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.

April continues to be busy. It is easy to say already that I have either worked a full day or traveled (often both) every single day of April 2016. And the month is not over. It has gotten so busy that I had to plan a meeting at a restaurant in the international terminal of the Atlanta airport. Places, times and missions/goals. It all has to converge somewhere. I spoke at a conference in San Diego. Some quotes I thought about this week. "The best camera is the one you have with you"--- Chase Jarvis "Do the work you can't not do."--- Scott Dinsmore (Read this one very carefully.) "Your heart is where you tears are."--- Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist) An art pic of a familiar view from the "plane train" in ATL airport. Pics from Tijuana Mexico. I have a brand new passport. Just breaking it in.
