Suddenly: Goodbye

I’ve gotten an offer to work as the Affton, Missouri editor for Patch.com, an increasingly nation-wide hyperlocal news outlet. This is a very exciting career advancement for me, but it also means I’m cutting my time in India short. I’ll be flying back to the States tomorrow, and will be busy settling back in and catching up with friends in New York and St. Louis for the next couple weeks. I really don’t know what form this blog is going to take going forward, though I have a good chunk of pictures still waiting to get up.

You’ll just have to stick around and see.

Temporary Color Change

Look, I’m going to level with you here. I have no content to put up. Nothing. We dropped the past two Sunday issues, so the pieces I’ve written for the paper lately will have to wait. I’ve pretty much gone though the best of my Thailand photos, and I haven’t had a chance to do any new photography of interest back in Sikkim. So today I’m just changing to the color scheme to “dark,” for fun. I hope that is enough for you, feral internet dogs that you are.

Haven’t seen one of these in a while…

Last two days I forgot what day it was and gave you all bonus weekend posts. Lucky you! So here is just a pictures of a sweet-ass helicopter. Don’t see nearly so many of these in Sikkim, though we have them (like two).

Streets

Photos of streets around Gangtok. Obviously a lot of shots I have posted have been taken from or of streets, but hopefully this gives you a better sense of the size and geography of the place.
