It's been a hell of a week.
I surf the 'net a lot. And I do mean a lot. It fills the area in my life most people use for social interaction. I have been noticing an increase in something very annoying. That thing is sound.
An embedded audio player is fine. Just let me decide when it starts playing. Nothing makes me hit the "Back" button faster than sound that starts playing automatically, often before the page has even finished loading. I leave those sites and never return, even if the sound isn't part of the page itself; just one of the ads. I can forgive flashy animations and violently clashing colors, but I consider surfing the 'net to be exclusively a visual experience. I only accept audio when I expect it.
Later,
My parents have moved to Plains, Montana. But Phil is still living at the house in Greybull. I went up for one last hike in Shell Canyon (something I wish I'd done more often).
So here are some pics:
Pfft, we don't need no stinking trail
Me taking a break
Molly taking a break
Me contemplating the next step (seriously, it was about a 6 foot drop)
Cliffs
Phil wanted to take this tree, pot it and claim he grew/sculpted it himself
Looking down into Shell Canyon
A zoom of the cool rock
You can sort of see the parking area
Phil and Molly 
Phil as a measure of scale
Phil said if he were climbing the cliff, this would be a good place to stop and "smoke a bowl"
Vertical shot of water trickling down the cliff. You can see from the washed-out area that in the springtime, this is quite a torrent
I have other pics, but these were the ones that came out best.
Later,
