Better send a kayak towards danwho....lotta rain means lotta flooding. Be careful out there!

Thanks! You're right about the flooding. But all's well ... welkian here.

This astrogator is particularly fond of maps. Today's Google Doodle is a nod to Abraham Ortelius, a cartographer who published the world's first atlas in 1570. Like many early maps, there were depictions of sea monsters. The five continents were represented by allegorical women....interesting that the Americas were represented by an armed Amazonian warrior holding a severed head. This symbolized cannibalism....yikes.

Back in the 1990s, I purchased a map/chart from Concept2 that represented Terra Firma and several seas of discontent and such. There was even a section called "here be monsters", I believe. Can't remember what the map/chart was called. The object was to virtually move your rower by getting through the various dotted line distances through each of the continents. Not making this one up. Anyone else remember this?

Yes, I remember. I rowed the whole map. I have to try to find it now

This is the part of the story where the narrator says "time passes."

I totally got off track this AM and didn't capture numbers. I have them now, but they may be some of today's mixed in. While in Boulder today, I saw a menu item that I am sure has Minnie's name all over it: I went with the BLT guacamole sandwich...

With the exception of In-N-Out, I'm not a big fan of hamburgers ... but I'd get behind a Volcano burger! Especially if it'd appease Madame Pele, and slow down all the volcano drama, so we can enjoy our upcoming sojourn on the Big Island ... being able to breathe, and all.

Live from a secret mountain location...Wifi is working! It is Memorial Day weekend after all....hope yours is starting great, staying great and ending great!

First snake of the season today....a two foot slitherer of the common garter snake variety. Still. A slitherer. Forked tongue. Eats earthworms (seriously?!), and frogs. Be gone.

I'm so jealous! I only ever got squirrels on my hummingbird feeder. I gave up.

just wondering-why sugar water???

Feeding hummers must be a suburbia thing, bg!? You fill up the hummingbird feeders with sugar water (1 part sugar to 4 parts water) instead of buying the pink syrup stuff they (used to?) sell. Every so often, I ignore the feeders for too long, and the hummers go elsewhere ... takes them about a week to come back and trust me, again.

Don't give up on them, Shaun! I've never had squirrels interested in the sugar water ... our squirrels are too well fed with all the birdseed feeders that we have. This is the type of hummingbird feeder that we use:

OK, I'm going to give it another try with a feeder like yours. I like the clear reservoir and I've got just the place to hang it--close to my red hibiscus.
