FYI, the camera adds 100 pounds. Have a good one at Church and thank Him for all that is good!
 
Today sucked, as usual... Stayed home till 11am or so, then went to work. I did smoke an El Rey Del Los Habanos on my way to work though, so I guess it wasn't a total loss :D

Look at it a different way. "Stayed home until 11am", be thankful you have a home. "Went to work", be thankful you have a job. "Smoked an El Rey De Los Habanos", be thankful you have enough money to buy and enjoy a cigar. If you are sleeping in a bed tonight, be thankful as well. Not trying to be an ass about it, but be thankful for all you have, imagine life without it. That would suck, as usual.:tu

Well said.
 
Slept a little late, then spent nearly two hours on the front stoop, 5 Vegas Gold torpedo, pot of Guatemalan coffee, dog laying right next to me, crisp Autumn air, occasional, gloriously warm bursts of sunshine through the clouds, wind rustling through the trees, sounds of a football game drifting through the open front door, a raven and a magpie, having an argument over whatever it is birds argue about, a slug, leaving his little silvery slug-track down the sidewalk, going about his not-very-urgent-whatever-slugs-do business. You just don't want it to ever end, but there's laundry and dishes, and-and-and... Just savor every minute of those times, get on about your duties, and look forward to that next peaceful, happy, smoky interlude. For a couple of bucks, I'm the king of the damned world, at least for a couple of hours. Isn't that what it's really all about?

Man, you know I've enjoyed things that kings and queens will never have
In fact, things kings and queens can't never get
And they don't even know about it
And good times? mmmmmmmmm-mmmh

Darn right my friend. I see you are from AK. I know some chick named Sarah from there. I 'm sending my folks on an Alaskan cruise for their 40th anniversary so I have 5 years to save up but already planning. What is a magpie? I had a piece of apple pie last night after dinner. Nice thoughts and well stated. Thank you for them.
 
hi all, today was the usual routine, left after visiting my family back at home, then left for my own pad, plan for tomorrow, sit back and relax, read the cs forums while watching tv and saving up for some stuff. it needs to be 8 sooner so friends will be on.

Cruise territory is Haines, Juneau, Ketchikan, the Inside Passage, etc. We just lump it all together as "Southeast". It's textbook temperate rain forest, and it's beautiful. Trees and more trees. Huge, gigantic, monster, Jurassic trees. I got to spend a week in Ketchikan several years ago, '99-2000-ish, and I loved it. It's a little... "quaint", and the people, some of them, can be pretty... "eccentric", but it was an awesome experience, I highly recommend. It's an area that is very... "historically dense", both White and Native. Trees, totem poles, trees, salmon, trees, gold, trees, lumber, more trees. They'll even get to sail up the very channel where the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere" isn't going to be. That's a great gift, and they'll never forget it.

"But I ain't never seen an elephant fly." No, they're some very cheeky, clever little black-n-white birds. I've seen them actually tag-team my dog. Drives her crazy. One will sit on the fence, where she can't get it, and it will squawk at her and distract her, while another one will swoop in and steal kibbles from her bowl. Then they trade off. It's hilarious to watch.

I actually have a client in Kenai, she says they have to take a plane and a hotel room just to shop at WalMart or they have to spend $11 for a gallon of milk from the bush people. It's gotta be great out there though.

I think she may have been pulling your leg, just a little. Not a lie, so much as an exaggeration. Kenai isn't very far from Soldotna, and they either have a WalMart, or have one planned, and they have a Fred Meyer's. Milk is probably $5-6 a gallon, compared to $3.50 or $4 here in Anchorage. And there's a road, and they probably know someone who is going to Anchorage just about daily. It's a pretty small town, and it's quite a ways from here, but it's not, like, Bethel, or anything. If they're taking a plane to Anchorage, it's probably because they own it, and don't have anything better to do. That happens a lot up here, actually. The private pilot community calls it "the $100 hamburger". Get in the plane and go somewhere for dinner, just because you can. Of course, that was when avgas was cheaper, so it's probably a $200 hamburger, now.

Three of the best days I've had in a long, long time, was last Labor Day weekend camping out at Cooper Landing. Sitting around, reading, smoking, drinking beer. I made the mistake of cooking up a couple pots of kick-ass Dutch Oven lamb stew, and may have gotten myself elected permanent camp cook. It's two hours from Anchorage, and about another hour beyond that is Kenai.
 
I spent my day watching my Cowboys lose to the Skins. I topped that off by posing for a pic in a Skins sweatshirt while smoking a White Owl grape. Beat that, for worst day :r

It's painful enough when they lose. When it's the Skins that beat them, it just heaps insult on top of the pain.

Well, she does in fact have a Wal-Mart going up where she lives (had to ask). It still sounds amazing to be out there. I know some of my buddies that give their wives the good 'ol "dutch oven" while they're sleeping.
