5780 - Petrified


Yesterday a mention was made about picture 5, the colorful tree trunk. Turns out it is from the Petrified Forest in Arizona. Here's a 5-minute video from a news site that did an article on it. The link to the article is below the video.

My father loved and collected petrified wood. He would have been very, very happy to go to a petrified forest.

Things that are petrified and colorful should not be elected to Congress.

That park is on my bucket list of places to get to.

Mike said...

Sue - I must have been there as a kid because I've got a small piece of it myself. Unless there's another PF in California.

Cloudia - It's quite different from the newest rock you have where you are.

Bill - McConnell and Bobert?

Kathy - Looks like someone could easily spend a couple of days there.

How else can you explain the President of the United States of America , as well as the Entire Democrat Party's knowing that they are a Corrupt, Lying, Dishonest, Dishonorable, Unscrupulous, and Hypocritical and they seem to have an extraordinary way to Deceive.
And right now we have the Current President Joe Biden, along with his Dope Smoking Son right in the middle of the biggest corruption scandal that this Country has ever seen, And a Vice President, Kamala Harris, who is Inept, Incompetent, Unlikable, and often Incoherent as she just Jets around the world doing Nothing. And their followers are just as Stupid as most of the Followers of this blog, including the Rocket Scientist's Les Carpenter, and that Two Faced "Rev" David Miller..

And a Past Vice President, Mike Pence, who is Inept, Incompetent, Unlikable, and often Incoherent as he just sits around doing Nothing. And their followers are just as extremely Stupid as you are.

That was interesting, I'd never heard of the petrified forest and now I'm wondering if Australia has something similar. It's a beautiful area. The different colours and styles of rocks etc are something I have never seen before.

I have been there and it is a very cool place. However, don't take the petrified wood. There is a curse on it. Seems you have attracted a troll or two - better set some traps.

Mike said...

River - Let the Australian hunt begin!

Lady - 3 things... I'm OK with the wood because we bought it at the gift shop. (I'm surprised I remembered that.)
I thought Anon was a troll until I looked up who they were talking about. He's a loudmouth Mississippi state rep who's a republican.
The second one, louise, shows up every once in a while when I leave a comment on Shaw's blog. I usually just delete them but it was too easy to repurpose the comment this time.
