Ron, hope you and yours stay safe

Thanks Diva! So far we are fine here. I feel sorry for those closer to the epicenter though

Today they are reporting that the 6.2 was a "pre-shock" and this 7.1 was the "real" quake. A 6.2 PRE?!?! They are expecting aftershocks for weeks if not months. Maybe California really is going to break off into the Pacific!


You and @drumstick diva share a birthday!


Dang turkey is too smart for her (or is that your?) own good!

When the 6.2 hit a seismologist said that there was a 50% chance that a bigger one would hit in the next two days. 7.1 is very strong. It took about 20 minutes for the wave to reach us and move the hanging lights, indoor chimes and blinds.

This is all original! Restored by the guy kid 3 works for.

This was funny... environmental group.. driving a bus in the parade that was BELCHING out HUGE clouds of black smoke.... kid 3 said maybe instead of spending money on the fancy paint job... they should have fixed the mechanicals.

Every maybe 20 feet it would stall out and one guy would jump out to pop the hood and fiddle. There were a BUNCH of people IN the bus. They should have shut it off and pushed it. That would have been very pro environment.

That looks like a fun parade!

Will the games include some scottish pipers? Will people get to be blessed by a Queen Mary impersonator? They do that here at the Scottish Games!

I need to go to Alaska.

 

[microchick]

I always wanted to go there too. Then I think about the weather and the skeeters big enough to slap saddles on and postpone my daydreams about going there...

Great parade, Al. I love small towns, which is why we live outside of one with a population of 1300

This one is fore sale...yeah

Put a blade on that and you will never have a problem plowing again!

This was funny

Or really sad. Maybe your mechanically minded son can fix up that bus for them.

Morning all my best egg customer came by picked up an 18 and a 12 the 12 goes to his wifes (great gal) father ... I remember the parades from being in Juneau all those years
much more creative all is fair there but Avon skin so soft was the only thing to stop killer size mosquito's right now they are having 80 degree weather up there also

Had a great time at the swap, sold turkeys, quail, chickens and a rabbit. Swapped more quail for a pedigreed rabbit buck ( my current boy shoots blanks)!

 

[bruceha2000]

Sounds like a great day! Maybe your buck will make a nice hasenpfeffer since he doesn't make nice bunnies.

Speaking of bunnies, we've seen no babies this year though there are 2 adults hopping around. I guess they are the same gender.

I've seen one baby this year. Cute little dickens was playing on a log at the edge of our timber. It'd hop up on the log, hop off, run around the log and do it again. Did that for aout 10 minutes with me watching it. Ahhhhh to be young again.
