Could this be the entrance to a cave or just something worn by the force of the water through the centuries? There was only one way to find out and that was to go down this impossibly steep cliff and peer inside. However, even a mountain goat would have a problem doing that and if […]

It’s Hard to Keep My Head On Straight

This morning, a neighbor’s dog woke me at 7:30, barking. Loudly. Continually. He kept at it for thirty-five minutes, non-stop. This is not an unusual occurrence. This happens regularly.
