  1. Venting Part two- the car:(

    First, thank you all for you advice and comfort. Onto part two of this little drama. It seems that the car I'm driving is being repossessed and it must be returned soon. In the next couple of days soon... This wouldn't be an issue if my own vehicle wasn't in Washington still or if there was another vehicle my Mum and Dad could let me borrow. They had the best of intentions on letting me use one, but the cars are broke so they don't have one to loan.

    Sooooo, onto plan B for the ...

Today was my day of rest, the first one in the week but not the last (Friday is my second day of rest ). Yesterday went quite well.

  4. Yosemite in Winter

    Thought I'd show some pictures from my recent trip to Yosemite National Park. I went there for a weekend shortly before I left California last week. It is, in my opinion, the most beautiful place on earth. My family stays there for a week every summer, but I've never been there in the winter. It was indescribably beautiful, and one of the most vivid experiences of my life walking around the snow filled valley with the immense cliffs rising up on every side. Being in that place is like a deep ...

    Chapter 6 -- Camping out

    It was late in August, and very warm and humid. There had been the budding of a plan in Anthony's mind which he had kept well trimmed back, much like the way that a bonsai tree's roots are trimmed to affect miniaturization. He now allowed this concept to sprout unmolested. It was a natural progression; the extension of a train of thought which was already gaining much momentum.
