Grand Canyon adventure
Nov. 1st, 2011 09:27 pmLJ, long time no see! A most excellent adventure was had in the Grand Canyon:
T, the day before descent, contemplating...always contemplating.
Mules ahoy! Just not for us. South Rim trail, lookin' down.
Total poser
Going across the Colorado R.
Home Sweet Home
Sunrise in the Canyon, from the bottom
Happened to see these guys over at Zion on the way home, right by the entrance:

Memorial Day 2011
May. 30th, 2011 03:22 pmI hadn't thought much about Memorial Day this year, just too busy I guess. Until my mom called (we live in the same state, but a few hours hours apart) and said the cemetary was taken care of. I knew what she meant: the area around my father's grave stone was mowed and flowers placed, along with the small flag and medallion signifying military service.
My father, "Pop" to us kids, spent 25 years in the Army and saw his way through 2 wars on several different continents. He was able to return home, but many of his friends and comrades did not. A lesson that wasn't lost to me as I made my own way through military service in the medical field.
So in the midst of family gatherings and fun in the sun, let's not forget those who gave their lives for our country....either past or present.
Here's Pop. He's the one in the middle of the 2 other officers in trenchcoats. He spent considerable time as a tank commander in his career, among other things. Happy Memorial Day!

The Pentagon's top-secret feline special-operations program, revealed. See here: http://www.slate.com/id/2293232/
Caught part of Lady Gaga's most recent "Monster" concert on TV last night. The laughing started a few minutes into the show. Then I remembered that 'back in the day', when I saw David Bowie do it in concert, it was all serious business. Well. Hm.
With this lovely crabapple tree. Full of bumbles and honey bees:
7 Things I Want to See From SPN...Plus 1
Apr. 29th, 2011 07:33 pmAn article from Buddy TV on 7 Things I Want to See on Supernatural: http://www.buddytv.com/articles/supernatural/7-things-i-want-to-see-from-su-40134.aspx
I agree with all seven, except perhaps the More Meta one...DNW a SPN Musical of any kind. That being said if they make one, I'll watch it. My Plus 1? I want the boys in different clothes. I mean can't they throw on a Henley and just go? Without the extra six layers? Maybe a short sleeved t-shirt (see after the cut). Yeah, I can be shallow like that...and they look so good in different clothes:
( Oh, look... )

Conversation about SPN Season 7 Renewal
Apr. 26th, 2011 10:49 pmMe: Hey, Supernatural’s been renewed for next year!
Husband: Is that the show with the car?
Me: Erm, yeah.
Husband: I didn’t like that pedo-dog episode.
Me: Okaaay.
Husband: It weirded me out. You know Sophie can’t come into the bathroom anymore.
Me: All riiiight.
Husband: I thought one of ‘em went to hell.
Me: They both did.
Husband: Who did?
Me: Both of the brothers. Both of ‘em went to hell.
Husband: What happened to the car?
Me:
Um....guh.

But srsly, is this dude for real? He makes my teeth sweat.

First signs of summer at Mags' house: asparagus poking out of the ground. Found a 'block' of wild asparagus in our cornfield a few years ago and we re-planted it into a garden area--voila--asparagus every spring-summer. The sprouts are always first on the scene. :D
A second sign of summer: getting a down and dirty lesson on the riding mower and the essence of mowing in straight lines (haven't been on one in 2 years, and no, it's not like a bicycle). Hubby later apologized, saying he's not a very good teacher. Hm. I agreed with him there and chocked up his less than enthusiastic manner to the fact he'd been putting polyurethane on the new cabinets he's making without a mask. Hmph, men and their straight lines...I rather enjoyed my free form method.

Physics of Clown Cars
Apr. 6th, 2011 02:35 pmFiled under the stuff I never really thought about, until now. LOL'ed all the way thru the article found here:
http://real-us.autos.yahoo.com/articles/autos_content_landing_pages/1800/the-physics-of-clown-cars
Seems scientific enough (hee):
An American Standard Clown (ASC) stands five feet eight inches tall and weighs 158 pounds, according to the DOT's Office of Circuses, Zoos, and Carnivals—and possibly Wikipedia. The SAE passenger volume of a 2011 Ford Focus sedan is 93.4 cubic feet, and the trunk accommodates 13.8 cubic feet. Of course, that rises with the removal of the seats and the interior panels, so let's call it 120 cubic feet of Total Clown Space (TCS). Theoretically, about 40 clowns should fit into a Focus.
However, how many clowns go in is a mix of Clown Politics (CP), Clown Size (CS), Clown Flexibility (CF), General Survivability (GS), and the critical Maximum Clown Hilarity (MCH) quotient.
Unfortunately, and contrary to accepted folklore, clowns need to breathe. Discomfort is to be anticipated, but General Sur¬vivability demands some consideration of physiological needs. Moreover, the overriding concern of anyone packing clowns into a car must be that the result is Maximum Clown Hilarity. Not only must the clown car dispense clowns, it must also disgorge props such as expandable luggage, beach balls, and two-person giraffe outfits with spring-loaded necks. These props cut into the space available for clowns.
How many clowns (X) that can be stuffed into any Clown Car (CC) therefore can be expressed in this simple equation:
X= Volume of CC/[(ASC)(CP+CS+GS)]

Why Dogs Bite People
Apr. 5th, 2011 09:01 amMy sister-in-law sent these, knowing my penchant for a good dog picture. Here's the first reason why dogs bite people (more under the cut):
Ever seen a dog walk in these booties? It's not pretty...funny sometimes, but not pretty.
( WOOF... )

Update on Bronx Zoo Cobra
Mar. 31st, 2011 09:36 pmFrom CBS News: The approximately 24-inch (60-centimeter) snake was found coiled in a dark corner of the reptile house, about 200 feet (60 meters) from where it had escaped from a holding cage outside the exhibit into a space described by officials as a labyrinth of pipes and equipment.
"As you can imagine, we are delighted to report that the snake has been found alive and well," the zoo's director, Jim Breheny, said during a news conference as he stood in front of a huge picture of the snake projected on a screen.
Erm...yeah, I bet. Just keep your snakes inside the zoo...thank you very much.
I wonder if the BZC will be able to continue his twitter...does the reptile house even have wi fi? And how does he do it without thumbs?
