Geneva pictures
October 26th, 2010 | 
Author: Pictures I took in Geneva this week. Most of them were taken with my cellphone camera, so the quality may not be the greatest. Lots of smart car photos for linking on the smart car forum. Click on thumbnail for a bigger pic.

- A 4-wheel vehicle much smaller than even a smart car! Yes it’s registered with a license plate.

The ranch on TV!!
Back in 1995 the now long-running Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) series Oregon Field Guide ran a segment on sheep dogs that was largely filmed on our ranch, and at the Banks Sheep Dog Trial we helped organize that year. Our friend Stuart Milne brought his dogs over to our place for the filming, and used our sheep. OPB has been updating their web-accessible video archive and this segment can now be viewed online. I’m sure you’ll recognize the big blue barn in the background.
