The Shblog goes political!

So, Barack Obama visited Columbia, Missouri tonight, a short 5-minute walk from my place of work. I went over to check it out, only to find that I couldn't get within 100 yards of where he would be speaking. Here are some photos:

The setting: University of Missouri ("MIZZOU") campus.  Lots and lots of people.  

Some idiots climbed trees to get a better look and they received a scary superbright flashlight of doom from these dudes on top of a nearby building.

My camera has a 300mm zoom lens and this was the best I could do, needless to say I was far away.  But we could sure hear him.  He gave a great speech.  But you don't have to take my word for it.  (bah-dum-dah!)  Here is a link to the speech.  I recorded it on my phone, so don't expect Doubly.  ("I think you mean dolby.")  Name that movie!

Lucie (sort of) acknowledges her sister!

And now, more of lucie (for a change):

A sign at my hospital.  Should we be trying to help people be less aware of their pain?  "Don't forget, sir.  This hurts.  A lot!  Are you aware of that?"

She's home!!!

Pics of baby jane finally home are coming soon. In the meantime, check out Lucie preparing for her impending arrival.

Janie (the official nickname)

Footloose and Tube-free!



The last pic is my favorite. In fact, so much so, that it deserves it's own spot sans-slideshow:

My little Fuhrer

Yikes.

Anna Jane ("janie" or "AJ" or "AJ-47" or "ganie" (to lucie)) is here!

Check out a bunch of random pics, and then the new addition! She's doing great, hopefully we'll get her out of the ICU and home in the next few days!
