Before I left for work this morning, I read this story of a couple who killed themselves and their little girl with carbon monoxide poisoning yesterday. As you might imagine, I have a personal interest in carbon monoxide suicide so I rode by on my way to work. I was surprised to find that they had set out their trash and recycling before going through it.

Pictures from Iowa
The long weekend gave me some time to catch up on a few things including flipping through some pictures I took in Iowa and Minnesota. You can check them out here.
Update 9/4: This morning I discovered a bunch of pictures that I had not gone through yet. I’ll update the gallery with those soon.
Update 9/5: I added more photos and re-arranged the ones that were there. Some photos are missing captions but it’s mostly done.

Beach pictures
I created a new gallery of some pictures I took while we were at the beach earlier this month. It was a great afternoon with Uncle Buddy and Cousin Natians and, regrettably, the only one where we got in any beach time. I also uploaded a few to my Flickr page.
Bridge Pedal Pictures
I only snapped a few photos during the Bridge Pedal yesterday. Fortunately, someone on Flickr was smart enough to start a group for everyone to share pictures of the event. Here’s a few favorites:
- Thomas said, “Did you see that“?
- Because of the delays, we missed much of the goofiness.
- Post-crash analysis
- The last bridge was a tough climb.
- Holding up the Fremont Bridge
- Fruit and beverages that we never got.
