It was just eight days ago that I took myself off on my annual Birthday/Photo Roadtrip. This image is one of the ones I captured on that day. This shot was taken in San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge but it could have been taken in a number of other locations…
The sunset last evening was fairly nice. Clearing skies after a round of rough weather blew through on a cold front. Here is a shot of the abandoned jeep my ex-neighbors left behind... The back door is closed this morning and the heat pump is on in the heating cycle. …
I haven't been in tune with Garrison for a while but today's poem seems to have something to say about where I am...right now. We'll never get there, Time is always ahead of us, running down the beach, urging us on faster, faster, but sometimes we take off our watches,…
It was a great trip...not so great for pictures, but a hell of a way to recharge the psychic batteries. The weather was beautiful. Nothing but blue skies and sunshine. Temperatures started out cool in the low 40's but by afternoon had warmed up into the low 60's. The wind…
No matter what the weather brings tomorrow, I will spend the day on my annual photo road trip/beach meditation party. This will be the third annual event. A holiday from work I present to myself. A day of wandering the countryside of my life. If the prognosticators are right, the…
via whiskey river "Just as the highest and the lowest notes are equally inaudible, so perhaps, is the greatest sense and the greatest nonsense equally unintelligible." - Alan Watts I find that quote both disturbing and dishearteningly astute. It is disturbing mainly because if the greatest nonsense is unintelligible, how…
I read this in the latest "News From Vermont" sent out by Burr Morse...This issue was written by Weston Cate. It doesn't make any difference whether or not the Ground Hog sees his shadow on February 2. What does matter is that date marks the halfway point in the winter.…
Our run of not half bad weekends continues...The sun is out in a mostly clear sky. The temperature is already threatening to pass 60 degrees on this midwinter Saturday morning. As I sat here musing this morning, I was struck again by the amount of green I still see through…
'Tis the last day of January and the month has flown. We seem to be riding a weather roller coaster this week. Three mornings ago it was in the low 40's the next day was 70. Yesterday we were back in the 40's. Today it's in the mid 60's. They…
What a difference a day can make...Yesterday at this time it was 70° outside, today it's 44. It looks like winter is back for a day or two. I heard the prognosticator on the radio yesterday warning about rain moving in this afternoon and evening, so the clear skies of…
It ain't much of a question...But lately as I get up in the morning or read email of a evening, I find myself searching for a reason to start a conversation. Even if I'm only talking to myself...You would think I could come up with something to say...But, no, the…
The level of concentration that has been required for the past few weeks at my day job has had consequences on the level of posting going on at this blog. By the time I get home each day all I want to do is vegetate. By the time I drag…

Talk about touching a chord in my psyche. Verlyn's essay on driving and learning to drive is poetic in the way it pulls memories out of the dregs of my subconscious and plants them in the forebrain, full of scents, and sounds, and muscle memory. Being from Texas, I was…
The weather out this morning was frightful...windy, cold (for SE Texas), and wet. So here is a sunrise from earlier this month. I was a little late to get the full effect...What a gorgeous morning... Y'all have a great weekend.

The pace at work since the new year has been quite frantic. I find myself sleeping late almost every morning. It's cutting down on my musing time as I have my toast and coffee each morning. Some mornings it seems like I barely get through the email and important reader…
One of the fun things about checking the visitor stats on this blog (and NC Mtn Dreams) is you sometimes stumble on someone who stumbled onto you. Just such a case happened this morning as I checked my email and munched on my toast. I started seeing referrals from a…
After three days of enjoying blue skies and shorts and t-shirt weather, it's back to the office cubicle. Low light levels and mood music as I spend the day working in virtual 3d worlds. Ever since the first of the year the workload has spiked. So that by the days…
I am enjoying a beautiful winters day of forced leisure. The sun is shining in a bluer than blue clear sky. The temperature is in the mid 60's with just a slight breeze blowing from the north. It's a quiet, lazy Friday with most folks at work or in school.…
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe. – John Muir ++++++++++ As I wandered by the weather station above the coffeepot this morning I was struck by the 6am temperature...68°! Now, the question that raises is; did I…
While I have only experienced temperatures of this nature once in my life, I do remember being surprised at the time that the cold didn't feel that cold...Of course, that was Colorado. The only time I've seen temperatures in the teens around here it's felt very, very cold...I guess that's…
I have a question for ya...Why is it that real restaurant coffee cups hold the heat so much better than the coffee cups you get everywhere else? Ever since we came back from vacation with a couple of Blue Ridge Restaurant coffee cups from Floyd Virginia both Sherry and I…

It's not quite sunup outside and I've made it through my email and the necessary blogs before work. I've been playing with Twitter a bit over the past few days but I'm still not quite sure why. It seems like broadcast IM and I never saw the real reason for…
"New Year's Day--Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.~ Mark Twain I went to bed early last evening and slept late on this new years morning (unlike Fred). I thought I'd get up and…
This morning is glowing...The light outside is golden. I would be outside trying to capture a remembrance except the temperature is at 40° and the humidity is 88%. Too cold by far for the shorts and long sleeve "t-shirt" I am wearing. I don't know if it means anything, but…
