In my quest to get us out of the house and doing fun stuff...

We went down to Nine Mile Canyon on Saturday.

We thought it would be cool.

And it kind of was.

But it was also kind of a bust, to be honest. Either whoever wrote the guide to the canyon was on crack, or we are just that unobservant, because we didn't see a whole bunch of stuff that they said was there. And you've heard the phrase "forty miles of bad road"? Yeah. It's not paved. And it's more than forty miles. And it was hot. With no signage.

I want my BLM tax dollars to work harder than that, dammit.

And we also saw a huge fire. :(

But I got pix. ( Under the cut, because whoa, they're big... )

I saw an icon at customers_suck today...

...and so I stole the idea and made one of my own. The icon I saw was a one-panel-er that mentioned Joss instead of Tim, but Tim's been screwed SO MANY times more than Joss has, so I bring you:



Not that I'm bitter.

In other news, I found out today that a bee can sting after its head has been chopped off, so I may have to tweak a scene in the BeeFic slightly. Yay for my tax dollars at work, answering my strange questions (I asked the USDA).

AND...there's a headline on Drudge that says: Bush Spares Libby From Prison... YAY! That's all there is so far, but I guess it's breaking news and we'll hear something more pretty soon. Medved is reporting that the sentence has been commuted. EXCELLENT.

ETA: Right after I hit the "post" button, a link popped up on Drudge.
