FYI I was proposed to on Hurrican Ridge in the Olies 🙂 Preceeded to slide down the trail on my ass from shock. Great memory.
Honey remember when I asked you to marry you – you fell back because you were trying to swipe the ants off your legs and you fell assbackward and continued to slide, like, ten feet down the trail. …
That’s more than a bit much for me, but then as an ex-Christian in the Bible belt I may just be sensitive to the issue.
His (over-)religiosity wouldn’t necessarily in itself keep me from voting for him, depending on the issues and the other candidates, though.
Is this necessary, at least for now, to win in parts of Ohio (i.e. Cincinnati)? I find it over-the-top and pandering. It would likely be a vote-with-a-clothespin-on-my-nose moment, but I’ve had a lot of those over the years and my expectations are steadily diminishing. 🙁
…because every time I’ve been on the Olympic Peninsula, it’s been pouring rain, raining hard, slightly raining, gently raining, drizzling or preparing to rain.
You obviously did not pay the “no rain” surcharge when you entered the park. Since there is no entrance fee at OLYM, they have to raise extra funds somehow.
Actually, your best bet, if you want a dry hike in Olympic, would be in the rain shadow on the east side or the coast hike in July or September.
Harruuuuuumph. SYBIL, where are you when I need you? (Sybil lives on Vancouver Island and can vouch for last Sunday’s weather!)
Actually, we’ve had something of a drought this summer.
The Elwha River — on which our city depends for its water supply — is so low that we’ve all had to conserve. I catch water when I shower, or wash vegetables, and pour it outside on the flowers and shrubs.
We were very worried about fires, a most unusual occurrence in the Olympic National Park, but lucked out.
I don’t have a bird bath so have been putting out my big bowls filled with water for the birds and other critters. (The naughty teenage raccoons play in it at night, put rocks and twigs in it, and end up spilling it all. Sometimes I put grapes in the water so they can dunk for them… they love that.)
Most everything else from the other two and the boxes from tampopo is out there being used — haven’t opened this one yet but will do so before the kidlets get home!
Just wanted to let you know so that you can tell your post office how much they SUCK!!
😉
Assuming I was an ambitious prosecutor and was about to indict a very high figure in the Executive branch, and I wanted to time the announcement of the indictment for the maximum possible PR bang for the buck, when would I break the story?
(I know I am dreaming of a really big super frog march, and I know my hopes may be dashed, but it is like playing the lottery. Only with the lottery I know the day that they draw the numbers, which led to my question).
given the fact that the GJ expires at the end of Oct., I think an appropriate time to announce the indictments would be Nov. 2…
my B-day, Dia de los Muertos, [Day of the Dead], and the 1 year anniversary of the re-election <cough> of you know who…
I’ve been waiting for 5 goddamned years for the straw that’s going to break these motherfuckers back…I can wait another 4 weeks. Hell, it gives me hope, and there’s not an overabundance of that at Casa Dada these days.
He’s going to talk about how BLOGS ARE DESTROYING AMERICA!
Bill O’Reilly will be attacking Bloggers tonight/FOX Transcripts
O’Reilly will take his persecution complex to another level tonight. This is only a prediction, but the theme probably will be the evil lefties/Nice righties. It should be a hoot. Michelle Malkin will not be on who I initially thought would talk about the blogs. Try to guess who he’ll have on to prove his point. By the way, reader Jackson found that the FOX on-line transcript of O’Reilly’s debate with Clark goes like this:
something about it screams BLAIR WITCH!!! 🙂

ACK! 🙂
The photo reminds of works by the artist Bev Doolittle.

Note the trees.
for taking me from Blair Witch to Doolittle 🙂
That’s lovely, striking art.
How much is OK with you?

So this must have been taken somewhere else. ;0
Maybe those are Colorado aspens, connected at the roots and getting ready to turn as one?
or just,
Affected?
If a tree turns in the forest, does anybody get indicted?
Who is she channeling? Every comment is funnier than the last.

But bring your rain gear anyway.

With an owl looking on, photographer Andy Skinner snapped this picture of the crescent Moon over Yosemite National Park in October 2004
I just came across this shot. I fell in love with it.
The Olympic Peninsula looks like a place worth hiking.
A friend who’s a lobsterman, and thus spends his entire working life immersed in nature, calls that kind of thin crescent moon “God’s fingernail.”
Beautiful picture.
I found a new place to waste valuable time: Games for the Brain. We liberal elites need to exercise our precious craniums.
outsourced bomb squad for Homeland Security….and here they are
work. I think I need some help here.
LOL!
That’s great! What beauties they all are!
Hey, I forgot to ask you, how did it go with getting the new one? How did the lady respond to the email you sent her from my house?
Tracy! Are those all yours?
Wow, somebody with more dogs than us! How’d you get them so tired?

A new “America’s Most Wanted” poster. Enjoy!

That is a loooonnnnngggg wait. But, yes. I guess that would be very fitting.
