Hank, Willow, Piper, Todd and Sarah

by | Tue Oct 21, 2008 | All (Home), Travel | 2 Comments

Went to a McCain/Palin rally in Grand Junction yesterday.  Sarah was there and it opened with Hank Williams, Jr.  I'm voting for Piper in 2030. I didn't have my 400mm lens so the pics are blurry when enlarged and cropped.

4th of July Flag and Fireworks

by | Wed Jul 9, 2008 | All (Home), Homestead | 0 Comments

I took the following photo from our back deck using my lowly iPhone 2MP camera.  It shows the fireworks from the lake about a mile away with my backyard flagpole in the foreground.  Just a bit of shadow/highlight adjustment in Photoshop CS3 and it looks OK.

Area transportation for seniors is a laudable goal and most communities seem to have implemented something. Some contract with a local bus company to help get seniors to their doctor appointments while others establish their own systems. When I lived in Meeker, CO...
