Near Old Man's Cave
A glimpse down the trail, on a drippingly-humid day, in Hocking Hills, Ohio. Or is it up the trail ... up the creek? Something like that.

RIP September 19, 2014
( some date before)1999 - 2014
This was our house-cat named girly
We're so sad cause she passed away early
She was such a great friend
Too soon came the end
Our girly will be missed so surely

Teen girl sits by ...
Aurora's International Airport. The grassy boxed-in area, I think. Maybe for drones. Then again, maybe not.

Madison, Indiana
Awesome power boats sometimes race here but, on this day, it's a placid afternoon. Here, we're looking upstream towards the bridge over trouble-free water. Methinks the bridge heads over thataway ... meanders toward the Kentucky Speedway. yakyakyak ...

So they dumped her out ...
Me? I'd say, for anyone who dumps an animal out, appropriate punishment would be dumping them out ... while driving ... hmmm ... maybe 60 mph or so? And I'm a *** cough *** liberal. So here's what someone dumped out on our street. She's probably about 6 months old.

St. Rose Church, Ohio River, Cincinnati, Ohio
A few snaps from this evening's visit on the northern shore of the Ohio River, a bit upstream from Cincinnati, Ohio as seen from the parking lot of historic St. Rose Catholic Church.
Three coming, two going.
Towboat, Ohio River, near Cincinnati, Ohio
Pleasure boat
Expensive boat
Sailboat - not too often seen on the river.
A B&B river boat
Chuckie is keeping an eye on me.
He has a couple of cats on his stringer and is going for more.

Remembering ...
Photographs are useful for bringing back memories ... such as the run-on winter we had in 2014. But this winter wasn't as downright godawful nasty as bad as back in 77 - when my fuel oil gelled in the middle of the night because it was about -20 f and the furnace died from fuel starvation. As I recall, the temperature remained * below zero * throughout January. There was also about 20 inches of snow on the ground. Ice on the streets and sidewalks was hard as granite here in the Cincinnati area. Yes, it was worse that year. The Ohio River froze solid and things like fuel oil couldn't make the barge trips up/down the river. I seem to recall that the U.S. Army CofE had to dynamite huge ice jams at Markland Dam. Without going on and on about that, lets leave it as ... this winter was annoying but that winter was seriously dangerous in many respects. The river, in January 2014 nearly froze all the way across. Well, lets just say, I'm glad we have the Winter of 2014 behind us.

Dad's Trusty Barlow
Framed on tripod, here I'm using my dad's aged, hand-me-down Barlow knife. I'm cutting belt slots in a sheath that I was making for my aging Estwing hatchet.
