Here's a recent smile picture. I'm with my Granddaughter and Son in Law...

The faintiest of smiles..

That's my Mona Lisa smile.

Great scenery where you were at, btw.

That's Washington Pass, but I'm headed towards my favorite small town in America. Lander, Wyoming.

Don't forget to take some pics when you get there. I love small towns.

I live in a small town, which is next to another, smaller town. They literally have one intersection and if you blink, you're through the town. The name? Yoe. IANMTU.

Are you a pro climber? Beautiful scenery, btw.

Fucking incredible.

This is the mid-point in my annual Door County vacation, and, as is customary, Dad and I go down to Sturgeon Bay to have our laundry done. We went shopping to pass the time, mostly antique shops we didn't find anything interesting at, although the new bookstore includes a Joan Didion book and Anne of Green Gables, and the Walmart brought copies of Fury Road, Vice Principals, and a 5 Amp portable charger.

But between the bookstore and the Walmart, I found this:



These four pelicans, and this flock of ducks, were heading into the water as we saw them. Fortunately, they were brave enough to not bolt in the time it took for me to take this pic. I spent a lot of time advancing towards the water, and I headed back as soon as I noticed there actually was a "no trespassing" sign on the shore.

And here's a two-strip Technicolor #hailtritanopia picture of the same scene.

I'm a full time non professional climber. Don't know if you ever heard the term 'dirtbag' before in reference to rock climbers, but that's what I am.

I used to hike and climb quite a bit with a group based in India, so I know several 'dirtbag' climbers, and I greatly admire the dedication and passion it requires. I think some of these people hold national or even world records in mountaineering in the Himalayas, and that way of life fascinates me to no end. 
Have you ever climbed in India?
