My work start date was to be in late September but was pushed back. That meant my wife and I could get a honeymoon in. The destination was a KOA in East Texas. It turned out to be nicely laid-out; like most such campgrounds the emphasis is RVs but the tent area is separated from … Continue reading Honeymoon!

August 2019 trip post.
I realized I never posted the map of my route. Don't mind the dead-space line; that's where my SPOT unit ran out of battery power. It was a great trip.
San Francisco, Summer 2018
Golden Gate Bridge, looking up between a set of suspender cables. Also caught a jetliner at the middle of the left edge. The only edit is resizing; B&W was accomplished in camera. I sat on these images for a while. The trip was with a the people with whom I was in a live-in triad, … Continue reading San Francisco, Summer 2018

Had a morning free
Did some tourist things in downtown St Louis before the conference. My morning in photos...
Day two, and the end of the first leg.
A peaceful morning arrived. I hadn't slept well; probably need something better than that bed pad, plus there was distant but loud noise, possibly port operations or a pipeline manufacturer nearby.
