We Salute Pinto

At a time when many we know (including ourself) spend their days encamped in libraries and classrooms, dronishly preparing for exams; when still others are engaged in the forty-or-more hour work week (many of you for noble causes--you have our respect), we shall take a moment to salute a bold, globetrotting spirit: our friend, Pinto.

Pinto is a fine photographer, critic, gambler, and friend. Formerly, he worked in information technologies for Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA. During that time, he was known for, among other things, his propensity to nap during his lunch break, including once in a shopping cart--no small feat for a man who stands nearly 6'3".

Upon retiring at the age of 26, Pinto embarked on a world tour, first traveling with his mother, then alone, and now with his friend Scott. Currently, he is somewhere in India. An excerpt from his most recent e-mail:

Oryx is a delicious animal popular in Southern Africa.
They look cool too. I hope to open an oryx ranch
when I get back home.

Godspeed, Pinto!
