Leaving the Bubble

· · 🌡️ 0°F

We left the bubble to go hiking with dave in East Aurora. We aren't far from our bubble but far enough to see a pickup that said I belong to the NRA and I vote. He was wearing army clothes and had defeat Kerry stickers too.

Hiking, Eating, and Fruit Baskets, Rice

· · 🌡️ 0°F

We spent the daytime hiking at Zoar Valley followed by Matthew's postponed Birthday meal at Red Lobster. It was very delicious, I had not been there in a long time.

While at Zoar we ended up running into Dave and Pat from Pat and Terry. I was nice to hang out outside but it was kind of weird to not be able to cross the creek. There were a million screaming children and dogs. Both of which are not my fgavorite thing to add to a relaxing day outside.

After Red Lobster, Holly, Terry, Matthew, and I watched Fruits basket some more. It got really weird. I suggest the series to anyone that likes anime. The name is "Fruits Basket." It is quite excellent and I do not even like the video medium.

I am working on the image system tomorrow. I will be reorganizing and renaming images to adhere to the new date sorted system. If for some reason the images are unavaiable for a little bit you know why, but I do not expect any serious delay. Any sketch art will remain as it already aheres to the new system.

Speaking of Fruits Baskets and Rice Balls, condoleeza seriously looks like a bitch here and no matter how much I hate her, I have to say this image seems slightly slanted. It is from CNN.

Hiking at Zoar

· · 🌡️ 0°F

So against my better judgement I spent several hours yesterday hiking at Zoar Valley. I used to really like it there. It is an old hippie, naked gathering, natural wonder. Unfortunately, it is also extremely polluted with both chemicals downstream from an old glue factory, and plutonium from West Valley upstream. Check out my December 26th journal @paul #30661 on the topic. Also check out Terry's poem about the hike. @terry #35457

Well, it is also one of the most beautiful places I have seen on the east coast. It kind of reminds me of a mini, greener Sedona, AZ.

It was nice to feel the sun outside. We had a fun time hopping on mini icebergs in the creek. When we got back to the creek we initially crossed, most of our path had been eroded away and we had to walk on really thin ice. Luckily, we aren't to heavy!

This is the cliff where the two creeks cross and most people hang out and swim.

Here is another picture of the cliff from a different angle.

This is looking down the creek from the cliff toward the point peter cliff.

This is me in nature, with my pointy peter, lol. It fun to be naked outside.
