Here’s a rather frightening sight – skulls. Dozens of ’em. Found in an ancient cave? An ancient monestary? The Roman catacombs? Naw – Great America.

Nice day. It rained early, although I didn’t see it. My car did, though. Sigh. Work was fine. Commuting was fine. Everything was fine.

Spent the evening working on Young Women Camp callings. Made some progress.

The weekend will be incredibly busy. Saturday from dawn to late at night will be spent at the youth COPE activity. Ought to be fun. Hard work and fun, that is. Sunday will be normal. Meetings and YW camp callings. And rest.

No toilet news, but I do have disgusting news, so that counts: I think I’d rather have asthma.

I also discovered the second unluckiest person in the world today (right after the first unluckiest, reported here earlier): Pregnant Woman Hit by Car While Fleeing from Bear. Now that’s unlucky.

See you Monday.

Here was the view out the train window yesterday morning. Some guys took their toy out to play. Picture courtesy of the exclusive Blackberry cam. Part of my famous Machinery series.

Young Minds at Work day was very nice. LRNs 1 & 2 and I hung out, worked, visited some cool things, ate sushi, rode the train, drove around in the pickup, visited Weird Stuff Warehouse, and generally enjoyed ourselves.

Speaking of Weird Stuff Warehouse, it’s an interesting place that’s indeed full of weird stuff – mostly extremely obsolete computer equipment that’s expensive and of absolutely no conceivable use to anybody. Doesn’t make you want to go back. I’m sure they’re making money somehow, though.

My Brother-in-law Ken dropped in yesterday afternoon. It was nice to visit with him. He and LRN1 went to Bass Pro for a little while and then we pretty much just sat around and talked until he had to go. Nice but brief visit.

Otherwise an average day. It’s cooled down some but still very pleasant out with a few clouds. Not bad at all this evening.

How about today’s toilet news? They’re getting more convenient.

See you tomorrow.

Here’s LRN2 performing his interpretation of the former statue in the fountain at the Henry Miller estate on Mt. Madonna. Part of my famous Camping series. Also an honorary part of my famous Statue series.

I have lots of Great Art in the queue all of a sudden, including some very good work from Loyal Readers Numbers One and Five. That’s definitely a good problem to have. Some people may not realize how much work it takes to create Great Art.

Not much to report today. My brother-in-law Ken came over for a visit this evening, which is always a welcome event. He had a meeting in the area, apparently. Gave us a copy of a recent book, which was very kind.

LRN1 is working on his summer work plan, thus maximizing the likelihood of success. Good luck, LRN1! Do something useful.

There’s a tiny bit of toilet news today: they’re apparently being outlawed in Sweden. At least in public.

See you tomorrow.

Here’s a hiking trail on Mt. Madonna. Very pretty place. Part of my famous Camping series.

The big news is that LRN1 is home! Welcome home, LRN1. Have a great summer. Let’s get working on that robot.

Otherwise, the day was another hot, hot, hot one. I drove the Miata. It was beautiful this morning and too hot this afternoon. Should have put the top back up and used the A/C. Oh, well. It’s supposed to start cooling off tomorrow, with temperatures in the high 60’s and low 70’s by Saturday and rain predicted a couple of days next week. That’s okay. At least it probably won’t rain on our youth activity on Saturday.

In today’s toilet-related news, we learn that crime definitely does not pay. Maybe they were trying to steal the wrong stuff.

See you tomorrow.

Here’s LRN2 learning how to make cheese. Picture taken during the (duh) cheese factory tour.

Happy birthday to my brother Chris! he and his SO were at our house yesterday. It was nice to see him again and meet her and her two kids. It was a very pleasant day.

Warm weekend. Downright hot yesterday and again today. The pool was marginally warm yesterday – enough so that the kids went swimming while the adults enjoyed sitting in the shade and talking for quite a while. Very relaxing day.

Saturday was nice too. LRN2 and I cleaned the pond filter and washed and waxed my Honda, which now looks wonderful. We also went for a couple of rides in the newly-shocked and -tired Suburban – it really rides nicely now. Huge difference. You really don’t notice how bad things have gotten until you get them fixed.

Normal day at work. A little bit of work and a lot of meetings. Even more meetings (and even less work, probably) tomorrow.

LRN1’s still working on his summer work decision. He has a pretty good offer (at least financially) in Salt Lake, but I don’t think he wants to be there all summer. the job would also require him to coop there during the school year, which would be a little bit difficult. On the upside, he would be making pretty good money for a student and would be definitely working professionally.

He owes them a decision tomorrow. I’ll be interested to see how it turns out.

He’ll be home tomorrow, in any case.

There’s toilet news today! Warn your children.

See you tomorrow.
