Doughnut Evidence

Sometimes at midnight you hear the engines reving up. You might have been asleep already.

But the roaring, screeching and squealing of tires travels up the hill from the lower road in the park.

Here’s some evidence of doughnuts by hot rods. “A doughnut (or donut) is a vehicle driving maneuver characterized by an intentional and sustained oversteeraction. The maneuver entails rotating the rear or front of the vehicle around the opposite set of wheels in a continuous motion. This creates a circular skid-mark pattern of vulcanized rubber on the pavement and typically generates significant. Tire smoke due to friction. “

The Northern Cascades- Guest Blog

My sister is visiting our brother and sent me these photos Washington Pass Overlook
The Northern Cascades

A .5-mile paved loop takes you atop rocky outcroppings that overlook the valley floor far below and give you prime views of the jagged peaks opposite you. It’s one of those dramatic pictuesque scenes you come to love from the North Cascades.”

I’ve been on that winding road and what I remember quite vividly is there are no guard rails but yes, the view is spectacular.

As predicted, more to come

First snow post you saw the view from the back.
This is the view from the front.

Good soup, hot tea and knitting weather. Not good if you have to be out on the road.

Park Bench Memorial

Monday morning we went to the playground in Upper Arlington. Ohio. Charlie and his friends didn’t mind playing in the heat but I found this lovely bench in the shade. As I sat and knit on a sock, I noticed this plaque in the cement. I don’t know who Cornelia R. Pond was but her son Jim took good care of her and donated the park bench in her memory.
