Last week I took a walk in the woodland bordering my work building. I saw this tree. This worries me. I sincerely hope there is not an Antifa cell inhabiting this area. You can paint over graffiti on a wall, but not on a tree. Evil lurks everywhere these days, and they are getting bolder.
Fragments are parts of things. Sometimes, you can tell what the original thing was, just by looking at the fragment. These pieces of driftwood were once trees. These fragments, all in a row, tell you that once on this beach, there was a dock for boats to tie up. This remnant is probably from the …

This will just be a quickie. On Sunday, as it happens, we took a little road trip up US Highway 20 to North Cascades National Park. It's still pretty early in the year, and the highway isn't fully open yet. But it was open as far as our favorite destination, the Diablo Lake Overlook. We …
