Went past a sign to a lodge---there are quite a few small lodges here...sign said "Trophy Lodge" with a pic of a bear on it....made a mental note not to do business with them.

Bought some hostess cupcakes (an extreme rarity for me; now and then I have to remind myself what junk food tastes like so I can remember not to buy it again) and ate one of them down by the creek. Saw some bears and didn't call the cops. Threw the other one in the back of the truck and took off....stopped and took it out because I was afraid a raven might eat it and get sick.

so how was everyone else's day?

Uh...how many rep points do I have to get to get one of those gold stars? I should have been there by now. WTF??

That is actually quite a lovely post.

I am not sure I understand the whole rep thing. I am just trying to figure out how to respond correctly....

I gave you some rep for this post and left a comment that you should be able to see when you click on "settings" in the left of the little blue and white bar.

Today would have been a perfect day to go out and take pics but I was busy tossing out idjits, picking up fish, flash freezing a couple bags of the last fireweed blossoms; some poor woman walked into the place today saying she was looking for work and I slapped a w-4 in front of her before she could weasel out so I did make some progress.

Right now the sunset is incredible. Goodnight everyone, and RIP Senator Kennedy.
