This is the end of trail rides in Yosemite Valley and Tuolumne Meadows.
The loop trips in the High Sierra camps will be allowed to continue, however.

Here, Mouse, thank you for the dancers and for the butterfly. The butterfly reminded me . . .
Origin of ENTOMOLOGY
French entomologie, from Greek entomon insect (from neuter of entomos cut up, from en- + temnein to cut) + French -logie -logy — more at tome
First Known Use: 1766
Be well.

Some time ago I used to run Mulholland Drive. Various routes.
Never saw one celebrity, not even donini. Did see some tree people and the aftermath of some nasty accidents.

L.A. is not all concrete and blacktop. Just mostly. Hollywood Bowl there in the middle. Saw some good shows there: Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Jazz Festival, Beach Boys, Maria Muldaur, Commander Cody. I did see some celebrities in the audience.

Been meaning to give you a call.
Tomatoes, potatoes, I'm a jerk, now.

Nah.
How odd, Gnome. I walked out to the store and went to the BofA to check my balance first. I was kinda woozy, not enough air, too much phlegm, just over 100 degree heat. But I did not falter. I managed.
In the parking lot I was nearly impressed by a much newer 'vette, same color, too; but the ding-a-ling tromped on the gas and did a fast U-turn into a parking slot simply because he could, there being not a single car parked there. I hadda yell out, a la RATSO RIZZO, "Hey, I'm walkin' here!"
And I hocked up that gob of phlegm and let fly at him. It landed two feet from his passenger door. I coulda hit his windshield easy-peasey.
Fatheads abound, eh?

That little waterfall looks so inviting.
I know a place on the S. Fork of the Tuolumne, an easy short hike, with a cold-water spa and a small riverside glen perfect for rolling around with the love of your life.
It's near Sunset Inn, so it got torched in the Rim fire, I'm fairly certain.
That day on my honeymoon is one of the most perfect memories I retain.
It is amazin' to me, now, to realize it's been twenty-five years this November.

Some of you might really enjoy the Ag Museum's collection of old shizz.
Charlie's never around the Ag Museum when I go by there. There is a sign on the door, though, with his phone number.
It's between Merced and Planada on Hwy 140.
I have his number here somewhere, but not sure what I did with it.
