This picture was taken in Arizona in April of 2003 shortly after a very close encounter with a very large cow. Needless to say, the van was totaled. Shown in the picture from left to right, we have Jessica, Jeremy, Sara Back (now Erber), and Jeanine still in the van.

And now ladies and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I announce the all original program for the July series of Random Photos of Random Moments.
It will work like this: Whoever is the first person to post a comment on any Random Photo of the Random Moment, will be shown in the next Random Photo!
Now, of course I don't have pictures of everyone in the world, so if I don't have a picture of the first person that comments, I will simply skip over this person and wait for the first person that I do have a photo of.
Understood?
Yes? Yes?
Great!

Pictured are the auditions for Stephen Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind!
That's Great! LOL!
Well, with you it's not a question of if I have a picture, but which one?
Stay Tuned!
Jonathan
Wow. So this is the famous 'Cow van'!
Sarah
Sarah,
Yes it is. You can't really tell it in the picture, but if you were to draw an imaginary line from the bumper straight up the grill, you would end up about 1" to 2" away from the windshield. The hood was very buckled as you can somewhat tell in the picture.
Jonathan
This new photo program for July - is that to encourage or discourage the posting of comments :o)
Hey Jonathan -
Where's the picture of the spinning cow?
Mr. Ortega
Anonymous,
It was intended to be to encourage comments. I promise to do my best to not include all embarasing pictures. :)
Mrs. Ortega,
Unfortunately the camera was the last thing on our mind at the moment. :) However I have a VERY CRISP picture of those few moments permenantly imprinted on my mind. If only I could share those with you, you would be dazzled at the incredible clarity of my memory of the whole situation. I can still even picture the cooler, maps, and many water bottles that littered the floor between the front two seats.
It is amazing what trauma does. :)
Jonathan
Jonathan - Thank you for that colorful description - However, this is MR. Ortega you are talking to - I won't mention it this time with the trauma and all (Ha Ha)
MR Ortega
Sorry Mr. Ortega,
I got a little shook up looking at that picture, so I guess I kind of missed that. :-D

Greetings from Africa,
I spent two days in Paris, where between recovering from travelor's you know what, I did some sightseeing such as going to the top of the Eiffel Tower.
Going through Mail customs is rather intimidating because I speak neither French or the local language. I was very lucky to sit next to a young woman who had grown up in Africa and was coming to Mali for scientific research. I followed her instructions and sailed through customs with no problem. Now the laptop and satellite modem is safely delivered. The modem will help Csaba a lot with translation because he is currently very hampered by a very slow Internet connection that frequently is down.
