Did you know that that it is a scientific fact that there is an inverse ratio between the amount of time a geezer has been retired and their empathy for working folks?
I love cool weather too. I saw on the forecast it’s supposed to get down to 49 F on Wednesday night. This winter I just want a little snow and maybe a small glacier by the house.
Giddy says she doesn’t care that it’s dark, muggy, and raining, we should go walk. As soon as I work out, exactly who is the alpha in this family, I guess we’ll go.
FYI: I generally don’t do pics on Mondays (SN), Tuesdays (for some reason that has do with flowers), and Thursdays (FM). Sometimes I do on Fridays and sometimes I don’t.
Here’s a shot I took on my walkabout yesterday. I love those teensy mushrooms. They are tough subjects. Those palm tree-like things are moss. That’ll give you an idea just how teensy this little shroom was.
Mornin’, FM. Thanks. I’m doing fine this morning. It’s going to be another great day here, complete with temps in the 80’s. I never got past initial cleaning/prep of my mushroom booty from yesterday, so I have some work ahead of me today, but it’s a labor of love for sure. Maybe I’ll get to pickling the last of my cukes later. Another picture safari is definetely a possibility. Have a great day.
Hope everyone is doing great this fine Monday. I am off work today but will be going to the memorial service later and then a meeting tonight. I have decided jeans and a political t-shirt would honor Ann Richards more than me be uncomfortable in dress clothes.
LOL Olivia… there was a day when I could dance. Man, that movie brought back some 80s memories. I think I dragged mybrother to that movie at least 6 times. (I could only go to the theatre if I took my 7yr younger bro along)
After less than a year in the Army, enlisted due to a judge nudge – he stole a car, Hendrix was discharged for ‘behavior problems”. “He was deemed an incompetent soldier, more interested in his guitar than in his duties.” (above link)
Even in the upper level in my office, Jimi rules.
It`s a tapestry that hangs over a window & looks three dimensional in the daytime.
Jimi had a heart & mind much larger, sweeter & softer than a lot of people
seem to know. I think he was in reality an unlikely [in some people`s minds] peace activist. “Imagine” if he & Lennon were here now. http://img76.imageshack.us/img76/2308/jimmiinmyclutteredofficedscn5020iu3.jpg
Yes, I do remember your sig line. I`ve seen him in interviews & on the History channel with blues players & was impressed with his intellectual
& peaceful take on things.
Olivia, maybe you already do this… but I’ve seen artists selling their work on tile coasters. And I think your flowers would be IDEAL… you could make entire sets due to seasons-holidays or themes. Winter, Spring, Summer and LadyBug Humpin’.
I see them all over, the tile coasters… even the store I work out sales artists tiles. I don’t buy em because I always think, “Olivia’s would be so much better”. I’d buy em for myself and guests.
Why Olivia. I do believe those are two different pairs of beetles on two different peony buds. I think that all those georgous flower pictures that you take are just to pass the time until the REAL subject matter presents itself. 🙂

My sympathies to Olivia and MaryB on returning to work after their vacations. 🙁
Good morning Andi.
Poor Mary and Olivia. Hah! :~)
Did you know that that it is a scientific fact that there is an inverse ratio between the amount of time a geezer has been retired and their empathy for working folks?
So in the next 10 years I should be taunting them about going back to work after a vacation.
What the heck. I’ll just start now. 🙂
Is you weather still on the wonderful side?
Start now? too late.
It’s going to be rainy today and a little muggy but after that the weather is going to be in the 60s. I love cool weather.
Yeah I guess it is too late. 🙂
I love cool weather too. I saw on the forecast it’s supposed to get down to 49 F on Wednesday night. This winter I just want a little snow and maybe a small glacier by the house.
Giddy says she doesn’t care that it’s dark, muggy, and raining, we should go walk. As soon as I work out, exactly who is the alpha in this family, I guess we’ll go.
Later.
See ya Andi. Once you figure out the Alpha thing, let SN know. 🙂
Although I think maryb might have a bit more difficulty considering the whole time jet lag thing …
Oh, and here I am in the morning cafe! 😉
which we cut short when it started to rain really hard.
Yup, here you are and I don’t post a pic. 🙁
I was expecting to see a great Andi photo and then I get soon-to-be soggy cereal cafe … lol 🙂
FYI: I generally don’t do pics on Mondays (SN), Tuesdays (for some reason that has do with flowers), and Thursdays (FM). Sometimes I do on Fridays and sometimes I don’t.
Good morning Olivia.
Just got back. What are you doing up so early? 🙂
Good morning!
(I’m trying to be cheery here … ugh)
Btw, did you visit my b this morning? I’m trying to keep up w/ IVG! 🙂
You’re always in a good mood. I can’t imagine Olivia grumpy. 🙂
Haven’t been yet, but going over right now.
And now I’m off to battle rush hour traffic … 🙁
I’ll talk w/ you later. Have a good day!
Well be careful driving in the rush hour traffic and since you’re so grumpy, it’s alright to shoot someone the bird while driving today. 🙂
Morning Andi, FM, Olivia. Just a quick stop here then off to a county commissioner meeting. FM, I’d rather be slacking on this soggy day:-(
Good morning Indianadem.
Tell ya what. I’ll slack for you until you get back. I’m always willing to help out. 🙂
I agree w/ you — rather be slacking here too. 🙂
OK I’ll slack for you too. So much slacking and so little time. 🙂
Here’s a shot I took on my walkabout yesterday. I love those teensy mushrooms. They are tough subjects. Those palm tree-like things are moss. That’ll give you an idea just how teensy this little shroom was.
Morning Nag. That’s a great marco shot. I would have never guessed the palm tree-like things are moss.
How’re ya doing today?
Mornin’, FM. Thanks. I’m doing fine this morning. It’s going to be another great day here, complete with temps in the 80’s. I never got past initial cleaning/prep of my mushroom booty from yesterday, so I have some work ahead of me today, but it’s a labor of love for sure. Maybe I’ll get to pickling the last of my cukes later. Another picture safari is definetely a possibility. Have a great day.
Got to get going. See everybody later.
Hope everyone is doing great this fine Monday. I am off work today but will be going to the memorial service later and then a meeting tonight. I have decided jeans and a political t-shirt would honor Ann Richards more than me be uncomfortable in dress clothes.
Let’s DANCE!!!!!
Don’t know if you caught this earlier, DJ. Happy Job Congrats!
Thanks KMc!!!! There was a super write up in the ORegonian about the company I’ll be with on the front page of the Business section Sunday.
Health coverage A basic human right
Did you enjoy your movie? Did you all get up and dance?
LOL Olivia… there was a day when I could dance. Man, that movie brought back some 80s memories. I think I dragged mybrother to that movie at least 6 times. (I could only go to the theatre if I took my 7yr younger bro along)
Mornin’ folks. Hope all is well.
Hey there PsiFi,
All is well.. just in a “BLUE” mood. Thinking of Jimi Hendrix
Jimi Hendrix, died on this day, 1970 saw that MLW was missing him, too.
After less than a year in the Army, enlisted due to a judge nudge – he stole a car, Hendrix was discharged for ‘behavior problems”. “He was deemed an incompetent soldier, more interested in his guitar than in his duties.” (above link)
Even in the upper level in my office, Jimi rules.
It`s a tapestry that hangs over a window & looks three dimensional in the daytime.
Jimi had a heart & mind much larger, sweeter & softer than a lot of people
seem to know. I think he was in reality an unlikely [in some people`s minds] peace activist. “Imagine” if he & Lennon were here now.

My sig line usually reads…
When the power of love overcomes the love of power; the world will know peace” Jimi Hendrix.
Yes, I do remember your sig line. I`ve seen him in interviews & on the History channel with blues players & was impressed with his intellectual
& peaceful take on things.
Bush says war is key to peace…
I think art and music are. I think that is why the fundamentalists are always after the arts.
And it was always a reason for me to not trust Gore… due to his wife Tipper Gore. She scares the hell out of me.

I’ve got a couple of medical appts. today so I’ll be out until mid afternoon. I’ll be around to open a happy hour.
Olivia, maybe you already do this… but I’ve seen artists selling their work on tile coasters. And I think your flowers would be IDEAL… you could make entire sets due to seasons-holidays or themes. Winter, Spring, Summer and LadyBug Humpin’.
Your comment just made me laugh out loud in my cube … 🙂
hehe … 🙂
And no, I’ve never thought of that — tile coasters — thanks for the idea!
I see them all over, the tile coasters… even the store I work out sales artists tiles. I don’t buy em because I always think, “Olivia’s would be so much better”. I’d buy em for myself and guests.
Permanent and functional Art – it’s uber in.
Why Olivia. I do believe those are two different pairs of beetles on two different peony buds. I think that all those georgous flower pictures that you take are just to pass the time until the REAL subject matter presents itself. 🙂
Now me, I go looking for the failures — like this guy who needs to get a gps to help him figure out the waypoints for proper orientation.

With all my heart – thank you.
updated diary
testing – going back to my old sig line…
with comments, shouldn’t the posts include some offers of phenomenal sex? 😛
sorry – I didn’t mean to make that extra post… I have no idea why my signature line won’t change back to my old Jimi one…
curiouser and curiouser
And I was just trying to get you to make a signature lewd comment.
I”m making plenty of lewd comments while trying to change my settings… ACK..
btw you’ve got PLEA-mail 🙂
got your plea mail and made the change
So do I look good as you?
You look wiser 🙂
but I was feeling a bit taller. 🙂
Taller?? I’m 5’5.5″
oh my gosh… my son has surpassed me… he woke up last week and he was taller than me. Over night! LOL
well it seemed overnight.
Again thank you.
Hey three more inches! And my spam tells me how important a few additional inches can be.
Really? I get the “shrink your penis overnight” ones.
I gotta go pick him up at high school
Be back in a bit XOXOXOX
I have no idea why it wasn’t working for me – other than I possibly drink way too many pastel colored drinks…
Thank you so much. I felt naked without my Jimi hanging down there… ;D
The remains of a 10,000 year old republican were found, and as you can see, they looked the same back then as they do today.
I had to share this!!! I just got it in an email. LOL
you evil fella.
LOL I am going to try and use it for a t-shirt design. LOL
