Actually I’m in Jersey City, NJ just across the river from New York…and man is it a terrific view!
My wife and I stayed in New York for one evening and have been in Jersey City for two nights, and on our next trip we have decided we will be staying in Jersey City the entire trip. With 24 hour transportation I can’t think of any reason not to.

This is another photo from the trip to the New Mexico State Prison. Before we went inside we walked the grounds where this bunch of razor wire had been unwound. It turns out that this type of razor wire is usually packed in a double wind opposing each other (like Concertina wire) This has the benefit of unfurling in an unpredictable manner when cut causing severe harm to whoever is attempting to escape. This stuff is also of the stainless steel variety and still as sharp as can be.

I am mentioned on this page in the Alibi

Thank you all who voted for me!

The two photos for today are both from the old NM State Prison that was involved in the February 2, 1980 riots.
The self-portrait (that is me peeking through the broken window) was shot in the dormitory where the riot was started.
The other photo is of the gas chamber. This gas chamber was used once on August 11, 1960 to put David Cooper Nelson to death. His last words were “OK Warden. God be with you.”

This past weekend I was in San Antonio and woke to this beautiful sunrise from our hotel room window. San Antonio is a wonderful city, and the Alamo view from the Hyatt Regency San Antonio on the River Walk is breathtaking.
