The more things change... 'Our Place' is real, and there are always changes-even in a rental. Like, for instance, I just changed the flapper in my toilet. It (finally) became apparent to me that I'd installed

Oh, and one further question. Were you invited to the PM's party? Any truth to the rumor that it was your anniversary bash? :)

Wow. That's some impressive construction technique. Maybe impressive isn't exactly the right word... I did a little work for a contractor buddy doing a big renovation to a house built in 1947. It was slab

There were lots of recognizable things here-and I showed some of the geometric patterns. All in all it was a pretty intense site, compact and 'busy'. The people that made these carvings lived in at least

Hmmmmm. I didn't think of using a negative to highlight the markings on the stone. I'll bet that would work (I'll try it on some of them). I had good light and could see at the sight better than it shows

At the end of the last ice age it was much wetter there in Central Nevada. I think the cedar trees would have been tall and lush. This survivor is just hanging on... Even 'High Desert Petroglyph Site'

Good to see I haven't lost my touch due to inactivity.

Thank you for the mention and the attention. I really do appreciate it.

Damn. I've never had an ear infection or lost hearing for anything over minutes. I'd not like that at all. Not to mention that I don't do pain particularly well. I hope yours is done forever. I love the

I have to tell you, I like our word better. Whine. Because I can say "You want some cheese and crackers with that whine?". But since you opened that bottle I might as well partake. I'm tired

Yep. Exactly. How can that be justified in any head?

Thank you! It's really good to be back on the road-both roads, I think. Thanks for stopping by!

Oh, heavens no. I might learn it, or just fake it, but it'd be better than naming it for the owner. I always thought the Western Cedar was a sort of attractive tree. It's tall and mostly straight with

Thanks for your support and service.

The fight over water rights has already begun. The Colorado Compact expires anyway in 2024 and with the low water? It's going to be nasty, I fear.

I take reasonable care of my feeties. They've carried me a long ways and have some mileage left to go. I generally take my feet with me when I travel-this photo is taken outside a general store at the

Somebody needs to convince US that Mother Nature is headed for a breakdown. She already knows. There is an official proposal to eliminate Glen Canyon Dam (as of yesterday) in a water saving measure. Not

I've said it before, in fact I've said it to you before (is it plagiarism if I repeat an often used trope? Sue me if it is :)): Every hour I ride my motorcycle gives me a 59 minute vacation. I also love

I have to tell you. I'm like you, I prefer my places with some age and local flavor to them. But I just loved the new store. The set up was wonderful and they had a flock of young workers that were polite

I'd never ridden all of US 50. Parts and pieces over the years but this was my first time using it as the primary road. It was great. I don't think it was the loneliest road I was on, but traffic was very
