What is this? Inquiring minds NEED to know. . . we got a pair of insulating mugs for Christmas, and got curious as to which sort of mug will keep coffee the hottest. So, we conducted an experiment. They were all within degrees of one another, with the short Starbuck’s mug in the middle slightly ahead. Trail Guy is a little bit sad that his special old mug from Cabela’s with its hand-carved wooden handle didn’t win.

On Boxing Day, as December 26 is known in England, Trail Guy and I drove down to Lake Kaweah (AKA “The Lake”) to take a walk. This is an interesting place to spend time when the water level is low. There are great views of Alta Peak, lots of birds, an old road to walk on, a bridge or two to cross, cockleburrs to pick out of your socks, rocks to contemplate, the river (Kaweah) to watch, mud to slide around on, and people’s undisciplined dogs to fend off.

These photos are beautiful – a favorite part of my country!!! I know that it belongs to everyone but is is mine also!!!
Sally, is that like the Native Americans used to say – “Land, like air and water, belong to everyone and to no one”? I think they used to say that. Maybe they still say that!
What a peaceful time of year—-other than the undisciplined dogs! The mountains are so clear— you have been getting rain, which is fantastic. I laugh at the number of people that post pictures of the mountains (from Visalia) …..it’s a novel sight. Beautiful – nonetheless. ENJOY!!!!!
Anne, do you mean people from Visalia who post on Facebook? I’m not on that thing, but if it is somewhere else, I’d enjoy looking in spite of having a clearer view from my yard!
