Another Great One + Aliso + Crane Flies Are Everywhere + "Outer Limits"

Happy Late Night, Sweet Baby,

That was yet another great photo this morning, and you may be your own best model. :) I take it that the unseen hand is holding the phone that triggers the camera? It is certainly an iconic shot of you, and the way in which your hair is swept all to the far side displays both your profile and your exceptionally long hair. You could be a Rock Star/Movie Star/Fashion Model (take your pick), or.....maybe best of all.....you could be You.  :)

You did not specify the location, but it looks like some nice cliffs in the background.

I also saw a post with Stitched Up Heart, heading out on the road to Las Vegas. Maybe you are gonna join them at some point? As usual a guess on my part, but I hope you get to shoot some of the shows. :)

A full length hike at Aliso for me, on a gorgeous 90 degree afternoon. The water is still running in the creek, almost six weeks after that humongous rainstorm, which was basically the last real rain we got. So the creek is like a drain, and the water is still draining. Nature boggles me.....

We've got these bugs everywhere, and I mean everywhere, that we used to call Daddy Long Legs, and we always thought of them as mosquitos. Now they are acknowledging the infestation of them in the news, and calling them Crane Flies, and saying they aren't Skeeters. They are swarming in the zillions cause of the rain, and you have to be careful opening the door - no matter where you are - because a bunch of 'em will fly inside and creepy crawl your walls and windows. Gross, I know, but they are all over the place!

That was all the news for today, except for tonight I watched an episode of "Outer Limits", the legendary sci-fi series from the early 60s which was one of the first shows I ever remember watching. I've had Season One on dvd for about ten years, but I finally got Season Two (the final season) just today, in the mail from Half.com, and I watched a great episode from 1964 called "Soldier", written by sci-fi legend Harlan Ellison and starring Michael Ansara as a Super Soldier from the future. Ellison could not have known it at the time, but his story presaged a lot of research and experimentation by the military into creating such a soldier, one without emotion and impervious to pain, who carries a laser gun for a weapon. In fact, the ultimate premise of "The X-Files" over the course of it's nine year run rests upon the concept of world domination by an army of indestructible Super Soldiers, created by the military. So this episode of "Outer Limits" was very much ahead of it's time, and also very influential it seems....

That's all for today. Hooray for Spring and beautiful weather.......and rock formations. :)

See you in the morning. I Love You.  xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo  :):)
