A good thing about jet lag is that it gets you up in the morning. I awoke at five, played around with the computer, showered, breakfasted and was outside at half past seven.

It's a brisk, cold sunny morning with snowy lawns and smoking breath. I took a short walk over to the nearest geocache (by Research Triangle Park's little memorial plaza) and took a few pix on my way back.

I just popped out for a burger at Arbee's, and I chose a seat with a good view of the full moon riding high over a Shell gas station.

Martin, it's nice to see that you've completely captured the NC culture by photographing our state symbol, the reflective construction barrel. Even when our roads are constructed, they are often ripped up again and redone just for fun.

On a more serious note, also nice that you stopped by the RTP memorial plaza - it's quite hidden and rarely even noted by natives. I think it's quite well done so go ahead and post a few pix if you took any there.

Sorry Abel, the light wasn't good at the plaza and I saw nothing that caught my photographic eye, so I have no pix to show for my visit.
