"I hope you're persuaded now that you've got to do something about it. Immediately."Ray said nothing for the moment. He had been thinking about the ne...cessity of making this decision for many months. The stakes now, however, were extremely clear.It had always been a tough call, whether his decision to work alone - to avoid hands-on scientific analysis - was wise or even fair. But the debilitating effects of what he was doing had become too obvious to ignore. Ray knew he couldn't continue on his. I stepped close and put my hand on the glass. She met my hand with hers and simply slid the door open, not slowing her rubbing of the conditioner into her hair.

The girls down in this part of the country don't worry about shaving a whole lot. She had stopped shaving altogether after we met and I didn't mind one bit. She then moved. It was warm today. Off to one side of the trail was an old tree trunk lying about a foot off the ground. I walked over and sat down. In the distance I could hear the sound of engines getting closer. I guessed they were four- wheelers or maybe dirt bikes. I would soon find out as the sound got nearer. I sat on the old log and waited, camera in hand to take some shots as they passed. They were coming up the trail pretty fast, but I was ready. They passed by my location quick fast, but I snapped. The stables were in back against the west wall. I knew the best mounts would be kept there. I made note to go there after we ate.We entered the building through the north pandus ianua, the arched doorway. Turning immediately left, we went down a short hallway and came to a massive cedar door. Opening it, we entered the main atrium of the building. We headed toward the back of the house, and entered the kitchen area. It was open to the outside yet covered to allow the cooking heat to dissipate.
