A view of the vast woods behind Steve's house, from the viewpoint of his gym. The windowed wall that spans the back of Steve's living room creates quite a beautiful view, but according to Steve wreaks havoc on his electric bill. |

Sky in his office, where his website Tarzan.CC is maintained. Out of sight behind his left elbow is the Dictaphone transcription machine containing his new interview with Eve Brent, which he gave a sneak peak of to Steve and Jim during one of their visits. |

Steve, Sky, and Sky's balu Schuyler (asleep) crossing Little Rock's new Big Dam Bridge, supposedly the largest footbridge in the United States. The Big Dam Bridge was named according to its location at Murray Lock and Dam, and provides a walkway to the opposite shore over the Arkansas River. Though it opened in 2006, it was our first time to even see it, much less cross it. |
