“The Long Train”
Another piece of my childhood vanishes. At least I can still make my own split pea soup, which I first ate there many decades ago.
California roadside icon Pea Soup Andersen’s, closed for years, to be demolished
I just barely managed to get a picture of this gray fox before he scooted into the woods. Glad I had a longer lens mounted already!

“Today we saw Elk”
There’s an official elk-viewing station on Hwy 38. Today for the first time the elk were out when we went by. Alas, I didn’t have my long telephoto lens along, but this medium shot is cool enough to post.

“The Blob”
Not sure whether this downtown Eugene structure is meant to be street art or play structure.
Today’s dumbest headline: Trump election commission firings spark interference concerns ahead of midterms
If your concerns are just now getting sparked, you’ve been completely asleep for most of a decade. Election interference is a complete certainty. The only question is to what extent it will succeed (and whether it completely destroys our democracy in the process).
“Good Day in the Woods”
At Waldo Mountain Lookout, 10 miles or so from the trailhead on the other side of the lake.
“Lake Chetlo”
This was undoubtedly more scenic before the Cedar Creek fire. It’s a challenge to get to these days because the trails are largely destroyed.
“Crown Feeds”
Old feed mill in downtown Eugene. I think it’s retail space now.
