<\/a><\/p>\nThis one is the dirty, but wise, bald guy:<\/p>\n
These folk recently immigrated from Peru:<\/p>\n This one is hard:<\/p>\n This one is easy: <\/p>\n And this one is just scary: <\/p>\n I\u2019ll give away the mystery to that last photo. I lost control of the macro lens attached camera for a minute, resulting in a Mike selfie, or maybe it should be called a eye-fie.<\/p>\n We did some cave maintenance, with Scott leading the charge:<\/p>\n Helen did the dusting, the dogs did the sniffing and lounging:<\/p>\n And Dad schooled they young\u2019uns on how to monopolize. <\/p>\n Did you know the Monopoly game was originally invented to illustrate the negative aspects of monopolies? This guy didn\u2019t believe me either: <\/p>\n Helen gave Dad hair cutting a shot, but ended up calling in Mom for a rescue:<\/p>\n And Shiana pleaded for a rescue from Mom\u2019s retaliatory ice down the back war, but as a non-involved photo journalist, I kept my distance: <\/p>\n A few more photos and a Mike Rap video on the July 8 page here (a nifty Google auto-generated Story):<\/p>\n https:\/\/plus.google.com\/+BruceWinter\/stories\/bfc2bb6d-2297-3f65-8457-fd45f429bb9c1475195a3d8<\/a> <\/p>\n Back in Utah, we had a short<\/em> visit from a long<\/em> haired Noah. He and Boris exchanged some music ideas:<\/p>\n Irena is doing well, being proactive with a variety of tricks to keep her cancer in remission:<\/p>\n As you can see<\/strong><\/em> in this shot, pool season is in full swing: <\/p>\n We had a pool party last week with Helen\u2019s EEG lab crew:<\/p>\n Kids can be soooo photogenic:<\/p>\n Adults vary widely in their photogenic-ticity:<\/p>\n Super Dog kept an eye on everyone:<\/p>\n More party photos here: https:\/\/plus.google.com\/photos\/+BruceWinter\/albums\/6037847174772452305<\/a><\/p>\n One of Helen\u2019s former residence, now an attending and a neighbor, got married last weekend: <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Wedding and reception was at a fancy and scenic hotel up at Park City:<\/p>\n Last week we had a visit from a vacationing CA family. This is what I call a \u2018photo cube\u2019, as it requires 3 cameras:<\/p>\n This was a race to see if boy or shadow got to the water first \u2026 ended in a tie:<\/p>\n It was an interesting visit. The Dad is a networking guru, having worked on Internet2 and he invented a core algorithm (LEDBAT) used by Apple and in BitTorrenting, accounting for about 15% of all internet traffic! More photos from that visit here:<\/p>\n https:\/\/plus.google.com\/photos\/+BruceWinter\/albums\/6041164370149410945<\/a><\/p>\n I finally got my new ceiling fan working. Turned out they forgot to plug in an internal connector at the factory. Carrying a 7\u2019 fan up and down a ladder to a 12\u2019+ ceiling (3 times!) is a trick:<\/p>\n This weekend\u2019s project was to install cement pavers the bottom of the deck steps:<\/p>\n After carefully cultivating grass there for 2 years, I decided that cement might be a bit more resilient. What I didn\u2019t take into account was how strong cement pavers are and how many saw cuts would be required. Note the look of despair here:<\/p>\n After consulting the wisdom of the Internet, I concluded a 6\u201d abrasive blade on a battery powered skill saw was not going to cut it, so I bought a expensive ($70) 10\u201d diamond tipped blade for my cheap ($100) table saw, and after much dust, called it a victory:<\/p>\n Finally, only one bug marched into my macro lens this month:<\/p>\n This guy can curl up to the size of a pea with a shell as hard as a rock:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
