  1. Two hours until bedtime. Peace at last (until 4 am).
  2. If you don't want me posting here just say so. I can always take another four year hiatus!
  3. As we lose more relatives, it seems bittersweet memories become a part of everyday life. My great aunt and uncle had a weekend place in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. To this day I look back with great fondness on the times we spent up there during the summer, even though they both passed away when I was a teenager.
  4. Black with purple accents would be cool.
  5. It's been five years since there was a bear in this area, and certainly no mountain lions. Just coyotes and bobcats. Many people think coyotes are a nuisance, but I love hearing them yipping and howling in the distance at night. Bobcats are so secretive that they're almost never spotted. I've only seen one, and it was dead along the road. Poor guy.
  6. I was wondering how that post would land. Once you hit submit it's too late to pull up for another go-around.
  7. What happened to the regular posters in this thread?
  8. Too many bears. I wouldn't want to live anywhere with large, predatory mammals.
  9. I still can't adjust to calling Zaire the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and we have to deal with this Burma/Myanmar nonsense. It's too much to take. And what happened to Rhodesia? Umm... never mind. We shouldn't talk about that one.
  10. Top five, but at this point mainly due to nostalgic reasons. I can't remember the last time I went out of my way to listen to Rush. The last Rush song I heard was The Big Money, and that was in the car with my brother. He turned to me and asked if it was a new song.
  11. I recommend Dan Austin at Arizona State. He's considered the foremost authority on the Convolvulaceae (morning glory family). I haven't contacted him in a while, though. He may be retired, or dead.
  12. Raspberry scones from a local bakery, but only because my aunt raves about them. They're decent, but I won't be buying them again.
