I've just made a link...
to my videos album on photobucket, in my Adventuring travelblogue. I hope you will go and click on it, and besides the buffalo, which was the original point of posting, please check out my friend on the guitar. This is my alcoholic friend showing why, in spite of heartache and hassle, I love him. It was filmed in a rather spontaneous moment, when he had been months away from playing anything. It has taken me years to get him recorded at all, even in this very down-home manner, with my digital...

Making books
Now and then the online book-maker sites offer a sale, and I take them up on the opportunity. I am putting together one, a big one, that focuses on the geologic sights of the American West, from visits to the much-known parks, and some of the less-known ones, and the scenery along the roads. Trouble is, it keeps growing... I guess there will be a second volume one day. Meanwhile, I am busy researching some of the specific information about the layers and the geologic record. Hmm...

The dishes...
These are the two satellite dishes on the house, referring back to the next previous post about the problem of rural internet access.
