Curiosity 1: October 23

I wrote the other day about possibly reviving this blog. For a year. (A year!) 

I do admit, I like going back and looking at old posts. Oh: I used to like doing that! Oh: I'd still like to try to do that! Really? I did that?

Or looked at another way: it's bits and pieces, that all start to add up (maybe 50%, so far) to me. Maybe I'll try for a few more percent in this newest iteration.

For today—and this might well happen frequently—I searched for the date, October 23, on my Flickr feed (which I have not been keeping up with). And I got three hits, going way back:

2007: We got our midterms back today.
I didn't really get 100; I really got 99 (I wrote pide
instead of the correct pedí, but she gave me an extra point
for a fancy sentence I wrote about a ladies' man in the telenovela
we're watching, so who am I to argue?). Too bad I'm going to
have to drop the class soon when I take off on a climbing trip.
I'm doing so well!

2009: Went for an afternoon walk with Mary at Toro Park.
The views from the top were stunning. Here I'm looking pretty much
into the sun, about to set over the Pacific. Sometimes I feel
like I live in heaven.

2010: Well, you gotta practice on something, and better a truck tire
than one of our team members. These guys (Deputies Fritsche
and Dominguez, and our newest volunteer, James)
were hauling on the mainline with a 3:1 mechanical advantage;
the other team had a 5:1 system. Ours was harder to pull on
but required less resetting. I have no idea who won.
But we learned some kind of lesson.... Tomorrow the fun and games
will continue—in the rain.

There, a few aspects of my life: language learning, or schooling generally—I am an inveterate student; hiking and enjoying views and landscapes; and, formerly, Search & Rescue, but volunteerism generally. I still volunteer as a wilderness ranger in the Ventana and Silver Peak Wildernesses. 

As I said, I have not been posting to Flickr. I do post to Facebook, where I have some bit of an audience, but Flickr has fallen off my radar. It is, however, good for archival purposes. I should return. Even if I don't have an audience. 

Like right now: I'm kind of curious about October 23s from 2011 through 2022. 

As for today: I didn't take any pictures. That's on record.
