    My neigborhood is a mess.

    He looked kinda fat but maybe all raccoons look like that.

    My neigborhood is a mess.

    I just now went down to get something to drink and there was a raccoon sitting on that back porch step, where the coyote was. He was looking inside for a treat so I threw 3 slices of whole wheat bread for him. He just sat down and ate them. I had thrown some pie crusts out earlier today for...

    My neigborhood is a mess.

    I read the history of the Black Forest. They say the lumber for every house in Denver and all the rail road tracks came from cutting that forest 100 years ago. So that's all new from 100 years ago. I have some very tall conifers in my landscape that I planted 25 years ago. The best time to...

    Pearls of wisdom from your dad.

    If we were working on some family project like a deck and my brother and I would be arguing about how to go about it my dad would say, "Do something, even if it's wrong." There's a lot of wisdom in that. I think of it when I'm stalled on a project. The only thing I can think of that I've told...

    We have heard of Cars and Coffee, how about....

    I stopped drinking when my kids were old enough to notice a difference. That was 30 years ago. I hate the taste of any alcoholic drink now. I'm addicted to Diet Coke now like a certain politician. I noticed when I was lit I was more friendly, much like KD is saying. I realized I didn't need...

    My neigborhood is a mess.

    Across the valley from me is the United States Air Force Academy. They have 6000 acres of forested mountain side. That place is like a wildlife preserve!

    My neigborhood is a mess.

    I have to repost the coyote at my back door wanting in. We have lots of wildlife because we're next to a large Pine Forest. Sprinkled with $5 million dollar homes. (Not mine.) It's called Black Forest, Colorado. The bottom photo is the ranch which in a different edge of the forest.

    and how does he still have a license?

    We're glad to be rid of him in Colorado. Now get rid of Dad.

    Did Sidney actually do that burnout?

    OMG I didn't notice the front tires were smoking. I wonder what I was concentrating on? My high school car was a '66 Mustang fastback 289. I wish I could afford one now.

    Did Sidney actually do that burnout?

    She forgot the hood pins but I'm okay with that.

    Crappy cars that have become classics.

    All I see the younger Generation is interested in is trucks. That's a terrible sentence structure but you get it. Young guys even like my '91 F-150 shop truck. It's got about 115K miles on it and runs and runs. Dash hasn't cracked, seats still look new. I wonder how many hailstorms its been...

    Crappy cars that have become classics.

    I would love to have a Smokey and The Bandit Trans Am. With all the gold pinstriping. Easy enough to make it fast. Remember we have the '81 Camaro BumbleBee replica. It gets so many positive comments, I think because everybody knows what a Camaro is. It's a real POS but so was the movie car...

    The Prince of Darkness won't be down for breakfast

    Babylon Bee had an article about Ozzy telling St.Peter he was just kidding about the whole Satanist thing.

    Crappy cars that have become classics.

    I like 3rd Gen Corvettes but everyone I've owned was a rattle trap. Even our '71 Challenger is very rough and full of rattles. I wonder how much better they were when new. But more to my point what cars were pretty awful when new and have gained collector status?

    A second heavy blanket on the bed tonight.

    49 degrees at 8:00. Highs in the low 70's for a few days. I love it.

    Do you have any weird first names in your family?

    My dad's name was Carroll, like Shelby but it doesn't stop there. I had an aunt Lolorene uncle Ora one on side. The Norwegian side gets weirder. Mom is Haldis. Aunts; Ingrid, Ingaborg, Gunnborg, Agnes. Uncles; Gjermond, and Jon. Grandparents; Mikkel and Ingrid then Charles and Cora...

    WE BURIED OLD MR. BOBCAT TODAY

    Bobcat looked like this bobcat with but with a thicker build and a much heavier neck. Long tail not bobbed. Maybe he was a hybrid.

    WE BURIED OLD MR. BOBCAT TODAY

    I had to bury The Bobcat today. He was a huge male cat that looked like he swallowed a grapefruit his neck was so thick with muscles. Fighting scars all over him. If Bobcat was in the mood you could scratch his forehead, then he would bite you if you quit. He just came in from his nightly...

    Some back porch pics.

    The wildlife people cautioned against doing things like kids being bent over playing in a sandbox. One day Grandma is going to get it out tending her flower bed. At 95 I don't think she can put up much of a fight.
