Are you Smarter Then My 5th Grader?

You have 3 tigers, 1 leopard, 4 lions, 2 jaguars, and 2 cheetahs, how cats with spots?

Is a yellow Jacket is a Wasp or a Bee?
Do you hold a recorder like a flute or an oboe?
Which lasted longer the Revolutionary War or the Civil War?

She tried, two Saturdays in a row, but when the questions are spoken to you, you have only a minute to answer, and you are answering in front of a panel of judges, things are much harder. Her little heart was a little broken that we weren't going to be spending June 28th in the real LA, but nothing a breakfast at IHOP couldn't fix.

We had Barley's Moley-Mole, removed, he is still a little shy about the scar, but you can tell he is feeling better about his appearance.

I finally am cleaning out the garage, I am finally (or making John) figuring out what to do with some of the junk he brings home. Things will be very different from my drawing, we decide the drawing would be to small to grow anything in. OHH I can't wait till next spring!

Don't ask me to baby sit

On my way home from the store today, driving up Patterson, I saw a strange site, a Magpie chasing a squirrel across the road. The Magpie was ascending from the squirrels back, while I was just trying to grasp what exactly I was seeing, I forgot I was driving and I ran over the squirrel. I don't think I have ever killed any animal (maybe a fish or two) until this week.

I miss all the good stuff

The story around the hood goes... This Mama moose dropped two calves, in the neighbors yard (the BIG HOUSE) while we were away at the Hole in The Wall. One of the calves was stillborn and mama hung out for a few days protecting it. The neighbor called the Troopers and Fish and Game for them to come take care of the body of the calf. He was told they would only come out if the moose was alive and causing problems, a dead moose was his problem. So he bagged it and left it out front for the garbage man. Here's his question... a silencer? Fresh meat? really it just died there.

The Wolf Den

I found Google SketchUp, how cool is this?

I can even, if I tried hard enough put the Wolf Den into Goolge Earth, or visa versa, how cool is that? Also, while online searching for sized of various objects I ran into this, I think the other Clans may want to check it out!

We made it safely home, despite the monsters we encountered.
