Activity’s been looking rather quiet for a while now. Either the wind’s died down, or Mother Nature’s taking a breather. Or possibly both :)

Swine and pigs have over a dozen parasites within them, such as tapeworms, flukes, worms, and trichinae. There is no safe temperature at which pork can be cooked to ensure that all these parasites, their cysts,and eggs will be killed.

Yellowstone National Park is a national treasure. I had the joy of working there during my college summers in 1961 and 1962. That was followed by a summer working in Grand Teton National Park in 1963. Talk about a blessed youth. Both are beautiful in their different ways. Here are a few of my shots from my visit this past August. It was so much the better, as I traveled with my son, to show him some of my favorite views and places, like the Cowboy Bar, in Jackson and the Jackson Lake Lodge, in the park.
This is my favorite picture of the trip, Hayden Valley, between Yellowstone Lake and Canyon, with the little black dots on the right being the American buffalo

This is one of the most breath taking view in the world, the 309 foot Lower Falls of the Yellowstone, in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

This Western Tananger flew in an landed about 6 feet from me. I almost had a attach getting my camera ready for the shot. It was like it was looking for food. What a rare treat!

Sun setting on the Tetons from String Lake. What a joy.

Here's a shot of the falls on the "inside" Firehole River road. Great swimming, too.

I sure hope you have enjoyed my pictures. Visit and support the National Park system. Perhaps, next summer, Yellowstone Lake will be warmer than the usual 55 degrees, turning it into a classic hot spaw, with a view.

Nov Gale and PA Mom,
Thanks for the kind comments. I love my cameras. Put the Tetons in front of just about any camera and you end up with great pictures. Granted timing, aim and cropping helps.
Don't get me started with my Grand Kids. LOL
Here's a teaser:

Which reminds me...Thanks for sending the large box of Okra because we never know when a Volcano will need to be appeased.

Cool.
I am not up to risking the road traffic and my agility to bike with KVs Wheelchair system (size of a small car in itself) rigged up on the back. : )
For non KV runs a horse for around our lil outback community but someone would complain about the horse crap.
I can walk on decent days down to check mail or the lil boat hoist store for milk/eggs.
Not to many decent days in our frigid rain forrest here on the coast.
What the Hey!

One of their first tasks, Doss told me, was to draw up an "earthquake and volcano hazards plan"-a plan of action in the event of a crisis. "There isn't one already?" I said. "No. Afraid not. But there will be soon." I assume that's for a small eruption - a large one would require 5 or 6 states to be evacuated...

As I understand it, a large eruption would probably be a world-killer. People-killer, yes. World-killer, no. The planet would recover.
