Man you guys are good!!!!!

The pic with the people, eating.... "No Parking" That made me laugh. But what the heck is that white thing sticking up on the table of the lady to the left?

Tunnel pics were GREAT!!!!!

My big issue is my rides are at 9 pm at night and sometimes later. Not very good for pics...... So much other stuff going on during the day it's hard to get out any earlier. Plus it helps me destress from the day.

Ah, now I see it!!!! For some reason my mind didn't see the person there. I thought his dark vest was like shingles on the side of the building. LOL. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Now that I see it, I'm not sure how I saw it differently to begin with. LOL. A little slow today I guess.......

Thirty hours is long enough for a mission,. Went out and these are the neighbors cows. Not a long way from home, but a ride never the less.



I see all of this everyday that I ride or take a trip to town in the car. But to me, it never gets old. And I wouldn't trade where we live for anything in the world..

NEXT MISSION, I would like to see a picture of a large city as the background . Preferably with skyscrapers. I'm 250 miles from Denver or Omaha, it's something we don't see very often.

The Metro National Building in the Memorial City area of the west side of Houston, Texas. Several small high rises in that area as well as a shopping mall, large hospital, etc.

No way, man! It's a real sign on Moore Drive in Durham, NC. The first time I took that route into work, I though it was so incredibly weird.

It's of course the one street that the Google truck didn't hit. It looks like a private drive, but it's not.

I thought for sure that the MPH sign mission would be won by a military person stationed overseas. On many US military installations overseas, the posted speed limit in MPH will be a conversion from whatever the posted speed is in km/h. So, if the posted km/h speed 30...it will be on a European speed limit sign, with a US speed limit sign nearby reading 19 MPH (or whatever the closest MPH is to the posted km/h).

Ha ha, not a very big one and I would have to be down in the ditch for a better picture. Here is a small dam made by a busy, friendly, neighborhood beaver. Don't make me ride the bike down there for a photo session......

Seven Oaks Dam.



About as close as one can typically get, as there's a riverbed in the way.

Well see, we don't have dams that make 'lectricity 'round these parts. That big dirt wall is just to hold water. For power plants all we've got are big fans out in the desert, big solar arrays further out in the desert, and this guy down in the bottom of the valley:
