Be Afraid.

I was frightened by a dust bunny this morning.

Walking into my office in the wee hours, the office door about four feet from the laundry room, I saw something on the floor by the washer.

I started to move in for a closer look and thought -- hold on -- might that thing jump on me?

Scene safety is the FIRST thing they teach EMTs and firemen.

So, I paused, I peered, I stepped back, retrieved a flashlight and took a second look.

Look at this freakin' thing. It looks like it has horns!

Now, I might say, since I'm currently writing a horror script, I have creeped myself over the edge.

Or, I might lead you to believe, we grow 'em extra big in Montana.

But, I think, truth be told, someone needs to clean house.

And keep the hallway lights on.

Can You See Me Now?

Some Birds Are Quiet

They just hum.

Space

Super moon night -- cloudy in Montana.

bummer.

Venus transit -- cloudy in Montana.

:P

Regular old almost summer night -- Moon.

Wild Life

This is a Downy Woodpecker.

Cute as a button, isn't he?

This is what he does at my house every morning at 6 AM.




Sorry for the shaky camera work, but it was early and I was in my jamis.

Shaky camera work can always be attributed to the camera person being in their jamis.

And here's what it sounds like inside the house.




Good morning.
