One happy group of Carls! Shot by one very tall server at the Pub-thank God her skirt wasn't 1 inch shorter. Thanks for the photo, Nancy!
Arah & Steve, about to enjoy a great meal at Doc Crow's. Oysters, brisket, fried okra, and of course, bourbon-soaded bread pudding, to wrap it up. (photo from Nancy)
Bourbon tasting, chez Dode & Nancy. At this point we just might be tasting the very sugary honey-fortified (?) bourbon, and trying to figure out what the ??? the distiller was thinking. (pic from Nancy)
Arah the typography geek, enjoys some signage on Main street.
This crawdad reminded Arah of one she encountered while trail running in Eagan.

Wasp nest, on beautiful fence.
Beauteous corn-themed fence. Corn is great, but corn used for bourbon in Kentucky is even greater.
Steve & awesome lift bridge, in Louisville, from river front trail.
Crested Cormorant, on Ohio River, in Louisville.
Arah marvels at the stamped concrete.
Downtown Louisville.
A very badass counterweight, for this bridge.
Another moment, for this typography nerd.
So, so many decorative uses for glass...
Cool (gooey) science experiment, in old storefront.
