Re: Update on wireman

Best wishes, wireman, and hope you have a speedy recovery. I know this is your second stroke, so you know the drill. I had a stroke in 2014, and recovery is a slow process, but you can get back to normal. Make that, "normal", which is relative...

Re: All That Water Has To Go Somewhere

This is going to be a double whammy: First, the snow melt in the Sierras, followed by, or accompanied with, the monsoon season rains. Don't go near the water...

Re: Naming No Names

What if they gave an election, and no one came? (I kid.)

You know, that's frighteningly possible... :shock:

Re: Fall Creek Deer

Actually, this isn't exactly the shot I wanted. If I'd been 10 seconds faster, they'd have been nose to nose. It was a drive-by shot, and in Fall Creek Falls State Park (Tennessee), the critters are pretty well used to vehicles on the road - until the cars stop, then they boogie. So, I had just enou...

Naming No Names

the man who would be president
may be the worst ever
but only history will tell
but one thing is certain
and obviously true:

Re: The Road East

I know. The fog is what makes the scene so compelling. This shot was actually "accidental": I was actually setting up to shoot a large meadow scene about 90 degrees to the right and not paying much attention to the road.

As much as I'd really like to say, "It'll be OK", it won't. The only thing you can do is try to make her life as easy as possible for the time she has left. After that, dealing with the memories. After that, facing the inevitable yourself...
