Last night felt like that day after you’ve been sick for over a week and now you’re 100%. Unfortunately, the smoke returned during the night.

I apologize for the low resolution on this one. I didn’t have my camera, so had to settle for this cell phone pic at the Danielle Kelly Soul Project show.

Anthrax @ 2017 Roskilde Festival

@orangefeeling #rf17 @Anthrax @Scott_Ian @LiveAtTheArmory

15 more days! I hear few tickets remain so don’t wait to buy them at the door as you likely won’t get in.

@CraterLakeNPS #highway62

Weather forecast for Ashland today is 100 degrees and very unhealthy smoke conditions.

Today’s photo comes from a trip I took to Crater Lake in March of 2016. I wouldn’t mind those conditions right now.

#4 Zay Taylor

@SOURaiders @SOU_Football @NAIA @FConference

The Raiders came in, not surprisingly, as the #4 ranked team in the country in today’s pre-season NAIA poll. Meaningless, right? Wrong. Had SOU gone into last season as the #4 ranked team, they would have ended up with home field advantage throughout the playoffs and likely ended up in Florida in December. Instead, they were forced to win a couple of road playoff games, despite their perfect record, to make it to Florida last year. They lost the second in double overtime and were sent home with a 12-1 record.

The Frontier Conference power teams may have shifted. Perhaps Carroll College, Montana Western, and Montana Tech won’t be the teams to beat. This year it may be Rocky Mountain and College of Idaho. Rocky is a road game, and the Raiders will play the Yotes both at home and away.
