What's In This Blog

I created this blog for my journal. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this blog I keep many of the things I come across as a member of the church. I also share my experiences on the ACE Train and getting to work, my experiences in Manteca where we have lived for three years, and other things I think are noticeable.

Me on the Chuckwalla in Kingman

 There is a large chuckwalla statue in Kingman.  A chuckwalla is a lizard reaching 12-18 inches with the tail that lives in the desert around Kingman.  This chuckwalla has a metal frame and is made of concrete with bronze and Italian glass.  It is sculpted by Solomon Bassoff and Domenica Mottarella (Faducci).  I have tried to do a sefie but it never worked, but was lucky to have someone take the picture.

The Dublin Arch

I met Jesse's folks in Dublin when he was returning home.  At the corner of Hopyard and Dublin Blvd (close to Camp Parks.) There is the strangest art.  To me it looks like the Natural Bridges and Bridges National Monument in Utah, although not quite as big.  It also has an interesting twist you can see when closer-up. 
You can see the twist looking at the arch from the end and close up.

Looks more like an arch from the side.
