I think I know this guy's cousin... Can you believe it?? The Tadpole headset and iPod case for children - toddlers!! Earphones for kids! It's just disgusting! Here's a picture of it and more information. Today we went to Estes Park, Colorado, to see the elk and hear the elk bugling. Wow! I had no idea what a treat we were in for! When I said earlier that there are prairie dogs everywhere in Boulder, I wasn't kidding! Even the weeds in Boulder get into the hip green act... as evidenced by this "weed" which sprouted and grew in a drainpipe outside organic vegetarian restaurant VG Burgers. This must be a result of that new math we kept hearing about - or maybe just bad writing... We were in Mexico today, and I just had to share this with you: This was just too frightening to consider actually using (but not too much so to take pictures for you all). Not bad, for a picture taken with a "phone" camera (my Sidekick III), eh? "And we'll take your picture, and print it out..over and over until you surrender..." Quick...what does that logo in the lower right say? I have no idea why this car is in the state it's in. Perhaps you do? And yes, that's Saran wrap...lots and lots of Saran wrap. As I was getting in my car the rear view suddenly struck me... What is this bug that keeps appearing, just one or two at a time, in our sink? (See picture.) Yes, everybody walks all over me - and some of them even lay all over me! You'll never guess who came to visit in our yard today. You'll just have to see for yourself. The first in an unevenly-spaced series of pictures for which we ask you, "What is this?" I have to say that birds love our yard. And I love the birds. And I love my Digital Rebel (thank you, Honey!) Here are some pictures from today. As you know from earlier posts, this was our copper anniversary. What you, and my husband, didn't know, was that part of my gift to him this year was an overnight trip to historic Copperopolis, home of the copper rush in California, staying at the gorgeous Saddle Creek resort. I never before have had such an immediate and visceral response to a computer - except maybe to swear at one of Mr. Gates' unholy offspring. But there I was, looking at my poor Macbook, and feeling repulsed. Anyone who has looked into taking the anti-acne drug Accutane (Sotret Isotretinoin) knows that it causes birth defects. You can't help but know that it causes birth defects, because if you are a female, you have to sign up on a registry because it causes birth defects, get counseling so that you know that it causes birth defects, prove that you are not pregnant - because it causes birth defects, and prove that you are on birth control (because, you know, it causes birth defects), before you are allowed to have even one capsule. By popular demand (really), another pic of me showing my shorn for the common man: Today I cut all of my hair off. I don't just mean that I got a haircut. I mean I cut off all of my hair. I mean so short that, as I told one friend, I make Sinead O'Connor look like a long-hair. This picture is from my son's book, "The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Life", which includes real instructions about how to perform the Heimlick maneuver on your cat. Geeks on fire! Well, not really, but our hotel caught fire this morning, and there was much excitement! Here's our luggage, waiting to get off in DC. In taking this first leg of our 2x cross country train trip I have learned a few things which I will apply on any subsequent trip (starting with our trip back next week). Here are views, from our cabin on the train, of the Mississippi River. The view out the window from the California Zephyr isn't terrible. Mountains, mountains, and railroad tracks, as far as the eye can see. We're on day one of a cross-country train adventure! Heading through Price River Canyon on the way to Colorado. Remember the lady with the screw stuck through her head? Am I the only one to realize that this is clearly client development of the most overt kind? This is just so wrong! A Hello Kitty Fender Stratocaster!!! WTF is the deal with this ensemble?!? Today is my daughter Jessica's 20-somethingth birthday. So look what my amazing daughter did - for the first time - to celebrate: I compiled the “Be the Change” montage after happening to hear a version of I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing (done by the Veggie Tales, of all things). Sigh..even our son was able to immediately see what piece of punctuation was missing from this sign. My friend Charlotte Lee is in the Guiness World Book of Records for having the world's largest rubber ducky collection! "Plumber's Floss". I like that. It has a certain ring to it, and even without a picture, you know exactly what I mean. Plumber's Floss. Look for it on a clueless ass near you. Talk about unfortunate placement! As you can see, this advertisement in a Sprint / Nextel store touts how with their service you can go beyond borders. Not much to brag about, really, considering where they are located. How many things can you find wrong with this sign... which is in an educational exhibit for children? This morning we encountered an immense swarm of bees. When I say immense, I mean that this swarm would have given Alfred Hitchcock nightmares. It was like something from the movies, only instead of The Birds it was The Bees. I just registered the domain SoCuteICouldPuke.com. I had to. The bird made me do it. While at the physical therapist's office today, we noticed something unusual about the bathroom doors in the building. Specifically about the placard with the universal symbol for "this is the ladies' loo". In their own country they would be persecuted.. Here they take part in a parade celebrating America. Happy 4th of July everyone! While we were eating at Effed at Albuquerque, the pen they gave us to sign the check seemed to suggest we'd made a mistake in our choice of restaurants. At last! I have the wonderful Volvo wagon that I've always wanted! This picture was taken with my regular every-day lens, with a macro filter screwed onto the front. Pretty cool, huh? I really like taking artsy close-ups, as you may have noticed. I took this at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, in their awesome jellyfish exhibit. What is it about Starbucks that attracts people who dress like this? The good news is that if her fishnets threaten to fall down she has a bunch of safety pins with which to hold them up. They are all safely stashed in her earlobe. You couldn't pay for this kind of advertising for a bird house! What is the subtle message here? This is from the inside of the pueblo at Tuzigoot, looking out. This is the view with which the Tuzigoot Sinagua Native Americans were greeted every morning. I'm inordinately proud of the 'lawn' - can you guess how I made it? This is a picture of my dad (and me), a long time ago. I miss him terribly. Don't you wish that you had one of these near you? Have you ever have been this close to a giraffe? Ok, have you ever french kissed a giraffe? I win! Palo Alto takes things a little too far This one's for Jeff! 300 points to the first person to correctly identify this object. These waterlilies are in the koi pond at Balboa park in San Diego This close-up of a spider's web on our fence was taken with a macro filter on my Digital Rebel. There's been some acrimony between the EFF and AOL lately... The cutest little loudmouth I know 1) WTF is this chick wearing? And B) why? Geezus! Here it is, November 11th. And that's the point. It's November 11th. The body of Halloween isn't even cold yet, and Thanksgiving has not yet happened, and it looks like a Christmas cheer factory threw up all over Starbucks. Ho bloody ... Now, what kind of car do you think that someone who calls themselves "Mr. Money" would drive? On what kind of car would you expect someone to put a license plate proclaiming themselves to be "Mr. Money"? Ok, I confess to not ... Ok, they are actually boots. But they are so comfortable that they are like wearing slippers outdoors. And they have the cutest tree on the bottom of the soul. I really like Eugene, Oregon, Comfortable Shoe Capital of the United States. I just have to take a minute to rave about my new shoes. |
