30 CENTS

MATHER POINT LOOKOUT




















There are people in this picture. Just left and above center.














Looking back from the abyss.


























At the end of the day, ONE of these six gave me a five dollar bill. The rest, ZERO.

Did I really work for 30 cents an hour today? Really?

On a different and perhaps happier note: more pictures from Florida. Terry and I stumbled on to the ruins of a sugar plantation and mill that had been destroyed by Seminole Indians in the 1830's. The "stones" were quarried from a layer of "rock" that actually the shells and skeletons of sea creatures.

Sky Juice!

At the airport in Phoenix, so far this year, we have seen almost 3 inches of rain. THREE INCHES. Everyone has seen the blue skies in my blog photos.



Today we got almost .25" in Central Phoenix. It's a big deal. I know you can't see it in this video, but there really really is "stuff" falling from the sky into the swimming pool

In the high country, it's a wash out. I was scheduled for Grand Canyon tomorrow, but it ain't going to happen.
