Thanks for solving the cockleburr puzzle, Stanley! As for the blue flower, it does look a bit like some sort of speedwell, but I'm more convinced it's a flax (petal number, leaf form). Here's one last flower puzzle from Day 2 of the trip. In some respects it looks like a wild snapdragon or penstemon, but I can't find any good matches on line.
Now off to turn my watch in for repair, and then get the computer checked out. It was behaving strangely last night - overheating, wouldn't respond to the keypad, kept reverting to code presentation. I had to give up on browsing. It's behaving ok now that it's cooled down. We'll see if it heats up again when I get to work, and if so it's off to the computer services with it (and hope they have a spare they can lend me meanwhile :S).
