On a related note my Goodwill habit had a nice payoff. In a giant pile of junk I found an Alfred Ray Burrell etching of Half Dome. There is no image on the internet but he does have a permanent exhibit at FAMSF.
ReplyDeleteHow did you acquire all that junk?
DeleteCool. You could take it to an
ReplyDeleteANtiques Road show.
I've gather some clothes bedding and books I haven't used for ages. To give to good will. It's stI'll hard to get rid od them. I'm a bit of a pack rat I think.
ReplyDeletePresident Donald Trump announced plans to cut the park service’s budget by 12.9 percent in 2017
ReplyDeleteI disagree. the $2.55b budget Trump proposes is the largest ever with the exception of a one time spike in 2009. Our legitimate "disagreement" is over things like EPA overlap and new acquistions.
ReplyDeleteI think that Trump should be forced to live like an ordinary rich person,.like Rob

Mid 49s and clear. Only a trace of smoke haze to the north and west.
ReplyDeleteBelow 30F in the shed but up to almost 50F in a half hour. Still dressed like one of the Canadian fellers way up north. Got to get the skid steer ready and put some chains on it as we might get a little snow for Christmas! No more yard work!

You or a friend hunted it.
ReplyDelete??
DeleteI don’t hunt. Lil Bro and I put 200 rounds through his new PK 9mm last week but bullets and Bambi don’t work for me.
ReplyDeleteMiddle child coworker provided the burgers.
Just wondered how you knew he had 8 points
ReplyDeleteThe vacuum sealed frozen block had all the information about the meat. Animal, region, date, etc. Very considerate. And yes, I am being very careful.

The fire seems to be mostly over with at this point, but I can still see some smoke out over the mountains. Probably backfires to clear out remaining fuel.

ReplyDeleteIn the I'm glad I didn't live then department. King Henry VIII's bed was basically straw. His minions jumped m up and dow on it to make sure it had no lumps and then put pads and sheets and blankets over it. The straw just had to have bugs.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention he died in great pain at 56.
The "condition" of his legs is far too gruesome to describe here. One wonders if the great houses had but a little more cleanliness.
ReplyDeleteBTW, considering his likely aliments 56 was a good run.
