Tid Bits (what's a "tid"?)

There's a bit of a lull in the action, right now (our kids might say our whole life is a lull...). Although, we did wake up, this morning, with a START--strong smell of smoke and bright orange sun! THAT gets one's energy flowing, around here. Turns out, there's a fire about 75 miles due north of here, between Lake Almanor and Susanville, and the air currents are such, today, that the smoke is heavy over us and the whole Sacramento area. Still, I think I might get back outside this afternoon and do some more branch-lopping and brush-clearing...

Dylan has changed routes, again. Never made it back to Stockholm. Instead, he dipped into Austria, then, over to Bratislava, Slovakia, and is now on his way to...somewhere. Ukraine, Poland. Not sure. He's hauling about 70 lb on his back and has let us know that he'll be wanting to send some of it back with us before he heads off to TZ.

Of course, I'm probably the last to find out about the latest--anything. But, I've developed the teensiest addiction to Youtube and love to go linking over there to see some of the goofy stuff people post. I know these have been going around, and I've forwarded them to a few folks, but thought I'd post them here in case someone out there is even farther than me behind the curve (or couldn't care less). It's about Tyson, the skateboarding---, well, watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvTVJtcvU34&mode=related&search=
And another:

Make sure to check out the others, too.

Then, there's Tillman...what is it about bulldogs and skateboards?

That's all, folks (for today, anyway)! Back to work! --Sandy
