Gday Yanks. If it didn't dain here it wouldn't be WA. That's why it's so green here. I went for a walk in the rain yesterday but it was just sprinkling. Keeps the air clean too. We call it liquid sunshine
I love all your pics you come up with J.
I'm on my second day of inspections. It was raining so hard yesterday morning I had to wear my pink steel toed rainboots. Love em! Off to work I go. Wishing everyone a pleasant day.
It's a Hurricane Katie day here. She is madder than a wet hen because she went to the pharmacy early this morning to get her flu shot, but the pharmacist wasn't in yet. Instead of waiting, or going back later, she's decided that stomping around cussing and slamming doors will make the world bow down to her

If it weren't for the bears & moose, it wouldn't be Montana
People who live a couple blocks from work are driving now. Apparently a cow with a couple calves has parked herself in the park & it's not safe to walk through there until they move on. The bears haven't been spotted yet, but they come into the village every year around this time. It just means I can't cart my bagels outside to let them cool down for the next month or 2. Bears, not all that scary. Moose, on the other hand... that's the only animal I never want to meet up with unexpectedly. Bears run away. Moose are unpredictable. They might trot off, they might decide that you need to die. Immediately.
That Darwin guy was really on to something.

So are deer. I've heard and read more stories of people getting gored or stomped by deer than any other animal.
When I lived in MT it was on the edge of the grizzly habitat. We saw a huge sow walking down the gravel road in front of the house. Needless to say we all stayed indoors. Many Moose. Whoever that is taking that picture is asking for it.
I still don't know how you do it Miss D. That has to be so rough. Somethings are never easy. Hang in there my dear, there's always up sides, it's just a matter of not missing them when they pop in.I stay up until around 3am, and sleep until around 10am. There is no way I could handle dealing with Katie starting at 6am! She goes to bed around 10pm so I have precious few hours to myself
Those phone cradles are pretty sweet looking Isaac!
Oz, clearly you've never seen Black Friday at JoAnn's! Those crazy crafter women need a bouncer
Oh god, You will NEVER Ever catch me out doors when Black Friday is going on. Nope, won't even ship.
People die in those mobs, plus it gives you a glimpse on how truly greedy humanity can be. Passed few jobs that involved working on a Black Friday was always my last day. (Not a great work history)That is so Awesome J5!! I Love that!! I love your artwork so much man.
Deer during the rut can be lethal, but it's pretty rare. They're much more predictable than the moose. Moose, you just never know. They don't need to be provoked or threatened what so ever to go full on bloodlust rage. I had one in my backyard before I bought the place, but they usually don't come this far into the valley. Same with the bear - we have griz & black bear in the area though. I've seen them in a few different spots less than 5 miles from the house. With the exception of a sow with cubs, they almost always run away if they hear or smell you coming. Even when they do attack it's predictable & you can figure out why. Moose... not so much.
There's not just one guy asking for it in that photo. Think of the idiot behind camera #2 taking the picture we're looking at. Even with a zoom lens, they're both way too close.
Edit: I always forget that more-on is a censored word here. Yet idiot nor moronic are not. Go figure.
I don.t want to tangle with any of them. Deer cause more harm because they're hunted more but if you give them room no problem. Moose on the other hand will run you down like you said.
Isaac, thank you buddy.
Isaac, thank you buddy.
I'm guessing only a tourist would be dumb enough to get close enough to take that pic. I used to see moose when I lived in Maine...safely from inside the house.
I was able to calm Katie down by telling her I'd take her tomorrow so she wouldn't have to drive.

Happy Friday, everyone.
