I Have No Explanation

It would make a LITTLE more sense if I AT LEAST had a pool table. 

Warmer Weather Challenge®

USCGC Tackle

The Tackle and USCGC Bridle (Out of the frame) were breaking ice on the Penobscot River. It SEEMS early for this but they said the ice was 18 inches thick.

Going Once, Going TWICE!

So I'm at Chesley's Auction Gallery years ago and enjoying a rousing evening of competetive shopping, homemade pie, and steamed hotdogs with my wife of the moment and generally not paying enough attention because when I see THIS my hand shoots HIGH INTO the air, above the masses not worthy enough to own this little sign and I JUST hear Roger Chesley say "Who'll give me One Hundred Fifty for this sign?"

I look up at my IDIOT hand and can NOT pull it down fast enough. It's hanging up there like a balloon. You can practically see my wrist getting longer as I'm forcing my arm down but my hand stays up. I'm about to use my OTHER hand when Roger turns and sees me which earns 2 raised eyebrows from him. I finally get it down and he waits, then asks 'You ok?' earning a chuckle from the unworthy masses.

I ended up with the sign for 10 bucks. Posted for Thursday Challenge: Signs

Calf and a Half Outtake for HNT

Posted ONLY so that I will have something to post for the Best of HNT 2006. This is one of several attempts. You can sort of crop it in your mind and see how I ended up with that other shot.

Os listed this again since we got cut off last week, I think so I'll move it back to the top. Thanks Os!

It has Unlimited Local Minutes. A 12 foot range. But it doesn't take photos or surf the web. The contact list is the book it sits on, but the reception is great. Always 5 bars!

Oooooooh....this hurts.

I found this on another blog and thought I'd pass it along. :)

I have the energy to toss them up but not always the energy to catch them. My thanks to the father for throwing on cue AND catching.

A Ladybug in its Natural Environment II

That is if its Natural Environment is inside a bathroom sized Dixie Cup covered with the small pane of glass from a wallet sized picture frame I had on my desk.

MacroDay: Cheesey

Mmmm..cheese.

*wink wink nudge nudge*

(OH C'MON, serious MacroDay Gentle Participants! It's a LITTLE funny!)

Given THIS.

AND, it makes it cheesey in the literal AND colloquial meanings of the phrase. I think we have a winner here. Yep. I do. Heh heh.
