Bikinis! ooooh! ahhhhh!
And I find they have a special section on "52 Best and Worst BEACH Bodies"...with photos of course ....noticed that when I got home......I'll be looking over the magazine tonight after going to the amphitheater and listening to the US Marine Band and a patriotic program...
I think I saw that at the store tonight. One of the “worst” ones looked mighty fine to me, had just the right amount of junk in the trunk.
Uh-oh, will this post get me suspended? The other time it happened *was* over the 4th, a few years ago...
Of course, that was due to one of my extremely rare “report abuse” uses, in which I said, to the mod:
“This [characterization deleted] is being a real [different characterization deleted] and this isn’t the first [blankity-blank] time this [characterization suggestive of a deviant activity] has done this. Can you get this miserable [equating with some deleted body part] off my back?”
I really don’t see how this was such a problem. Of course, I may have forgotten a few choice turns of phrase, and maybe a couple more characterizations.
;’)
LOL!
Go to go to the concert....I’m late...
We stay at Yachats fairly often, usually at the Adobe. We like to eat at the Landmark - plain food but what a view (at least until the place falls into the bay).
Yachats is a popular destination for gays (in case you didn't know already), but they don't seem to be in your face like when you see them at a pride week. It is the place actor David Ogden Stiers has lived for years. Whether there's any connection between his residence and the culture that has developed there, I have no idea.
Star magazine. Not sure how to respond on that post. heheh.
Rickreall, Luckiamute, and Umpqua (if spoken), they will almost always ask how to spell.
I think there's no end to this.
The neighbors may have a legitimate complaint. Need to see many more pictures to know.
If you never have, take the road to the top of Cape Perpetua, and you'll think you're on top of the world.
LOL ... you are a TRUE patriot! Happy 4th! ;)
Yeah..., been down there and up there... and that’s quite a view of the ocean up there at Cape Perpetua...
I had to drive quite a ways to get down there, but I always did like it down there on that part of the Coast.
Didn’t know about Yachats being a popular destination for the gays, though. I did think that Yachats would be a nice place to get a house, however...
Ken Kesey had a house further on down south on US 101, too...

The Key-Sea Koast House is owned by Oregon Author Ken Kesey. This two-bedroom, one bath, home with separate studio sits on a bluff and offers a spectacular ocean view. It is located seven miles south of Yachats in a beautiful area on the central Oregon coast.
The house and studio comfortably sleeps six or more. It is tastefully and completely furnished. Some of the amenities include: wood stove, washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, TV/VCR (no cable), radio/cassette player, telephone, books, videos and games.
Access to the beach is 1/3 of a mile north at Stonefield Beach Wayside. Nearby attractions include: Cape Perpetua, Devils Churn, Heceta Head Lighthouse, Sea Lion Caves, and the Oregon Coast Aquarium.

I thought I might want to rent that house sometime for a vacation. I haven’t checked it out yet, to see how the location is, and what access to the beach is like.
I live in your state. ;o)
I was at Cannon Beach today.
It was 61.
So...I returned to the Portland ‘burbs in all of it’s heat and glory...
and absolutely loved it!
Today is the way Independence Day is supposed to be...in the South. ;o)
The north wind that blows on the beach through the daylight hours in July and August is sort of maddening and probably the one thing about living there I don't really miss. Of course when you go just a couple miles inland it's gone.
We had a nice 4th down in Eugene, the heat in little week long spells is not so bad. We went over the the oldest girl's place for some burgers & beers and the usual “quiet” neighborhood celebration (I don't know why Oregon makes people go out of state for the good fireworks).
I’m glad you had such a nice Independence Day!
Spending it with the family is the only way to go.
Our kids and grands were camping with the evil* in-laws, so we didn’t get to spend any time with them.
However, our nephew from Texas was here in a Drum corps competition.
He’s the one who wanted to go to the beach as he’s never been here before.
My idea of a beach is anything in the Caribbean, Hawaii or Florida. ;o)
* JK about that...they are actually very nice, though my son-in-law’s step-mom bears a resemblance to “evil” every now and then. lol
My mother in law was great. She's been gone 12 years and the wife and I still miss her very much.
But my father in law is a complete waste of skin who unfortunately still occupies it (having by some strange miracle survived his term in the penitentiary), and to add insult, breathes air just two miles from here. Deserving of no kind words, I can only say hell is too good for him. Hopefully he'll go back to California to die so we don't get stuck burying him anywhere around here.
