Deer Camp
viaFour guys have been going to the same deer camp for many years. Two days before the group is to leave, Ron’s wife puts her foot down and tells him he isn’t going.
Ron’s friends are very upset that he can’t go, but what can they do.
Two days later the three get to the camping site
only to find Ron sitting there with a tent set up, firewood gathered, and
dinner cooking on the fire.
“Man, how long you been here, and how did you talk your wife into letting you go?”
“Well, I’ve been here since yesterday. Yesterday evening, I was sitting in my chair and my wife came up behind me and put her hands over my eyes and said, ‘Guess who?’” I pulled her hands off, and she was wearing a brand new nightie.
She took my hand and pulled me to our bedroom. The room had candles and rose petals all over. On the bed she had
handcuffs, and ropes! She told me to tie and cuff her to the bed, and I did.
And then she said,”Do what ever you want.”
So, Here I am.

Horse whisperer
This girl riding the horse is in her 20′s – her dad just died 24 days before this performance. You can hear her dedication to him just before her performance. Notice that it is just her and the horse – no bit, no saddle. She just uses signals and verbal cues, she’s mute. Oh yeah, this isn’t even her horse. She is training it for someone else, although she obviously has a relationship with this one.

Rice Pictures
Each year, farmers in the town of Inakadate in Aomori prefecture create works of crop art by growing a little purple and yellow-leafed kodaimai rice along with their local green-leafed tsugaru-roman variety. This year's creation -- a pair of grassy reproductions of famous woodblock prints from Hokusai's 36 Views of Mount Fuji -- has begun to appear. It will be visible until the rice is harvested in September.

Election Night
Musings while watching the returns.
South Carolina's Jim Demint successfully fought off who?
The second dumbest member of congress, Alan Grayson, is gone. As long as Maxine Waters is there first place will be incontestable as long as the other members have other than involuntary reflexes for brain functions.
King Roy Barnes will not return to the governors office in GA. As long as Nathan Deal is as productive as governor as he was in congress we have nothing but inaction to fear.
Republicans still do not have a plan. They are running against status quo but what is their plan?
Repubs have the House but not the Senate. Several governorships which is good for redistricting.
Well, looks like Mexifornia will return Boxer to the Senate. damn, just damn.
Prezbo's trip to Mumbai will cost $200,000,000 per day. That's less than they spend when they are here. Can we outsource them?
