Hah--Katie Bee, one of the things currently on a (mental) list is running a race through the redwoods (there seem to be a few different ones). White water rafting could be a thing. I think I want to add tubing this summer (I've done it before but not in a long time, and not here in Washington), but that requires friends. Dunno about camels, though--might leave that one to Aimee. But maybe a horseback ride? (I haven't been on a horse since I was like, 10).
We're taking a moment ... and we're done.

Herding cats for fun
OK, you ARE adventurous! I've been tubing and thought it was delightful and low tech. How about llama backpacking in Yosemite? Llamas carry baggage. At least in the Eighties you could do that...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Llamas carry baggage.
Hence all the drama llamas.

Not anymore, the llamas ran away.

Punishingly Intricate
Lisah, is the snowmelt the sugar based stuff? Sarah got it one year and we loved it but haven't seen it since. So much less corrosive. Slightly sticky, but no more so than the mess -chlorides make.
I'm not sure. It's the petsafe stuff. And is blue.
My dogwalk earlier this evening was pretty terrifying. I tried to stay on the snow as much as possible. And walked like a penguin. Fortunately, CB is pretty good on the leash and not a puller. She's pretty happy to go really slow and really get some intense smellin' in. And it doesn't seem like she's going to need another walk before bed. PLEASE let it rain some and melt overnight.

Sugar stuff is brown. Yeah, it's pretty death defying out there.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I highly recommend Yaktrax for walking in icy conditions. They are part of my regular winter kit.

I keep meaning to get them. And then I forget.

ARGH.
First offer on the house we're trying to sell fell through, and so has the back up.
I just want someone to buy the house, and the house to be gone, and to not have to worry about it anymore. I kind of want to cry.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Aw, shit, Plei. This has been dragging on forever, and it looked so possible this time! I'm sorry.
