Rock Canyon was beautiful this morning

I hiked farther up Rock Canyon than I had previously, and found myself wishing I had gone a few weeks earlier. Most of the leaves were already off of the trees, but not in the picturesque autumn setting. It was closer to a winter scene without snow.

That reminds me that snow is coming soon.

And because it was on sale, I got a hoody at threadless.com's sale

It's sure to warm most people's hearts, and may even get me a date. If i want to date someone based on my fantastic hoody.

New computer will be built soon. I'm still taking pictures.

It is funny how the last warm day was almost a week ago. There was a spectacular sunrise that I was able to snap a photo of on my way to the lake. Why the lake? Just wanted to be somewhere other than the four walls of my apartment or my windowless office. It looked nice.

The very next morning things were different. December arrived. So did a storm. On my way to work I was greeted by snow. A bigger snow storm than almost all of the snow from last year's winter. It was a very sticky, wet snow. The kind that don't beckon snowmen, angels or snowball fights.

The worst part of all is scraping the windows. It is like nails on a chalkboard to me. It has to be done but my hair stand on end with each scrape across the glass. My breath looks like a locomotive and i furiously scrape away with my 5-dollar Chinese plastic scraper special. Really? I could have gotten it cheaper at Wal-Mart?

No thanks.
