To be fair the next town's legion has a steak fry and they never run out of booze. This one is a once a yr fish held the Sat before Memorial Day. Their post seems only to be used for their meetings and the towns fitness class according to the sign on the door. I didn't know any of this till I went. I just saw the sign at the steak fry legion and went to support a local group instead of a restaurant chain.

When that happens to me, sometimes I can "right click" on the image and it brings up a pop-up menu with the option to "view image". That works about 75% of the time for me. @coolerifyoudid 's images are always a crapshoot for me though...I think he uses a different sort of imaging process. Most of mine are either cut/paste from the internet or uploaded from my computer. I've never uploaded any phone photos directly to CF, though - I have to download to my computer first, or put them on FB in private (me only) mode, then copy/paste.Sorry, but I don't see the pics you post sometimes.All I get is the little icon in parentheses and "IMG". I'm sure it was beautiful!
My wife and I decided we're going to go to Singapore for a few days starting tomorrow to wrap up our trip. She's been before but says it's a cool place that I'll enjoy.
We intentionally didn't buy a return ticket to Bangkok where we fly back from on Sunday so that we could make a decision once we were here. We've really enjoyed Thailand but it's always nice to explore another country when you travel so far.
Our bucket list is Australia & New Zealand. We had to wait for retirement though, because we learned the hard way that flying to Japan for a six day stay is hard on older bodies! If I'm going to do that 22-hour flights/layover thing again, I'm going to spend several weeks.
Used to have one of those before the remodel when the kitchen window faced a backyard that is bigger than it is now. A couple nights CWW#2 and I saw a flying squirrel who had stuffed itself into the feeder. Took us a moment to figure out what it was. Very cool.
The feeder that holds the peanuts for the red-bellied woodpecker is on a pole mounted to the railing on our balcony. It has a squirrel baffle on it. The other day I saw a squirrel leap from the roof to the top of the feeder. I'm running out of ways to stop the little buggers!
New Zealand and Australia have been at the top of my list too. We actually met a couple from Australia today and told them we're planning on doing a trip soon. The problem is that we'll likely only make it a two week trip which really isn't enough time to see a lot there.Our bucket list is Australia & New Zealand.

Our trip to Thailand went through Japan and was almost 30 hours when you factor in layovers. It was not fun.

It would have been approx 22 hours each way. Unfortunately, due to weather in DSM, we missed our connection in Denver, and the next day's flight was full. They wanted us to stay in Denver for a night, get up early & fly to San Francisco, stay there for the night, then get up early and get on a plane to Tokyo. We said Nuh-uh - you put us on a plane to SF tonight, we'll stay there two nights & then fly out. We had a full day to play around in SF, so that made up for the delay. Only problem was our bags went on to Tokyo. We had our carry-ons. We had to find a store near our hotel and pick up clean socks & underwear, and a fresh shirt for Lew...but then it was allllllll day at the wharf.
THIS is why I had sons!
I'd argue it was more a genetic issue........
I'm thankful for my SIL. She was pretty helpful.
that may be the only time I say that...
A real flying squirrel = cute and interesting
Fox and gray squirrels = tree rats
Red squirrels = owl feed

Just sent a follow-up letter for a PT job that seemed like a shoo-in.
But, no news for three weeks now, and that's never been a good thing.

I guess we got some pretty serious hail in some parts of the city this morning

I've tried that, but I think our blocking program here at work (we can't view Twitter convos, for example) is what keeps me from seeing them.

The flying part would be cool. Sadly, we did find a non-flying squirrel stuffed in the feeder and mowing down on a couple of occasions. After some failed interventions, I started mixing the bird seed with pepper sauce before putting it out there. That seems to have slowed down the cursed tree rat. And yes, I am a horrible person, and there are websites out there that suggest squirrels encountering pepper sauce might scratch their own eyeballs out. Don't care!
