When I’m traveling on my own, I don’t really go out and see the sights until 9 or 10. I was relieved when Mrs. Holstein assured me that they didn’t intend to leave the hotel and start seeing the sights until late in the day.

Of course, dopey me: the Holsteins are very early risers. For me, 6 AM is "wakeup time minus three hours." Whereas Mr. and Mrs. H were already awake, bathed, and had spent two hours catching up on email and other dairy business.

But I won’t complain. During these trips I’m working for them. Plus, I can’t deny that early sunrise really does wonders for an otherwise common tourist photo.

The Holsteins wanted to visit the White House while they were in town. They weren’t like the usual visitors, son they attracted a little attention initially. But the Secret Service knew that the family wouldn’t be a problem. Cows are the one kind of tourists who absolutely respect fences. Via Instagram: http://ift.tt/1T1ZpWE

First live-fire practical field test of COW CATCHER 9000 was a STUNNING success. And now, the bidding war for the patent begins. Or would that Skeezix the Nobel Prize I’m surely going to win this year? Via Instagram: http://ift.tt/1SEGX9A

After a final farewell breakfast, the Wedding Weekend is over. Meeting up with a friend for lunch, with wedding media in my pocket. There can still be a wedding video if my room is broken into OR I’m mugged, but not both. Via Instagram: http://ift.tt/1VMrsjK

It was a lovely wedding that left me in the sort of mood where afterward, I found myself going for a long midnight stroll, walking slowly, with my hands clasped behind my back. I sorted through a great many wonderful thoughts. The time allowed their flavors to steep and deepen.

The nice thing about this time of night is that there are no tourists or even many pedestrians around. So suddenly, the White House becomes just another big house on a road, like you’d find in any city. Via Instagram: http://ift.tt/1Qv88z5

I’m wearing three competing patterns and textures. …I thought it would add a “wow” factor, Tim. …Yes, Tim, I know what Nina will probably say…I do think I can defend this to the judges… Via Instagram: http://ift.tt/1SBXjzG

WedCam 6 – Pen camera. I had it running in case I talked to the groom and he thought it’d be amazing to have this in the pocket of his jacket. The top bit contains the lens and is the only thing the world can see. I could just hand it over and that would be that. Shoots hours of not-terrible HD video on a single charge.
