A court in Ecuador has found Chevron guilty of massive environmental pollution and human rights violations in the Amazon, and has ordered the company to pay $8 billion to clean it up. But Chevron has vowed to appeal the decision, and clearly plans to stall indefinitely, hoping never to pay its due. So the Change Chevron team got together with our friends and allies at Amazon Watch, Greenpeace, Global Exchange, and Communities for a Better Environment (of Richmond, CA) headed down to Chevron’s HQ in San Ramon, CA, and delivered a message to the company: Chevron was found guilty because the company is guilty. Time to accept responsibility and clean up the oily mess in Ecuador!

I love nuts of all kinds especially almonds and cashews. I can't stop eating them once I start especially if I have an ice cold beer to wash them down with. Almonds are good for your heart right? Happy Macro Monday.
I enjoy doing diamond painting occasionally. What I don't enjoy is the amount of time spent sitting therefore I feel guilty while at the same time enjoying it. This is a large canvas of dragonflies. Although a work in progress I did curl the canvas and shine a light inside the curl to brighten the colours. I quite liked how I have a narrow band of focus with fall off before and after.
This section is just over 2.5" so well within the size limit.
During a recent get away for a change of scenery, we paid a visit to Hansel & Gretel's chocolate shop in downtown Helen.
We visit here occasionally and Hansel & Gretel is high on the "To Do" list while there. Here is just a sampling of the goodies I walked away with.
It was the end of Octoberfest so the crowds were still there but that didn't slow us down - too many shops and restaurants to check out while there!
Five Embarrassing Songs on my iPod:
1. Addicted by Simple Plan - This song was popular when I was like, seventeen, and it just reminds me of simpler times.
2. Rearranged by Limp Bizkit - Ok, this one = really embarrassing. I am, by no means, a Limp Bizkit fan and hesitated before admitting I have one of their songs on my iPod, but this song resonates with me.
3. Crawling by Linkin Park - Same deal, basically. I'm not a fan of the band but I like the song.
4. Stay by Lisa Loeb - Hahaha. I have no defense. This song reminds me of my 90s childhood. For quite a while, every morning when I woke up for school, this video would be playing on MTV without fail.
5. Beautiful Life & All That She Wants by Ace of Base - Same. My sister used to be obsessed with Ace of Base when she was little, and these are kind of feel-good songs. ...I probably have "I Saw The Sign" on here too. =X
Charlie, 11 weeks old, and totally orally fixated. He was only at it for a spilt second, but I wanted to capture that expression before I scooped him up and distracted him from eating the plants.
Pretty quiet on our local beach, this morning. My lovely wife woke me to say it might be nice. She captured the most wonderful sunrise, yesterday and then complained of sensor spots which I tried to clean and messed up her camera! We're now ordering a kit to try and clean it properly, fingers crossed.
PS after 5 swabs with the kit, my wife's friend managed to rescue the sensor! He then sold us a Canon 5D Mkii which is now my first full frame camera. Lots to learn.
Thank you for looking.

Thoughts on the lonely ranch....
Do hummers have conscience's? Do they go to Heaven ? If not how does a hummingbird sin ? If they're not in Heaven do I want to be there ? Ever looked at the word Con - Science ?
What do they think about all day ? Do they worry about heart attacks with heart beats of 1,200 per MINUTE !?! Since they live 4 to 6 years and supposedly can remember the location of good flowers do they see my Ranch with it's 18 feeders as Heaven ? Does that make me a God to them ? And most of all where the hell do they all go to sleep (hibernate) every night?
Ummm...back to cooking up and distributing another daily 2.5 gallon pot of sweet nectar........
