Wyoming and Idaho

We are back from a quick vacation. I managed to score three (actually several more) bucket list items in 4 days. 1.) Long Snowmobile Trip. 2.) Yellowstone Park and 3.) Wyoming. I reached my 50th State --Wyoming! And we took a 90 mile snowmobile trip in Yellowstone National Park. We went to the "Craters of the Moon--National Monument and Preserve" in Idaho and also stopped at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) where I got to see (with my own eyes) the very cool nuclear powered twin turbojet engine. It was a successful experiment in the 1950s and 1960s. https://whatisnuclear.com/safety-minutes/htre-3-meltdown.html Of course, I had my Radiacode scintillation detector with me and yes, the apparatus is "Hot". The screenshot of the readings from my three walk-arounds the artifact. I swear you could smell the radiation. There was a very un-natural burnt smell something reminiscent of burned bakelite. Although, I am quite certain the emitted radition was not the source...

It's the weekend again. I have been living alone in this house since I moved in 18 months ago. The property has appreciated (a quick look on the HP 12c shows 44% in this time) nicely. People have a tendency to forget that they are spending their money twice when they are investing in the place they live. This is a true bubble. A basic need is to have a place to live, where is your baseline? I don't need a extravagant place to live and I have options. I can comfortably rent a place again if I need to. I received my new computer. It is replacing my Dell that I bought in 2003. 10 years is good for a computer. It was time. I expect to have the place up in NY rented again. I like that place so much. The more I learn the more I realize that your inner vision is precisely what you get on the outside or physical world. The appearance of "O dragão verde" in his retreat clinches it. I have been studying about the green dragon.
