NOTE:   If you're looking for things to steal/pawn, you won't find much:   we don't even own a TV or stereo; our main
              computer runs DOS and was built in 1995; my firearms (except for the pistol I keep handy) are in a safe for
              which you'll want a forklift and truck to carry away; our "silverware" and most of our clothes, dishes, and
              pots-n-pans are from Goodwill, the Grand ol' Trunk, and/or other thrift stores; and anything else we own
              that might have any value has been engraved for easy identification!   Sorry, but that's just our lifestyle.

A few pictures that can't be characterised other than "miscellaneous" http://people.cis.ksu.edu/~mcalhoun/Miscellaneous.html

See my "official" K-State photo (a.k.a. "ugly mug") and my "barbershop" quartet (a.k.a. "four ugly mugs") on my
KSU webpage http://www-personal.ksu.edu/~mcalhoun/index.html

Our lower pasture is in an official "100-year floodplain" of Wildcat Creek.   You can see what it has looked like
six or seven times since we moved here in 1972 at http://people.cis.ksu.edu/~mcalhoun/CreekFlood.html
(note that 1972-thru-2016 is nowhere near 100 years!)

I haven't taken the time to annotate these, but Wildcat Creek, which bends in an "ell" around the above lower pasture, has been eroding the "outside" of the curve for years, and the landowner whose land was being transferred to our side of the creek (which, according to Kansas law, changed his land into our land!-) hired someone to rip-rap his bank.   Unfortunately, the rip-rapping company decided to physically drag some of our new land back to the landowner's side of the creek (which, according to Kansas law, is not legal), and I just happened to be walking by (without my camera, unfortunately) while the back-hoe was digging.   I made a quick complaint to the rip-rapping company office, and they then atoned for their "sin" by rip-rapping our side of the curve, too.
