Back from the beach, Carkeek Park is the Land of the Bigleaf Maple. How big is that leaf? That's a size 6 shoe.

We caught these fellows trying to catch a salmon or two the same day we saw the kayakers. Maybe we should add four more cold feet to the day's total.

The barbershop quartet Premiere hung up their tight chords in 2006, but got back together in 2008 for a tribute to their mentor, Freddie King. They said goodbye with this very nice performance of Auld Lang Syne.

Happy New Year to you all.

We saw these kayakers off Carkeek Park in early December. Sea kayakers are pretty hardcore. These must be the fourteen coldest feet south of Nome.

Remember the house where the Fiats used to rust? The remodeling has come along nicely. At first, the small scale of the remodel was a little surprising.

Given that the country is now making a rough transition to a reality-based economy, this modest remodel probably makes much more sense.
