We are in Kansas Dorothy!
September 3, 2007 We are in Kansas Dorothy! And boy is it flat. OK, here are the subject lines if I had written an e-mail every day. Friday: I am so stupid, stupid, stupid Saturday: This is absolutely mind blowing Sunday: I just want to get home Monday: This is a small world/what does it […]
Lake Tahoe to Ely
August 30, 2007 What a day, rain, gray skies, creepiest place on earth, awesome sunlight, moonlight dinner. What else can anyone ask for? I could have done without the creepy place, more about that in a bit. For now, I am going to skip my journey from Bellingham to San Francisco. It will follow, but […]
On the road again – going home
August 30, 2007 What a difference a day or two make. After two beautiful days of rest at Lake Tahoe with my friends Lynn and Doug, I am off going east on highway 50. My battery is recharged, my eyes are rested and I am ready for the home stretch. I got tons of sleep […]
Birds and coyotes
When one doors closes another one opens. After almost three months in the same place I am finally back on the road. It was a bitter sweet good bye. I got a nice send off from my friends, including a very sweet care package from Sandy consisting of bananas, apples, some tuna and bread and […]
Finally and too much of a good thing
Good things happen when you least expect them to. Ever since I arrived here a couple of months ago, I have been asked if I had seen any bighorn sheep yet. No, despite having hiked in areas the sheep hang out; we had come across their droppings and bedding but never seen any sheep. I […]
My backyard
Overton is a small town. There are no fixed population numbers to be found anywhere, but during the winter months the population increases by a couple of hundred. Snowbirds from the northern states, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and even Canada, come down here to escape the deep freeze and all that snow in their states. The […]
A year in review
The past twelve months have flown by faster than any other that I can remember. It is hard to believe, but it has been a year since I left New York City that cool rainy day in March. And now I am here in Nevada basking in the sun. I once again drove out onto […]
Things are not always what they appear to be
The following are random thoughts that came to me just before I went to sleep. I grabbed some paper and a pencil and jotted them down. When I looked at them in the morning it seemed like there was a disconnect between the two strings of thought. However, I have been mulling this over for […]
Still in Nevada
In the beginning it was the cold weather further east that kept me from moving on. Then, I had to get things done, taxes, websites, before I moved on. But then I had and still have this apprehension of moving east, because with every step east I would move closer to New York and to […]
Check it out
Finally, I put some great photos on the Photo tab, take a look. I have also been working on a new website for the last couple of days. I hope to reveal it later this week. This will make it easy for everyone to view and hopefully, buy my photos. When I am not slaving […]
