He doesn't travel well. He's like fine shrimp.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

ita,

I think Culkin must be on drugs. I mean he looks REALLY bad. I hope he gets/seeks some help.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay, these are both blurry, but you can barely see Uranus. I KNOW DON'T MAKE THE JOKES OVER THERE OK? Venus. And here's Jupiter and you can just barely see the moons. Both out of focus because this is my first session with the telescope and my Droid 3. But I think I can get the hang of it if I work at it.

Also, the elk on my street this evening.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Wow. Macaulay Culkin doesn't look strong.

Yikes. He looks like shit on a stick.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can't see Uranus, Liese! (tee hee)

I wouldn't put it past Culkin to just be anorexic or something.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I took a look at the southwest corner of the sky and Venus and Jupiter were all blurry through the cloud cover. Oh well.

No elk, either. Which is good, they're supposed to stay on the other side of the slough from here. I did see wee baby lambs amongst the sheep when I was driving to and from the grocery store though, which is always cheery.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I marked it with the notes, but you can't see the notes on the large version, so you kinda have to look at the notes, and then look at the large version. If you follow the lens flare down, it's in that direction, but right at the bottom of the photo.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Those are fantastic, Liese. We, after days and days of the most amazing dusks and clear skies, are totally rocking the orange glow like LA. Ours is rain and not smog, likely, but no planet for meeeeeeeee.

I just bought chocolate bars from the neighbor's kids in my own driveway. I need the chocolate like I need a new hole in my head, but still!

Lee's neighborhood likes carrots! AWESOME! If all turns out right, there will be 6 other A- travelling companions, including 2 little boys and my irreverent brother. If you are brave... seriously, while I suspect my parents won't pay your way, if you are interested, I can send you the info. Excuse is the usual: solar eclipse.

I teased mom tonight that she was burning through our inheritance because she knew we were to cheap to splurge on trips like this if we got it. She laughed, asked for my ss# for an annuity and informed me she was paying for the cousin's wedding fares AND new luggage, as well. WTF?!! Not complaining, but I do worry. OTOH, we're open about money, so I do know where they stand. Their retirement-selves are a little scary.
