Nevadans?

Vegaschick, thanks so much for the pictures on the other thread! Before I moved to Reno, I lived in Cedar City for a few years and worked for the Forest Service. We went everywhere... Duck Creek, Strawberry, Mammoth Cave, Navajo Lake... there were pine beetles already back then, and we were trying to mark the trees for the loggers to come get, before the beetles spread. It sounds like the beetles won. A few years ago, there was a major landslide on the road going up Cedar Mountain. My grandmother sent me pictures... it was insane. Entire chunks of pavement slid down the mountain. It was sad to see, since I went up that road every day to go to work up in the trees. My mother's side of the family has been in Cedar and Paragonah since pioneer times. My great-grandmother, before she died, lived almost all of her life in a house in Paragonah that her husband had built for her. It was one of those pink brick houses that you can still find there, made from the pink clay there. Their parents had crossed the plains in covered wagons, I believe. My mom was born in Cedar, and my first daughter is buried there. I haven't been back in years, and I know it's grown a lot since then. I used to walk from the park on Main St., all the way to the Walmart that used to be the very top end of the city... about 2 or 3 miles.
Cool. One of my Great grandmother's came west in a covered wagon. She was just an infant though. We have 8 founding fathers (of Maryland) on my Mother's side. Talk about inbreeding!

Thanks! They were excellent - they have a creamy flesh like the red potatoes you get in the store.

It's probably the brand of flytrap Elizabeth. I can't see how location could make that big a difference. BTW that cantaloupe tasted sooo good! I ate half for desert last night and the other half I brought into work where it was a big hit this AM!


Awesome pics vegaschick!

OK, by popular demand, here is how you make the "cool short links"

. First, copy your long URL to the clipboard (highlight and press Control-C). Then, when you are in the editor, just highlight the word or words you want to be a link, and click the icon on the toolbar that looks like the earth with chains around it (probably a subliminial for how we are all slaves

). On the Link Info tab, mouse into the box that says URL and paste in the long URL you copied earlier (Control-V). On the second tab, Target, click the dropdown and choose "New Window (_blank)" if you want the link to open in a new window instead of navigating away from the page they are on - very friendly for links in a blog like this!

If anyone needs me to clarify anything just let me know!
COOL!!! Thanks!

hahaha, i know it, right?!!?
Yeah that doesn't compute for me at all!
 
I guess i have something neat to say...
yesterday one of our regular customers bought us and brought in a 50 lbs bag of layer feed just because. Such a nice thing to do and so extremely helpful. I love our customers!
 
oh and here are some pics of the new happy accidents, Pepper and Pickle. (because they are porkchops babies and all of the showgirls for some reason have "p" names that are food related besides priscilla")

So now we have Priscilla, Porkchop, Pineapple, Pizza, Peaches, Pickle, and Pepper.

I think Pepper is blue and has a vaulted skull and Pickle might be black
