    Great shots!

    The natural beauty of California is astounding, and not just in a few places and not just of a few kinds -- valleys, canyons, mountains, seashore, bays, magnificent trees, etc.

    But that beauty must do something strange to the minds of inhabitants. I lived there for almost a decade, and I couldn't wait to get back to the East, which has its own set of problems. However, I'll take four seasons and more conventional values, as well as a modicum of frugality, or as I like to call it, "Yankee thrift."

    Well, except with respect to stereo equipment! :)

    Yeah, Mrs. H and I figured out pretty quickly that we weren't Californians!

    Sounds like people are also sick of paying high taxes in California and are moving elsewhere like Texas. Who was it that called California the land of fruits and nuts?

    I tried to take some pictures of the supermoon/eclipse, but most didn't turn out.

    Here are the best I managed to get:

    Quite nice pictures Mark! We had so much cloud cover down here in Houston, couldn't see much at all of the eclipse.

    Just now - bobcat jumped up onto my fence from the open space preserve behind my house. Pretty cool!

    haven't seen "our" bobcat all summer, now that you mention it.
    The one above looks kinda lean -- not sure I'd be pleased to see one that close to the house (although we sometimes get bears that close... yay).

    Babyback ribs turned out pretty darn good today.

    Solid "8.5" from the family panel of judges (and they are tough on me!).

    Best pieces were darn near perfect for smoke, flavor profile, and tenderness.

    Great shots!

    I was hoping -- nay, expecting -- to see some pictures of the lunar eclipse from you.

    Nicely done!

    PS: The odd man out ain't too shabby either! :)
