Annnnnd they're off...... what is the definition of an athlete? Come on...weigh in on this one. A track star, a ballerina, football player, maybe a bowler. Has anyone ever considered a jockey? Looking at this finely tuned hunk of flesh will only fuel the debate. A good day at the track is.... well? Better than a sharp stick in the eye I think or something like that. Take a look and you make the call. Ciao, Miles

Only about 16 miles from Jefferson, Texas is the Five D's Steakhouse. There are only 467 People that live in Avinger and most of the them work at the steakhouse. If you ever get to Jefferson be sure and make the trip. The salad is killer...Honest. Miles

In Laramie Wyoming there is a one of the oldest salons and parlors in the American West. The Buckhorn Bar in Laramie has been around for a long time. It's bar stools have seen real gunslingers, senators, outlaws,, and the occasional tourist. If you're ever at the corner of Ivinson and 2nd in Laramie stop in for a brew and some conversation. This ones for my old friend MST. Adios. Miles. www.by.miles.org

You can tell alot about a person by their face. This face is about 9 feet by 9 feet. It's the roadside Sam Houston Statue on I-45 in Texas. They have a big visitors center and gift shop. I assume you can buy little Sam Houston's and even smaller Santa Anna dolls. As you might imagine it wasn't crowded. Sam Houston was the father of Texas Independence and Defeated Santa Anna at the battle of San Jacinto. NO CHARGE for the history lesson. Next time you are standing in front of someone you just met, see what you can tell what story their face tells... You might be surprized. Miles. www.bymiles.org

The long trip back from Mardi Gras began this morning. The solitude and silence of the open road only occasionally broken by "pitstops" of various kinds. I have passed this diner many times in my travels and always wondered if the burger they used to serve was any good. www.bymiles.org

Happy Valentines Day in the Big Easy. Mardi Gras is in full swing. It warmed up nicely and the beads were flying. A hurricane or two and the carousel bar at the Monteleonne on Royal Street. This photo is from the table at the Portella on the square. Let the good times roll... Say cheese is planning a shoot tomorrow. www.bymiles.org
