Every kid's dream? The Kittanning, PA Central School Burning 1918 - Photo taken by a relative of mine. This fire started in the hot air ducts but 850 children escaped safely. Written up in the Quarterly of the National Fire Protection Association as a loss of $75,000.

Below is the companion photo I posted a couple years back.

You never know where 'Lady Liberty' will turn up! This statue was outside our hotel room at a Best Western Plus near Yosemite NP.

Sierra Nevada in California - Long distance hikers often climb down from these (14k elevation) to the small town of Lone Pine (3727 ft elevation) for food and a night in a hotel and then hike back up!

Our favorite pub, Murray's, in Dublin; best Saturday night of the trip last year!

Snowy June day over the Rockies; fitting for the current popular movie "Society of the Snow" based on the Miracle of the Andes/"Alive" story from 50 years ago; can't believe it's that old!

So all that house hunting finally paid off! Looks like a great place for a young bachelor!

It's at Flamingo Crossing...and to think, about four years ago there was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING there!

I have several friends who have had knee replacements (partial and full) and all have had good results if as goopysolelady says especially if you put in the hard PT work afterwards. One even recently went to India for a mountain trek. And a couple friends with Stage 3 prostrate cancer too. One had the radiation pellets and is doing great now; the other chose surgery and radiation and is okay from what we last heard. I hear there are new options available almost every month. Will keep you both in my thoughts over the coming months!

....well, a little bit of good news: He had the PET scan done on Tuesday and yesterday the doctor's assistant shared the news that it has NOT gone beyond the prostate wall, so there is definitely more hope about the situation.
