Wow.

No commentsDearest Readers,
I want to vamp up two sections of this website. The first is ‘favorite posts.’ If you look at the bar on the left and scroll down you’ll come to a list of favorite posts. Do any of you have any favorite posts that you think I should include in the list?
The second section is the About me page. Right now it’s passable, but not awesome. It definitely needs new photos. Any other suggestions?
Rock,
Mike D.

An MSPaint gallery by mike d.
Title: My least favorite.
Comments: Despite being the most frequent, I think this is my least favorite of the Rock Stopped gallery. I have very little to say about this piece.
On this date, Tom Ig should be leaving China. It will be a bummer to lose my travel companion, but I still have San. Unfortunately, Tom does not have a direct flight back so I’m sure he’s not thrilled either to get to spend another 20 hours in a plane.
Ideally, by this date we will have finished all the tough work here at the mill. That would be fantastic, though it’s not completely likely.
Authored by: mike d.Tai Shan means peaceful mountain and is located just southeast of Ji’nan in the Shandong province. This is a hot tourist spot, and from the descriptions, I can understand why. Tai Shan is spotted with many temples, hundreds of ruins and tablets, and over a thousand stone inscriptions. The picture below shows a natural rockfall known as the immortal bridge.
This beautiful mountain also has historical significance in that many emperors and notable Chinese climbed the mountain in order to gain “assurance that their heavenly mandate would be maintained*” Included in this crowd were Qin Shi Huang (first emperor of China), Confucious, and Mao Zedong.
If I have any free days whatsoever, I’m going to do my best to go here. Chinese mythology claims it to be “the most significant mountain under heaven**” I think this would be an ideal way to see and feel China’s natural side.
