Happy Festivus!
Let the Airing of Grievances begin!
Camcorder video
This found photo reminded me of how difficult it used to be to record, edit and share video. Only the true geek (or your uncle) carried one of these cameras around. When you did get some video you had to get it off the camera and into that big old desktop computer (SCSI) where you could edit it with really bad software. If you wanted to share it you made the video teeny tiny to keep the file size down. Then all you could do was email it. No place to share. Better than Super8 but just barely.
RP’s 1971 Chevy pickup
Life-long friend Richard Peck (RP) with his 1971 Chevy truck. Almost certainly, at some subconscious level, this kindled the flame of my desire of an old truck. For reasons unknown, RP got rid of his truck. Like snipping off a couple of feet of your soul because you don’t need it anymore.
Glacier National Park
Barb and sister Jan wrapped up their Yellowstone adventure with a run up to Glacier National Park. Her phone is filled with images like these. Postcard views everywhere you look.

Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park
Barb and some of her garden club buddies visited Elephant Rocks State Park and Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park (photos) last week. A good time was had.
On the beach
Barb and Sister Jan are in Destin, FL this week. (It’s been in the mid to upper 90s here in mid-Missouri.) I’d like to know the story on the lone house in the first photo.

It’s the sudden stop
We live a couple miles outside of Jefferson City (MO) on a “no exit” road. This morning someone drove into a utility pole, cutting off access to/from homes. Whole bunch of folks couldn’t get to work… or back to their homes. The people in the house across the road from the accident have a drive that circles around behind their house and back out to the road. They volunteered (or the responders asked) to let folks use their property to get around and out. Good neighbors.
