  • HOW POPULAR IS YOUR SURNAME?

    I stumbled on this website that shows how popular your last name is in each state.

  • BLIND PAINTER

    John Bramblitt is a student at the University of North Texas. Several years ago, Bramblitt lost his sight to epilepsy.

    He was inspired by something his mother used to do. He remembered how calm she was when she painted.
    Bramblitt starts with a blank canvass and image in his mind. He then outlines his painting with fabric paint. This paint leaves a raised outline he can feel.

    He then feels his way through the painting, filling in areas with color. He can actually tell which color he uses by its texture and weight. His paintings are amazing!

  • LET'S GO FOR A LITTLE HIKE!

    First - take the tram up to the start of the trail.
     
     
    Now follow the path.

     
    Be sure to hold on to the 'railing'.

     
    Keep an eye on the person in front of you.

     
    Be very careful when passing someone going in the opposite direction.

     
    Now just up a few steps. (they are on the left in the picture)

     
    Gets a little steeper here - so put your toes in the holes .

     
    A few more steps to go.


    Finally in sight.
