The particle physics world has been all a'twitter for more than a week about 
some "great discovery" that I assumed was the Higgs Boson. Fills a hole in many 
theories. May lead to better understanding of the Universe as we don't know it 
'fer sure. 

It's interesting that as we can look further and further into "space" with 
modern astronomical equipment, the closer we come to observing the beginning of 
time. How will we explain if we continue looking outward, therefore back in 
"time" until we can observe what we call the singularity, the point of creation 
of everything we know. It would take a belief that time and space warps back on 
itself. After all, with space accelerating it's expansion in all direction as 
we now calculate, the "singularity" should be observed in every direction we 
looked then, would it not? Would not we have to admit that we then exist within 
the singularity, that it encompasses the Universe, as well as being the source 
of all?

Discussion please. Looking for (dis)agreement of my logic here…

Turned the big 70 today. I am overjoyed that I made it to this milestone. Now 
looking forward to 80, an age most of my ancestors attained. Not my parents 
however. Neither made it to 77. Good day for a walk around the block with the 
K5. Rainbow Sherbet for breakfast, a 16 oz steak for dinner. Celebrate my loss 
of 41 pounds in the past 4 months. The weather service promises a high of 71 
today, then hitting 80+ by the weekend! Summer! Finally. Winter not far behind 
if the current trend continues.

Thanks for allowing me to share this list with so many wonderful photographers. 
I do look at all the PESOs and GESOs I can find time to. I just don't have time 
to discuss them with you. It will be some time before I will have organized and 
placed the 4000+ digital copies of the prints and documents that will help me 
describe the lives of my ancestors. Collected in March and April of this year 
throughout the western USA, I plan to create a DVD at some point, after placing 
the resulting images and stories online within several genealogical web sites. 
Once that is done, I will resume sharing other photographs I've taken in the 
last two years as well as those I will shoot between now and then.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY, U.S. of A!
