It’s like birding. When something rare has been spotted, you can’t leave until you see it, too. I’d never seen those types of “fun” before. Thank you for sharing.

I just returned from a week at Yellowstone with DH, "supporting" his annual trip. He stays longer. Of my 6 days in the park, 3 were spent sitting in front of Steamboat - the world's tallest geyser which can be dormant for 50 years at a time, but which is currently erupting 4-8 days. 3/4 of a mile from bathrooms, rain, wind, cold, and you just can't walk away. Eating junk food all day as we would arrive early and leave late, missing the short hours the concessions an hour away keep this time of year. It is bad when you are looking forward to the food at the Salt Lake Airport. 36 precious vacation hours invested, almost hoping it would erupt overnight so we wouldn't have to go back the next day (almost - DH really wanted me to see it). And it erupted the night I left. What we do for love! That which does not kill us makes us stronger! It was weirdly fun 'though. This was sort of the 2nd type of Fun:<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.rei.com/blog/climb/fun-scale">https://www.rei.com/blog/climb/fun-scale</a>. Your might have been the 3rd.

Thank you for bringing perspective. BB is not his actual name, it’s what we should have named him, though. We brought the car into the dealer this morning to have a new matching tire put on and guess what? They didn’t have the tire. Yet they made an appointment to replace the tire. I was so mad I went out to the (other) car so I wouldn’t say something extremely vile. My husband came out awhile later and said they found one somewhere in town. I was all ready to write a scathing Yelp review. I’ve never done that before, but was willing to learn.

While we ate lunch, which included home grown peaches, BTW, we were able to “enjoy” the smell of brand new tires.

Who knew tarantulas migrated?! Mr Skunky found a tarantula once. I’d never seen one in the wild before. I’m sorry about your car, Joy. Did they leave a note?

It is the kind that makes you appreciate ordinary days. The car I drive is in the shop for at least a week because someone hit it in a parking lot. What an inconvenience. It is about time for migrating birds. Oklahoma tarantulas are migrating through Colorado, most big males looking for mates in tall grass. Not a time to visit National Grasslands. This sounds like an annual event, if you ever want a weird trip to feature in the Christmas letter.

They are rare here in the Interior West. We actually saw them earlier this year in Alaska, where they breed. My husband (and others) keep lists of birds seen by year, by state, by county. The pictures are from Wikipedia, BTW.

But he was found at an elementary school as a puppy. Eventually animal rescue picked him up. He was passed along to two rescue groups. We adopted him from Russell Rescue.

I was shocked we had tire troubles because the tire had less than 5000 miles on it. My car had never been out of town before, and was still showroom clean. Well, not anymore. Isabel, that’s a very interesting way to look at things. Bob Barker is the name we should have given him.

Maybe I was playing an important part in someone else story, or maybe I escaped something worse by being delayed. Truthfully, your dog looks thrilled. Maybe it was a day about the dog? bridgie on "The day could have gone better" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-could-have-gone-better#post-2056161 Tue, 27 Aug 2019 21:15:57 +0000 bridgie 2056161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Bless your heart..

Our tire still isn’t fixed. We have an appointment Thursday at the car dealership. They have the right tire. Luckily, my husband is now retired, and we can deal with using only one car. Rachy, that’s Bob Barker. He loves it when we’re all together. The boys had a good time at the refuge - the smells are so interesting.

I’m glad that all is okay. Dogs and husbands are a worry!
