For those of your who remember the original Ray=Out, you're undoubtedly familiar with my long standing tradition of putting a blog together either several days before, or in this case the day of, my departure. I feel this inaugaral post should be accompanied by some grand sort of fanfare, but I'll settle for simply promising that updates won't stop suddenly like they did on the original Ray=Out. I firmly place all blame for that on North Korea making my job much more time consuming.
That said, things are a bit different this time around. Gone are the glory days of the unpaid intern. Rather, I now post as a (arguably) productive member of the workforce. For a little more on what sort of work I'm involved with check out http://pims.org . I'll be living and workingin Stuttgart, Germany for the next few months. At the behest of so many to 'take lots of pictures' and 'keep us posted' I decided it was time to dust off the blogging skills and make an earnest attempt this time around. Thanks to a new digicam and a whole new area to explore, I forsee it going well, if only due to the abundance of performance automobiles I'll undoubtedly see.
In the interest of taking care of a few minor issues, such as 'not missing my flight', I'll wrap this up for the moment. When next I post it will either be from Stuttgart or the Airport, depending on what kind of day security is having.
