Picspam post! 

As you may know, our house was furnished and decorated by Good Intentions, Inc., the same firm that did such a fabulous job on the road to Hell. We have been sorting and cleaning up in piecemeal fashion for a long time now, but planning to do a BIG fix-up RealSoonNow. Well, the time has come. We partly got the jumpstart because of spring break, but also, I admit, because my sister Debbie and niece Jenny announced they were making us a stop on Jenny's whirlwind Farewell to the USA Tour.

So that's what I've been doing ever since my cold started to abate last week.

I have several things saved back to post about, but for now I am going to fling on some pics for your enjoyment. It was 79!degrees! out today! So Mike and I went joy-riding and pic taking for a while.

A larger version of this is my entry today for Day On Earth. I shot it along the side of Highway 50 east of town. I chose it because it shows a variety of the old style insulators, a few still in use, with a modern power line in the background.



While I was sitting in the stickery grass beside Dreamcloud, I shot this on a whim, thinking of my son Sterling the trucker.



One of the places we stopped to sightsee and shoot was the coal plant construction site. Mike took a lot there and I didn't want to poach his choice, but I did take one, since our artistic visions always differ.

Despite the bad weather in January and February, they've made progress. Part of the coal feeder thingies are in place, as is a portion of the stack. You can also see the frame for what we think will be the boiler.
