The Grand Canyon is fucking awesome.
I don't really have a bucket list, per se, but if I did, that's on it. Definitely want to get there soonish.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

The Grand Canyon is fucking awesome. Just...wow.
Truer words... Mind blowing.
My dad hunted and took us all target shooting with his rifles when we were kids. I think the idea was so that we wouldn't try it on our own. Not that we had a clue where he kept the ammunition. He was safety guy. It was fun. Hitting the target rocks. I wouldn't want to hit anything else though.

Because books.
Take lots of pictures, Suzi! And rest your foot.

I took a ton of pictures of the canyon, then when I looked at them and they just were too tiny. Blown up room size they would be too tiny. The time I saw the ocean for the first time at 19 or so, and when I first saw the Grand Canyon are 2 times in my life that I was truly overwhelmed.

Laura, I think the twins did have a good bday. They went to school (where they got stickers and crowns) and then they came home. We went out to dinner at Yard House and Lori and her family joined us, which was awesome.
We'll got to Legoland this weekend (with a stay in the very excellent Legoland hotel).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I haven't been to the Grand Canyon in a long time. That is a place that pictures do not do justice. Pictures are pretty and all, but being there in person is something else. That said, try not to overdo, Suzi, you're still healing.
I hope it's three months and done, Kat.

Thanks, 't. Me too.
We have off on Monday for Cesar Chavez Day. I find it weird that we celebrate a labor leader by taking a day off of our public sector jobs.

I need to go to Legoland! I'd take the boys, but I suspect they are too big to be allowed to do anything. Maybe we could borrow some little ones.
I hope it's three months and done, Kat.
Indeed. That is why I am newly determined to get healthy. I want off of the stupid drugs. Don't like it.

I think everyone should know what a gun is capable of, preferably by shooting on, but observing one in real life will do. Too many people make their judgements by seeing them on TV or the movies. I don't think everyone should have one--hell, there are lots of people who I think should never, ever have the means to get their hands on one. But seeing them in action can counter a lot of the fear. Better decisions are made when fear isn't in the equation. But always respect what they can do.
