“Nebraska Gateway”

That’s the name of this sculpture at one of Nebraska’s I-80 rest stops. Looks more like “Hammer and Stapler” to me, but what do I know?

This is where I started computer programming, 50 years ago. I’m amazed that I lasted in the industry as long as I did (and not at all sad that I retired a few years ago).

“The Open Road”

Heading up OR 31 towards La Pine. Mount Bachelor and South Sister in the distance.

“Beware!”

I guess the path is safe because rattlesnakes can’t walk?

sign reading "WATCH FOR RATTLESNAKES, STAY ON WALKING PATH"

“Spelling is Hard”

"FUK ICE" sign stapled to a telephone pole

“Rainy Morning”

This little beetle got caught in the same rain shower that was wetting me down. Fortunately I was using a weather-sealed camera.
