  WEATHERING  These images are of a stone wall that supports a small tunnel under some train tracks near the Stenner apartments and near the intersection of foothill/California. These pictures were taken  4/10/26 at about 1pm.  1. Given that this wall is located in a tunnel and is supporting the railroad which has been here for I would say 150+ years I think the weathering was mainly done by the past but is still happening due to some moisture from the drainage water that passes through and rain.  2. I think that the type of weathering done here is both bits chemical and physical. (chemical from water/moisture that can get on the walls and flow, and physical form the potential abrasion and general wear that comes from supporting the railroad for so long.)   3. I just think the weathering has occurred through mainly water flow , wind, and general wear. (you could make a point about freezing and thawing on really cold rain night but I wouldn't know) I kn...

 Entry:1 I found this rock a few days ago just forgot to make my post, I believe the date was 4/3/2026 at around 2pm I would say. I was walking home when it caught my eye. The location of this rock was near a lamp post in the Stenner apartments parking lot.    Some things to note about this rock is its color being red with some lighter hues of orange here and there. I saw other rocks in the area that looked sort of like this one but I don't think it necessary formed where I found it. Perhaps in the area but not at the exact location. The reason for this thinking is that this area is commonly traveled by students so maybe someone picked it up and moved it at random, also there is a small creek/waterway underneath the railroad that students cross and I have seem similar looking rocks around there.  Overall its is a neat rock.

Le mis book 2 chap 7

  Le Mis Book 2 Chapter 7     In this chapter, it showed us how potentially dangerous and scary jean Valjean can be. His old life and the prison system kind of broke him. He did what he did to survive even if it wants reasonable. He is said to be as strong as 4 men. This man if survival strikes him could be very dangerous.  He already had a hate for everyone and society so anything is possible.

Le Mis book 2 Chap 6

  Le Mis  Book 2 Chapter 6  This chapter told the story of what Jean Valjean was. Jean Valjean lost his mother and father and was only left with his sister. Later Jean had to provide for seven children and his sister making barely anything. Then he tried something desperate he broke through some glass and stole a loaf of bread he was caught and was sentenced to 5 years in jail. All he wanted to do was provide for his family but it didn't turn well for him. He was later charged multiple times for attempted escape, he was successful 2 times but the time he was free was not worth the time he got added. Then when his sentence was finally over he was a freeman. He severed 19 years for some stolen bread. I feel kinda bad for the guy he was just trying to stay alive but I mean it was his fault for trying to escape. Also, I think 5 years is too much for stealing bread but I guess he was charged a little more since he was a poacher as well.

Le Mis Book 2 Chap 5

  Le Mis Book 2 Chapter 5     I like how trusting the bishop is he doesn't really even know Jean Valjean and he allows him to sleep close by to him. I also kind of found it funny how Jean told the bishop that he could be an assassin for all he knew and then instantly fell asleep. It's nice.

Le Mis Book 2 Chap 4

  Le Mis Book 2 Chapter 4     I was a little confused for the first couple of seconds about what was being read but then I remember that this is a letter. I think it is nice that every couple of chapters another character can write a letter just telling us what is happening and what that character thinks about it.

Le Mis Book 2 Chap 3

  Le Mis Book 2 Chapter 3     Alright, so this chapter directly follows up the one before. The person that knocked on the Bishop's door we all knew was Jean Valjean. Jean was already thinking that the bishop would not let him stay either so he just stated to the bishop in a long rant who he was what his past was and why people didn't like him. Out of Jean`s surprise, the bishop welcomed Jean and he couldn`t believe it he was so thankful the bishop let him stay. Then the table was set and they had a nice dinner. I think this was a nice wholesome chapter.
