do your part!

this was on the ground next to an apartment complex dumpster.

i am the first to agree with "one man's trash is another man's treasure."

i respect the enthusiasm and the sentiment. it's fairly judgy/preachy and greener than thou, however, and i doubt anybody will take heed.

the 'habitat for humanities' bit makes me smile.

pomegranates

it's 6500 miles from chile to asheville. how fresh can they be?

before - after

pretty effective way to advertise, here. never saw anything like this before.

solstice

here it is. the longest day of the year. i am trying my best not to be sad about it (they're only getting darker) and instead to live in the moment and appreciate the fact that it's still light at 9pm, and will be for a couple more weeks.

i am typing amidst a summer squall, it's pouring rain, i hear thunder, and i also see the sun over the valley less than a mile away. dynamic.

baby bonanza

it really seems like every one of my best friends and family has a baby under the age of 3 right now. it's wild how they all have such different personalities and styles, in line with their parents' personalities of course. though they are spread out across the country, i would love to get them all together. especially in like 13 years.

two more tots joined the party this week, and if you ask me they look like tough little cookielets. and perfect prom dates in 2027!

introducing...finley!

and...lucas!

muchos adorables, no?

ethical half fry

imagine yourself at a baseball game.

you are sharing a basket of fries with someone you love.

it comes down to the last fry.

it's a big fry.

cliff hanger

hiking with nacho yesterday, the river was raging and full. it's hard to keep him out of the water. i tried to get him positioned in front of the rapids for a picture and said "Sit" and he sat and fell in a hole.

he was cool with it.

i wish i were more like nacho. i would have freaked out, fallen backwards and cracked my skull and spine and died. which seems like an okay way to go sometimes. better than stomach cancer. 

he also saw a cairn. and became mildly over excited.

My Potato Project; The Importance of "Organic"

positive momentum

party sombrero

yesterday was nacho's birthday. he has been hopping all over this world for 8 years now.

he ate some hamburger with bacon and tomato.

he has a new hero that he found on the internet - a bitch named taffy. she is 19 years old. she goes to his vet. nacho would like to live another 11 years too.

happy birthday nacho supreme!

many vaguely dirty words...and where's the vineyard?
