Some of Favorite Bands

According to my iTunes "Top 25 Most Played" songs I get Crash Test Dummies, Creed, Dream Theater, Emmanuel Jal, Everclear, Jim Croce and Rush. For some reason, I have "How Does A Duck Know" by the Crash Test Dummies as my top song. I really like the lead in for the track.

The bands I really think of as solid faves are Rush, Dream Theater and Emmanuel Jal.

I wonder if I can clear the "Play Count" value. Some of my top songs are ones that I used to listen to a lot, but not so much lately.

Pictures from recent trips

Later, I'll add photos from some trips I've taken in Eastern Washington. During the Labor Day weekend I did an overnight trip which led me towards Yakima and into the northern part of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. I wound deciding to drive on through to Othello and then spend the night in a motel in Moses Lake.

I spent the Sunday driving the Grand Coulee and making it to the Grand Coulee Dam. The Lenore Caves were cool to walk up through. The drive from the dam back towards the cascades was really interesting. I liked the wide open spaces. Erratics are strewn throughout the landscape. I also saw some sort of dust devil in a dirt field.

I have some of it on video. That might go on YouTube when I get around to it.
