Clydesdales/Athenas (200+ lb / 91+ kg) - Pic's of my commute

I saw a tree on a pond I wanted to take a picture of and decided to take some of my route on the way home from work. The majority of my 21 rt commute is by a lake. Nice views if the wind is not blowing.

This is as close as I can get to take a picture of work. Otherwise the guys with the guns start asking questions.

There is about a mile with no shoulder at all. Luckily this is about as bad as traffic gets. The sidewalk ends a little ways up and its never clean so I always take the road.

Oh, that reminds me! I've got to find a chicken, a couple of virgins, some fur from the back of a Western Black Bear, and six pieces of string at between 6 and 147 inches, in equal increments. I'd better get to work!

Russellville. That is Lake Dardanelle in the pictures.

Sorry Tom,

But I just like to stick to the traditional Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.:D

Ah, pardon me, but Western Rite is much simpler. It only requires a 2" apple and a 8" length of cotton twine. This has been acceptable since 1971 in the PNW. As you may recall, this change had to do with the shortage of virgins. Sheep have never been an allowed substitute.

Merry Christmas
