My present from my daughter: the Venus Fly Trap (not the fly). It's a small and rather prissy plant to grow. Still, if you follow the numerous instructions carefully, you may have a 30% chance of success. Oddly, she seemed to struggle some after her fly-meal. ♫ I don't know why she swallowed the fly, I hope she doesn't die... ♪

The Golden Gate: Fantastically beautiful to observe, a nightmare to walk across. One August it was extremely windy and was -458 degrees below zero. Yes, almost absolute zero. We all lasted about 15 minutes before we surrendered, and stiff leggedly walked back.
Amazing Gorman Falls. Part of Colorado Bend State Park,
about 70 miles from Brownwood.
San Francisco's infamous Alcatraz Island prison. Virtually inescapable, as if you didn't die from the likely hypothermia in the water, you wouldn't get past the sharks.
