Bear in the Way ...
Today, being the first day of the new school year in these parts, I did my fatherly duty and advised both my girls about the always handy “bear in the way” strategy.

Some Perspective ...
The Earth (and its moon) as viewed from 114 million miles away. ... That’s not even “deep space.” In fact, cosmically speaking, this is not even beyond our stellar neighborhood. The next closest solar system to ours, Alpha Centauri, is 4.2 light years away. (A light year equals approximately 5.8 TRILLION miles .... you do the math!) This picture of the Earth and its faithful consort is taken from somewhere in that celestial wasteland between Venus (37 million miles away) and Jupiter (240 million miles away) – Hey, it’s not easy dodging all those rocks out there! In essence, that’s like snapping a picture of your house (and shed) from the corner of the Green’s and the Brown’s yards two houses down the street!

Strummin’ in the Wind
I got this hand-me-down from my father-in-law eight or nine years ago and managed to repair it back to playability. He bought the guitar in pre-Castro era Cuba while stationed there in the Navy. This is the same model guitar that Bob Dylan used at his first Newport Folk Festival appearance in 1963.

Telecasting: This Ain’t Fishing!
While the regal Gibson Les Paul may be the King of Electric Guitars, the Fender Telecaster is the wise old Zen Master who pilgrims seek out atop the mountain.
