Via Redsugar Muse…
It didn’t take long for the tree to light up like a torch. This is why you don’t want to keep live Christmas trees in your house for too long. At this point, several of the bottle rockets have already gone off.
Go read (and view) the entire extravaganza for yourself, eh?
Have you ever had one of those little brainstorms that sets your hands in motion before you really stop to think about what you’re doing?
Oh, good, then it’s not just me.
The fruits of today’s brainstorming are a couple of LJ icons. Yes, I know. Go ahead and be ashamed of me. I’ll live with it.
If you haven’t been reading Unshelved this week (and why not, eh?), you should definitely check out the current run. It’s all about something as simple as a book club. Eat your heart out, Oprah.
I recommend starting with the specific strip linked below. Trust me on this.
This, folks, is where I spent a large portion of my childhood from age 7 ‘til age 13. That town at the left edge of the lake-like river structure is Brewster, WA. If you follow the Columbia to the right and down, you’ll see Bridgeport. Just east of there is the Chief Joseph Dam. Between Brewster and Bridgeport along the south shore of the river is what’s called the Bridgeport Bar, where I’ve lived in at least three different houses that I can think off right off-hand. And if you click-drag the map a bit north and west and follow the road west out of Brewster and then up into the Indian Dan Canyon you can see where the road sort of zigzags as it goes down one side of a valley and back up the other. Right there is where my grandmother used to live, and that’s the first house we stayed in when we moved into the area. I think. (My memory’s a bit fuzzy.)
Near as I can tell from this semi-recent satellite imagery, not much has physically changed about the place. Hmm. Go figure, eh?
You learn something new every day…
Originally misclassified as rodents, rabbits belong to the order of Lagomorpha and are more closely related to ungulates such as cows and deer than rodents.
So I’m not allowed to call Tia and Saturday rodents anymore? Nuts…
Anyway. Cute bunny picture, linked below. Happy Easter, folks.
I know what I want for next Christmas, already. Even more than a Red Ryder BB gun. Seriously.
(I’m kidding about the BB gun. I don’t even like that movie.)
