No matter how long you stay in Yosemite National Park it is never enough, and that was surely the case when my wife and I spent an all too short weekend there just before the official end of Winter. During some almost Summer-like conditions, we enjoyed seeing the falls flowing well (that won't last long thanks to California's drought), and basked in the light of the full moon as it cast its magical glow over the valley. Refreshed and re-invigorated by a day in natures glory, on the second day we hiked up to the top of Vernal Fall to take in the majestic sights that the John Muir and Mist Trails had to offer before reluctantly coming home.

I did this with my daughter for an "Images of Physics" project.
She wanted to capture an image with the states of matter. So we chose water and we were able to get the solid, liquid and gas states. Plasma and Bose-Einstein condensation were difficult to get at this time.
We need to choose one picture from this set.
Which one do you like?

Protestors at Marin County's Statue of Sir Francis Drake
June 17, 2020
Black Lives Matter protestors, Coast Miwok Indigenous people, youth and grandmothers, rallied Wednesday at the Marin County statue of Sir Francis Drake, calling for the removal of the statue and the renaming of Sir Francis Drake Blvd. Following the rally, protestors poured into Sir Francis Drake Blvd, blocking traffic in both directions and forcing police to redirect traffic to and from the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. Many of the protestors then marched towards the bridge and stopped at the Highway Patrol blockade at the onramp, where they took a knee to honor George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and all those who had been killed by police and systems of racist oppression.
Sir Francis Drake was an English explorer who circumnavigated the globe, was a privateer and pirate, and is believed to have landed in what is now known as Drake's Bay in the Point Reyes National Seashore. He was also a slave trader and played a central role in England's initial involvement in the slave trade. The statue that is associated with him stands across the channel from the Larkspur Ferry terminal in Marin County, California. Sir Francis Drake Blvd is the main thoroughfare connecting east and west Marin County.

I want you to think about someone right now. Not your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife... Think of someone who is like a brother, sister, uncle, aunt or even your parents - mum or dad. or a friend or a MATE of yours. It has to be someone that ticks the following boxes...
- You LOVE and TREASURE them
- You VALUE and RESPECT them
- You would PROTECT them and put yourself in the way of harm for them.
For me, right now...it's my great grandma who looked after me when I was only a toddler... Been thinking about her lately. She's from my mother's side, my grandmother's aunt. She never married and as long as I know has always been single.
So...imagine that person that you're thinking about comes to you saying: "I'm going through something right now. I love you and I need your support" and your response to that is "I love EVERYONE. Everyone matters to me. I'm here to support everyone that needs my help. You are important to me like everyone is" . How do you think they are going to feel? Do you think they are going to feel loved and treasured? Do you think they are going to feel valued and respected? Do you think they will feel protected?
If I said that to my grandma, which, by the way, would have never happened ...I think she'd not only be disappointed but she'd actually be hurt. Grandma died when I was 8 or 9 years old. She was 71. I wish I could talk to her now that I am an adult. I never had the chance to talk to her as an adult. There are a few things I would want to ask her.
Logically, with reasoning at an INTELLECTUAL LEVEL, we can all agree that obviously and without any doubt ALL LIVES MATTER.... But on an EMOTIONAL LEVEL, when a BLACK man (regardless of what kind of human being he was) dies because he was killed by a cop on a video that was shot from a phone on the street, AT THAT MOMENT (when it was all over the media)...I think it is safe to say that BLACK LIVES MATTER.
Chances are...well actually...it's HIGHLY LIKELY that I am MUCH MORE CONSERVATIVE than you...and yet I am saying BLACK LIVES MATTER.
I waited for a bit before posting anything about this. I didn't want to jump to the LOGICAL and OBVIOUS conclusions. I think people have different experiences which need to be respected.
If you're going through something hard in your life right now. I got something for you. I don't normally share CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) which is a sub-genre of rock music... I'm more into hymns and "well-established" songs but I enjoyed this song because of the piano and the build up to the chorus. It was originally written by Sinach - a Nigerian singer - a BLACK woman. From what I understand it has become quite "established" now given the fact that it has been performed by multiple artists and churches. This is my favourite version of the song, it's by Leeland, and it's called "Waymaker". See link below. Enjoy!

This Place Matters
Austin loves our grandparents house because he has many memories of coming up from Iowa City for holidays like Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, and New Years. His favorite part about coming up for Christmas is playing a game called White Elephant. White Elephant is a game where everyone brings a gift and then draws a number. The number you get is the order you pick your gift. When playing this game you never know what you are going to get. He also likes riding my four-wheelers around in the snow and sometimes we will pull a sled behind.
When the family gets together for Easter Austin usually puts together a scavenger hunt that the rest of the family walks around and tries to find where he hid the clues and figure out what they mean. His two favorite parts of Easter are the candy and the Easter dinner. He loves the Easter dinner because one of our neighbors always makes homemade rolls which are the best rolls I’ve ever had.
He likes coming up for New Years because he likes spending time with the family, even though the adults go off and leave the kids alone. His best memory of New Years was when it was just him, his sister, and me and we had a popcorn fight and our parents came back to a house covered in popcorn.
Austin loves to eat and that’s why he loves Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving at our grandparents’ house is always really fun and there’s always a lot of food. Again the best thing to eat is the homemade rolls that our neighbor makes, but he also really loves eating the pie. His favorite is apple pie.
These are just a few of the reasons that our grandparent’s house matters to Austin.
