Back from Yosemite



The Flanagan Clan has returned from Yosemite, so it is safe to visit there once again.

We had a great week "in the dirt", as it were. One incredible rain storm (which certain Flanagans suffered through at the Ahwahnee). Two days spent drifting down the Merced in inner tubes, another visiting Glacier Point and Taft Point.

No "Flanagan Death Marches" to Half Dome or Yosemite Falls this year; a combination of one generation aging and the next recovering from knee surgery (both Jonathon AND Conor).

Joe joined us for a couple of days with his three oldest kids (Cade, Cas and Jack); so for a couple of nights the only Flanagans missing were Julie and new baby Lane. Who, no doubt, were in the South Bay enjoying light traffic since so many residents were in Yosemite.

As always, a week is not enough, but it was nice to get home to a hot shower that wasn't a bike ride and a $5.00 charge away.

Gun Rights

In honor of the SCOTUS, who got it right:

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!
