I get why he's gone, but I can't help but feel that the team was better with him.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I’d love to explore Wyoming more. That is where my grandmother was from, so it would be great to see more of it.

It ended up being ominous for Portland.

Snapdragon looks ominous tonight.

San Diego FC's playoff run has been messing up my travel plans but it will be worth it if they can win this weekend.

What a meltdown by SDFC. Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Last week I visited the ghost town of Belmont in Nevada, maybe the best preserved ghost town in the state, and a place that is showing signs of new life.

Once Upon a Time in the West, in my opinion, is one of the greatest movies ever made. Claudia Cardinale was a major part of why. RIP.

Came across what I can only guess is Big Boy's British cousin while in Bath. Does anyone know the story behind this guy?

Made it to the other side of that ley line from this week's video, and I'm still not sure about any special energies... Somehow we brought the heat with us, though. Sorry about that England.

I have been advised it is the 50th anniversary of Jaws. That explains that.

This airport gift shop gets an A+ for product placement, but I have to wonder why there are multiple Jaws covers currently on the newsstand in 2025.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

What it looked like crossing the desert between El Centro in Yuma in the 1920s. There was still a wooden plank road across the Algodones Dunes for part of the route until 1926.

Rattlesnakes emerge from viral ‘mega den’ of 2,000 rattlesnakes in Colorado The viral livestream of thousands of rattlesnakes in a secret location in Colorado captured some rattlesnakes starting to appear from their "mega den" again.

This is what I envisioned when I heard of the Yarrow Ravine Rattlesnake Habitat Area.

This is a possibility. Maybe I drove too fast on one go. Sorry everyone!

Wow. It's been awhile since I've felt an earthquake like the one we just had.

This has to be the saddest Smokey Bear poster I've seen.

I’ll have one this week, but that’s it.

Have been in Japan for the last 9 days and while it's been great, I can't wait to get away from the crowds again.

Hope you enjoyed it. It's a fun trip out there and the history of that place is pretty crazy.

I just saw the news that Buc-ees is opening a location in Goodyear, AZ in summer 2026. I still haven't been to one yet, but I guess it wont be too long either way.

#SanDiegoFC

Can't believe it's been 2069 years since Julius Caesar was assassinated. Doesn't seem like that long ago...

Took this picture of the spot it happened in 2023.

Hard to imagine San Diego sports without him. The Padres still seem weird to me without him on the radio and it’s been years.

My thoughts are with the friends and family of Andrew Cross, Desert Drifter. Way too young. RIP.

The University of Arizona in Tucson has a tree that is out of this world. On 1971’s Apollo 14 moon mission, astronaut Stuart Roosa brought over a hundred seeds with him. These seeds orbited the moon, and when they came back to Earth, they were sent all over the world.
