Traveler, photographer, climber, and trekker. Loving retirement, and grateful that I can still get out and enjoy this big, beautiful world.
Woo hoo! Fun day of rock climbing at Sonora Pass. The climbing routes are all on National Forest lands, but they are heavily used by Marines from the nearby Winter Warfare Training facility. We climbed two routes after the Marines finished on them - 5.4 and 5.6. Good hard scary fun!

I like big rocks, and I cannot lie. 😁
This lovely new addition to my decor weighs nearly 16 pounds and shows off beautiful white quartz, black mica, and yellow tourmaline.
Thanks to Carl's Large Rocks for another beauty. carlsrocksandminerals.com

Speaking about the homeless, Fox News prick Brian Kilmeade suggested that we should "just kill 'em" using an "involuntary lethal injection". That sure sounds Nazi to me.
If Fox was a legitimate news outlet, he would no longer have a job.
