We went out and tried to burn the apple tree pile that is in the back forty...
But in the end, all we could get to burn was the paper... It's just too wet.
As the last flame died out we all felt a sense of failure and dispair...
Even Gidget lost all hope.
~sigh~ Another day perhaps...
To everything there is a season...
Still at da areoport. Flight appears to be a little delayed.

Oh, darn.
Kinda wet here too. Big'o heatwave, got up to thirty. Now we are expecting a big snow tonight and tomorrow morning.
Tried a new thing today. Since I'm gone for two weeks and didn't really want to leave the Jeep at the airport that long... plus the cost would have been pretty high...
I got one of those town cars to pick me up. I like it. Not a full-on limo, and not the shared-shuttle. I've never liked using the shuttle since you always end up making some kind of milk-run there and back and it takes forever. But the town car setup was pretty sweet. They pick ya up and take ya straight there. When I get back there's supposed to be the guy standing there at baggage claim with my name on a sign. So, we'll see. For this length of stay, it'll be considerably cheaper than airport parking.
Anyway...
I bet Jack could have gotten it started.
Michael Yon, embed reporter par excellance, takes pictures of all the weapons caches he runs across. He's run across a mystery weapon lately, and he's wondering if anyone can identify it.
Check it out here, at http://www.drudgereport.com/flash2.htm. It's also on Michael Yon's site (www.michaelyon-online.com), but apparently interest in this picture has bogged down his server. Drudge's infrastructure is more robust.
It's apparently a puzzler ...
LOL!
