they were flying over the ferry from Hatteras to Ocracoke on the Outer Banks back in 2002. I photographed all the lighthouses from Currituck to Bald Head

you know, I seemed to remember you love red roses, so my 1st post today was for you, but I forgot to say that.

hands & wrists still painful, but that's a chronic thing. I can sit in a chair for today's work. tomorrow is trash service so the yard waste bins, mine & theirs, will be emptied & I'll refill them. Friday I'm going to take pics at a local waterfall & creek, I hope. thanks for asking, Joanie.

I can't imagine. when the judge introduced the members of the court, she concluded with a list of witnesses who would be testifying & they were all prosecution witnesses. no one for the defendant. if your ex-husband would be on the fence about it, then ex is the right status for him.

I would have been highly biased anyway. it was a criminal case for possession of child porn by a person with a prior conviction for the same offense.

Clear Creek is the primary source of water for Whiskeytown Lake. it begins high up in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest about half way between Hwy 3 & Hwy 5. its headwaters start due east from Trinity Center, CA which is on the west side of Trinity Lake. Whiskeytown Lake is the boundary between Upper Clear Creek & Lower Clear Creek with the gorge area located along Clear Creek Road in SW Redding. low water in the summer makes for great swimming holes through the gorge & is very popular with local residents.
