I have a couple of really adorable videos of my nephew that I shot last weekend, when he was feeling particularly sugared-up and like dancing — including a rare few moments of the Pony Macaroni, something we’ve been trying to get him to show us for months. Alas, these vids are sadly stuck on my phone at the moment; they’re apparently too big to upload, so I have to wait ’till I’m home, where the cable is, and then hope that I can persuade them off the card where they’re saved. And then save them onto something else so that I can bring them back into work, where I can upload them, and — given the speed with which I’ve gathered and edited and uploaded my Maui photos and videos, I leave it to you to guess when this might actually happen.
In the course of trying to sweet-talk the vids onto the internet, however, I rediscovered a few pictures I snapped when I was in Cali in early August. Behold, then, the deliciousness of the sweet potato fries at The Counter, and the generous leg room in the bathroom stall at the drop zone.

Is that an injured camel lying in your sweet potato fry dipping sauce?

The camel is drunk on sweet potato goodness — but the band you see on his ankle (do camels have ankles?) is from when he went to the rodeo a couple months ago. Bryce and I had gotten a roll of green masking tape from someone and for some reason made wristbands out of it, which led to bands for the camel and his gorilla. Then when we got to the rodeo we discovered that all of the workers were wearing wristbands almost exactly the same shade, and we felt a bit weird about it all, like maybe they’d think we were trying to sneak something over on them, and so we took them off — but the camel and gorilla insisted on keeping theirs.
