Before we moved, we took another trip to Redwood National Park. This picture is from Del Norte Redwoods State Park. We took so many pictures that I haven’t even tried to put them into an album yet. Here’s a taste.

This one is from the Rockefeller Forest, Bull Creek Flats, Humboldt Redwoods State Park:

on buses and earthquakes
Posted on August 9th, 2007 at 8:31 pm by carolyn

How long is it going to take for me to realize that the buses rumbling by my new Chicago home are NOT earthquakes? I know it’s silly that every time I feel the building vibrate from the bus going by (which is quite often, actually) I have a knee-jerk reaction that it’s an earthquake. I guess that last one really did a number on me. When that one occured, Ron and I both rolled onto the floor next to the bed (I don’t think he expected me to land on top of him) and I shrieked while thinking “It’s the big one!”

But it wasn’t. And the CTA buses going by certainly aren’t. All in due time, I guess.
