¡Obamanos!

impeach!

Hi ES. I’m just jumping in having read of fires in Santa Cruz mtns. Is everything okay with Suzanne?

Hmmmmmmmmm, glad to be here.

:~)

Love Watermelon Man! Great version, too. Hadn’t heard this.

Hi Laura, I don’t know. First I heard about it. Smoke in the air in your neighborhood?

i’ve been wanting to ask that too. suz, are you still here? bonny doon is too close for comfort.

I’m going to have to make my own bumpersticker, haven’t been able to find one.

RevDeb had it right, ITMFA…!

Us3 - Cantaloop

(sampling heavily from Herbie’s Cantalopue Island)

here’s the firemap… i’m in boulder creek, up highway 9 from it.. its 300 acres, 1,000 residences threatened and the town of bonnydoon has been evacuated

I’m also listening to firedispatch (click on santa cruz county and then any of the links that say fire red) to listen

Hey Eureka, hey everyone :-)

Plenty of cake leftover.

Oh fork Suz, you have more fires out there?

this is is down the hill and over a ridge from me.. a lot closer than the summit fire was ll

No. Not yet, that is. It’s very dry and winds are terrible this week. But yahoo news writes of fire and evacuation in the Felton and Bonnie Doon areas, so I’m wondering how Suz is.

Aloha, LL! How’s Virginny these days?

If you like this, you would probably enjoy a lot of Mongo Santamarias music.. one of my favorite albums of his.. Mongo Santamaria introduces La Lupe’. It’s a real gem.

Wiping watermelon juice off my chin……and sending best wishes to those in the fire zone. Care ….care.

((((( Loo Hoo )))))

(((Suz))) Stay safe, dearie.

amen.

((((( LL )))))

Got time for a chilled Leffe ? *g*

What Laura said.

((( Suz )))

I’ve always loved that piece.

Thanks Betsy !

what she said!

((((Lib)))

Aloha CT! Things are fine in the Old Dominion tonight…how are things in the Isles?

(((( Petro )))) You know me, I always have time for a Leffe ;-)

wind is blowing it away from me but we are supposed to hit at least 90 tomorrow and our humidity today was only 20

not good for a forking early june fire.. that’s more august conditions

Suzanne, are the winds in your favor atm?

Your Fire Insurance up to date…? ;-)

(((( grrrrlllll! ))))

LOL

Damn. If I could I would send you some of our cold and wet (snowed yesterday morning and this morning).

yikes, Suz - that’s getting close-ish to you. We have friends of friends near Smith Grade Road, on the perimeter, probably evacuated.

((( ES ))) … sorry Bro, had to greet the ladies first … *g*

that’s what, 4-5 miles as the crow flies? too forkin’ close!

smith was one of the first roads closed besides martin and ice cream grade. i heard 1400 people evacuated

Isn’t this early for fires?

Send that dang weather to Calgary, we’ve had enough snow in Toronto already …

It’s been windy here since before Spring and way backed up on rain needs. Hope nobody throws a lit ciggie out the window.

No problemo.. I had no idea we had friends in trouble!

this is our second big wildfire in the county and yes it is very early. the summit fire burned for more than a week.. i’ve got my fingers and toes crossed this one stays under 1,000 and they get a handle on it

was listening to planes and copters flying overhead today - making their drops

Suz, I’m sending positive thoughts your way and hoping that the weather ghods cooperate to keep you safe.

What and ruin the Stampede…?

on that google map link, if ya click on the terrain mode, ya get a good idea of what is between the fire and me

Best of luck with that Suzanne.

Our march winds didn’t arrive til may this year.. and they are still blowing.

Hey, I took a photo of a really beautiful moth and posted it on flickr to share with everyone who might be interested.

Ladies and gents.. I present to you, The Pandorus Sphinx

Man, are you sure that thing’s not a Transformer?

Whoa, ES — that is gorgeous!

glad it’s going the other way, but hope you’re keeping token and a torpedo bag handy just in case

Man.. That’s the wall on my back porch.. When I first spotted it, thought to myself, why is a leaf stuck to the wall?

gorgeous!

Damn. Y’all still have the most awesome bugs there in the Ozarks.

and bailey the cat (and her hated cat carrier)

oops i forgot bailey

Heading off to bed. Take care and enjoy the awesome music and moths.

g’nite dr (pause) (another pause) dick

Thanks!

Hello Petro!

We really do, especially in the wet years. I’ve only seen a couple of these n my lifetime and I have been an avid outdoorsman in these parts for nearly 45 years. The guy who already had one posted on the net.. found his in Northern CA.

Oh brother. Take care.

G’nite Sir !

How’re you doing, Loo Hoo ?

*grins* Classic from my high school days, that one. One of those things that made me take a real interest in sampling and electronica later on. Not as esoteric as those genre, but i still LOVE that song, punaise!

nite doctor

I like your ‘toolkit’… You’re only missing the chamberpot…! ;-)

off to bed. nite all

Your moth looks like origami, ES.

Hope all stays well with you, Suz….sending you protective energy.

g’nite all.

Aloha, DD, Spurious and Laura!

g’nite spurious

g’nite laura d

SOme things are best left to the imagination. *s

nite laura, spurious

A little more clever acid jazz. *grin*

Mr Scruff–Get A Move On

One of my favorites from 1998, when i first heard the song. Then giggled two years later when it showed up in a car commercial. I was going ‘Yer late, idiots!’ in my head when i heard the first time. Commerical producers, always behind the curve of the good tunes.

No work from the hospital as of yet. But i just got in the consent forms so they can do the background check. So it could be a matter of days, once they get that info in.

good night to those off to bed

Mongo Santamaria plays the Herbie Hancock classic, Watermelon Man.

What’s on your mind tonight?

What on my mind? What’s on my mind is that come the end of this month, I’m going to beat the snot out of my tech staff. Mongo Santamaria doing “Watermelon Man” and I can’t listen to it, because I’m on an NX link to a big-ass Linux server connected into the Internet and so many gigabits I can’t count them. But I can’t listen, because our NX link transmits video but not yet audio. Sigh. The cobbler’s children go unshod.

No word from the hospital yet, even. I swear, typo city today.

dayam

Nite all.

Digits crossed for Suz ‘n the critters.

nite sunny

Suze, you still ok?

‘nite laura, spurious and Dr. (loooong pause) Dick.

What does that moth eat ES? Besides siding.

g’nite sunny

They have to give me the yay or the nay either way Suz. I knew it was going to take a while since they were doing a whole week’s worth of interviews in addition to my own as well. Just means i leave in july instead of late june. *shrugs*

That’s so much more artful than “You know how the mechanic has a front yard full or disabled cars…”

i’m still ok that guy

I’m doing fine, Petro. Really busy closing out the school year…;~) Vacations starts at 1:00 on Friday!

‘nite SunnyN, sweet dreams.

I shared this over at the TReehouse (shuffling feet)

I got published!

mmmmmm, cobbler!

I’m getting bummed too… I’m still awaiting the scheduling of a physical…! 8-(

Suz! thanks for the links! I hope you will be okay- I was regularly checking the Summit Fire map, and saw that it wasn’t close to you. But looks like it is only 2 miles from Henry Cowell State Redwoods Park, and despite the name of the park, there’s plenty of burnable stuff there- I know that park well- used to live just off Graham Hill Road- the lower part doesn’t have a lot of redwoods- madrone, oaks- ouch!

Good night, sleepers.

Sounds like overkill.. Oh well.. It’s early in the year..we will save ya some watermelon. *s

wow

Take yer time. I can’t wait for the birds eye view of the wall at waist height.

Congratulations! Where? I don’t understand the linky?

Huh?

It’s new to me too, ES — it’s an online travel guide, of sorts, affiliated with Flickr.

Suz- oh, and p.s. I know you are way up from HC. So, you’ll be okay.

Prostate exam

yeap - fire would have to go through several towns before it got to me

punaise jr. turned me on to that one recently. also People under the stairs, Hieroglyphics, etc.

an oldie, somewhat in that vein:

Digable Planets - Where I’m from

Guess you’ll just have to buy it.

Which do you recommend ES?

So. the royal liver building? lmao.. I am almost afraid to ask.

vg, there are some great books of race identity in brasil. unfortunately, they are back in brasdil. when we get there, i will post the titles up for you

Heh, I’m not anticipating that…! If I hear the snap of the latex, I’m outta there…! ;-)

#11 but I haven’t heard most of them.

lol — long story short, it has to do with the mythical liver bird (pronounced lye-ver) way back in Liverpool history.

thanks wobbly- I was going to respond to you on earlier thread, but totally lost power here- thunderstorms. I was off line for some time.

Lurking all these years made me so wish that I had time to dip into the Lake. Thanks for the dip.

During the day, we wear our bathing suits, at late, late we skinny dip.

*clutching pearls*

*g*

Um, actually, if you go through it without hearing the snap of latex you should get yourself outta there!

Once ya delurk it’s hard to go back…! ;-)

Good night all.
