I retired from the BNSF in 2015. Interests: art, creative thought, plants, mushrooms, foraging, herbalism, gardening, frogs and graffiti.
Things I miss about working are the people (most anyway) and being able to watch rail art rolling by.

This old cottonwood fell last May. I’ve have visited it every month last season. It is cool.

Zoey and I finally got down to the bottoms to visit the old cottonwood. I did another arm-spam measurement. It is three and a half at shoulder height.

My lunch: soup with foraged mushrooms, my wife’s homemade bread (mixed grains & acorn flour). Both are leftovers so I don’t recall the ingredients. Mushrooms: chicken of the woods, puffballs & seasoned w/ dryad saddle shoyu.
