I guess its been some time since I've been inspired to get out the camera.  I have about 2000 shots, but nothing that really makes me say "I need to share this."  So, to work back into the groove, I have decided to take some shots; any shots, then post at least 3 a week.  If you see me slipping, feel free to send me a message and hold me to the 3 pics a week.

Some things going on locally that I could have shot, but didn't:
• Record rainfall and flooding.  The type associated with a once in a century flood.  House pushed off foundations.  People with fish in their fist floor rooms because the water is so high.  You get the idea.  We had about 3 inches (7.6 cm) of water in the lower parts of our basement.  It was all from seepage from the walls, not an overflowing river or stream.  I count myself lucky there was no permanent damage.
• Harvest time.  There are (were) fields of pumpkins and other things that should have been inspiring, but just weren't.
• A Strong Man competition at my local gym.  Some great men and women taking part in the "Put Up or Shut Up" Challenge.

Some things about what has been happening with me:
• I've continued my workouts and I'm maintaining my weight loss and building more lean muscle.  I'd still like to lose 20 more pounds of flab - or replace it with muscle.
• I recently started to work on endurance.  I will be running a 4.5 mile (7.2 k) run in 2 weeks.

What's happening right now:
• I'm watching news the breakdown of democracy in the United States of America.
• I'm listening to yet more rain which is causing more damaging floods in my area.

Here are a few links to my local news website.  They have several galleries of photos of the flooding.
