Lovely...

We took a ride along Burnt Mountain today. First bug makes a cracking sound into the windshield and leaves a big glob. The second bug smacks into my kneecap, but felt like a chunk of concrete hit it. This was the result of the third bug. This got caught up my T shirt sleeve. I think I would have preferred the bugs in my teeth.

I Googled home remedies for stings. Toothpaste. Who knew? Of course it was about 45 minutes after I got stung that I could do anything about it.

I look like I'm the host to some alien creature. Wait. Did you say something? Do you hear.......voices? I think....yes, yes....I hear them. It sounds like...kill.....kill....kill them all............

4-Wheeling in the Mountains in Alaska

I came across this pic while looking for something completely different. I was visiting my son who was stationed in Anchorage back in '05. We just finished 4-wheeling in the mountains. I remember our guide carrying a loaded rifle to shoot any bears we might stumble upon. Or should I say, any bears who might eat us. We actually did come across some fresh bear tracks that crossed over the riding path.

If you look at the amount of mud on our jeans you can tell the different degrees of riding fun. Good times.
