Driving back from 4 days of vacationing. Some of the highlights include:
• Seeing an American bald eagle soar fairly close almost directly over our head. It was beautiful, majestic even. It was a freaking bald eagle, like you see in books and on animal planet specials. Maybe some of you are privledged individuals with backstage passes to nature, but it was the first glimpse I'd ever seen of one. I hope its not the last.
We saw a lot of other wildlife while up near the wild blue yonder, a turtle, numerous fish, of course squirrels and birds, a rabbit that could have been someones pet roaming the wild northern riverside, several rather large and red headed woodpeckers that amusingly slammed their faces into wooden stumps, a lot of deer, about equal ratio of dead to alive ones, some raccoons, possums, and skunks. All of those were dead. Actually maybe more of the deer were dead. Anyways, I'm alive and presumably so are you.
• Another highlight, the lake! It was too cold for swimming, just right for canoeing and boating. Very pretty for looking at.
What else...
• The demon in the freezer. Not to be confused with the large ugly fish in the freezer, the demon is about smallpox, and it was written by Richard Preston. It was nice to read a 283 page book uninterrupted.
• There was this ventriloquist by the name of ...shoot, what was his name? David Pendleton. He was really really funny.
Lets see, that's all for now. It was a very relaxing vacation so there's not much more to tell, although anthrax, rabies, dirty comforters, smelly water, and my cell phone once again taking the fiery plunge was involved, all in all I'd say it was successful trip. Even though I'll never get my orange highlighter back.
