Hat Creek

On the way back to Laramie from Newcastle, I finally stopped to take a picture of the Hat Creek Station. I've been meaning to stop the past few times I've been up but had managed to be in too much of a hurry or to have forgotten my camera or whatever. This time, no excuses:

I love this place and entertain dreams, every so often, of rescuing it from a slow death and turning it into a roadside cafe. I don't know why I like this place so much, but I do.

The internet is fascinating...your blog comes up BEFORE the official site for Fire in the Sky in my google search. :)
It is hard to find beautiful buildings in WY sometimes; Indiana does have a lot of neat old places. There's a town called Greensburg that has a tree growing out of the domed roof of the county courthouse. I've never heard anyone talk about the Wabash River as beautiful before; every time I saw it, it was a brown, dull, waterway that just interfered with an easy trip into Purdue. When I came to Wyoming, the first thing I noticed was that water moves here. Lots of things to like about both places, I guess.

It seems like Jubilee Days has been around long enough that they'd be able to create a decent web presence by now, but apparently not. Maybe next year...

In the meantime, I'm happy to be #1 on the search results :)

I'm glad you took the time to stop for the photo, Bruder. That's an incredible picture...makes me want to steal it and make a copy to hang on my wall! :)

It's sort of exciting (and relatively rare) for me to find three different frames that I like. Now the hard part is narrowing it down to one. After having asked a couple of the staff at the eye doctor's, my roommate, and Stephanie, an early leader is emerging. But I'm open to other feedback..... Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Comments?

citizens arrest

What are the rules for citizens arrest? Specifically, if there's a girl talking on her cell phone, with half her car windows frosted over, who doesn't wait her turn at the four-way, would I get in trouble if I pulled her out of her car and slapped her with her phone a couple of times? I suppose that doesn't quite count as citizens arrest. Vigilante justice, maybe. Whack, whack! In less aggravating news, tomorrow is the last day of classes for the semester. Finally. It's been a long time comin' this fall. I really should start thinking about the trip to WV and AZ and start planning some Christmas gifty-gifts.

So I'm now going to post a bit about the DEMOLITION DERBY, which actually happened the weekend before my trip out here to CA. Backing up even further: in the few days leading up to the DEMOLITION DERBY, it rained pretty heavily, even producing a bit of flooding. This was bad news for the derby: the cars had a tough, tough time getting much traction in 10 inches of mud. The result: a not very demolishing derby. Slo-mo derby. Cars that were disqualified not because they were intentionally trying to stay out of the action but because they were axle-deep in mud and couldn't make a hit. Lame-oh: nowhere near the fun of DEMOLITION DERBY 2005. I had promised several people that DERBY '07 would be barrels of fun. Instead, we left early. Here's a pic that Kaijsa took of the contestants, though: Annalee said she didn't make it to the derby because of the big rains in the days leading up to the derby. The current of run-off was strong enough, as she was driving home, to rip of
