Make your reservations now!

Good Morning.
A Russian company Wednesday announced that they will be stationing an orbiting hotel in the cosmos!!

The Moscow-based Orbital Technologies has sky-high hopes that its planned Commercial Space Station can serve as a tourism hub for well-heeled travelers and offer overspill accommodation for science projects.

The company wants to launch a seven-room station by 2016 but may increase or decrease that capacity based on customer demand.

The picture you see is not the new orbiting hotel for the high flying tourists, I think this is where Monika stays when she comes to Seattle.
It's a great spot......right in the middle of downtown Seattle.

Is she here right now?

P.S.

P.S. There was a cute little owl there too.....most likely he was attracted by my smart wiseness.

CHANTERELLES!!

Yay! 2nd successful weekend finding some Chanterelles :)

The contents in the bag below were somewhat an inadvertant find. We were just going on a hike......

But then, when I was reading about where we were going, it mentioned something about Douglas Firs. I thought, "Hmmmm, I am going to bring a paper bag, just in case!" (As I am not total nerd status, and don't have a mushroom collecting basket......yet........)

This is me being happy that I found some Chanterelles......(not going poo like it really looks like). The tomatoes that you see below are the ginormous bumper crop of homegrown tomatoes and basil from the shiteous summer. Yep, that's the whole take. Everything else is still green. I guess we are going to have to get our fried green tomatoes on, this fall.

Everything from the above, got turned into pizzas complete with hoemade, I mean homemade pizza dough......pizza dough that actually tasted like cracker-bread-pizza-dough, but oh well, still pretty derned good.

One of this mornings research requests.

I have been asked to determine what Personal Protection Equipment other government agencies provide for their field staff for the prevention of waterborne zoonotic diseases.

Wha? Can I please have another cup of coffee?
