august in pictures.

i'm working on a blog about my trip back to indiana, which really means i'm thinking about maybe trying to possibly write a blog about my trip back to indiana, but in the mean time i figured i should at least blog something.

i'm sure i could blog about each of these things individually, but who has time for that.
