That'll work! Nice family, PHPaul.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

The first stone is always the hardest.
This is the beginning of a retaining wall I built several years ago. The old railroad ties are out and versalok is going in. Where to place the first stone?

Bama, that's a panda that you have there. You've noticed that he will only eat bamboo? Definitely a panda.

My dad, somewhere in southwest Alaska, circa 1951. He's the one in the back, left side, with shades, hat, and the impromptu shoulder holster.
He was part of the US Army's 30th Engineer Group stationed at Fort Winfield Scott at the Presidio in San Francisco. They spent the summers surveying in Alaska.
He had great stories of those times. From winning other guys beer rations - once by betting on his own shooting skills, and another time on whether they could light a strike anywhere match by swinging an axe (he secretly practiced beforehand, so he could do it most of the time), or the time he was left overnight on a mountain top by piston engine helicopter - and ended up driving off a brown bear with his M-2 carbine. Single shots into the rocks in front of it, so the gravel would sting it's nose (he knew that shooting it with 110 gr FMJ was pointless)

The old man, my mother, sister, brother, and I. Taken when he was uniform patrol. He and his partner had just broken up a bar fight the night before this was taken. He kept his right hand hidden because it was swollen. Taken 1962.

Summer 1968 - My first experience with my grandfather's old Wheelhorse tractor (which I later drove off the seawall and into the lake when the steering broke ).
