I feel like there might have been more, but can't think of them off the top of my head.

Tim's on a trip!

Tim left for his 5 day backpacking trip in the Canyon yesterday. He's going down to the Thunder River area- the place where that 20 year old kid died this summer. Definitely does not ease my mind.

I got a message last night that a furry little forest creature tried to cozy up to him in the middle of the night. I probably would not have reacted well to having an evil beady eyed rabid mouse crawl in my sleeping bag.

H-dinck the gnome stowed away in his pack, so hopefully the two of them are having a good time together.

Giant Spider Season!

Don't you just want to cuddle up next to these guys? Just soft and snuggly? I think I had my Turquoise Death Spider dream when I started seeing these things last year. I wonder if they'll show up in my dreams again?

Arches

Tim thinks this picture is horrible- that it looks like he has buck teeth- it's a sheep. Not to worry, he doesn't have buck teeth.

South Bass Trail

Tim and I atop the highest peak in AZ!

I'm a little peeved.

I got my first nasty gram. A visitor comment form was filled out about me, not by a visitor but by a local. Someone who lives at Desert View says I have a stony face and every time she drives through the gate I look at her with eyes of hatred. I don't smile or wave either.

1. If you don't roll your window down, I don't really talk to you. Usually I'll say have a great day or something like that to the locals, even if I don't know them.

2. I don't wave people through until they've come to a complete stop, a wave too early is usually misconstrued as permission to drive through the gate.

3. What a Jackass!
