AT Tahoe Lake
The altitude is 8000' and I am experiencing altitude sickness weak and short of breath. It is so beautiful I want to go hiking so bad but all I can do is walk ever so slowly. I did go to the casino walked in the door sat down at the first penny machine played a ten for a hour in a half got up to
$ 53.00 and finally back down to 2 cents, so I took my 2 cents moved to another machine and won .30 so I played it all and walked back to the condo with $49.61 not bad for two hours work.
Other than my not feeling good and you look beyond the crowds Tahoe brings back so many happy memories my parents had a home up here for a couple of years I guess you say "back in the day" it was not so crowded and the building in every inch of land of so many motels and shops had not happened it was not the same. The air is crisp and the feel of the place is the same I have heard the wind moving through the sugar pines, it is just a magical place. I imagine what it must have been like when only the Indians and animal lived here, oh it is just awesome. The salmon are running at the mouth of the Truckee river that feeds into the lake and the bears are seen all the time there was one walking around the pool area this morning I just missed him, dang I would have loved to see him of course I would not have had my camera. Another high point of the trip we went to Carson City they have a wonderful museum we spent the morning there, the history of this country is all tied up with gold and silver even today the Comstock mine is working day and night driving to Virginia City is like a drive in Logging county the trucks make the roads so dangerous.
Well we are off to a walk in the woods and I have my camera.

Leaves of God Fall 2009
My seasons have flown by so fast
I can hardly remember the details of my budding
I bloomed far too early forced by natures call
The flower of my youth stolen
My spring lost
I could not hold my bloom
As fruit required all my time
That season of summer went so fast
Consumed by my fruit youth slipped away
Never to swing freely in the warm summers breeze
I held fast lest my fruit should fall
Hot summer days turn to chilly nights
My fruit now ripe hear falls call
They release to face their own unknown
I watch as they fall free
My branches lift from their weight
I stand-alone the crisp air begins to blow
Indian summer comes with new love
I bask in the crisp sun light
My beauty is seen and shared
With the bloom of crimson leaves
My golden years begin
Too soon, I see my skin begin to shrivel
Youths golden beauty slips into grey
My hold on the tree of life seems futile
The frost of winter comes so fast
I hold tight lest I fall
So many leaves are falling
I watch as they let go one by one
My winter is here my time has come
The cold ground awaits my fall
The snows of winter cover my memory
Yet the family tree still stands
Spring will come
New leaves will unfold
The seasons of life begins again
