I don't leave for over 12 hours, but everything is packed.. (less the cooler and stuff what goes boom), and there's space leftover..
This either bodes really really good, or really really ill.. I'm hoping for "good" |

| I broke my nose |
[Jul. 14th, 2009|11:36 pm] |
And I have _NO_ idea how.
It was sore when I woke up one morning. And much, MUCh worse the next day.. purple at the bridge, very painful to do anything nose related. That lasted three days.
Today, I can actually touch it. And if I squeeze gently at the bridge, there's no pain, but quite a bit of crackling and odd sounds.
And I have NOT ONE CLUE how it happened. The wife swears she did not belt me in my sleep. I don't recall walking into anything solid, nor do I recall smacking my beak into the dresser next to the bed.
I'm _guessing_ I was trying to pull up the sheets and my hand slipped and I whonked myself.
This is odd. To say the least. |

So, apparently.. there are some people...
In the SCA....
Who totally lack the ability to socially interact...
with normal humans.
I'm FLOORED! Alert the media! |

I just found out Sam Maloof died. I'm partly a fan of his design work and vision in furniture, partly not a fan of it. But I am a HUGE fan of his dedication and hand-working of things that could be done with machine.
Many of my hand tools I learned to use because Sam did an article in a woodworking magazine or book, explaining how to use them.
He had vision, and the patience to make them work, even though wood is a very hard medium to express "vision" in a lot of the time. wood has a mind of it's own, is a living, breathing thing, and often doesn't play well with your plans.
heres to Sam. CHEERS! May you continue to inspire!

| In which we focus on scaly snakes... |

with no legs. If you don't like snakes, don't clicky de linkys!
I had been seeing more and more snakes lately, usually in the morning. So I've been paying attention more. Today, the 2 snakes I usually see weren't in their usual spots, sunning. So I was walking around, looking for them.. and the wood pile rustled. There were THREE on the woodpile, pretty as you please. So I got to snapping. This evening I realized they were in the folded carpet I use to shield the top of the wood from water, so I very gently lifted it back, and lo and behold.. at LEAST four in there. One took off before I could get the shot, but the three who remained were nice enough to behave. Also, got the "big guy" who seems a loner out front, getting ready to shed.

BTW.. if anyone wants these things for desktop wallpaper, let me know your resolution, and which picture you like, and I can crop/edit it so it's the right size. |

So, playing with Adobe Lightroom and RAW image files, I'm starting to like how much one can tweak a photo.
I think it punched this iris up just enough to make it pop, myself.
