Saw on the Yahoo mainpage this evening that an Italian priest is trying to organize an online beauty pageant for nuns.

I mentioned it to Karen and being the wiseacre I am, asked if she thought there would be a swimsuit competition.

Without looking at me or even batting an eye, she replied "Of course there will, but they'll be doing it out of habit"......................

ROFLMAO!!

Hey- everybody needs a hobby, right?

Actually, I'm pretty damn proud of the kid!

It's Hump Day, my friends!!

Everything is downhill from here!!

And

WOOHOO

ALANIS!!

ME LIKEE!!!

A doe with two fawns was crossing the parking lot today, so I grabbed my camera to get some wildlife pics. Didn't really notice at first, but when I zoomed in I saw that the doe has a badly broken right front leg and was just barely able to walk.

Looks like she's been hit by a car, maybe? A daily thing around here.

My first thought was to put the poor thing out of it's misery. but then, what about the two fawns?

They managed to get across the lot, and about a half hour later were grazing on the hillside right behind our building.

Never could get all three of them in the same shot.

So, what do you think? Should I do the humane thing, and take the doe out?

Or just let nature take it's course?

Any advice, Randy?

Or anybody?

Hope Jose' is not treating you too badly this morning?

Go here for her tequila fueled musings.

I'm really glad now that I didn't make the Olympic Drinking Team after all (finished fourth in the Lager Chug from an old Boot portion of the trials, cost me my position). Without a McDonald's somewhere close, I would probably starve to death in Beijing!

Enjoy! Or not!

OK, the corn I could handle!

And might give the stew a taste. After all, I did eat dog tacos and monkey ball soup in Thailand!

Yummmmm!!

OK. If you're there, it's late, you've been sampling some local beverages, and you're very, very HUNGRY..............

would you, could you?

Tell me true.

Hadn't seen this before. Canadian Geese, in this area, usually congregate at Greenbo Lake State Park, about 15 miles away.

So much so, and so many, that the beach area at Greenbo has been closed for years now due to polluted waters from the droppings.

They are pretty though.

I'm probably getting too close for their comfort

They're getting restless!

HAH!

I could actually feel the "propwash" from their wings when they took off!

Cool!

Thought I would share a video of our nephew Justin playing bass cover for the Beatle's "Hello Goodbye".

If you're not nice, I'll post some of his audio clips next!!

LOL

Actually, he's sent me two CDs that are really pretty good.

I haven't had a lot of time for Xanga lately. At 60, these 12 and 13 hour days I'm putting in at work for the past 3 1/2 months are very, very slowly wearing me down and taking their toll.

I try to get on for a few minutes in the mornings while I'm here alone to read a bit and comment when I can find time. I really am not trying to ignore anyone, it's just that there is so little time. By the time I get home in the evenings, have a few beers, get a little something to eat, a few more beers(haha), and spend a little 'quality time'(haha again) with Karen, I've pretty much had it for the day!

3am comes damn early every day!

Bear with me, please.

Really don't know how long this is going to go on, either.

Thought for a while about doing a "ISNORTTHENOSELUCIFER" and closing the account, but really don't want to do that. Too many wonderful friends on here, wouldn't want to lose any one of them.

BTW, I miss having Gabe around to annoy everbody with his recommending everything and everyone(HA!). Has anyone heard from him lately?
