If you haven’t heard, there are many sites protesting SOPA and PIPA today.  I think the TED talk posted above does a good job of explaining the background behind SOPA/PIPA, and why they are bad ideas.  If you believe that these acts are not the solution, please make yourself heard by contacting your representative and senators.

This Barred Owl was the highlight of the trip.

December 10, 2011 – Since it was already a week since our last road trip, we took a road trip to Columbia.  Since we like to travel through food, we stopped for lunch at a local place called Albert’s Deli. We tried a couple great sandwiches, one with roast beef/turkey/pastrami and melted cheese (the Better Boy), the other with Lebanon bologna and on toasted rye. Both sandwiches were great, we’d definitely go back.

This yellow-bellied sapsucker was the first bird sighting of the day.

After lunch we continued on to Congaree National Park. We had a few hours before the park closed and wanted to explore some of the elevated boardwalk. We had fun on the boardwalk, and took a few photos.

We finally saw a Red-Headed Woodpecker on this trip.

The Barred Owl was enjoying the peace and quiet in the late afternoon.
