west virginia weekend II
I got out to West Virginia again this weekend with friends, bulldogs and basset hounds. Most of the time I read and slept, and that was OK with me as time slows down on the farm. I got some fishing in too, but of course forgot to bring my digital camera when I caught the largest bass of my life, a 14" monster. However, the rest of the fish I caught were merely fingerlings, so it wasn't worth keeping the thing for food, and not worth killing it to show it off. Next time I'll bring the camera. Started some scruff for a return of the beard.
On the drive back me and the hostess were talking and agreed that neither of us are "in love" with DC as a city. It is easy to love New York City, or West Virginia, or this nation, but DC is a tough city to love. DC is the difficult guy you are dating who is very handsome and has a really great career, but he never makes the right decisions, frequently forgets about you, and has a controlling, overbearing mother who keeps calling the shots for him.
My apologies to the Giant PeaPod grocery delivery man who I ignored this morning. I half-remember hearing you pound on the door, call my phone, but I thought it was all a dream. It was interesting to find out that they can just leave it in cooler crates for you if you can't get your ass to the door on time. I 
Peapod.

Are you going to tell stories with your hands slowly expanding until they can stratch no more? Because without that, it's hardly fun to talk of fishing.
Beard for fall, looks good.

Inner monologue of the bulldog in the first pic:
"Figures. That fag is taking photos again. Ugh. And I keep telling him to only get my GOOD side."

Hmm, I thought the bulldog would refer to the "poof" rather than the "fag." It's funnier if you imagine the inner monologue in a stuffy, British accent.

What’s up with the flowing clouds on the Senate Committee on Appropriations website?
I feel like it is some secret message to Evangelicals.

It's God, who is watching us...from a distance.
