Ok. I'll get to work. Maybe she'll go on an extended fishing vacation.

All it will take is 42,000 posts and 41,857 avatar changes and Uly will be #1.

Yeah, I"m kinda surprised he didn't change for this version of the rankings.

Surely there's a picture of a heat pack out there somewhere....

Does this work?

Nope - it didn't.

And Nelly and I are together again in the Valley of Death. Might as well crack open a couple of cold ones and kick back. We'll be here a spell.

I did not move up, despite the somnolent BB's ahead of me.

I'm not gratuitive by nature.

I must try to become so.

Maybe the personality change will help with my next audition.

Too late for you guys to defend yourselves. I'd say you're both stuffed....

I don't know if I could handle the length of fishing vacation it would take. We'll be doing lots of fishing on our one or two week trip to AK next year, and I fully intend to take the laptop and see what I can get.

Thanks as always for doing this, LB.

I could not resist this pic. I got both "little beast" and "packing heat."

The author failing to detect a large predator because of poor senses. (Laos, 2003)

People are weak. I once had a semi-domesticated monkey of perhaps thirty pounds jump on me in Bali because it wanted a banana I was eating. I was a husky 180 and lifted weights. I tried to push the thing off of me, and instantly realized I couldn’t. The little beast was ferociously strong. I gave it the banana.
A man cannot outrun a toy poodle, cannot climb well (and anyway there aren’t trees in open territory), cannot swim naturally, has teeth useless as weapons, no claws, and poor musculature. (Why the latter? Strength isn’t of value in survival?) He can neither smell nor hear an approaching big cat (say) and, unless armed, couldn’t do anything about it anyway. Hiding isn’t a choice: People are noisy, their children uncontrollably so. When unwashed, humans reek. Our young are extraordinarily helpless for long years.

Were we already packing heat when we swung down from the trees?

I don't think you can catch much with a laptop.

Your dulcet tones, if I'm lucky.

Er, diction.

Uh, typing.

Oh, heck -- I don't know what I mean, how are y'all gonna?

I didn't even realize this was out. But I'm still a boring basic black. --Bob

You've outdone yourself this week, Sprots! Marvellous commentary and a very curious picture. I wonder if there's some distortion in that from using a wide-angle lens or if the Laotians really did build it to resemble a giant jack-o-lantern?

I think it's the Great Pumpkin.

Ah, of course!

I wonder why Linus never told us that the Great Pumpkin was a Laotian deity?

Because he's too busy, that's why!

Words cannot express how delighted herjosie was when I showed her this ! She's still running laps around the yard.

Always delighted when I can make the day of one of Casey's colleagues.

Casey loves Herjosie -- someone who's smaller than she is!

Everybody on our Fourth of July trip was at least twice her size, except the whippet. He was only about 50% bigger.
