Circulation Issues

This weekend we took a trip into D.C. to visit the Museum of Crime and Punishment. We got to fire fake guns, read about the cleverest crimes in history, and learn about torture tactics. We took a short trip through colonial time and posed at the pillory (not to be confused with the stocks which secure your feet and/or hands and not your head). Quite the appropriate activity for Halloween.

In one room at the museum they had thermographic/infrared cameras. Essentially, they detect body heat and anywhere warm shows up bright yellow on the screen. Here's an example of what it looks like (this is a snake wrapped around someone's hand).

When I popped up on screen I was yellow everywhere- except my fingers and nose! They were as black as the background. (It looked like I had a hole in the center of my face.) Dustin and Brooke could leave a thermal hand print on the wall. Mine was only a palm. The guy working at the museum seemed kind of freaked out. Now you know I'm not lying when I say my fingers are always cold (hence the gloves in the photo above)! (Note that 21.6 C = approx. 70 F.) Scary.

And now for a few random photos that weren't worthy of a post of their own... A couple weeks ago we met my family in Charlottesville for the evening. That's when we took these:
