Stuff
I have recently returned from a mini-vacation to California. Der Ginge and I made the trip to Humboldt County in about 13 hours. The family in NorCal is doing well and I miss Humboldt County, a place I called home for nine months. If I could effectively make a living while living in the boondocks of extreme Northern California, I'd be there, but. . .Well anyway, we're back in Seattle. I visited my old place of employment and was told once again that, if I returned, I would have a job. If only it paid more than $7.50 an hour, but then again I do have a liberal arts degree from a technical university so beggars can't be choosers right? Anyhoo, Oregon, outside of Portland, is a state of redneck-hillbillies and presently seems to be completely under-water. Southern Washington isn't much better. But listening to David Sedaris on CD made it all bearable. Here are some pictures of Humboldt plus me and my beard (which I recently shaved off).
Redwoods. . .
The forest just up the road from Ginger's Mom's place.
I grew tired of shaving.

That picture looks like it would be captioned: "Neighbors say the area man was always on the verge of snapping and it's a miracle the shooting didn't take place sooner."
That's funny, 'cause the picture comes courtesy of the King County Sheriff's Department. Thanks guys, you're the best!
Story, plz.
Well, as it turns out, if your drunk enough, the "authorities" will take you to the hospital before incarcerating you. FYI.
When did you come by Barnes? I miss EVERYthing!
Bill, get on iChat.
Sorry Melissa, I was talking about the natural foods store I worked at in Garberville, not the BN. You didn't miss ANYthing.
Pitchers and catchers report in nine days.
When do we report to open tryouts in Dodgertown. I just found my glove.
I need to mix in some sit-ups or something first.
also maybe work on not being terrified of the bsll
"Bsll?" I'm sorry, I am unfamiliar with this acronym. Or did you simply misspell "ball?" And, I don't see YOU signed up to go to Dodgertown with Cooley and I.
nice picture bill. i think you should make that your profile picture. just so you can make small children scream.
