Kattmandu ala Blip

We re filling up a pool at my sister s place.  Big fun...well, not yet.

There is a 5700 hectare forest fire burning south of us. It was in Washington, but it's jumped the border into BC. I am not sure how far away it is, but we don't usually see smoke until the late afternoon...this footage was taken at 7am.

Go find your bone and lay in the sun.

It's raining...and it's a long weekend here.  I am pretty sick with strep throat or something....sucks.

Dig it.

Sorry for the annoying 'ticking' noise...me fidgeting with a pen.

The last installment in our drive to Apex Ski Hill

The last installment of our trip to Apex Ski Hill.

I forgot to mention this 'Drive to a Ski Hill' is a triptych.  The first posted yesterday (http://kattmandu.blip.tv/file/30897), this is the second piece and tomorrow's will be the third.

It was a great day for a drive to the local ski hill...Apex Mountain

Don't Let Congress Ruin the Internet Right now Congress is pushing a law that would abandon the First Amendment of the Internet -- a principle called "network neutrality" that preserves the free and open Internet. Congress needs to hear from you today or they will hand over control of what you do online to companies like AT Politicians are trading favors for campaign donations from these companies. They're being wooed by people like AT&T's CEO, who says "the Internet can't be free." Sign this (http://action.freepress.net/campaign/savethenet) petition to tell your elected representatives to protect Internet freedom now.

I was sitting out back of our apartment enjoying the sunshine when some heart-shaped balloons happened by. I am not sure where they came from, but the way the breeze was tossing them around, I would swear they are telling me something.

Time for something different.  No more fluff.
