We took a little drive to Saline, where we noted that the Dairy Queen is much nicer than the ones in Ann Arbor. We then went over to Curtiss Park and sat by the river for awhile. It was most pleasant … the nicest stretch of weather I’ve seen in quite some time.

I tend to prefer Chelsea to Saline, for some reason. It just has a different look and feel to it that I like better, although I can’t explain it. Still, it was nice to get away. As I’ve said many times before, if I want to get away from home here, it’s a simple 10-minute drive. In San Francisco, it took six hours and you were on crowded, insane roads all the time.

It’s nice to have some space to breathe.

I’m making progress on getting all the various pieces of AirBeagle working with new layouts. I added the new photo galleries portal page today as well as a new gallery.

Here’s what works from the nav menu at left:

• Bike – Adventures in the bike lane
• Dayley – The return of the Dayley Bayley
• Fly – Airliners and flying
• Live – Asquared – where you are now
• Print – Books
• Screen – Cinema
• Teach – Grad School and Education
• View – Photo Galleries (to be expanded)

There’s still lots of work to do, but we’re getting there. The other links will go active as I get those sections done.
