Rainbow / Equinox Coming

Quick little storm this afternoon, complete with a low rainbow.


And,


Yesterday, cleaning up some timbers, I decided to store them upright in a line pointing to the place on Lake Mountain where the sun goes down on June 21st.

Here's what it looks like.

Trip to Circle on the Yukon
















I did an overnight bike tour out the Steese highway to Circle on Friday and Saturday here are some pictures. Look for the hidden owl, moose, and Ingrid. (There are river otters in one of the pictures too but I don't think you'll be able to see them). I was charged by a moose at 2am but I had my bear-spray handy and it turned away. Four owls screeched all night--one time landing 10 feet away from me. I turned back before Circle--too many trucks up the road for the first week of the moose hunt. A man named Dave Champ who lives in a broken down schoolbus gave me water on the trip back.

Ash and I at the Bonneville Salt flats on our way home from San Francisco. That darling little hairy guy is named Goose - greatest traveler in the world. (No offense Perky, but you just don't
have the experience) (No offense either to you Blue, you're too big for your own good, it hurts when you sit on the driver's lap and it's quite unsafe)















Sexy if you ask me.
Salt flats do something
to the skin.















We stopped at a graveyard to eat some lunch and play frisbee. Goose was enjoying his meal
so much we decided to join his style and drop the spoons.




















Great photo of JJ and the L.A. temple.

Oh yeah, and Shandon Miles Gubler and his new wife.















We are going to blow this one up big and give it to them on their first anniversary.

Longboarding = Crime


I was on my way to psychology from the financial aid office, it was a sunny day, I was listening to Sufjan Stevens, just leisurely boarding along, when I noticed a police car. I thought to myself, when was the last time I got pulled over? Hmmm two days ago, for my cracked windshield and not stopping for a pedestrian, my bad dad :). The only way I got out of a ticket for both, was that earlier that day I ran into Police Chief Brewer, my old scout master, and his cop friend, who turned out to be the guy who pulled me over. I got off with a warning that time. I thought all of this as I notice the cop rolling down his window, I turn off my ipod just in time to hear him say, "Can I talk to you for a minute?" I thought, oh no, i did something wrong. I lean my head down so I can see the cop, and guess who it is? The exact same cop who I saw with the chief, and the one who pulled me over. He asked me if I knew that there was no skateboarding on campus, I said no, truthfully. He told me that it was and that I was skateboarding where I shouldn't be. I wanted to correct him and tell him that I was longboarding, not skateboarding, but I thought that it wouldn't go over well. He asked for my name and birthday to check if I had any warrants. Of course I didn't. He then got a call from Police chief Brewer asking him why he was giving me trouble again. After 20 minutes of him checking my record and the phone call and him talking to me about continuing my education, he sent me on my way. Personally I don't see why I can't longborad around campus, but those are the rules. That is the first thing I have disagreed with since I got here, but we will see if we can get that changed. I am also trying to get some foursquare down here too. The white rhino will become intercollegiat!!!

We watched this in my world music class today, pretty cool.
