Nature -- Deer and Butterfly

I do like the outdoors and nature. I dont like the naive view. I like the real thing. Sometimes it can be scary and sometimes it hurts. I still like nature. I like wilderness. Camping in North Georgia is quite nice. There is a alot going on as usual, at work and at home. I think I am going to sell the humvee. I dont need 5 cars. I have some more work to do to it, but after I get what I have planned done. Its gonna hit the road. It will still take me awhile with my current level of productivity and the number of projects I have in flight. I will be up in NY again soon probably and I have travel plans currently to Maine, New Hampshire and Japan. I am making vacation plans mostly in the Caribbean.

Angie has been working a crazy schedule at her job at a jewelry company. I decided to take a day off from work so we could do some advemture together.

The Georgia Guidestones are about an hour and a half drive from Duluth. They sit in Elberton GA, where there are huge deposits and quarries of Blue Granite. I like to say "Gran-ITE". Since it is a mineral after all. We dont say "stalag-TIT" do we? Anyhow. It was a good day trip exploring Richard B. Russell lake and the back roads of Georgia. It struck me again how depresesed and unchanging Upstate NY is compared to Georgia. The semi truck we saw splitting at the seams was exactly that. The suspension was flexing the trailer a lot. It seemed dangerous to me. I am glad I was not pulling it waiting for it to fall apart on the highway.
