I like my place.

While at times I wonder whether I'm where I oughtta be...I am in a pretty good situation and must make the most of it. My life will be better as I embrace my place plus prepare to upgrade.

Lynn & Les: Twins with a Twist

"Lynn, rub my ear!" Les demands. "It's hard to reach" Lynn complains. "Oh, you can...ahhh, a little higher" Les is happy having received his urgent ear massage.



Simply a sample of the hilarious interaction between these 'special' (as Lynn likes to address himself & others mentally challenged) twin brothers Lynn & Les.

We picked up Les at the Boise Airport having flown from Fairbanks Alaska. Boise offered a better fare than Salt Lake & an exciting excursion with a couple brothers from the same mother (at the same time).

A Key Mistake

Rescued by Jason & Alisha who had a AAA insurance card- Thx!

He cometh...tomorrow!

"It'll all get better in time" I sang (along with Leona Lewis) to my brother Boyd, who responded without hesitation, "And time is up! We'll soon open the seventh seal, if we haven't already..."

Such excitement has inspired me many a time to dive deeper into the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. And what better time than Christmas?..when we celebrate His First Coming!

While none of us 'know...the day nor the hour' (Matthew 25:13), 'the hour of His coming is nigh' (Doctrine & Covenants 133:17) and could be closer than we think...especially when bold 'how'd I miss that?' prophecies are fulfilled right in my ears and before my eyes.

President Gordon B. Hinckley told me Saturday October 6, 2001 that the moon turning to blood prophecy (Joel 2:28-32) has been fulfilled, yet I never saw or really heard until Boyd pointed it out to me a few months ago.

Hmmm...how many more are passing me by unaware?..as a thief in the night (1 Thes. 5:2).

Shortest Darkest Day of The Year (Yesterday)

December 21 (A.K.A. Winter Solstice) gave us (Salt Lakers) 9 hours 14 minutes & 51 seconds of daylight, while today we will experience 9 hours 14 minutes & 55 seconds of daylight--a whopping 4 seconds more!

BooYah!

This longer lighter trend will continue until we experience the longest lightest day of the year June 21 for 15 hours 6 minutes & 5 seconds. Just under 6 more hours of daylight.

Sah-wheet!!

We'll go back on Daylight Savings in a couple months (March 8), enjoy the first day of spring in a few (March 21), and be spring skiing, hiking, & biking before long.

Bring it!!!

Hmmm...the winter window's closing quickly--I better get out and slip, slide, & tackle some snow!

So Much Better!

Glad someone stepped up & took responsibility--thx Heidi & Lucy!

(Someone [how about you...Jedd!] needs to step up & get this blogger a decent camera--with autofocus!).

Homeless Choices...

Both homeless. Both sharing planet earth's mattress pad. Both just a few groves away. Both lifestyles so far apart!
The lower picture depicts a disturbing & distasteful setup I discovered for the first time today at the first available tree just above the Huntsman Cancer Institute.
The upper I discovered a couple years ago clean, cozy & inviting. Today I found it the same (minus the tent). And look at it! It's nearly no-traced--except for the flat spot, plus a few tent & rope remnants. This is monumental! A homeless camper chose to clean up after himself (no chance for the lower, unless someone else takes responsibility). Such failure to cleanup creates havoc for us semi-homeless adventurers who occasionally setup shop for a night in a parking lot with a hammock attached to the trunk of a tree & a caRV since security officers are much more likely to question how long you'll be there (creating a mess you likely won't cleanup). Indeed the world (especially for semi-homeless adventurers) would be a different place if the homeless no traced their place(s).
