Lovely Wyoming views...
working your way back east I guess. This is a big beautiful country. Thanks for sharing some of it with us. Thanks for the Coleman cuts too!
Different perspectives:
and another way to see us:
I reckon the trick is looking at the good while seeing the bad. All the best on your trip home, Joe!

New Mexico is anti-social? Really?
Poorest state - check. Least educated people - check. Lots of minorities - check. Anti-social? Not what I hear, then again, I better check myself out! Maybe I AM anti-social after all!

Hey RA
Not what I think about NM either. As to Alabama there are better descriptors than stroke...well maybe that's what happens to people that visit here. They have a stroke!

The On The Bean 78 - it's on the Joe Davis label
and was the first session Thelonious Monk played on. The first recordings of Monk - historic.
Monk was grateful and when Thelonious was on Riverside 10 years later he hired Coleman Hawkins to play on an album.

Some PIC contractor is just rubbing his hands with glee.
I'm sure they will find a way to have the courts conveniently closed or otherwise unable to process arrestees until the convention is over.
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
It is long (1:15) but well worth watching.
At about 1:05 in a discussion about HRC's emails, Dickerson notes (paraphrased) that the excuse of other government officials using private emails is like running a stop light and what HRC did was like running every stoplight between here and Chicago.

They cover a lot of topics, and while I don't agree with some of the conclusions, I did find some good reminders and some enlightenment on others.

Remember Brent Scowcroft?
Brent Scowcroft, a national security adviser to former Presidents Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush, endorsed Democrat Hillary Clinton's campaign for the White House on Wednesday.
When can we expect Henry Kissinger to endorse Hillary?
"We've done the impossible, and that makes us mighty."
I thought he already did.
She sure endorsed HIM during the debates!!!

Thanks, RMW for posting this--now I don't need to. ;-D Joe,
thanks for tonight's tunes and gorgeous photos! Especially enjoy the photo of the cow (or calf--looks a little small to me), since it reminds me of Alaska!
Oh, heard on XM POTUS Channel that FSC has already announced her plans to push through infrastructure legislation, within her first one hundred days in office. (Found a CNN piece which substantiates this--will post it when I'm not quite so pushed for time. She brought this up while campaigning in California, apparently.)
Of course, as the XM Radio show host noted--Repubs will want something in return, as spending offsets.
Wonder what it might be? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . . .
Hey, look forward to seeing more pics. Have fun, and stay safe.

Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong.
Thanks for the photos, joe
When I was in my 20's, my friends and I used to go to Jackson and the Tetons and the many lakes for the weekend.
I don't remember spending a weekend at home because we always went somewhere. During the week, we would go night skiing until 2 am and then work the next day. Ah, youth
Too bad we had to grow up and start having families and the number of trips went down.
My family went to Jackson lake for vacation and there was an incredible thunder and lightening storm that lit up the Tetons.
When are you coming home?
There were problems with running a campaign of Joy while committing a genocide? Who could have guessed?

Evening, joe
and everyone.
Glad to see you're on another cross country road trip. Pics are awesome.
It's pretty crazy back here. I just wtf every day.
For those Game of Thrones fans
That was a great battle
And I loved the way Ramsey was killed by his own dogs
But I hate plot holes. Why did Rickon run in a straight line? I'd he would have zinged and zagged his chances of being hit would have gone down.
I listened to the books after the first three were written and gave up on book four when Martin added new characters and didn't pick up after the red wedding. Plus they changed the narrator who changed how people's names wer pronounced.
I'm relistening to them because I can't follow where the show is going.

Drive safe, Joe
Road weariness is tough. Sleep with wheels still rumbling underneath the bed is not restful.
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
