Surf, what a cool picture. I stared at it for 3 or 4 minutes before it got through that there are other images within. I probably still haven't found them all.
OGAL, Glad you stopped by. Always a welcome mat out for airplane people. Data's in and out of here some too. And that kindness thing. I think it might catch-on if we keep at it.

Here ya' go... happy Sunday

Hey all. Haven't been around much lately but I came across some really good music yesterday so I thought I'd drop some off here. This is Colbie Caillat performing at a local radio station here in Portland. I was lucky to have been drawn for a seat with only about 30 others for a short promotional show. This was the first song she did, "Falling for you". It was in a room about the size of a 2-car garage and I don't think I was 10 feet from the stage. She was absolutely perfect, voice of an angel. The two guys on guitars were great also, I love watching good acoustic players and I was close enough to see fingers on instruments. The "drummer" was actually playing a card-board box. The next song, "The little things" I found on youtube. It has kind of an easy jazzy feel. Enjoy.

Thanks SSI, I'll check that out at home tonight. I can't get alot of things here at work.

A brief sad note. Three climbers were lost here on Mt.Hood last week. The weather has been deadly on top of the mountain making impossible what are always dangerous and difficult rescue operations. The search, when it can resume, has been re-classified a recovery operation now. Thoughts and prayers for those climbers and their families.

Thanks Cal, but you know how it is on the other side... some days you get the bear and some days the bear gets you.
Tough luck with your owl box. What kind of owls were you hoping to get? I can ask at the hospital. They might be some help.

Thanks, I guess Spathy. I had no intention of bringing this blog back and no idea who or what the boot thing is all about. I haven't updated it in over a year. I'll leave it for as long as it stays. Maybe if I get real ambitious I'll post something new. We can all trade holiday greetings. As always all are welcome. It was and still is a happy blog so we can leave our politics in the political blogs where it belongs. Nice of you to stop by and give it a bump Spathy.

Cool Spathy. Do you know that's the mountain, Mt.Hood, I see everyday and will be skiing on after the 1st of the year? It's about an hour from my place to the lifts.

Well Spathy whoever they are think I returned whatever it is I didn't take. Don't know them or recognize any of the handles. Maybe they'll fade away as quickly as they showed up.

I'll guess that mountain is Mt.Ranier but I really don't know. The only reason I can spot Mt.Hood is it's so close and I spend time out there.

OrangeRoses thanks for stopping by. Very odd to see my old blog back on the list. Back to the blues is coincidentally appropriate as our yearly blues festival is back in town beginning on the 4th of July and thats where I'll be spending the holiday.

The Colorado fires are very sad, so much total destruction. Our forest/fire policies of the past are at least partially to blame for the intensity of the burn and the speed at which it progresses. Then the drought plus the wind. It was overwellming. I wish we could send them some of our rain. Even for Oregon we've had an exceedingly wet spring.
