Walking Up Waterfalls

I'm riding around exploring the places of my past. Its funny how some chapters are laid to rest with a bookend. The man who walked me and my granddad around the first day I came up to visit this college fifteen years ago doesn't know that I helped mow my grandad's grave yesterday, he doesn't know...

That Goddamned Dog - A Romance

I heard a lot of protestations from my dad about bringing my dog back to Tennessee with me. "I can't believe he's bringing back that goddamned dog", 'she's not coming in this house", "that damn dog better not shit in my yard" etc etc. Well, I've been moving around a lot since I got back and my dog...

Abbey's Profitable Signature and the Devil's Garden

This evening I sat at the bar in the wood fired pizza place in Moab, having a couple of beers and reading the Zeypher, bi-monthly newspaper dedicated to environmental concerns and area characters, and whose slogan is “clinging hopelessly to the past since 1989”.

Moab, Arches, and Canyonlands - My Favorite Desert Places

Moab, Utah and rain. This monsoon season in the desert is a very real thing. Last night at this time I was in Arches National Park taking fascinating pictures of the sunset smashing red against the exquisite arches that dominate the park. Fire on the desert floor. But tonight it’s a gully-washer, at... Sign in to see full entry.

St George, Utah - Splattered On The Road

I've had a slow day today due to too much fun last night in Las Vegas. I drove over and got a cheap motel room to lick my wounds. There are torn curtains, odd unmentionable stains on the bed spread and a bottle opener mounted in the bathroom. Here are pics from my roadtrip so far. They are from... Sign in to see full entry.

Sony Digital Cameras, A Review: Great At First But...

I suspect many reviewers buy a camera, use it one weekend then review it as the best thing since sliced bread. I've owned three Sony cameras, the latest being a DSC-W5. All have worked well and taken excellent pictures and movies. But none have lasted more than a year. The telescopic lens on my... Sign in to see full entry.

Hike Up Mount Ellinor, 16 July 2006

Yesterday K and I had planned to drive across the Narrows bridge to Borders in Tacoma. Then we would come back and take Mazy for a walk. But I woke up and saw the air was warm and the sky was incredibly blue. I stepped into the street to get a view of the mountains and saw that there was not a cloud... Sign in to see full entry.

A Wet Summer Excursion

Well Summer has strained, wheezed, and flared up a time or two and it looks like next week it might make it to western Washington to stay. This week has been rainy and cool so I drove over to the coast for a change of scenery. I wanted to get some good photos of the sunset but there wasn't much,... Sign in to see full entry.
