Slipped up

Should this kind of irony even be allowed?
And more importantly - how do you scale this?!

Winter trails

Winter hiking usually occurs on those overcast, drizzle laden days
that happen to get near 50° F.
Having a snowy hike with a comfort level allowing decent
enjoyment of the scenery is more challenging.
I was fortunate to have a sunny day at 27° F that felt
warm enough while the sun was bright.
Trails are easy to see covered with snow.

Hail to "Old Glory"

There are people all over the world who would give a ton to be a US citizen.
If you were born here I say this: Wake UP - be an AMERICAN!
Be the American our fore-fathers created the US for.

What do we even know?
Humans have a high level of self importance. After all they communicate in complex languages, have invented incredibly complex tools and ponder the deepest of philosophical questions (that of the true nature of self and being...)
But what do they really know?
How about what these two have to communicate about?

Kitteh's - a new batch.
A mom kitty has been hanging out the last few months...we knew she was a mom in march when she came to visit and was much smaller.
A few weeks ago she brought her kittens to us. We think she was living behind an empty house and someone just acquired it.
Feels like a great honor that a semi-feral cat trusts us with her kittens. They are living in our back yard right now and seem very happy and healthy.

Catalina kitteh
Catalina stayed with us for a short while (too short) while she recovered from some disease or other.
She came from a litter of stray cats living in the country and she was really sweet. One of the best cats I ever saved. Too bad someone gave her away while she was at the vet!

Wasps
Some wasps working on their home.

Some people I know kill wasps. I let 'em live. You have to respect a species of creature, some of which can carry 10 times their own weight, and many with built in defenses. Imagine being able to carry 2000 lbs and being able to defend yourself against a creature a 100 x your size!
Look at the one upper right - see the odd cap color on top of its head? I think that might be the queen.

Black Snake
A black snake I found slithering in my yard - this guy was about 3ft. long.

This is an amazing pic because this snake was on the move.
I don't understand why people are afraid of snakes. Every time I see one they are running away - but then I am of Irish descent.

Chaos tea!
Yes, CHAOS tea. How many of you remember this divine substance. What I always wanted to know was what kind of chaos did they use and how did they get it to stay in there?

ASCL Trophy
My ACSL trophy from the bygone days of 1984. What is ACSL you ask? American Computer Science League. Yep yep. High school students from all over the good 'ol USA compete every spring for trophies just like this one. And what a background - a VAX11 assembler book. Hrm, did I do that on purpose?
