This week was the annual Mill Creek fishing trip. I don't fish, so the highlight this year was Miles feeding this Harbor Seal some bait fish when we got back to the dock:
Yesterday, I left the house with the yard looking like this:
And returned to it looking like this:There is now some clean-up to do and a stump to figure out what to do with, but I get a lot more light in my apartment, now. And things that seemed perpetually damp already seem dryer.
And I also had a nice view of my neighbor as she angerly threw some fallen branches not only over the fence, but all the way into the middle of the backyard. "We only did this so that the tree didn't fall on your house," I thought to myself she stomped around her yard. Middle-school teachers are angry.

One More Reason to Vote for Barak O-Blog-A

Palin Supported Penalties for Using Skateboards on Public or Private Property in Wasilla.
“Beginning Oct. 15 — after the expected opening of the $233,000 Wasilla Skate Park — skaters will be breaking the law if they use their skateboards, in-line skates, bicycles, scooters (or any other recreational, non-motorized wheeled device) on public or private property where signs are posted forbidding their use.”

The Frontiersman added, “In the ordinance approved Monday, the penalty for first-time violators of the ordinance is a written warning and the skate device may be confiscated for 10 calendar days. For a second offense, a $50 fine shall be paid and the skate device may be confiscated for 30 calendar days. A third-time offender will have to pay a $100 fine and will lose his or her skate device permanently.” [Frontiersman, 9/18/98]
