Saturday Afternoon

This is why I love reading the NY Post on occasion: Former NY Knicks player says he was abducted by aliens two weeks ago.

“Now I’m sharper and s--t,” he says of the abduction’s aftermath. “I am retaining information.”

And perhaps a pertinent part of the story?

Also, he has been taking Percocet to offset his pain from surgery to repair the patellar tendon in his right knee, the injury that sidelined him in May 2012.

:D

There's also a Heartwarming Story™ of an FDNY worker rescuing a dog from a window ledge. With film! *g*

That's where we hiked, Emerald Lake! The lodge is beautiful too, a wedding was taking place there.
I see Zimmerman was acquitted. Maybe the aliens want information on THAT.

We stayed at that lodge! Wow, it would be so beautiful to have a wedding there. We walked partway around the lake when we were there, and managed to actually see a little red-backed vole that poked his head out of the undergrowth to look us over. :D

Maybe the aliens want information on THAT.

God, no kidding. What a hot mess. So much sadness. :(

At lunch I met a chipmunk who is clearly used to getting treats from hikers - he almost climbed right into my lap. One of the group kept scolding him "shoo! shoo!" as if HE was invading OUR home instead of the other way around.
Re Zimmerman, I understand that there's no proof of what happened that night with Martin being dead and all, yet Zimmerman was walking around with a gun. Maybe it's the cultural difference, but I just can't understand why someone would do that unless they were planning on shooting someone.

Yeah, in the U.S., you can carry a gun for self-defense -- it's not that you're pre-meditatively planning on shooting someone.

Zimmerman should have stayed in the car. The 911 operator told him to stay in the car. And he didn't. If he had stayed in the car like he should have, Trayvon Martin would most likely still be alive.
