This wont be us as we plan to be dancing around a camp fire to Jerry Garcia tunes but in younger wilder days....in NYC, stumbling in and out of bars...arriving home Sunday morning, fish net stockings torn...eyeliner smeared...like the Whore of Babylon.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
Enjoying the little vintage tinsel tree & cool led decorations.
Loved couch t00r listening to Widespread Panic New Year Eve show streaming from my computer and 'Sharon' with the man himself! David Bromberg. It just doesn't get better than that, well, better would have been being there but we cant do them all.
NEW YEAR'S EVE SHOW MP3 @ PANIC STREAM
Its been in the 30s for a couple of weeks. We had hail twice and it has not melted. It has been a chilly winter. I plan to go out for supplies in a day or so and prepare for holing myself up again as we are expecting snow. These are the times I miss my Jeep.

If you cant beat em
Feed em! (or beware!) disclaimer and consequences below...
Click on the image then the + to see the full size.
Its gotten to the point I cant feed the Blue Jays because the squirrels are scavenging for anything and run the Jays away from their plate of seed.
Dry leaves dont even last long on the deck, I caught one of them with a mouth full of leaves scurrying away. I suppose I should be thankful they are keeping the deck pretty clean!
Update 1/12/11 Well, that worked pretty well for about a couple of days, except, we live a block away from a State Park so, we think, that every squirrel in 50 mile radius of the house now knows that we put corn out for them so two or three become territorial over the corn & the weaklings bully the birds. The saga continues.
Update Feb 2011 ~ The restaurant is definitely closed to the cute critters. I now sprinkle this stuff
Uncle Ian's
An organic repellent. The squirrels (which are usually 4 at the most) were at last count about 30, some began chewing 6-8" gashes on the deck rails.
Back of rails.
Front.
Sorry squirrel lovers! What's next my attic?
Stocked up on it when Fred Meyer's had a sale recently. It must be sprinkled after each rain but so far so good. It is working great. I also fill a little bag of it and hang it on the bird feeder.
I had two bags of corn, returned the un opened one, the customer service lady told me her mom feeds squirrels and she has to replace her screen door every year because they chew right through it.
I had to pull the Welcome mat.

Bristol fans cheat the system on Dancing With The Stars
Here is a link that shows how Sarah's supporters are allegedly using a glitch in the on-line voting system to vote up to 300 times per person (?)
Conservatives cheating DWTS Voting System.
I actually like Bristol but it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out she cant dance. The story is that she identifies with the girl next door. That's cool, only thing is this is not a "Girl Next Door" competition.
Blogs, DWTS FB pages are filled with comments about how this is about who comes along the furthest and I have to agree, but in this case that individual is not Bristol it happens to be Kyle who began just as green as Bristol and is now leading a very professional/Lacey and is so much fun to watch.
Dont be surprised if Kanye shows up to snatch the Mirror Ball out of Bristol's hands yelling how Brandi deserves it!
PS SERIOUSLY?

Carnival Splendor the SPAM was never served
Most images can be clicked for larger view.
Contrary to what the media is reporting SPAM was delivered to the Splendor but not served. According to Carnival Cruise Line's Facebook Webpage
I heard the crew ate the same thing guests were eating and worked like crazy to try and make everyone as comfortable as possible.
I found out just what a wonderful company this is when my son fell critically ill in the spring of 09 aboard one of Carnival's ships. It was a congenital heart valve disease nothing to do with Carnival. The company flew me on a red eye so I could be by his side, they put me up in a hotel, provided transportation and meals. I dont know how many companies do that these days but I assure you, not many.
I would recommend Carnival Cruise lines to everyone. I think they handled this situation with class and Im so happy everyone arrived safe and sound.
