno in the small foothills town of Dunlop. You travel right by The Cat Haven if you are driving up to the Kings Canyon or Sequoia National Parks (also highly recommended) on Hwy 180.

by Jakespaar on Jul 22, 2008 2:26 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Oops, I misspelled "Dunlap"

And, I forgot to mention that they have a 17 year old bobcat named Rufus. Here’s a recent Fresno Bee article about The Cat Haven.
