The Devil Went Down To Jamaica

I found this at the same time as I found the claymation Devil Went Down To Georgia (scroll down) - The Devil Went Down To Jamaica.

Could. Not. Resist. (laughing)

Clouds Then Sun

Had clouds all day today. Had some drizzle last nite but not really anything measurable at the peaceful retreat on the bay. The sun peaked out just before sunset, giving me some Friday night eye candy.

Baby girl is almost in the San Jose area. She left Palm Springs today and is headed north for the weekend. She ran into some heavy rain just as she was getting off 5 onto Pacecho Pass but it stopped as soon as she got in the rain shadow of the mountain. She's making good time and is getting excited about seeing everyone again.

Claymation Style

The Devel Went Down to Georgia - claymation style. Music by Charlie Daniels.

Golden Sunset

Baby girl left Utah tonight and is headed to Palm Springs to spend a few days with her nana, my mom. She is in the Golden State until next week, when she will be here, experiencing golden sunsets.

Yesterday's post sunset color.

Sunday's Saturday Sunset

While I was snapping photos of yesterday's sunset, a flock of what must have been at least 100 birds flew overhead. I think they were coming from the trees behind my house. Been up in the 50's during the day but still getting down to around freezing at night.

I tried to snap some photos of them, with very limited success. Nice eye candy for the sunset tho.

Blogroll Amnesty Day Is Coming

Blogroll Amnesty Day is coming. H/t Darkblack for the BlueGal video and Skippy for all his work on B.A.D. Hard to find any blogs smaller than mine (laughing).

Everybody's Crying Mercy

Bonnie Raitt - Everybody's Crying Mercy.

Cloudy with rain showers today. May be a chance to get some color at sunset but ... it is pretty cloudy and there does not seem to be much clearing on the horizon.

Token and Bailey

Token, wearing a watch cap (mine) and covered by his blanket sleeping in his chair next to the computer.

Bailey by the front door taking care of an itch.

Cold tonight. Was 52 at 2 this afternoon, at 4:30 it was 43, at 5 it was 39 and at 6 it was 33.6. Dropped down to freezing at 6:30 and has been hovering around freezing all evening. Brrrr - now you understand why Token is bundled up (laughing). Folks in Portland are gonna be waking up to temps in the 20's and snow. I love living on the coast since the ocean mitigates the temperature but that means no snow here for me - just rain.

Gary The Wood Guy is bringing me more wood Tuesday. Yeah! Stephanie has said she will help lug wood upstairs for me while splitting her time between here and her sister's in Beaverton until she finds a job and housing. Yeah! I promised to cook in return. I hope I remember how - it has been a while yannno (laughing).

Sailor Delight

Tonight's sunset had possiblities. It was overcast all day but around 4pm, the clouds thinned on the horizon so I grabbed the camera.

The sun began to emerge from behind the clouds.


Tonight had become promising.


Very promising indeed.

Suddenly, the wood walls inside my living room were bathed in a soft orange light. Everything outside was bathed in a glow.

And then it was if I were wearing rosy red sunglasses.


Twas a great way to end a good week. Our new President has his hands full but seems to be doing a lot to end torture, close Gitmo, and get us out of Iraq. A good start and a lovely way to close out the week.

Joyful Noise

The Derek Trucks Band - A Joyful Noise.

...and a joyful noise rose up across the land...

Before And After

Yesterday, before sunset, during, and after.

Friday Eye Candy

The eye candy tonight was bright and bold and faded into a soft pastel. Hit 67 today and felt like spring. Tonight, its a chilly 35 outside to remind me that it is still winter.

There Goes The Sun

Sunny.

All Day.

Weather dood said sunny for a forking week! Got up to 59 today so those predicted 60's are looking like they are gonna happen. Still gets chilly at night tho - no cloudy blanket to keep in the heat - those 30's remind me that it is still winter.

Tonight's eye candy:

Peek A Boo

The sun was playing peek a boo with the clouds towards sunset. As you can see, the clouds won - no sunset color.






Weather guy says sunny and dry for a week or so - should hit the 60's here on the coast due to offshore winds with that high pressure area over us.
