wooden pipe

This pipe caried irrigation water accross the freemont river west of torrey. It's been replaced by a steel pipe. I wonder if this is the sort of pipe that is still roumoured to be buried in Manhattan's water system.
 

Hummingbird wars

We spent the weekend watching the conflict from our back yard.

What I want to know, is who started it?
 

Trailer life

  

It's July 9th, and we just skied that!

  
  

A short hike in Capitol Reef

  

Happy 4th of July

  

The pink trailer's new coffee table...

...looks remarkably like Wisconsin.

  

Too thin.

Well, we were intending to ski Agassiz, but the snow has melted out.
  

So we worked on our rope skills.
  

Where we're skiing on Sunday

Mount Agassiz.
  

The Cockscomb

  

Feverfew

This herb grows in our garden. It's prolific and blooms all summer. Folks use it to treat migranes, but we just like the flowers. 

Summer perennials are going off

 

Our route on the middle teton

These guys in this photo are climbing the Grand Teton to ski it. From the summit, there is a great view of the route that CJ and I climbed with Mark Newcomb and Mot Gatehouse. Our climbing route is in red, and our ski decent is in blue.

Skiing in the tetons was beautiful

 

The desert flowers are beginning to bloom.

 

We've been eating lettuce from our garden

 

My first votes on a Diebold voting machine

I voted on a dieblod machine today at the state Democratic Party convention. You can see that I voted for Walt Whitman, at least I think that I voted for Walt Whitman, but if a recount is held, they don't look at the boxes with X's in them, they look at the bar code that you see below. You see, there is a paper balot cast, but it is ONLY used in a recount, and then it's the BARCODE that is recounted. By a machine.
