SOUTH MOUNTAIN HIKE

Awesome spring so far! The cactus blossoms are beautiful. (note all the granite)

This is a beautiful example of a cool weathering process... 'Root Wedging'. The tree's roots seek cracks and expand, causing the rock to break apart.

This is a Phoenix view from our hike. (Note: We hiked all the way... we did not use that road you see.)

Tyler talked me into going on a walk.... We ended up hiking South Mountain's 'National' trail. Lots of cool geology!

By the way....

For this to be justifiable I've quit smoking cigarettes all together.

Alright people, So I've neglected to blog so long that I feel guilty... Not really. I view my families blogs from time to time with no interaction. I've intended to comment and blog for some time now. But what really kicked my butt in gear is my new self-experiment, and the many blogs that led me to conduct this self-experiment.

Simply put, there is a ergonomics movement involving the unnatural postures humans develop from the over use of chairs. Yes, I said CHAIRS. But seriously use your critical thinking on this one.

There are many articles, blogs, testimonials, and websites dedicated to this subject. I will include some links for you all. The concept is awesome!

So, Instead of slouching at my computer or while doing homework I'm gonna stand.
