Working for The Man: Bonjour midweek

The guy running it showed us Saturn through a telescope. It was still tiny, but you could make out the rings and everything!- It was amazing.

I am on eastern time here. The office is about a mile away from the living area and yurts so we hike there over many hills and the view is pretty nice. I have been finding morrel mushrooms around the fields here and frying them up in a flour breading. YUM! I hosted a campfire last night that became a s'more making party. I had a couple...
What's new with me? Not a whole lot. This altitude is pretty fun, I can't walk anywhere without being short of breath, I eat about 5 times a day to comp for all the energy expenditure.

I think it is picture time cuz my mind is wandering. hope you enjoy what I have!
