You got to love saguaro cactus. They look like they're flipping off the world!

In 5 years, there will be a Dollar General in every one of those pictures.

And for those of you that have heard of Marcellus Shale, the outcropping that it is named for is a couple miles from me.

And speaking of geology...Sideling Hill Cut located at the Maryland "taint" between WV and PA. Before the visitor center opened I used to stop and find trilobites and fish looking things at this elevated spot. Cheers to both mother nature and the workers who cut it.

I got to thinking about the old pic of Main St I posted and looked for a present time picture.

This was the best I could find from the same viewpoint. Note the church steeple in both. The building with the porch is the Alvord House, and I think that burnt, but the brick building is the newer version, still the Alvord House. My oldest son tended bar part time in there for a few years. The Esso station is long gone, became an Amoco station somewhere along the line and then torn down and a bank is there now. Not much else has changed.

I've had people refer to this as the real "Mayberry"... It truly is part of my America.

Some rare snow in Black Canyon City and a badass crested saguaro in Tucson.
