Smoky sunrise
Hoping for a smoke-free summer. The next 7+ weeks will be smoke free for me, but that’s because I won’t be in Ashland. Last year the smoke came late, as evidenced by this photo from early October.

Flashback Friday
#mynwrcphoto @NWRafting
My random, desktop image of the day comes from three summers ago.
Vintage
Up Dead Indian Memorial Road you can find this scene, but only if you happen to pull off the road and look down. How long ago did this car take a tumble down the mountainside? 20 years ago? 30 years ago? I don’t know, but it could easily stay down there for the rest of time.
Happy birthday, Emma Ryan!

Grants Pass patriot sunset
#redneck @marilynmanson @mmfa
Only rarely do I get involved with politics on the internet, but here goes.
A few months back I was heading to a show at the Rogue Theatre, and there was an amazing sunset happening. As I was about to take a photo of it, I saw this yahoo come out of a liquor store and jump in his bright yellow truck. With country music blaring and an engine putting out far more noise than was necessary he crossed the street and into my shot above. Immediately, his tires screeched to a halt, and he turned his truck in my direction.
He pulled up to me with one hand on his steering wheel and the other on, I can only guess, a gun in his lap. He yells at me, “What are you taking a photo of?!?!” To which I pointed at the sky and respond, “have you not noticed the sunset tonight?” He cussed and drove off, probably to his trailer park to consume his new purchase from the liquor store.
Once upon a time, I’m ashamed to admit, I was fairly right wing in my thinking. I was a proud patriot like this guy (well, maybe not that bad). Then, something happened. I lived in and traveled to many other countries. I found out that America wasn’t nearly as “special” as my upbringing led me to believe. People in other countries were nice, had different ways of thinking, and (gasp) actually had ways of doing things that were better than those in the USA.

Controlled burn
Last week’s controlled burn in the Ashland watershed was more aggressive than normal. Maybe the winds weren’t anticipated or they are running out of time before the real fire season begins.
