Please keep posting your SOTD; they're always wonderful to look at.

Hi heirkb! Thanks for the kind words. Love your photos as well.

We've switched cities. I'm originally from NYC. I don't miss it that much though especially with rough winters like this year. Hope all is well with you in the big apple!

With all the guns on display I thought I'd fly my freak flag high and proud today. I'm not Buddhist but I can dig their arts and culture. This singing bowl isn't mystical or enchanted, but does excite the ears and lower blood pressure. I also dig the overtone singing. The Tuvan's took it several steps further and developed many styles of overtone and throat singing, which I have been practicing for 10 years now.
