Hummingbird

He was just sitting on a wire the other day and since I've never seen a hummingbird sit still for so long, I had to take a picture of the little guy.

The fab Sony camera responsible for all our fab photos has gone missing somewhere between Ballard and Canada, so until it is found or a replacement obtained, photo postings will be few and far between. Get ready for more YouTube accordion video than you ever imagined.

Dudley Do-right


from the fertile mind of Jay Ward

We're off to Canada for a few days and we won't be cracking Dudley Do-right jokes. Canadians sometimes bristle over Dudley. They think he's a bit insulting. Granted, Dudley can be a bit of a doofus, but his heart is in the right place and he tries to do the right thing. As national symbols go, that's not so bad.

Sunday accordion blogging: Caroling commandos

As they say, this is cool on so many levels.

As if there's not enough in this world to worry about, we now have to watch out for falling attacking cats from apartment buildings. I'm staying indoors...

Not sure this old International truck is really such a good advertisement for Bob's Used Cars.
