Oops. Spoke too soon...







Of course. What was I thinking?



Happy Halloween. Woof.




Hmmm...I don't see too many cats in costumes. I think it would be very interesting (and scary) trying to stuff a kitty into a banana outfit.

"Hi, Gourd-on."

The Safest Costume Ever!

Gee, I wish I had this magic condom dress to wear to work today. I would look hot.

Return of the Jedi


So, Jedi came to visit at the beach (and redwoods). She was here with her mom, and it proceded to stay foggy for three days.
Of course, it turned beautiful right after they left.
Such is life on the beautiful, wild ocean and rivers. I have more I will put up later...gotta gets off to work...

Obama Llama (and other odds 'n ends)





Well, if you are going to be a damn liberal tree hugger, at least make it a redwood.
Then there is the Obama Llama.
And grampa feeling up the wooden statue obviously offended Little C's delicate feminist sensibilities, and she later explained to him the dangers of objectifying women. Even wooden ones.
Finally, both Little C and Grampa had a frightful moment when their "Trees of Mystery" cable car started with a jolt. Count on gramma and her camera to capture that moment. It is perfect.



Even more Little C...







I have more to come from when Jedi visited, followed by Olga's mini-me. I mean, Alex...really...

Alex did not believe those squrrels existed, since they didn't make an appearance when she visited.
As if I have imaginary squirrels. Geez.
Now, chipmunks I could understand.








S'more Little C visit...










Gramma has sent me s'more photos lof Little C's visit...so I be sharing...

Sarah Palin? Is that you?

"Because the -- all which is on the table begins to address the big cost drivers. For example, how benefits are calculate, for example, is on the table; whether or not benefits rise based upon wage increases or price increases. There's a series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting those -- changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to get what has been promised more likely to be -- or closer delivered to what has been promised. Does that make any sense to you? It's kind of muddled." --President Bush explaining his plan to save Social Security, Tampa, Fla., Feb. 4, 2005

Well, OF COURSE that makes sense, you big silly!

Illiterate? Write for help.

Dang. Won't be the same without him.

Be Happy?

Sheesh...

I drive past the Tsunami Warning sign and the WAMU bank that has failed...to my place of work where my neighbor down the hall spends his day yelling about scuba diving and pickles (in between hollering "help meeeeeeeee" as if he were falling slowly down an embankment)...to make it home where the program "Apocolypse How" is on Discovery Channel talking about how Yellowstone is going to explode...and my parents think the web bots are predicting a "major seismic event" in December...to watching the news which leaves a person wondering if we will be burning our paper currency soon for warmth...and I have to go to Portland for a training that I planned to attend to take care of family business that now I probably have to attend alone....and I have a large blemish on the side of my face...and the movie I want to see isn't even playing around here...and I miss my daughter...

But I am gonna sing-a and danc-a, and probably make a really cool mix CD-a later.

Are we done yet?


"My fellow Americans. I am going to now talk to you as if the baseline level of intelligence among our populace is comparable to a laundry hamper. I will utilize small syllables, so that I also have a chance to understand what I am saying....and I will hope that my current charisma level does not put you directly in a coma...and I am very serious as you can tell from my concerned facial expression. This is no time for bi-partican bickering, and I have decided to deploy troops and tanks directly into Congress to stop the whining-those damn Democrats. I'm the deciderer, and it is important that we get economic securification, no matter how many lives it takes. Thank you. God bless America, and please bend over."
