Tryng to ID your bird. I think it's a great egret, but I need to know what color its legs and feet are.

I've managed to get several of my lives up to Legend status. It's one of those games that I got so caught up in all the side quests, I forgot that there was a main story!

I usually love my job. There are some days that are full of face-palming stupid, though.

You'd really like Fantasy Life, Cary. I can't believe you haven't played it yet.

I discovered that you can't shuffle all six discs, just one at a time. Boo. Color me disappointed.

Yeah, I'm sorry to have missed the installation. They had to rewire the whole thing as well as replace the pump.

The road trip was fun. Picnic at the shore, dramatic waves and nothing on the horizon. Then we went to GameStop and I spent the gift card I got for Christmas. More on that in mynext blog post. Quick trip to Target to get the cat a new scratching post, and then we stopped in and visited some friends so Kendall could come out and kick my tires, and then back to Jason's place and then home.

We didn't go too far, two towns over from Portland, and had a picnic lunch by the ocean at Two Lights State Park. I took SanAndreas there when he visited two summers ago. It was beautiful, the tide was coming in and the waves were all blue and sea green and white and breaking against the rocks, and the sky was brilliant blue and the rugosa roses were in bloom.

And yes, yay! to no more caterpillar hairs!

I will miss my Outback, but I'm looking forward to many happy years with the Forester.

This is going on the list of "I want this game when I get a Wii" titles. I have the first game and really enjoyed it.

My sight is so bad that I'm kind screwed on both ends. I don't mind needing to get bifocals. I just want to be able to see. Luckily I have vision insurance through work that will pay for an exam and  new pair of glasses every other year

I have a hard time picking favorites in terms of music. I dunno what I'd pick for the 60s. For the 70s, probably Neil Young's Harvest. For the 80s, probably Paul Simon's Graceland. For the 90s...Garth Brooks' Ropin' the Wind comes to mind. 2000s would be a tos-up between Kathy Mattea's Coal and Singing Through the Hard Times,the tribute to Utah Phillips that my friends got nominated for a Grammy for. 2010s - again, another toss-up, Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes by Social Distortion or Dear Jean: Artists celebrate Jean Ritchie tribute CD that the same friend who produced the Utah Phillips CD produced.

My weekend was spent working, but we park rangers work so the rest of you can play. Had a great time patrolling the trails and talking to people, and the weather was perfect.
