this 'n that

I think the extensive network of termite tunnels connecting my basement to the outside aided in draining the excess rainwater away from my home. I got no basement leakage at all. It's dry as a bone and snuggly down in my hobbit hole.

Thinking about Rush Limbaugh on Viagra reminded me of the time I spotted another person who we don't want to think about as a sexual person - a very wrinkly Senator Strom Thurmond (when he was alive). I spotted him in Arlington with a young lady friend once. It was spooky. I also saw an aged Tony Randall a few years ago too with a different young lady friend. Eeeeew...

Someone asked me about the park ranger reference I made in a past entry. Yes, I was a park ranger for the U.S. Forest Service (Chugach National Forest, Alaska), U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, Homer, Alaska), and for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Rock Island, Illinois. 2 summers and 1 year, respectively. I was what was called an interpretive park ranger, as opposed to law enforcement or recreation (people) management. In other words, I was the homo in green polyester giving nature programs. No, no porno or hot scenarios ever happened I'm afraid. Aside from the houseboat of homos going through the lock and dam who got all giggly when I waved hello to them in my ranger uniform, nothing untoward happened. And those polyester uniforms are very sweaty and uncomfortable in the summer, fyi. I have very few photos of me in my park ranger uniforms, but I'll go look soon.

I tried to get a park ranger job when I moved here, but their pay is very low, salary cap ceiling insufficient for living a normal life in this region. Plus all the park ranger interpretive jobs were historic in content, rather than wildlife which I preferred to talk about.

Old pictures of Jimbo in the park ranger uniform? Eh.

But do you still HAVE the park ranger uniform? And would it be just a tad snug now? Maybe you should make some NEW pictures, wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
