I took these photos on a perfect winter day, this year. One will be the cover art for a book. Plenty of room for the title art up on top, in the fog. :-)

Which one do you like best? I think I like the first one. Being able to just make something out in the fog, sort of seems to draw the viewer in and want to look closer at the picture.

Besides, the second one sort of looks like frosted spiders :-(

The Northwest has such incredible views and amazing things to see and do. Sometimes I feel bad that I am not doing ALL of them. Like I am wasting the opportunities afforded to me, just by being in this region. :-)

It is not even 9AM and USWP already has eight pick ups and deliveries scheduled. It is going to be a good day :-)

The sound of the shop changes as the economy fluctuates.

If you are in your own workshop and the employees are busy and the machines are running; you can almost tell what jobs they are working on.

When the CNC machines are milling on dies or heavy plate, the sound of the machine is different. A higher pitch. Almost as though the miniscule vibrations of the machine have something to really reflect off of and take every opportunity to do so.

I can hear the cranes running in the anodizing area. The CNC machines make their own distinctive sounds as they change bits and mill the aluminum. The sound of the rubber mallets as the workers seat parts into the fixtures and jigs. The whishing sound of guys hand sanding parts to smooth the finish combined with others deburring rough edges.

I don't miss the sound of that plastic sonic welder though. But along with that machine was the machine that made those little air pillows used for packaging. Very distinctive rustling sound.

It's a good day when I can hear them all running. :-)

Aside from being too trusting, i am not sure you can go wrong with kindness.

If you can manage to be nice to people (especially if you don't think they deserve it), you probably can make the world a slightly better place.

I'm not saying today is "Take a Homeless Person Home With You" day, because that seems like a good way to fall into the "too trusting" category.

But it won't kill you to hand them a bottle of water, if you happen to have one. It won't make you a wonderful human being either. It will only make you kind. Kind, only for that moment.

You don't get to go back to the office and be a jerk to your co-workers just because you handed a hobo your unused water bottle.

Even if you do it just so you can brag to everyone how wonderful you are, it was *still* a good deed. Aristotle decided that your motivation for doing a good deed does not decrease the value of the good deed. I, however, feel that for it to be truly altruistic, you really need to do it as anonymously as possible :-)

You'll probably realize when you get to the point where you don't even notice that you did not want to tell anyone about what you just did.

Be kind. Encourage others to be kind. I don't see how it could hurt.
