Everytime I go to Backbone I find something old and something new. This was Iowa's first state park and a destination I visit as often as I can.

Scott, Holly & David Meads (ES&S) ensure that all the equipment at each precinct functions properly.
A driftwood and stone fence on Hokitika Beach. I think this was part of Driftwood and Sand, an annual event where people go to the beach and create sculptures from flotsam and jetsam. Very fun.

I didn't actually take this, because i was super comfy and didn't want to get up to take the picture. Also it would have been kind of hard as i had several people on me :D
After Bryce and before the Grand Canyon I went to Escalante and the Grand Staircase. NE of Bryce there was much to see but always a long way to travel to see it
This is the Devil's Backbone, so named because the mountain range protrudes like veins in a leaf from a central ridge, or like the ribs from a backbone.

i'm sure several of my friends would agree with the title ;-)
so this is bad news for me... i kind of lucked into having my bone density checked... a few years ago i had to take prednisone for what turned out to be a food allergy to dairy... prednisone can cause bone loss so i had a bone density test... it wasn't very good... but typical for someone taking prednisone... so we figured out the food allergy... & i haven't taken prednisone for 2 years... now my bone density has nose dived 6% in one year... i'm in the likely to fracture category... now this is despite walking/running 5-6 miles per day and 200-300 push ups per day...
its now clear that the bone loss is just me... my mom has a problem with it... and its fairly typical for light haired, light eyed, very white folks like me... i mean i'm glad they found the problem... and all isn't lost... i started boniva yesterday and a ton of calcium per day... they also did about a 1000 tests on me friday... i'm hoping they'll prescribe testosterone and human growth hormones... if they do, i'll consider an infield position in major league baseball or possibly a spot in the tour de france ;-)
oh yeah... no cycling until i get my bone density back up...

This image is of a pericyte, a specialised cell that wraps around blood vessels. The red lines running along the length of the perticyte are actin fibres, providing strength to the cell like a skeleton.
The green dots are receptor proteins. These are essential for the pericytes to interact with their environment. The scientists hope to discover how pericytes behave during inflammation. Inflammation is a key part of the processes that happen during heart disease.
