A while back there were pictures posted of Devils Tower like the one in Wyoming.
The canyon I live in is lined with that type of rock formations. I live in south central Utah.
Like Devils Tower in Wyoming, this is an igneous intrusion. That means it formed underground from molten rock. Magma pushed up into the surrounding sedimentary rock.
I copied this from Wikipedia. I live just a few miles from Marysvale.
"The Marysvale volcanic field is located in southwestern Utah, United States.
One of the largest volcanic fields in the western United States, the Marysvale straddles the Colorado Plateau-Great Basin transition zone. Most igneous rocks belong to a middle Cenozoic (~32 to 22 million years old) calc-alkaline sequence, although about 5% are related to an upper Cenozoic (23 million years to Holocene) bimodal (basalt and rhyolite) sequence. The Marysvale contains a variety of volcanic features, including stratovolcanoes, calderas, lava domes, and cinder cones.
The field is an example of intraplate volcanism; its earlier deposits are thought to be related to Farallon plate subduction, while the later bimodal assemblage (especially the basalts) have been linked to Basin and Range extension."
Both peaks, to the left in the far distance are volcanos that erupted somewhere between 21 and 23 million years ago.
The one on the right is Mt Belknap, 12,137 ft.

Wasn’t sure where else to put this, but thought someone would appreciate it. I took this picture while watching Mecum auto auction. Obviously needed to mask up to get in to the event, but I am not sure they were policing thy type of mask.

Mine was in the next building on the Grand Concourse and E.196th St. , So I didn't have far to go. It was like being marched to jail lol. My sweet Grandma would always come with me and sit in a chair close by as the dentist worked on me. All the way up to when I got married (age19) lol. Then, my brother in law became my dentist, and used nitrous oxide. That was so much better, and he was a wonderful dentist. I could actually relax then.

I wore one similar when they treated a cancerous tumor in my brain with sterotactic radiosurgery.
Wife had this photo sent to her by a friend.
Been there many times and I don’t even drink. A landmark that’s still open.

Arnold's has been in business here in Cincy since 1861. It is a happy place.
The bathtub out front is the original one that Hugo Arnold used to make gin in.

Pepper is beautiful!
Got a new tool box today. While moving stuff from the old to the new I found these old plates. I was really stumped as to when and where I got them.
Then I remembered, the person I bought the car from had them on it.
PSA...when it takes two store workers to load your tool box and bottom roll around thing, get a neighbor to help you unload it. I didn't, and it wasn't too cool.

As Baxter Black says, 'Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because boy, if you ain't home by then you're in big trouble!"

I had a 1963 Mercury that I bought 1963 license plates from a license plate collector.
I had them issued to my car, they were considered personalize plates.
Being AA they were first issue plates for 1963 and 1101 is my oldest daughter's birthday.

You wont find that on my kitchen table.
