Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Where are you flying into, megan? Wyoming, or Billings MT, and driving down to Yellowstone?

I'm actually flying to SLC and then driving the 5-6 hours up to Jackson Hole the next day. With my sister coming from Boston it was far easier to coordinate that than a more local airport. And, really, these days, I'd rather do that than changing planes anyway.

My swim got broken in two due to storms. Was doing pretty good in the first 14.5 laps, a 56.75 pace. Then thunder. BOO! After half an hour, got back in and did some angry-hope-it-doesn't-thunder-again swimming. 55.9 pace. For 40 more laps.

Thunderstorm interruption was annoying, but everything else was working right tonight.

You know, the nearby neighborhood/neighborhood association/un?-official police district is REALLY unfortunately named: CHuM .

Oh, Jackson Hole first will be great! Especially this time of year.

How is it that the tiniest little cuts sometimes hurt more than giant gaping wounds?

I have this, like, miniscule blister on my toe, and it feels like someone tried to hammer my foot into the ground. What gives? Yay for bandages, at least!

Yay, Perkins!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

There is a raccoon climbing up the window screen on my porch. I heard some oddly close-by scratching/thumping and Leo the Cat got Very Interested, so I turned on the porch light and looked out -- bam -- face-to-tail with a raccoon.

He is here to eat the cat food that I neglected to put away. He is cute. Destructive little bugger.

Climbing up the porch window. WTF.

Summer I lived in the mountains, the raccoons would climb on a stump outside my window, many of them, sometimes in a raccoon pile, to poke their little fingers through the holes in the screen and thoroughly freak out the cat. I used to poke back at them. Given their reactions, I think they found it to be a game.

The raccoons up at that facility were waaaay used to humans. Weren't quite to the point of mugging children like the monkeys in Kathmandu, but I think that's because the cats kept them in check.
