Crazy Memorial Day, Part II

As promised, the next bit of craziness for Monday.  I swear, it's like Wild Kingdom at our house these days.
Pink came upon this situation in the backyard last night.  It took him (the black rat snake) 30 minutes from start to finish.  For the 7 1/2 minute video version check out the YouTube link below (sorry, it's a little shaky).

Bad Day. Good Day.

Bad day.  Got completely soaked on my ride this afternoon.

Good day.  My new camera got here and it is effing sweet.  The inaugural picture is below.


W iPhone snap: DFM on Monday


Might be hard to see, but yes, those are some gnarly looking dreads we spotted at the farmers' market. Just one part of the craziness that was Memorial Day...more to come later on.

Pride & Prejudice

Author: Jane Austen
Category: stacks

So, the real reason I read this classic was so I could read this later on this summer without feeling like a cheater.

I have to admit, at first I was just going through the motions to assuage any impending guilt but it turns out I was pleasantly surprised at how much I truly enjoyed it. Towards the end all I really wanted to know was if Lizzie and Darcy would be together (as I assume everyone does) which kept me reading at a furious pace.

Gosh, who knew I was such a romantic?

lake. big lake.

I'm not a mind reader.  But if I were I might have known this was what Jack was thinking as he ominously pointed at the lake for the camera:
"I will now simultaneously prove that walking on water is a ridiculous notion while at the same time scaring the shiz out of my parents."

"Success!"
