Hood (The Raven King, Book 1)

Robin Hood
The Legend Begins Anew
For centuries, the legend of Robin Hood and his band of thieves has captivated the imagination. Now, the old familiar tale takes on new life, fresh meaning, and an unexpected setting.
Hunted like an animal by Norman invaders, Bran ap Brychan, heir to the throne Elfael, has abandoned his father's kingdom and fled to the greenwood. There, in the primeval forest of the Welsh borders, danger surrounds him--for this woodland is a living, breathing entity with mysterious powers and secrets, and Bran must find a way to make it his own if he is to survive.
Steeped in Celtic mythology and the political intrigue of medieval Britain, Stephen R. Lawhead's latest work conjures up an ancient past and holds a mirror to contemporary realities. Prepare yourself for an epic tale that dares to shatter everything you thought you knew about Robin Hood.

Friday night view of the Microwave fire in Oregon along the Columbia River Gorge. THis fire started near Mosier, Oregon and has covered 1000 + acres above Columbia traveling nearly to Hood River, Oregon. It does not extend much south of that ridge, an area mostly grasslands, and much of it burned quickly through on the first night. The burning areas are mostly timbered rock ledges. This fire is referred to as the Microwave FIre because of its proximity and threat to the Microwave towers on the tallest ridgetop near Hood River.

Helicopters have been pulling water from the ponds near Mosier and Hood River... and because of the winds and updrafts from the fire on steep hillsides, the helicopters appeared to be struggling to get their buckets of water close enough to the blazes to actually help... I watched on Saturday while one came up from below with water, and seemed to move backwards instead of forward trying to get close enough. I also watched while something caught fire near the towers that flared up brilliantly on Saturday with clouds of black smoke rolling up through the orange smoke.

Fire... yes it fascinates me and horrifies me... and there have been so many widespread fires this year in so many areas.. one of many signs of severe planetary changes going on world wide.

As to interpreting those changes, well I leave that up to you... there are as many ideas on that as there are stars in the sky perhaps!

this shot straight off the camera... no time right now to mess with it.

This ducting ended up being far more dificult that it should have. There was no elbow piece available that was on a tight enough radius to install. The solution ended up being a flexible piece of duct and cutting the duct output to get the extra 20 degrees needed to make it work. Wouldn't it have been easier just to vent back into the room?
