Popped down to Stonehenge to see the stones, this was my first time. They are amazing to see. My only moan is the fact that you are not allowed to touch them!!, was gutted about that. Chatted to a few folks here who said the same thing. One chap even suggested that English Heritage had put landmines around here and were planning on installing a machine gun post! I of course, do not believe that (the machine gun post)
Stonehenge
is probably the one of the most important prehistoric monuments in the
whole of the British Isles and it has attracted visitors from earliest times. It stands as a monument to the people who built it.
The stonehenge that we see today is the final stage that was completed about 3500 years ago, but first let us look back appox 5000 years.
The First Stage
The first Stonehenge was a large earthwork or Henge, comprising a ditch, bank, and the Aubrey holes, all possibly built around 3100 BC. The Aubrey holes are round pits in the chalk, about one metre wide and deep, they have steep sides and flat bottoms. They form a circle about 284 feet in diameter. Excavations have revealed cremated human bones in some of the chalk filling, but the holes themselves were probably made, not for the purpose of graves, but as part of a religious ceremony. Shortly after this stage Stonehenge was abandoned and left untouched for over 1000 years!
Second Stage
The second and most dramatic stage of Stonehenge started around 2150 BC. Some 82 bluestones from the Preseli mountains, in south-west Wales were transported to the site. It is thought these stones, some weighing 4 tonnes each were possibly dragged on rollers and sledges to the headwaters on Milford Haven and then loaded onto rafts. They were carried by water along the south coast of Wales and up the rivers Avon and Frome, before being dragged overland again to near Warminster in Wiltshire. The final stage of the journey was mainly by water, down the river Wylye to Salisbury, then the Salisbury Avon to west Amesbury.
This astonishing journey covers nearly 240 miles. Once at the site, these stones were set up in the centre to form an incomplete double circle. ( During the same period the original entrance of the circular earthwork was widened and a pair of Heel Stones were erected. Also the nearer part of the Avenue was built, aligned with the midsummer sunrise.)
Third Stage
The third stage of Stonehenge, about 2000 BC, saw the arrival of the Sarsen stones, which were almost certainly brought from the Marlborough Downs near Avebury, in north Wiltshire, about 25 miles north of Stonehenge. The largest of the Sarsen stones transported to Stonehenge weigh 50 tonnes and transportation by water would have been impossible, the stones could only have been moved using sledges and ropes. Modern calculations show that it would have taken 500 men using leather ropes to pull one stone, with an extra 100 men needed to lay the huge rollers in front of the sledge.
These were arranged in an outer circle with a continuous run of lintels. Inside the circle, five trilithons were placed in a horseshoe arrangement, whose remains we can still see today.
Final Stage
The final stage took place soon after 1500 BC when the bluestones were rearranged in the horseshoe and circle that we see today. The original number of stones in the bluestone circle was probably around 60, these have long since been removed or broken up. Some remain only as stumps below ground level.

Long time, no post. It was an absolutely crazy/hellish week but it ended on a really good note. I am moving back to LA next weekend so expect my posts to be few and far between for the next couple of weeks.
I'll be posting daily again soon. Hope you all are doing well!
Second Alarm Brush fire in LACoFD 149's District, N/B 5-Fwy North of Parker Road. The fire started by a motorcycle fire which spread to the brush. LACoFD Copter 16 still alarmed the fire and reported 4-5 acres and ended with approx. 500 acres scorched. Five Helicopters (3 from LACoFD and 2 from LAFD) along with 3 air tankers fought the fire.
Ahhh the bike happening. Bikes have been happening the first Thursday of the month in San Luis Obispo for five years now! Wheee!
Hundreds of silly bikeys converge on our little downtown and we swoop around a couple loops, whoooping like idiots, then get together after for adult beverages and cameraderie.
Meet Seth, local bouncer/bartender/bikey and all round neat fella. He goes all out.
Most of these were taken from the back of a moving tandem built in 1961. Let playtime reign!!

Another weekend, cancelled by poor weather. Did I say poor? Bad weather.
Down here in the south there was strong winds and heavy rain, but north of London snow was more frequent, and many roads in the hills and mountains collapsed.
An embankment carrying a canal collapsed in the wet of England, marooning boats on mudbanks or silt, and flooding the countryside for miles around.
It got worse as you went north, but some of us stayed inside. I did, as my cold which appeared to have gotten better on Saturday, returned in the middle of the night, wrecking any chances of a good night's sleep.
So when Jools went to see Jen, I stayed here in case I had caught something new and infectious, so I wouldn't pass it on.
There was little to do, as outside rain hammered down and wind lashed the house. Again. It is that time of year, I guess.
There was football during the afternoon, of course. Fulham pulled a late goal back to draw with Ipswich, wile the expected avalanche of goals by Liverpool against Man Utd failed to happen, and Utd were the better team.
That ended 2-2 as well.
Cheese and crackers for supper, and listen to the radio before another early night.
Rock and roll.
