I spoke at the LavaCon this week. My presentation was very well received. There were well over 100 folks who chose to attend my presentation. Afterwards we had a supplier meeting in Cartersville and a hike up Pine Mountain. https://www.lavacon.org/ It was good to enjoy some brief moments with a llama as part of the conference. And it was good to meet up with lots of folks I have got to know over the years.

Here is a tune that you don't need to know the words. If your your world is feeling big or small it will help re-calibrate.
English:
I believe
Adam and Eva woke up in the morning
Their friend, Helios, was proud of his work
Heat will be during all week
Delphi's oracle watched the weather
Heaven dwarf - winged hummingbird
Loved to drink dew in the dawn
Zebras, centaur, wolves and tigers
Myths seethe like rock river
I believe in Jesus Christ, I believe in Gautama Buddha
I believe in prophet Muhammad, I believe in Krishna, believe in Garuda
I believe in Jesus Christ, I believe in Gautama Buddha
I believe in Jah, believe in Jah, believe in Jah and will believe
Lame volcano kindles a fire
Thor needs a forge hummer
The Great Creator keeps its palm
Over map of life, over place where will be a town.
Legends make us wiser,
We feel pulse of the one university!
Saint Peter is keeper of keys
Dancing magic dance with Helen (of Troy)
I believe in Jesus Christ, I believe in Gautama Buddha
I believe in prophet Muhammad, I believe in Krishna, believe in Garuda
I believe in Jesus Christ, I believe in Gautama Buddha
I believe in Jah, believe in Jah, believe in Jah and will believe

I am in LA. I missed my connection. I did manage to get the red-eye out tonight. So it looks like I get to spend another night on a plane. I slept last night. I probably got 4 or 5 hours of sleep. I caught up with a fellow ice person last night for the flight. We were recounting the experience. Our experiences and impressions were very similar. He was saying that he can't describe a lot of it. He went on to say that even looking at his photos, they didn't tell what he was experiencing. We agreed about how strange it was meeting the winter-overs we were taking over for when we got there in October. "They had that weird stare and they talked ok and everything but there was no emotional content to what they were saying". There is a zombie like quality to some people who spend a lot of time on the ice. After a couple of weeks at pole he was medivaced to McMurdo for altitude sickness (there were quite a few this year). It got better and went back to pole. This guy is a ...
I flew up to Maine to see my sister and cousins for a few days. As part of the trip we went up Mount Washington in NH. We went up on the Cogged Railway. It's A unique old vehicle system that only uses a large cog underneath the engine hooked into a ladder type of rack on the tracks all the way to the top. The modern engine uses a 600HP John Deere driving a hydraulic pump which in turn drives several hydraulic motors turning the large cog. Mt Washington is known for the extreme cold and highest wind in the world. Yes, the world. That was not the case when we went up. The winds were 3 MPH and the temp was 62 degrees. the highest ever temp ever recorded was 72 degrees and a 3 MPH wind is generally unheard of. So, the weather was quite kind for us.

Christmas eve was eventful again this year. We left to go to Rochester on Christmas eve and I again this year managed to damage Bonnie's car. Last year we hit some black ice on an overpass up in downtown Rochester. This year I went down a seasonal road that I thought was clear like all the regular roads. It was not. We hit the hardest, thickest, slipperiest ice I have ever seen on a road. I had to put the car in the ditch to avoid getting us killed. The car is still there. We moved it out of the first ditch and then after getting some chains made it down most of the hill.
This is the low stress version of the story
The chains slipped off at that point and it is back in the ditch. Of course, I can't even get a wrecker up on the road since it is seasonal road.
I will not drive on Christmas eve again, I doubt.
As part of my recent Maine trip we decided to explore a little out on Vinalhaven (Vinyl Haven) Island. There is a ferry that runs out there. I was pleasantly surprised that it isn't totally about tourism out there. I daydreamed about buying a waterfront property and doing fishing and lobstering. The properties I found were somewhat affordable and essentially turn-key fishing bases. I also had to stop and take a couple fan-boy pics of some antique rolling stock. They must get snow up in Maine. I didn't see any in September.
