Shooting The Breeze

Just for fun. Not mine, but pretty awesome.

160: Beware the Squirrel Bear

Carry your bells.

Be ready to spray.

Or you might make

Some bear’s day.

I can’t claim it’s mine,

But it’s funny all the same.

Remember the warning

This public service announcement came to me in a viral e-mail.  It's too important good not to share.

This is my offering for Sunday 160, hosted by Monkey Man here.

The New Consume

I am an e-mail subscriber to the work of Hugh MacLeod, a very creative cartoonist and social commentator. On "Watercooler Wednesday," Hugh offers one of his cartoons for the taking, in return for a link back to his page.  I am delighted to provide that link, and to share this week's cartoon with you.

Because it's good to know you are trendy.

Be sure to visit Hugh. You won't be disappointed.  You can find him here:  Hello from Hugh

Crazy Eights?

My "mom," Titanium of Element 22, told me to go out and play. One should always do as Mother says.

So here's the game we're playing:

1) Go to your photo files, select the 8th photo folder.
2) Select the 8th photo in that folder.
3) Post that photo along with the story behind it.
4) Then challenge 8 blogging friends to do the same.

Here's my crazy 8th.

(The photo isn't one I took, obviously, but it is the 8th in the 8th, so here it is.  I was always afraid it would show up on the Internet. I just didn't know I would be the one to put it there.)

The story?  Long ago and far away, in a job long since finished, the costume prize was mine. 

And my eight nominees to play along?

1. Mojo
2. LouCeel
3. G-Man
4. Järnebrand
5. West Valley Daily Photo
6. Roy's World
7. Grandmother
8. California Girl

These folks are all excellent photographers, and have interesting things to say as well.  Go visit.  You won't be disappointed.
