Still uploading the photos here, and applying liberal amounts of Noxzema for the sunburn. The Klave that never was, is officially done and on the books. Perhaps more video and podcasts of it’s non-existence may surface yet, in due time. Like these photos that made it up to NASA Spaceweather here. Given there was a fire ban up there this year, we got to see a whole lot of dark sky this year.
P.S. – No Grizzly bears were spotted on our side of the Lake. They were on the other side.
<Yes, it’s true. I have a PHD in Horribleness.. and a 60 GB D/L capacity.>
Now, please excuse me while I lay down on my new bear skin, and read some Dr. Horrible this evening. Yes, that’s at least one less bear in the world to get me. Thanks to my buddy SaskAlan!

P.S. – No, I did NOT go out and do Muir Madness this year at midnight, so move along, nothing to see here.
P.P.S. – Here’s an interesting factoid for you. My fishing buddy Ray (a.k.a. Tuber / @brokenfishnet) is a first cousin of “Captain Hammer” on the Dr. Horrible DVD. Now, how cool is that.

Hi, lancetay.
You have a new direct message:
brokenfishnet: Hey lance, We’re actually cousins by marriage – Nathan is my stepfathers nephew
A family that lives on the outskirts of Petoskey , Michigan decided to build a sturdy, colorful playground for their 3- and 4-year-old sons. They lined the bottom with smooth-stone gravel all around to avoid knee scrapes and other injuries. They finished building it one Friday evening and were very pleased with the end product.
The following morning, the mom was about to wake the boys up and have them go out to play in their new play center. This is what she saw from the upstairs window.
This gives a whole new meaning to “If you build it, they will come”!
Back from Dolberg 4/0…. uhm, my trip reports are filed here, photos to be posted on Flickr later, and suffice to say I have now added ‘bear’ to my ‘I’m still alive…’ motto. Hyup, back to work tomorrow. Where did the week go eh?
Sung To Tune Of: “CLOSE TO YOU”
Lyrics by (apologies to) Kim Carpenter
Bastardized by Scratch & Ranger Bob
Why do bears suddenly appear
Every time I need to squat,
Just like me and you, they long to poop
Close by you.
Why do I have to go poop
Every time they walk by?
On the day we ate some corn and brews
when all the other anglers got together
I had to go poop and a pee underneath a tree
But then I forgot the Charmaines.
Why are all these bears nearby
Following me all around?
On the day that I need to go
pooping in the woods…
oh why do I… have to go… pooping in the woods.
Sung To Tune Of: “CLOSE TO YOU”
