These two are so cute together--especially if Poppy changes out of her party dress!
From my blog review: toyboxphilosopher.blogspot.com/2012/05/review-of-poppy-pa...
I'm not a fan of Harleys (if you haven't guessed by now). But I have to admit, they do look more "classic CHP" than the Beemers or Kawis. So nostalgic in fact, that I decided to title it like the old TV show, with the letter "i" in the title.
I have this photo in both color and B&W, but I personally like this one better in B&W.
On the south side of Jackson, WY lies Snow King ski area. It is 400 acres big, with a vertical rise of 1571' and the elevation at the top of the mountain is 7808'. "the King" is located in the Bridger Teton National Forest as is most of the land on its backside and all the land to the east. From sunup to sundown and year round locals and vistors hike up the King, its kind of a vertical park. In the surrounding area adjacent to Snow King are a myriad of trails that are used for hiking, running, mountain biking and horseback riding. This is a popular recreation area.
On 9/8/12 a forest fire broke out a few miles south of Jackson in Little Horsethief Canyon. The fire went from 400 acres to 3300 acres in 48 hours. The neighborhoods on the east side of Jackson were put on evacuation advisory while smoke plumed over the top of the King. It took over 2 weeks, 2 helicopters, 4 fire engines and 245 personnel at a cost of 8 million dollars to extinguish the fire.
What does this story have to do with my 100 Strangers Project?
I'm honored to introduce you to Chip Gerdin. He works for the Bridger Teton National Forest and was the Incident Commander on the Little Horsethief Canyon fire. I met Chip while walking up Snow King this afternoon. He was on his way to survey the area as he still has staff in the field putting out the last remnants of the fire.
Chip fights forest fires 8 month's of the year and works on his family's farm in Minnesota during the winter.
I want to thank Chip not just for letting me take his picture but for working most of the last 19 days to put out the fire that started in Little Horsethief canyon and spread through an area that many of us call home. Thanks Chip!

If I were to play somebody who ran a fish and chip shop, I would not work in a fish and chip shop for three months. Staring at chips is not going to help me in my performance.

The 2017 Dax Shepard comedy "CHIPS" was filmed using locations all over the greater Los Angeles area.
This private residence served as a home of a fallen officer. This location is at 4224 W Mt Vernon Dr, Los Angeles.
In the 1920s ,R.V. Dancey and Ernest Nicolay, who worked building cars at a plant in Detroit, quit their jobs, purchased some old chip manufacturing equipment and started making potato chips. Their brand of potato chips was called New Era.
The two formed the Nicolay Dancey Co. shortly after as their business picked up around the Detroit area, and eventually spread to the Midwest.
In 1951 the Nicolay Dancy Company produced the New Era Potato Chips, touted as a newer and healthier version of the potato chip.
At the time that Nicolay Dancy produced the New Era Potato Chip, there was fierce demand and competition among chip makers to produce this tasty,salty delight. New Era’s tactic was to promote the chip as a healthy food on the alkaline side, although I have no idea why alkalinity was thought to equal healthful. New Era backed up this claim with “science says so.” Otherwise-sensible consumers believed it to be true. Straight from the can, because potato chips didn’t always come in crinkly bags, here’s the scientific claim:
Chemical analysis have proven New Era Potato Chips to be a highly concentrated, energy-producing food, 95% digestible, and of greater alkalinity than even fresh, raw potatoes. Feast without fear!
At the time, the FDA did not wield as much oversight of the food industry as it does today, so apparently New Era could get away with their healthy claims. So what was the secret to New Era’s healthfulness as an energy-producing food? The secret is revealed, right on the front of the can: “…processed in hydrogenated vegetable shortening.” Hydrogenated? Didn’t we just ban that a couple of years ago, because hydrogenated oil contains trans fats?
But never mind that. Back then people didn’t care so much about cholesterol. Folks were free to enjoy their healthy potato chips in peace. Consumers trusted the food industry, and New Era chips, with its depiction of slim, active women on the can, were tasty and popular, and thought to be good for you too. And why not? Wouldn’t it be great if today we too could just chill and eat our potato chips, as if they too were scientifically proven to be healthy?
Nicolay Dancey operated plants in Chicago and Detroit, before Frito purchased the company in 1958.
That purchase took place after a horrific fire burned the Nicolay Dancey plant to the ground, in February 1953.
