With the National Parks closed due to the Goverment shut down, I am finding it difficult to find public access into the Lake front of the Indiana Dunes national Lakeshore. But close to home Michigan City, the Lake front is still open. A beautiful autumn day. Peace!
I wanted to post some old photos to show people some things that belong to all of us, not just Americans but the world. These places do not belong to the politicians that we vote fore and put in power and our taxes pay for there nice cars and expensive houses. They have forgotten they represent all of us, not just the small portion who share there narrow view of what a person should think and believe in. They are putting more guards to keep the people out than they ever did keeping us and these places safe. Shame on us all for allowing this to happen.

This was taken in the Tom Miner Basin, Paradise Valley, outside of Gardiner, MT. A group of us were planning on a photo shoot in YNP when the government shut down the Park. So you see what else you can find. We explored beautiful areas I probably would not have gone to otherwise. Pretty sure I would not have taken a photo of a cow...

Unlovely Laurel, Maryland Friday October 11, 2013. Here's some of our fellow citizens exercising their First Amendment Rights by prancing about on the Gorman Road bridge over Interstate 95. In a close up you can see that the individual on the right is covering his face with his hand. Why? A surprising number of motorists honked as they passed the banners although the evening rush hour traffic was much lighter than normal due to the ongoing partial government shutdown caused by extremist Republican gangsters in Congress.
Tea baggers, assault weapon fetishists and other far right wing crackpots brandishing signs and flags show up with some frequency at this spot. Today's gathering here (there were similar overpass impeachment events across the USA...) was likely being staged in support of a rolling DC Beltway blockade by neo-facist militia influenced truckers and other actions by "Confederate heritage" goons, all united in advocating for the impeachment (or abdication by force...) of the "muslim president". Those events, widely promoted in disreputable corners of the internet, largely fizzled out. The trucker blockade was quickly dispersed by highway police and the 'johhny rebs' did little more than wave the Confederate flag in front of the White House and at the WWII Memorial on the National Mall. This time.
I empathize somewhat with the truckers. They've always gotten a raw deal and like most of us working folks have almost no friends in high places (certainly not our Disappointer In Chief Barack Obama and his crew...) but they've chosen the wrong target and the wrong solution if they want to make their lives better.
I stopped on the highway shoulder and got out of my Dodge to get the shot you see on this page; I don't recommend that you try this. My parked car was almost hit by an Escalade roaring down the shoulder as it exited from the nearby rest stop.

According to an analysis by IHS Global Insight the government shutdown and loss of productivity by idled Federal workers is costing taxpayers $12,500,000 an hour. After a week of this government shutdown that totals over $2.3 Billion dollars wasted. And there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. USAToday has a cost clock on their website's front page. The longer workers are furloughed, the more it's costing you. I think it's time to get back to work!
The figure for $12.5 Million per hour has been reported by USAToday and NBC News.

I wanted to post some old photos to show people some things that belong to all of us, not just Americans but the world. These places do not belong to the politicians that we vote fore and put in power and our taxes pay for there nice cars and expensive houses. They have forgotten they represent all of us, not just the small portion who share there narrow view of what a person should think and believe in. They are putting more guards to keep the people out than they ever did keeping us and these places safe. Shame on us all for allowing this to happen.
