Cody will never understand the concept of relative size. Funniest dog ever.

No worries Nathan - I know system transition issues well. Good luck and thanks for the quick reply!

Volunteers should be aware that the ANFFLA requires that volunteers schedule time at the fire…Read More lookout at the beginning of the season and veterans are given priority scheduling with no limit. I was a volunteer for a couple of years and was only able to get in one shift at a lookout tower. All of the rest of the weekends for the entire season were already booked by the time I was allowed to choose. Some veterans had scheduled a dozen weekends or more while newcomers were left with no open slots.

Found a young one sitting next to the front door yesterday. I picked him up with trash pickers and…Read More put him in a 5-gallon bucket and took him somewhere a little safer for him and me. I think he had just eaten because even when I picked him up he did nothing but "sniff" the air with his tongue.

I'm told the young uns are the most toxic. It looked like a baby from the pic. Be careful, Ellen.

I wonder if the Station Fire contributed to the Bear invasion. It seems there is no legal and easy…Read More solution, but setting Bear traps would be a start...those spring loaded huge jaws chained to a secure post. Then either taken to the local taxidermist or Bear Skin Rug shop....or hauling them hundreds of miles away. Be nice if they developed a taste for prowlers and thieves..

When I was a kid you NEVER heard of a bear anywhere. And your cats and small dogs could be in your yard, before others decided that Coyotes should roam your streets and eat your pets because "that's nature".

They love ivy - which is poisonous for us. If you need your ivy trimmed, invite them in. I used to…Read More think it was sooo cool to have the deer in our yard but I've met a couple of deer that, from the looks they gave me, must be Bambi's evil step-sisters. I consider myself very observant and never cease to be amazed by how they can materialize right in front of me. But, after watching them numerous times, I can't help thinking of them as long-legged rabbits.

Elizabeth C. ---- This makes me very sad to see this work of art already being marked up. Everytime…Read More I pass under this bridge I am amazed that someone thought about making this bridge a piece of art instead of a conventional bridge. Hats off to the artist and to the committee that came up with this idea. I think the installation of cameras is a great idea - that way they could have the vandals ID and send them to jail and have them on a clean up crew. Why don't we see taggers and such working with yellow jackets with "tagger"or "vandal" on the jacket and have them working the clean up on these projects or how about tatooing the graffiti artists and taggers with something ugly across their forheads?

Amazing job remodeling a local historic landmark that was almost ready to go under from the blunders…Read More of the previous owner. So happy to see in under real management. From the attention you are giving to your remodeling as well as the food from following your facebook page - I can't wait until you open.
And very creative use of Facebook. Its been a lot of fun to watch your progress, remodeling trials and tribulations and now your work to perfect the menu. I think you are going to do well! :-)

I agree 100%. Every once and a while, no matter how careful I am, I'll crack a book's spine and…Read More feel awful about it. When I need to use printed material for a research job I'm doing for someone, I'll buy the books I need and print the online material so I can make copious notes. Luckily, the material in most books, no matter how recent the publication date, is already too old to use for research.
Stephen McCarthy March 25, 2013 at 12:38 pm
For me, there is nothing worse than defacing a book. That includes dogearing pages and cracking the…Read More spine. I even had a hard time using a highlighter in college texts! It's bad enough when people do it to their own books (but hey, it's their book, they can mess it up if they want) but to do it to another's or (gasp) a library book is unconscionable!

This is honestly why I'm not good at "borrowing'' books. When I see a great turn of phrase, or…Read More language that's just awesome, I have to scribble notes. And, um, you can only do that if it's your book :-) Sometimes, something I just read relates to something I'm writing about and need to expand on - and that's a whole other mess of arrows and asterisks.
