At some point, I will get tired of pictures in Joseph

Life turned and wandered
Never to look back again.

Smoke ’em if you got ’em.
Drink up.
Etc.

And don’t get your hopes up about me getting tired of posting pictures of clouds above…everything. It’ll never happen.

We survived the thunderstorm last night, and the zom-Bee didn’t kill me in my sleep. (In the alteration to the time space continuum known as Vacation in which I currently reside, all time references are relative. No, I do not know to what. )

Went on a drive this morning into the Imnaha Canyon, then had lunch back in the Joseph-adjacent Hurricane Ridge after a walk. Saw some more deer.

Mark’s gone fishin’ again. I’m on the front porch with a beverage and a book. Kind of an odd book about a necromancer called Johannes Cabal. Back to fiction today.

So it’s another beautiful day to be grateful for.

For which to be grateful.

Whichever way I say it, I’m happy to be.

It doesn’t get much Wild Westier than this.

The road between Joseph and Imnaha. One of the many places the Nez Pierce got chased out of.

The other night at the store, the clerk was awfully glad she lives in Imnaha so she doesn’t have to deal with all the traffic and crowds in town. Crowding is relative when you’re in a place this remote.

Sometimes you dream…

And sometimes it seems you are right in the middle of a Wild West oil painting.

Watching shadows of clouds as they flow by on the moraine on the opposite side of the lake.

Only dreamier.

Until the thunder and lightning start.

8 years ago today, I married
this adorable gap-toothed guy with Elvis glasses and bleach blond
hair. I seem to have kept him. It was a smart decision.

Exciting events of the day include a minor dog fight and an osprey sighting.

I am starting my..4th?…book of the trip. It’s about infectious
diseases and crazy scientists who experiment on themselves.
Non-fiction. How unlike me!

I just hit a yellow jacket 8 times with
a fly swatter and it didn’t die. Do I need to get a swatter
specific to yellow jackets? Or do you think it was some sort of
zom-Bee that will now return to kill me in my sleep?

Having a good
time, wish you were here, etc.

Sooooo…when you see the lightning
strike and don’t even have time to count to two before the thunder
bolt comes…that’s close, yeah?

Boom, baby. Boom.

Holy fuck. That
is some serious thunder. Like the gods are bowling with huge
granite boulders on a hot tin roof over the lake. And Mark is down
on the dock fishing.

Go, Mark!
