Frog Castle - Jabe Pond 2015
We spent a lot of time building in the sand on Sunday. @joe used his engineering background to build a castle and I used my MFA and Italian heritage to build a mosiac eye.










Masumi At Jabe 2015
@uchina came out to visit us at Jabe for the week.
We took a trip to Hawaii and ate strawberries on the ocean.
We also spent a lot of time wrapping ourselves up in blue tarp and pretending to be drowning victims.
I already miss it.







Black Mountain Hike
Arriving at Jabe Pond 2015
We arrived at camp to find the parking lot full of forest rangers. Turned out their was a forest fire on one of the hills surrounding the pond. The forests were so dry with the lack of rain. Even the pine trees were starting to look yellow. I could see how it could easily catch fire.
Luckily, they got it out and we didn't die.

Ladies Only Hats at Walmart
Not sure if this is in response to Target ungendering their goods or not, but now many of the baseball and cowboy hats in the Walmart sporting section are clearly sticker-labeled as ladies only with a pink "ladies" sticker. So for all you guys who wanted a blue trimmed Ford logo camouflaged hat, put it down - ladies only.
What's next, labeling all pants as men's only?
Who do they think this is helping? Its not like women and girls are held back from wearing men's hats and require the sticker for it to be "OK". I also don't see the sticker stopping any guy who really wants a pink trimmed hat from getting it. So who is it for, the macho hunter who can't realize for himself that this hat might be a bit girly for the weekend hunt who the bros?
