Especially Happy First-Day-Of-Fall to you then, [MENTION=9256]burymecloser[/MENTION]


It was worth the wait [MENTION=4945]EJCC[/MENTION] (smile)

That was a great listen. Recently I visited a rain forest. Many of the trees had strangely exposed root systems. It is one of the most enchanting places I have ever visited. Had forgotten what stillness was. Absolute silence has a sound all of it's own.

Moss clung to the ground and hung from trees like pungent lace. A Cougar and her baby were lounging in a tree and seemed to blink "Imagine meeting you here?!". The slugs were the size of Andre the Giant's fist. I normally gag when I see a slug, but these were so large and beautifully patterned they seemed like altogether another creature. Cool, damp air that eventually led to what is called "The Ancient Forest". One tree stump is 27' in diameter. Wondrous!

Oh I wish I was doing a better job of describing how it felt. I will add a couple pics to at least provide visuals:

[MENTION=4945]EJCC[/MENTION]

Lightning.

Also, I just learned how cool tree root systems are. So they're on the list.

Yep I gotta agree with the lightning.

^Lighting captured in acrylic block.

I'm particularly fascinated with dendritic patterns

A few years ago I was sitting in line waiting to catch a ferry [MENTION=13646]Haven[/MENTION]. A girl in a car next to mine was sharing her avocado with the guy driver in that manner and I was gobsmacked as it had never occurred to me to eat it like that.

IF you feel like it would you share what board games you like to play? Have you ever played Dix It?

Damn it's good to see you around!


The above coping skill is brilliant. I am going to borrow that henceforth!


One of my room-mates had a corgi named "Corgi" (smile). It was the sweetest dog. She LOVED going for walks and was so affectionate but asked so little.


Poutine ftw of course (though I truly believe your poutine in the east is superior to what's on offer in the west). :hi:

Hello again!

Haha the trick is to never name them after the person, and that way you can still share your stories without anyone fearing for their safety.

Awwwwww oh my goodness, they are so so cute! I'm so jealous! I feel like if I end up getting one I'm going to be the most psycho obsessed dog person ever. Got pictures of your kid? Oh that's ugly, but here's my corgi!

East as in Montreal? But of course, it's where it comes from. Not that I'm from there but just based on experience. Oddly enough however the best poutine I've had was in Calgary at a food truck. And now I'm drooling.

Ahhhh, good tip (grins)!

I hear you. I sometimes will start to regale my friends with stories about my pet, in return when they are waxing poetic about their kids. Then I am quickly reminded (by their facial expressions) that parent's don't love having their smart, funny children equated with smart, funny animals (laughs).

Oh Montreal. Stares off dreamily with stomach rumbling. Oh if you remember the name let me know! That is where my family lives. If you don't...I will just have to try them one by one I suppose. Dirty job but someone's gotta do it

Vacation

Intriguing! I hadn't really thought of that as a human invention and yet, it so is. Realizing that while I view vacation as standard, it's probably a luxury many in the world aren't allowed. Thanks for the thought propulsion!


Hmmm, how can I live on the coast and have never tried salmon on pizza
