Everything‘s bigger in Texas, even the freaking ants.
Except that's why they are so called "big ants" cause they are actually wasps - Males have the wings (go figure) and Females are wingless wasps and they are called "Velvet Ants" ( I took entomology in college and very rarely does it pay off - )

Well that’s messed up! How can it be a wasp w/o wings, does she sting?
I met a velvet the other day and I’m pretty sure she could sting so I kept my distance
Damn, it's too early to start the snow pictures................
Hopefully SC does not get any at all coz I just moved here from CT - but if anything like what happened in TX earlier this year is on the cards, then might as well get prepared for wintersports.
Locals have been telling me that it has been a mild summer this year and during one of my visits in mid May it was actually 48 degrees and colder than it was in CT at that time.
Keeping fingers crossed for pleasant and great weather through out this winter
Boston is a great town to visit barring for the terrible traffic chaos that happened during the big dig and it has been a must-see day trip destination whenever we had family visiting.
When the wifey got pregnant with our oldest she was craving the lettuce wraps from P F Changs and hot dogs from Coney Island in Worcester - so used to drive all the way just for a meal.
On my first visit to Harvard square many many moons ago, was shocked to see kids sitting with cardboard signs saying "need money for beer", "Help to get ticket for Neil Diamond Concert" etc.
Really love the MIT swimming pool and used to frequent it for the New England swimming championships of the Y during the pre-Covid times and definitely one of the rare times where I prefer to be a specatator sitting in the bleachers and enjoying watching my kids swim instead of being on the deck as an official.
Cheers.
Here are some selected photos taken yesterday on a five mile hike along the eastern shore of Lake Tahoe.
(One can not help but reflect how a debt of gratitude is owed to the forest fire fighters whose efforts this year have preserved the landscape near the shores of Lake Tahoe despite the damage to its environs,)
Stray animals make so good pets cause they are appreciative and thankful - It's gotta be horrible being tossed out on the street and you never know when your next meal or drink will be, if ever...........

Photos from this Saturday's returned annual "Gold Rush Live" event held at the site of Sutter Mill where gold was discovered in 1848. For the event a gold rush era town is recreated with period actors who remain in character.
First, here are photos of the Sutter Mill site itself and the American River waters that fed it:
Pictured here are the distant hills from where the gold originated before it was deposited into the river followed by a view looking downstream where the Sutter Mill had been positioned midway on the left bank:
Now photos, as we experienced it, of the "Gold Rush Live" event itself that is held here adjacent to the Sutter Mill site once each year:
And yes, there is still gold to be found in the waters of the South Fork American River there in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California:

DICKIN MEDAL PROPOSED FOR TALIBAN-FIGHTING DOG THEO
The E-Sylum (3/6/2011)
.
This article from the Daily Mail profiles a bomb-sniffing dog and his master, who was killed recently in Afghanistan. The dog died shortly afterward and has been proposed for the Dickin Medal, "the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross". -Editor
DEFENCE Afghanistan 174672In life, they were inseparable. And in death, this brave man and his best friend are staying by each other’s side.
A record-breaking Army sniffer dog and his devoted handler will make their final journey home together next week.
Theo, a springer spaniel cross, suffered a fatal seizure shortly after his master, Lance Corporal Liam Tasker, was shot dead by the Taliban on Tuesday.
The 22-month-old dog was said to have died of a broken heart after the Arms and Explosives Search soldier was killed.
The pair had uncovered 14 home-made bombs and hoards of weapons in just five months on the frontline – more than any other dog and handler in the conflict. And when L/Cpl Tasker, 26, is repatriated to RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire next week, Theo’s ashes will be alongside his body in a casket on the RAF Hercules carrying the coffin.
It is a very nice Capital. I have been inside every state Capital except Alaska and Hawaii. The Hawaii state Capital was closed when we were there in 1998. Still trying to get to Alaska.
