Capricorn Moon Camping and more of the Fawn Triplets

Image
I took this pic while camping the past week. It was taken at sunrise, but also there is a full-moon in the west. It was a capricorn moon. https://www.yogajournal.com/lifestyle/astrology/full-moon-in-capricorn-july-2025 A few more pics of the deer triplets. I managed to get all three in a couple pics. All three seem to be healthy. I think they are about 10 weeks old. They are eating grass nicely.

Today I managed to fit in a dealer visit. My guide was great. Not only is he a pilot he was also an Antarctican. He was involved for years with the British Antarctica survey at Rothera Station. We had some great discussion. It has been a week of Antarctica in Europe. My workload is very high, but there are worthwhile tidbits. I am adjusting to driving in England. Every mile breeds competence and confidence.

I think I may be growing new taste buds here in France. The food has been great of course. I also had another treat. The Massey Ferguson Museum at the plant has the original lead tractor "Sue" that Sir Edmond Hillary used on his drive to the South Pole. I had seen pictures and had read about it. It was totally unexpected to see it there. It was good. I met one of the original members of the team that made that famous third traverse to the pole when I was on the ice. It must have been a good tractor. http://www.fofh.co.uk/articles/pole.htm Tonight I am in England where the tractor was made.

It figures the day I am set to leave for two weeks in Europe the US puts a alert up for Americans in Europe. I will be ok. If not, my will is on my blog. Saved, not published. This place on Buford Highway caught my eye. I finally had time to stop and take a photo. I was in the market for new tires. Of course I was thinking of IFY tires. I can't make this stuff up.
