This was a carefully crafted trip which allowed easy communication home, and which included two guys who long ago bailed from our group. Bill Lewis who’d finally gotten a real job teaching fifth graders and Dan who’d spent so much time in a sitting position that moving about, even as little as we do, pushed […]
I’m way behind posting every little detail of my life. How do I know? Matthew told me so. Our trip to Kansas to meet family and friends and tell stories and see my father’s headstone exceeded even what I could have imagined. And the guy’s camping trip to Maine, though intentionally shortened, was liberating. I […]
Michael, Although you love intense color, you might consider these uncolorful photographs by Melford. Many of the shots are sepia, but they could as well be black and white. With few exceptions the subject, Death Valley, needs only one dimension in colorspace. While you’re at it, get out your 40-inch screen a view Victoria Crater, […]
Michael, Easterners, with a few exceptions, don’t worry about wildfires too much. But Californians and, to a lesser extent, Coloradans,take wildfires as an inescapable part of life. Much like Kansans and tornadoes, probably. Since two of the “Beartoothers”, members of the Fogy Fivesome hiking crew, live in the San Diego area, and my sister & […]
Here are screenshots of two desktops showing very different working styles. To show us yours, save the photo to the desktop or anywhere you might have prayer of finding it (I’m thinking of PC users), then click the upload button on the gallery.
As many of you know last February I had my father buried in his hometown cemetery in Latham, Kansas. I didn’t have the time to have the headstone installed and my brother, Brian, suggested that we do so in the fall. Six weeks ago I began calling monument companies to get the stone cut and […]
Michael,Boring clouds in Maryland, exciting clouds in Colorado. I’ve been collecting clouds since we arrived here. Here you will find my latest best dozen cloud shots. In the past months there were several phantasmagorical sky views I couldn’t shoot for various reasons, like driving 70 mph down a crowded road (not being a Miller), absent […]
Mike, My old buddy Chuck is hobbling around with an undiagnosible knee problem. First his doc told him he had a torn meniscus in his left knee. Then the MRI showed nothing. So he’s going to physical therapy, and his therapist told him to go do a lot of biking. He called me up and […]
Here’s a robust (read: maybe too many) photo gallery of pictures Adam and I snapped last weekend. Mine begin with Adam’s face. And, finally, a photo of Dan’s two dog’s which should satisfy La Rad.
Fun story in Wired by Charles Graeber, on Alex Roy’s attempt to break the 22-year-old “totally illegal†record for driving from Manhattan to Santa Monica in 32 hours, 7 minutes. If you read the story (Adam, Matthew, rakkity) take the time to also watch the short videos.
