Looking good
The Grand Canyon National Park begins near Lee's Ferry, AZ with the Colorado River then flowing through Marble Canyon (300 foot walls) and then on down to the wide expanse of the Grand Canyon itself. Then the Colorado River flows out through canyon walls that are 3000 feet high. Toroweap Overlook is the site of this picture within that latter canyon. This image is looking downriver from the Overlook area. That section of black rock is actually a former lava flow from a nearby cinder cone called "Vulcan's Throne." The rapids seen in the picture are a result of lava, and those are considered one of the most difficult rapids to navigate.
When researching to make the 61 mile trip on gravel roads to the overlook, it was advised to have a 12V air compressor and some "tire plugs" just in case of a tire being punctured by some of the gravel. In reality, I didn't find the road to be that bad, and we didn't have any tire issues. However, I still carry that 12V compressor, even when we are working our Summer jobs.

Jury duty is way down on the list of things I want to do today, and I’m #11.
Well, even sitting in the #11 seat, they really didn’t want me. I’m out.Jury duty is way down on the list of things I want to do today, and I’m #11.
Pro tip…In a harassment case between a husband and wife, if you tell the prosecutor that you’ll have a hard time making a decision because you believe there are probably three sides to the story (his side, her side, and the truth somewhere in the middle), there’s a good chance you won’t get picked for the jury.

Hahaha! I say that ALL the time!
Truth is they don't even bother with me -- once they learned I was a paralegal for 25-30 years and I'm married to a JBT they have me ESCORTED OUT ...
Saw an interesting article a couple of days ago. What states have the largest deer population. Okla was #15 with estimated 750,000. Rhode Island was the smallest number and Texas the largest with over 5 million.
In 2008, the wife, youngest son, and I drove up towards Springdale, AR and took Highway 71 down towards Mena for the Fall colors. The second day, we drove the Talimena Drive and headed back home. This shot was taken along Highway 71. Oddly enough, the best colors we saw was at Natural Falls State Park off of Highway 412 east of Tulsa.
In one sense, the Talimena Drive was disappointing because it was cloudy and the colors weren't showing very well.

Got up this morning to find water on the floor under the refrigerator. I opened it, and all the settings lights were out. I unplugged it and plugged it back in, and it started working again…sort of. I’ve already moved all the frozen food to the outside freezers, and I think the fridge part will stay cool enough to not spoil anything.
This unit is just over 5 years old, and this is the second time it’s given us a problem. I haven’t got ahold of a repairman yet, but I’m sure being Friday that he won’t be able to get a part (if needed) until next week.

That ain’t good. Better start eating….a lot.
