Laguna...

Yesterday Debbie and I took a nice hike to the Laguna Lakes, just west of the Laguna summit.  Miki and Race – perfect hiking companions – joined us as well.  Here are some photos from along the way.  The first one is acorns in a Ponderosa pine; this time of year the acorn woodpeckers have stuffed their “larders” in preparation for the coming winter.  Race loves his pine cones!  The lakes were full of coots, and we saw a few pairs of mallard ducks...

Great Carved Pumpkins!

Many more on display here.

Cain's Numerology Interest...

Cain seems to have an interest or belief in “special numbers” that verges on flat-out numerology.  Assuming all this stuff is true (I haven't tried to verify it), it's very discomfiting to me.  It's akin to a belief in magic as opposed to causality.

On the other hand, Cain majored in mathematics and computer science, so maybe this is just reflective of a general interest in math and numbers...

The Good Old Days...

Well, maybe not so much...
