(X-post with Natter, cause I started it here:) So far, the Extreme Maintenance has included setting fires in the Grand Canyon, the two-month seven-day-a-week, ten-hours-a-day process to clear the Going-to-the-Sun road in Glacier National Park, and now hunting an alligator, um... somewhere. I missed what park.
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

God I love dog tv.
Whenever I am at a friend's house...who has a tv, I'm all over Animal Planet.
I'm the sappiest of sapersteins when it comes to "That's My Baby."
But last week? I watched a 'game' show called 'Who Gets The Dog?' on AP. It was like "The Swan" for pathetic/wrongness. Pimp a dog to three families, set them up to fail in training exercises they have no instruction for, then deny two families and watch their kids cry. Lovely.

Oh! They're not so much hunting it as inventorying a nest to check hatchling rates while warding off the mother alligator. (It's on the Travel Channel. Probably the Everglades?)
ETA: Alligators first, now crocodiles. Nifty! Very different kind of nest.

Oh my goodness. Baby crocodiles make incredibly cute noises.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Spent an hour window shopping at the new Crate & Barrel store. Realize I want all new everything for my house. Sadly, I could afford none of it.
So I settled for a vanilla/hazlenut latte that I could afford.
The snow turned to a nice, sleety, slushy rain. Oh, joy.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Because certainly there are people out there who get suspicious-looking bruises for totally innocuous reasons.t looks around, suspiciously
Yeah, I am that person.
And from family and people who really do know me well, I can understand them not asking. But my doctor has never asked question #1 when I came in looking like someone took a baseball bat to my back and legs (ftr, twisted my ankle at a wedding reception and tumbled down the stairs).

If I only had a brain...
Yeah, I am that person.
Me, too. I got MAJOR third-degree from my doctor a few years back because I was washing the tub and a shampoo bottle fell on my eye, giving me a handy-dandy shiner.
It did. Honest. I am that sort of person. I constantly have thigh and buttock bruises from walking into door handles.
