    bothers me about the animals tho'. predatory and dangerous but scared and panicked at being let loose and they are killed because of some idiot human being. what a terrible waste.

    Saw that on the Today show this morning. At the time, they did not know what happened. Hate that the animals had to be subjected to that.

    I knew someone who did a similar bit with their domesticated dogs. People are not in touch with reality when they hit bottom like that.

    So sad.

    Sad twist of irony that he was an animal lover and yet his actions caused them to be hunted. The guy's depression clouded his thinking. It's a tragedy all around.

    Yeah, it is tragic. Apparently they had to take down the animals due to the conditions of darkness and previous encounters that happened at the "reserve".

Remember Your Rubbers

My education began in the Greater Chicago Catholic school system.  So the title to this post make me giggle.  When I was a little girl and it was raining outside, the nuns would tell us to "Put on your rubbers!" before we went out into the rain. This was back before kids were fragile snowflakes and a light rain was O.K. to go run around on a paved parking lot next to the church where a vicious game of dodge ball was considered healthy, but I digress.  Here I will tell the story of how I learned way more than I ever thought I would about the history of contraceptives (ironic, considering my early childhood huh?) Skip ahead 28 years to my first full time "permanent" job in archaeology. I had moved sight unseen to Boise for the job and had no idea what I was getting into. Lucky me got hired to finish the project from hell that none of their staffers wanted to handle- a huge survey of over 200 sites that had been shoddily completed in the field that still...

Halloween 2011

Family Portrait I just packed up the haunt and we got everything up in the rafters and all the storage places we could find. I took down the Halloween wreath and put up the Thanksgiving one. I even changed the porch light from black light to warm white. We saved two of the corn stalk bundles and put them up on either side of the porch. All signs of yard haunt 2011 are gone.  We didn't get as many TOTs this year as last, but we aren't in a very enthusiastic neighborhood either. We did have a lot of people stop by during the weekend and got lots of great compliments. I got to take some photos and really tried hard at video, but I don't have the right equipment for that. Maybe next year. I met almost all of my deadlines, but there are always a few that time won't allow for. I now have 364 days to get more lighting sequences done, an next year will have a proper Halloween tree. I almost did too much this year and got pretty stressed with the pressure to finish. B...
