Back to old blog.

I am back to my old blog, electronegativity.blogspot.com

I hope to make some drastic changes but there are afew new posts.

Ooops

I usually like to tell you when I photoshop a picture...and I forgot. The tree picture (BW) below was photoshop to try to soften the edges.

We are back.

We decided to drive straight back yesterday so we could enjoy today at home. The trip was great, good weather, and good things to see.We started at "The Dune Climb" which is a natural sand dune that is about 200 feet tall. That does not sound that high until you try to walk up it. It was tough, although Jake seemed to enjoy it.



On the way down I decided to try to run and skip my way down, proceeded to go too fast, tried to slide, slide turned into a roll...slightly out of control but fun. The two pictures below show the start of the slide and the end of the roll.





After the climb we went on a scenic drive and did some hiking. Here are some pictures we took during the hiking and drive.






We then went back to the camp and ate and slept. We got up pretty early and hiked/drove most of the day. All I can say is the word "sand". Apparently this part of the earth is nothing but sand. We went to Lake Michigan and Glenn Lake. Jake loved both. The water was crystal clear and blue...awesome. Jake and I waded out into Glenn Lake about 150 yeards on a sand key, it was cool.



It took Jake a few minutes to get use to the waves but once he did he was all business. Although I took the growling to mean he did not like me holding him in the water.

We took a lot of pictures from the trails and I will not show them all here but here is an awesome picture from the Boss.






Ok, I have to take a second to commend the Boss on her patience and bravery. It was late in the evening and I wanted to take a picture of the sunset across the lake. We were not prepared (i.e. no water, no light...) for a hike. And, we have seen several warnings about how active the cougars were in the area. But, she hiked anyways, she voiced her concerns but did it. It was a little tougher of a hike than we anticipated but, we got some good pictures, I least I think they are good.



Messing with the camera's white balance:



There are more pictures I want to post, but, I do not want the post to get too long. Thanks to Ruth, Chuck, and Maggie for letting us use the truck, made the trip sooo much better.

In Michigan

Hey everyone, we are in Michigam having fun. The trip wan't bad, we broke it up into two days. Right now the Boss is showering so I thought I would drop in just for a minute. It is a cool ecology unlinke any I have seen in Ohio. I hope to post some picture tonight.

The Onion

I have been enjoying The Onion for a while. They are great. I would suggest anyone to watch the videos, silly, but great.

The hour glass slowly drains...

As people walk through the maze of life they often travel without thought, unaware of the rights and lefts they make. Never stopping to notice the gentle curves in the wall that surrounds them. Everything becomes routine, they sleep as they wake and live in their dreams as they sleep. Slowly quieting those dreams over a warm cup of coffee. This is the accepted way of life… a dull mindless pull towards normality. It is not only accepted but it has become the desire of most men. But…not all men travel this path…there are some that long for adventure…some that dream with eyes wide open.

Through the ages these men have carried the burden of lighting a different path. Society often scoffs at them, ridicules they credibility, attacking every aspect of their life. We as a whole are often fearful of them, wanted nothing more than to quiet their shouts. They live with names such as antagonist, rebel, fool…here they are called warriors…

With each day the time draws nearer…

Dan?..?..????
