I drove from Bloss to Buffalo at some ridiculously early hour today. The fog was lifting from the mountains in neat well defined stripes. The first four shots are driving into a stripe behind a white car that gets lost in the fog.







Gone!


The dark edge at the top is another mountain behind some well defined fog.

The only good shot I got from @flacidness' fashion show:


I got a new tent!! Finally tried it out at Brushwood last weekend. It was awesome! Great size, easy to set up, love the dual-doors & vestibules.

Our latest school-saving project

Mataya tried to teach nisha how to skateboard, but when I tried to take a pic nisha hopped up. Mataya offered to take the picture... Goofy!

Flying? Sleeping? Holstein the cat.

Beach #1: closed
Beach #2: closed between the time we pulled in and the time we changed clothes
Beach #3: beach at Mickey Rats. We thought @tinypliny would enjoy the sign. The water smelled like sewage & fish, so we had a beer and left.
Backyard: sprinkler, better beer. Ahhh...

We celebrated @puddlediving's 39th birthday last night with gaming. This is 7 Wonders. Also played Alhambra. We have a new set of expansions for it but didn't use any of them because two players hadn't played the core game. Happy birthday, Lana!

We took a camping trip in June to the Allegheny National Forest, Pennsylvania's only national forest, to see the synchronous fireflies during their mating season. These fireflies are best known in Asia and the Great Smokey Mountains but Allegheny Defense Project noticed them last year and brought researchers in to check 'em out this year.

They're amazing. Breath-taking amazing.

I didn't even try to take pix of the fireflies - incredibly difficult shooting conditions, much much harder than fireworks. So I took pix of camping.

A couple of the coop house kids got married on Thursday afternoon near the upper rapids at Niagara Falls State Park. A simple Episcopalian ceremony, a picnic, and croquet!

Basement kitteh in disguise.

The three houses destroyed in the fire in Bloss @heidi #56570 have been demolished and the fourth is gutted for rehab.
