Hiya everybody! Hope y'all are well.

My 39th birthday is approaching, and after reading an article this morning, I learned that I can take solace in one, single fact. I AM NOT A GRANDFATHER!

Last part of my vacation - CA Poppy Reserve By Carol , 4/20/08, 10:17am Travel, Hiking & Exploring (9 Comments in the Thread)

On the way home from Mt. Diablo I decided to stop at the California Poppy Reserve. It was a windy afternoon so the poppies were closed but there were few people out and about and the clouds in the sky made for a glorious afternoon. I hiked the north and south Antelope Trails as well as part of the trail up to Antelope Butte.

My friend Robin By Larry Levy , 4/14/08, 3:37pm General Discussion (5 Comments in the Thread)

I’ve been trying to get my mind around another loss of a good person to this terrible disease known as leukemia. I feel especially bad for Robin’s young daughter who must now grow up with only memories of her mom.

We need to constantly keep getting the word out, that there are other cancers, in addition to breast and prostate cancer that desperately need our research dollars.

Beyond that, I am frankly at a loss for words.

There is a great...

4th part of my vacation - Big Sur By Carol , 4/6/08, 2:30pm Travel, Hiking & Exploring (1 Comment in the Thread)

I always enjoy going to Big Sur because the scenery is just flat out incredible, so when I decided to go up to visit my sister in San Francisco as part of my two week vacation it was a no-brainer to drive up there via Hwy 1. I stopped at San Simeon to see the elephant seals and I camped at Fernwood Campground on the Big Sur River underneath the redwoods. The next day I hiked to Pfeiffer Falls...

LEWISTON, Maine - Police are searching for a man accused of shoving an electric guitar in his pants and walking out of a store.

Police say the theft occurred last week and they're looking for three men. One shoved a Fender Stratocaster in his pants and pulled a sweatshirt over the top. The other two acted as lookouts.

All three can be seen on footage from video surveillance.

Yee haw! Small town rodeo! By Carol , 2/27/08, 11:19am Photography and Video (3 Comments in the Thread)

For Todd's Birthday two weekends ago we went up to Lake Isabella to see his friends and family. This happened to also be Whiskey Flats Weekend so we went to the smalltown Kernville Rodeo. We got in for free because Todd's best friend is one of the ambulance drivers and we rode in the back, lol Anyway, there was the traditional bull ridin' and barrel racin', but I especially enjoyed the Mutton Bustin' (where little kids try to...

Sad Day for Steeler fans....

probably no one other than myself knows who this is, but he was the Steeler's color announcer for 35 years and inventor of the Terrible Towel.

Very very funny! Some mild profanity!
