O3 on elmwood
Category: food

Finally went to O3 on elmwood. The food was delicious albeit slightly pricier than my usual lunch spots. In turn you get some really fresh organic food.

Unforunatly, I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of my entre. I got the Italian tuna wrap with capers. It was so good and came with some yummy blue corn chips. We also got a house salad. (e:terry) got a Baja chicken wrap special.

On the way out I got some honey fig chocolate truffles and a chocolate chip cookie to go as dessert.

I would totally go back.

Hiking at Zoar
Category: hiking

We went a different way and started at the other parking lot and headed toward the confluence. The police were out in full force checking for people drinking. The police Guy had on the coolest shoes. Thy had mesh bottoms to let the water out.

We caught he cutest baby snake. It was so friendly.

And, wow, I really need to change my user pic. Elijah was literally in kindergarten when this was taken, now finishing 7th grade.

Remember that snake we caught, oh, gosh, I can't even remember where (we drove through Niagara Falls (NY) on the way back, I recall)? But it escaped from the flannel-shirt-bag we made & crawled through the seat & seatbelt mechanism in my folks' car?!? And it was crawling around the back area & you had to find it whilst I was driving (but of course you couldn't take your seat belt off)?!? Good times. Miss you.

It looks like an eastern milk snake and the adults can get surprisingly bike (upwards of 4 feet). Even the adults are pretty docile which is a nice change from crappy garter snakes which will bite and crap on you with joy

Nice Snake.. I know you said you caught it but did you keep it? I wonder how big it gets... Well that is internet look up able if one knows what kind of snake it is.. The No Alcohol makes sense for so many reasons nice photos...

The biggest banana
Category: food

This is the biggest banana I have ever seen. I thought it was worth a picture but the picture doesn't do it justice.

The bike trail and pesticides
Category: buffalo

I find it so strange that they spray pesticide on the new bike trail between dugs dive and Gallagher beach. Its sick because the geese were eating right out of it and the runoff goes directly into the water ways.

The composition of most of it is nothing like grass anyways. Its the typical, natural mix of local weeds. The little yellow signs were all over the place.
