Fall Colors are Coming
Nothing more to say...
Except...
Spectacular!

40 years ago
this was funny.
Not so much anymore.
Additionally... 60+ years
If you have to get down on the floor,
Plan ahead before you do it...
How are you going to get back up.
What If...
What If...
Science sees the evidence but can not explain it... Therefore it can not exist. Or its explained in the most unlikely of terms.
Odd how some things despite evidence is explained away and disregarded. While other things are riddled with contradictions, inconsistencies, and gross interpretations... with little factual evidence... yet believed as an absolute truth. Go figure.
Pedal power?
Pedel Power?
Or rubber bands?
Beyond that... I have no words.
Easy to find a parking spot!

Data centers
Existing & new data centers
Equinex... 60 acres... 370,000 sq.ft.
Boggles the mind.
In our small little town in central Virginia (farm country), the are already 3 or 4 current data centers, with a total of 10 when finished.
6 will be within the town limits of Culpeper, and another 4 just outside of town. They will cover 1,400 acres of land, and have a combined 18.7 million sq. ft. of buildings. That really blows the mind. They will consume about 4,000 mega watts of power.
Currently, two inside town limits are huge complexes, with multiple buildings, generally secluded by trees and raised enbankments, and what little can be seen is armed guard gatehouse, double blackout fences, 10 foot high with barbed wire, and lots of cameras. Just unintrusively quietely nestled off the beaten roadways. Those already here are deemed the most secure and technology sophisticated in the eastern U.S.

Needless to say... major upgrades for electric power

The largest complex... XX Tech.
426 acres... 4.5 million sq. ft. Under roof.
More than 12 times the sq. ft. size of Equinix (pictured)
370,000 verses 4,500,000 sq. ft.
Needless to say... major upgrades for electric power
are need to meet the 4,000 plus mega watt demand.
(less the entire power grid will fail)
And a usual, signs are popping up in the historic downtown area
to "Save Culpeper" from data centers.
Data centers are outside of the
historic, residential, & commercial areas.
Guess it wouldn't be America
If some were not opposed or offended by something.
Unless you go outside of town onto minor side roads,
Unless you go outside of town onto minor side roads,
You would not see the data centers.
Besides, they are tucked away behind tree lines
and raised hill enbankments blocking the sites from view.

Food photos
Photos of Food
I don't know... people taking photos of food.
They say it happens all the time.
I don't know.
Special occasions... okay.
Home cookouts... maybe.
Everyday... It's there a problem?
Some say I take too many photos... true!
Some say I take too many photos... true!
Of food... I can't remember, exactly.
Well... maybe... a little.
Well... maybe... a little.
Now I'm hungry... Go figure.

Natural wonders

Man made structures
Long time forgotten.
There's always something to discover.
Unusual rock formations

Who made these?
When & why?
Fantasy
Fantasy...
It's an escape from a world of facts,
Nevertheless, always cherished as possibilities.
Wishful thinking and visions of fantasy.
It lies between that which can be proven...
and things that can not be disproven.
Possibilities that can not be proven...
or disproven as factual.
It's an escape from a world of facts,
to a boundless world of possible truths,
yet to be proven as factual.
Nevertheless, always cherished as possibilities.
Wishful thinking and visions of fantasy.
