I'LL TAKE A THURSDAY ON THE ROCKS

How do you do, my colleagues of the forest?
Today I am hoping to start watching some immense reels of funny footage, but we shall see if the system can get up and run smoothly like a wolf man awakened by the fresh air of an Irish moor. 


Yesterday I dropped by Colter Bay and visited our mutual friend Alfredo who was supervising some volunteers.  A building got a fresh coat of paint that fine day, and Alfredo looked very sharp in his uniform (Figure 1).  I am excited to visit the rest of my chums and see if I can help with the SNAP project in any way.  You know it!
Right now Joseph is one cubicle over working with Bonnie.  I heard some very technical sounding talk about emergency first aid, and she said he was doing very good so far; I thought he must be getting trained for some aspect of fire brigade.  Then she asked, "Now have you ever used one of these?"  Joseph hesitated and then answered no-- meanwhile I was grabbing my camera, powering it up as I sprang around the corner to catch whatever surgical instruction Joseph was getting.  I thought for sure he would be applying the jaws of life to half a mannequin, or trying to interpret the display screen of a defibrillator.  But she was just showing him a label-maker.
So I am off, looking for whatever I can get into!  There is a beautiful skirt of clouds around the Tetons this beautiful day, those large and voluptuous Tetons!

 No matter how fast I scramble toward them it seems like I will never be on top of them.
A closing line, people, taken from Michael Keaton's autobiography: "I had never been there before outside of the dreams I had again and again.  But suddenly after years of work there I was.  Funny how we actually can make our dreams come true, is it not?"  He was talking about his first visit to Cape Canaveral.
