Celebrating my freedom while I still can

Next week back to the office, no more wearing second amendment t-shirts with two AR 15 freedom sticks on them, looking all grizzled and smelling like sweat and cow manure. A glimpse I guess vaguely of the off grid life I some day want to live.

Minutes before sunset, the sun dropped below the clouds on this muggy summer evening.

Buck Settlement Lean-to

Been years since I've been back to this Lean-to and it's still in beautiful shape, maintained perfectly looking like new. And it's such a beautiful open canopy forest near the Glen Creek.

Coloring is based on county winner and percentage they received.

This map was made using #rstats and #ggplot2, which I didn't think would be possible until I came up with a way to do this using max.col and then filling in county losers with NA, dropping the NAs, then using alpha transparency with percentages and candidates with fill.

Sometimes solutions are possible if you take problems logically!

Northampton Campground

I've been to the North Hampton campground a few times for the swimming beach but it never stops to amaze me how tight they pack in those campsites in intensive use areas. Why not just stay home in the city?
