Grimm Pre-screening



We went to the prescreening for the new TV show Grimm. The show was engaging and Alethea won a prize for answering the trivia question, what was Cinderella's real name? The answer was Aurora but that was in the Disney version.

Her prize was Chuck Season 4 and I sold it this morning on Amazon.

Home Made Bike Rack



How ingenious. The bike rack is a 2x4 bungied to the spare tire and the bike is held in place with garage hooks.

My daughter took this photo in traffic near the Uptown area of Minneapolis.

Road Kill Barbie

No, I didn't do in Barbie; she obviously couldn't get out of the way quickly enough with those pointy little feet.

Heat Lightning and Fireworks






















We were watching the Park Rapids, MN fireworks show and a storm came up. This photograph was taken while heat lightning played across the horizon, The next photo was taken immediately after; notice the smoke is the same.

The Perfect Suncreen


OK, other than sitting under an umbrella while wearing a hat.

I originally bought this brand 8 years ago at Xcaret in Mexico; it's biodegradable and ecologically safe. I'm allergic to all sunscreens but this one so I was extremely happy to find it.

The company is Caribbean Sunlife and I guard it since I've only found it while on vacation. It gives me a good reason to keep returning to the tropics; I need to buy additional sunscreen.
