I really don't know what to say about this one. . . . . This fishing camp is in a little place called Hurricane on the Tensaw River.
Huge bathroom area with a well, hand pump, provision to heat water using fire wood, space to dry clothes...phew....huge....
It's not a typhoon, but winds with the strength of typhoon. Up to 150km/h gusts. Many companies closed for the afternoon and we worked from home instead. Flights were also cancelled and trains stopped. The added rain didn't help but it's fun to see the it raining sideways.
Whilst at home, the winds were really howling. Wish I had better windows.... oh well..
That's the tip of my little finger, resting next to the most incredibly teensy arachnid, in red no less. I spotted him in my bathroom, crawling across the floor. At first, I thought he was a speck of dust. Then I noticed that his movements weren't very dust-like. I encouraged him to climb onto a piece of paper, then escorted him outside where he could find food and water and maybe even a girlfriend. If I see a bunch of these little critters this spring, I'll know I done good. Update: It's a mite. Maybe a Red Whirligig Mite - Anystis baccarum. Or a spider mite. You make the call ;-)
I got to attend one day of BJDC in Austin, Texas, last Saturday. We drove down just for the day, because we had to be back in DFW on Sunday for Blythecon. It was totally worth it though. I got to see so many cool things, but like always, I didn't take nearly enough photos. These are what I did managed to take.
The major highlight for me was getting to meet daisydayes! I have admired her on flickr for quite a long time, and might have embarrassed myself by fangirling a little (oops). But it was just so exciting! Her dolls are even more amazing in person.
This griffin was unbelievably amazing. I was awe struck. I don't even know where to begin!
One of those significant
head days, memories, rehashing the past, with the stirrings of a
new cycle inside, hands in dirt,
And lo and behold,
In the one nook of the house where snow can't seem to
last, the first snowbells bloom,
Never before this early.
It's because of the plastic sheath.
Paper cuts are dangerous!
TJ's badge name, a reference to the bad anime Garzey's Wing. It makes sense, since he heads the Bad Anime Panel.
The monolith is a 14.12 meter (46-foot) pillar carved of a single block of stone and consisting of 121 naked figures coiling together toward the top, starting with adult figures at the bottom and mounting towards infants at the top. To complete the design of Vigeland's plan for the monolith alone took three stone cutters from 1929 to 1943. It is a massive symbol of the struggle for existence, resurrection, the yearning for higher spaces, the cyclical nature of life.

Couldn't help but post just one more from this mini session. He is such a happy kid and so full of expression.
Meet the hardest party girl I've ever known, my best friend and cousin Alexis Sorman. Classy-runs in the family, obviously.
When I do this, men go out of their minds and propose to me on the spot 99.999999 percent of the time.
State Revenue Collections Press Conference 5-4-18
Gov. Justice: Revenue collections move up, state headed for strong finish to 2018 Fiscal Year
Fitch Ratings moves state's bond rating outlook from Negative to Stable in advance of Roads to Prosperity general obligation bond sale
CHARLESTON, WV – West Virginia’s General Revenue Fund collections for last month were $23.7 million above estimates for April with cumulative collections for the year now standing at $3.49 billion which is 99.9 percent of year-to-date estimates and 4.4 percent above the prior year.
Also, early this morning, Fitch Ratings has announced that they have assigned a AA bond rating for the forthcoming $800 million general obligation bond sale for the Roads to Prosperity program and has upgraded West Virginia’s rating outlook from negative to stable.
“With two months left in the Fiscal Year the state’s economy continues to greatly improve and the numbers are impressive,” Gov. Jim Justice said. “We expect to finish the Fiscal Year in great shape and we are approaching the new Fiscal Year with great expectations.
“The Roads to Prosperity program is about to bear fruit, we’ll be selling $800 million in general obligation bonds this month to launch that historic infrastructure program,” said Gov. Justice. “There has been an uptick in gas well drilling due to co-tenancy legislation and pipeline construction and coal severance taxes remain a stable revenue source.”
“We are continuing our movement forward and the hope is real,” Gov. Justice added. “Our story is unbelievable. If we don’t tell it ourselves, the national media is going to tell it. We ought to be celebrating the happy days and that’s what today truly is.”
April saw a consistent and positive trend on a number of indicators including personal income tax, wage and salary withholding and sales tax.
“The state’s economy under the leadership of Gov. Justice is growing,” said Revenue Sec. Dave Hardy. “Last June the Governor raised our revenue projections for the current Fiscal Year by $170 million and he was right on. We are on a great path.”
Highlights for April include:
Collections of $535.3 million were $23.7 million above estimate and 6.3% ahead of last year. Year-to-date collections of more than $3.49 billion were equal to nearly 99.9%of the year-to-date estimate and nearly $146 million higher than last year.
Personal income tax collections exceeded estimate in April by more than $13 million due to a 10.4% gain in withholding tax collections. Cumulative collections of more than $1.6 billion were $52.3 million above estimate and 6.5% ahead of last year.
Corporation net income tax collections exceeded the April estimate by $4.6 million. Year-to-date collections were $1.8 million above estimate and 0.4% ahead of last year.
Severance tax collections exceeded estimate by more than $5 million in April. Year-to-date collections of $273.7 million were 21.8% ahead of last year.
Insurance premium tax collections were nearly $5.3 million ahead of estimate in April. Cumulative receipts were more than $6.5 million ahead of estimate.
Even though consumer sales tax collections fell nearly $3 million below estimate in April, collections were still 3.6%ahead of last year.
General Revenue Fund collections remain on target to meet or exceed year- end estimates.
Cumulative State Road Fund collections of nearly $667 million were $22.4 million above estimate and 19.2% ($107.5 million) ahead of last year.
I visit the topsy turvy world of theatre where a fabricated story is partly believable and sometimes fun. The mail I got today regarding my sisters death is anything but fun or believable. C’mon Mr Peter MacLeod ( director of Renfrewshire Council ) get real, I may visit fiction however I do not live in it. I am serious, you have a serious problem with your ( Home Care ) staff if you honestly believe the version of events they present to you "clarifies the position" Someone died mate, that is real. Derek Mackay Msp knows more about this situation than you, because he got involved and he did make a difference. All I ask for is ownership, truth & justice, the family do not want legal or media exposure. GO ACT if you can.
