Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Now tagless for your comfort.

We've had two black bear sightings here in town this summer--one at a park by the river and one near our house--another park.

Not to big--between 300-400lbs but not cubs, either. As long as they keep moving, they're ok. But if they decide to stop, the get tranqed and relocated.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Someone got mauled by a bear in my hometown last month, walking her dog by a dumpster the bear was rummaging through. She's still in critical care. Don't think the dog survived.

Bears. America's #1 threat.

I wore red and black today in pure defiance. But I'm a rebel like that. I also wear lots of harvest tones I know don't work on me, but it's not my fault, because damn technical clothing never comes in sapphire blues. Manufacturers believe that if I'm outdoorsy, I must also be an autumn.

They are godless killing machines after all.

Well, I imagine it does help hide you from the bears.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ryan has learned brown bears and polar bears. Not infallible at distinguishing between the two, though. And, strictly, he calls the polar bears "powai bears", powai being what he calls his grandma. Matilda will be happy to know that on more than one occasion he has called his grandma "Powai Bear".

Heh. She actually had a nightmare about polar bears last night.

Ow. How do I get a blister between my toes when there was nothing there but my toes?! I get the blisters on the bottom of my foot (I literally have a blister on top of a blister!) from sandals that have not been agreeing with me, but this one? WTF body?

I am anxiously awaiting SYTYCD being over so I can go read what everyone wrote in NonFic thread. :)

I tend to avoid red and black because of the University of Georgia.

When we were camping we decided the raccoons were in a gang. there was a least one beat down that went on . they made the little one pull potato chips off the bottom shelf of the food locker . and our tent neighbors had one unzip their tent and pull out a bag of garbage
