The Grand Canyon dwarfs the people in this picture. Those cliffs are very high, and you wouldn't want to fall into the canyon. But if you see the Grand Canyon from an airplane, it looks pretty small. And those people would totally disappear. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/scale-2/

Retired, well-educated Purchasing professional in aerospace field. I discovered Rush Limbaugh in 2001, and spoke to him on the radio in 2005. I mourn his passing every day. My husband and I both lost our employment due to the Government response to the Wuhan Coronavirus; I despise the Health Nazis who are ruining my country. We are endowing a scholarship at Hillsdale College, the last bastion of Liberty in America.
Thoughts on My Fiftieth (yes, that’s 50th)
That would be my 50th High School Class Reunion, held this weekend. A variety of activities were planned, including a golf outing on Friday, a tour of the school and drinks at a local watering hole Friday afternoon, and a big dinner Saturday night. I have to say that I was one of a class …
Photo Challenge…Pedestrian
Most people drive or cycle through cities these days. From the window of a car, or the seat of a bicycle, you can miss the details that only a pedestrian, walking along at a slow pace, can see. On our walk through Uptown Port Townsend, I caught these details that might have been overlooked from …
Just Who are the Haters?
Hubby and I spent the afternoon yesterday in the town of Port Townsend, on the Olympic Peninsula, collecting on the last of the Jazz package we bought at an auction (dinner at the Hanazono Asian Noodle House). Before dinner, we walked up what seemed like 1,000 steps to check out the Uptown neighborhood. Walking down …
What Happened…(NOT Hillary the Harpy’s book, and no blame!)
The week after Labor Day, Hubby and I drove to Montana for a Ricochet Meetup, attended by members from as far away as New York City. You can read my three-part trip report on the Ricochet Main Feed Here: https://ricochet.com/456036/we-met-em-in-montana-part-one-or-smoke-gets-in-your-eyes/ https://ricochet.com/456276/we-met-em-in-montana-part-two-or-smoke-gets-in-your-eyes-sometimes/ https://ricochet.com/456556/we-met-em-in-montana-part-three-in-search-of-skies/ We returned to Everett the following Tuesday, and it was back to work …

Seen through a window…at 60 miles per hour!
I have gotten pretty good at taking photos from the passenger-side windows of our car. On our way to Montana and back, I shot these photos from the moving vehicle-I really wanted my friends to see what the air quality was, as a result of the wildfires in Montana and Eastern Washington. This was just …

The Road Trip From Hell
At least, that's how I thought of it at the time, and for a long time thereafter. The year was 1971. I had just graduated from Washington State University with a degree in Psychology. I had applied to graduate school, and had been accepted at the University of Minnesota. So, how was I supposed to …
A New Photo Challenge: Layered
Hubby and I spent the week after Labor Day in Bigfork, Montana, at a Ricochet meet up that had been planned for over a year. There was no way we could have predicted that most of Washington, Idaho, and Montana would be shrouded in smoke from multiple wildfires in Eastern Washington and Montana. When we …
Photo Challenge…….Waiting
Kikyo is looking up through the clerestory window high up in the east wall of our family room. She sat like that for 15 minutes without moving a muscle, waiting for a bird to appear in the vine maple tree just outside the window. One never did. Waiting in vain. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/waiting-2017/
On This Labor Day…Proudly Working and Supporting Myself at Age 68
Today is a holiday for me. At age 68 (two years past my full retirement age of 66), I am working full-time (actually, more than full-time with all the overtime I put in), at a job I love, and with a side interest for my professional association. As a Planner/Buyer for an aerospace company, my …
