The view from where I take my break on my daily bicycle ride:



The background music is me on guitar and bass, the drums are synthesized.

Near the radio site on White Tanks there was a sign pointing to a trail to "Silver Springs". After a quarter mile or so there were a couple of car springs half buried in the ground that were painted silver. It was a running joke among the tech's that visited the site. I wonder if they are still there?

I've seen a few deer up there in the spring time. There is running water and a small waterfall there sometimes in the County Park but it quickly disappears underground. Lots of Indian hieroglyphics on the rocks near the stream.

Oh, let me show you the good stuff. This was taken December 9th, 2015 at Tianjin airport. This is the city where that huge explosion from the illegal chemical storage occurred. Do you see the vague outline of the tall skinny tower?




This picture was taken December 10th, 2015. It's the control tower. And it's not that far away. Fog? Smoke? Nope, smog. Air pollution so thick you can taste it.

Saw this earlier in the week, will start cleanup and repair of it tomorrow. (if cardio appointment doesn't take too long)

It would appear you have sufficient nesting and building materials for birds, beavers and anything else that should choose to reside with in the county, Your local wildlife thank you.

Isn't it strange that after a bombing, everyone blames the bomber, his upbringing, his environment, his culture, his mental state but … after a shooting, the problem is the gun?

My Uncle Frank was a staunch Conservative and voted straight Republican until the day he died in Chicago. Since then he has voted Democrat. Shrug

Yeah, wel, it's pushing the fence over and next flood will finish it off if I on't get over there and pull it on my side of the fence. Al that crap came from my brother's property when he had some trees cut up and piled and didn't burn it. Until I get a gate way put in, I can't get over there without just cutting the fence and I don't really want to cut the fence. Rained today so I won't be able to get to putting in a gate till tomorrow or Saturday.
That high tensile Bakaert gaucho wire (Made in Ky, USA) may give a little but won't stretch all out like that low carbon Red Brand does. Lots of eople hate hi tensile because it's so stiff, unforgiving, and hard to work with but I won't use anything else.

My excitement for the day was riding the Metra...


...and spotting a balloon on my way to work.

Unfortunately, this is a 2 hour youtube video loop with sound also. Not sure if it's helping or not.

One should consider the question, was this trip really necessary?

My BIL works for Cummins and spends a lot of time in China and the far east, he has some sinus sensitivities. Always comes back messed up and can't breath for weeks, then turns around and goes back,
