(I know, hold your applause.)

I’m not in love with it, but Schmap also makes the widget I’ve helpfully included here. Just for fun, try to find my picture without pulling all your hair out. Hint: I blogged about it earlier if you need to cheat.

The backstory: I took a spur-of-the-moment trip to Nevada last July Fourth, and wound up in Virginia City on a lark.  Turns out they’re really into our nation’s birthday there (a guy at a biker bar told me that they are, quote, America Friendly, unquote, in the VC), and go all out with the historical costumes and country music or whatever.

Also, the geniuses at Schnap found my picture on Flickr.  Cheers.
