Major Pete Reddan writes a song while leaning on the front tires of a C-17 Globemaster III at Joint Base Charleston, S.C., June 13, 2012. Reddan's military inspired tune, "Off to War", was recently recorded by Nashville recording artist, Brad Anderson. The song was inspired by his experiences during deployments as well as the experiences of the men and women Reddan serves with. Reddan is a 437th Airlift Wing pilot.

What Do Your Shoes Say About You? Apparently:
"Expensive shoes equal a high-income earner.
Flashy footwear show that the wearer is an extrovert.
Practical shoes mean the person is agreeable.
Old but well-kept shoes belong to a conscientious type of person.
Shabby shoes reveal a liberal thinker."
Personally, I don't agree with the above but food for thought.

Two hikers struggle as they travel off-trail on Lassen Peak. Illegal, off-trail travel has created a scar on the south side of Lassen Peak that may never heal.

Rivendell Hunqapillar with Burley Piccolo. I ride my son to school in the morning (~1 mile). He's quite good on his own two-wheeler, but I haven't figured out a safe enough route for us to-be on separate bikes. Maybe come springtime.

I'm not sure how the term "Knock-Off" went from meaning a wheel that needed to have its center lock "Knocked Off" to meaning something that's been copied badly.

"the bird's nest olympic stadium"
taken from my beijing trip last september 2010...i'm randomly posting shots from my travels for the past year.
everyone at that time were so anxious to take photos of this building while the lights were on....i was more anxious when the lights were off. i always wondered how this stadium would look when the lights were turned off....and i was not dissapointed. this building was one of most unforgettable building that i experienced....it was soooooooo huge!!! visiting it was so much different than seeing it on tv and in books!!!

We got a bit of Sad news in the in box this morning. An old Friend of ours passed on last night. The old friend was a dog named Nixon. many an adventure he had, and never spoke a word of. Some on the other hand more than one or 2 of us know.
He was born some time in 1996 and came to be a Friend to us while we were living in the land of California. He was a bundle of fluff and teeth sharp as tacks, with a penchant for tearing the trash can apart and everything in it. many a day he would be sitting there when I got home from the night shift with the mess he had just made stretching from one end of the house to the other with the innocent look puppies can achieve when they have just eaten Christmas dinner.
On leaving California and moving to Montana, he came with us, and stayed for a while here. he seemed to do well here losing fleas, and slowly losing hot spots which he did not really enjoy, but endured with better grace than I do aching joints on stormy days.
He left here and took some time to see Chicago, and then went back to Cali for a short while before finally coming back here to Kalispell.
It was here he spent the years where he had a good family to watch over him, and to watch over and guard while he waited to move on to another place.
While I know he has moved on and is now able to snack on cheese and bacon as he wishes, with no one to tell him no, he is still going to be missed here in this world, at least until we travel on and find him elsewhere waiting for us.
