Even our local nothing mountains are taller than the Smokey's. The San Gabriel's are 10,000' high and the San Bernardino's go up to 11,500'. The San Gabriel's are less than an hour drive from LA and the San Bernardino's a little over an hour.

That's because the Smokies are like a bazillion years old, and have been worn down to practically nothing.
They don't seem like nothing when you're hiking them, though.

Yep, old, worn out and tired. California is new, fresh and growing. "Give me men to match our mountains."

HEY Forkie!!! How are you this fine…errr…afternoon there, isn't it?

Hey! Yep - it's precisely 14:31 and 21 degrees celcius. Which is mental, because it's November tomorrow.

Just come back from lunch where I had a massive burger - I'm eating lots today to prepare my stomach for the evening's festivities.

It was warm here yesterday, mid-60s. But it's supposed to SNOW tonight. Now THAT's CRAZY. And bad.

And it's the Smokies. Or the Great Smoky Mountains.

Just so you know.

Opps.

Not tired. Just comfortable. Like your favorite old pair of shoes.

5 pages to go to 950! Getting there quicker than I thought we would!

Top of the Morn, Forkie.

That's just about 70 more posts!

I'd kinda forgotten how hard true postwhoring can be.

I'm gonna have to go to the chili cookoff pretty soon.

You know Sharon, there is a theory that had the Europeans had landed on the West Coast instead of the East Coast that there wouldn't have been any manifest destiny.

It starts at 11, but I may not go over until about 11:30 or so.

So what's up this evening?

Friday drinks at our desks in the office from 5pm, then a play at 19:30 followed by the closing night afterparty, then off to another party on the other side of London. BUSY!

Getting to shoot for/at work is a good thing.

I'm back for a few minutes.

The paperwork wasn't ready so we go back in an hour. I'm glad it's across the street from us.
