I heard the newt today, oh boy

[UPDATE: Upon further discussions with the Hubs, we have realized this is NOT a NEWT. Au contraire, this dark, slippery fellow is a Northwestern Salamander (amybstoma gracile), but I still think you don't want to eat him. Well, I don't. I guess I can't speak for you.
Anyway, wherever you read "newt" just [...]

a personal item of a porcine nature

Once again, we went to the Kitsap County fair a few weeks back. Once again, a good time was had by all.
While the deep fried Twinkie was surprisingly delicious, the most memorable moment occurred in the piggy barn.

Isn’t this a precious scene? Besides relating to this plum-tuckered-out nursing mom (and her gargantuan nips!), [...]

Be cool and share your cool if you have it, everyone!

the eagle cam: what else you gonna do?

Sure, you could go outside, get some exercise, even go to the store, but really what you want to do is look at these eaglets. Right, Maria?
And, if you leave this window open with the sound on, you can pretend you’re actually outside doing something while you surf online. Snap!

rhymes with duck

I’m talking about luck, people (although, admittedly my mind may still be in the gutter after that burlesque show).
We had a day recently where sun/weekend/camera/family all combined, and the Let the Dog in! household went out, to our local park, Battle Point Park. An appropriate name given what happens with your child [...]
