If you want rain, my butty, move to Wales.
Two short stories from Dylan Thomas, circa 1955.
Och, aye, he was a wonderful writer and could keep up with anyone in the drinking, even with Tad...
Och, aye, Tad is a wonderful companion and a careful belayer. And he shares his booze!

I blame Ellwood Butts and Frank Haven.

Eucalyptus oil is a potent anti-flea agent.
It's like buhach. There is a neighborhoood west of Merced town called Buhach, named for the colony of farmers who set up to raise and ship the plants to Stockton on the RR.
Pyrethrin isn’t a new discovery; it’s been used since the 1800s. The Buhach company states that pyrethrin is harmless to animals and humans, and is EPA-approved to eliminate pests such as fleas, roaches, lice, ants, spiders, and mosquitos. It’s easily degraded by the stomach acids in mammals, so a human or pet would need to consume a huge amount to be affected, but pyrethrin is a potent neurotoxin for insects.

No fleas on me, or is it no flies? Anyway, one of the two, or both.

Cracked window.
Un-retouched sunset shots here lately (very lately).
Enjoy the movie. It's loaded with lots of old Indian tricks.
All the Indian tricks donini knows must, y'know, kinda boggle the mind.
“You let the posse chase you and I’ll cut into the hills.”
“Gabby, we’re heading for Table Mtn. country. The rest of you go with Gabby to Gilroy. He knows all the Indian tricks.”
“He’s got better than an even chance. He knows all the Indian tricks. But I'm sayin' he's a-gonna die! And good riddance, the varmint."
"You’d better get back to Denver. We’re heading for Durango country.”
“I’ll take what I want. I know a lot of Indian tricks.”
"It's you, Ray, not OUR way. It's an old Indian word. Ask Angela. She knows more about it. I sometimes call her Braddock for fun. She knows all the sneaky Indian tricks."
Angela's Ambushes, a Malpaso film, coming on Christmas Day @ yer multiplex.
The actor who portrays Lt. Burke's brother in Colorado is none other than Marshal Dillon's friend, Dr. Galen "Doc" Adams.
Bonus feature:
Daniel Boone (1936) starring George O'Brien as Dan'l and Ralph Forbes as Marlowe
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W7pZCwpclc
"I don't think Mr. Marlowe's very much fun, do you?"
"I'm serious. Really, I am."
At @ 56:00 there is some serious Flames sh!t and stuff: Hatchet fu like BooDawg do at 57:20.

When you hear the whistle blowin' eight to the bar
Then you know that Tennessee is not very far
Shuffle all the coal in, gotta keep it rollin'
(Whoo whoo, Chattanooga, there you are)
A game of Risk, a bottle of slurp, and thee/thou, the two most-likely to succeed fellers from the hills I ever heard of.
zBrown can join in, but leave the muzzle on, it's not a blood game, tiger.

I want the pink pieces, please.
And do like Mr. Faver and Rowdy do on Rawhide,
Keep on rollin', rollin', rolin', movin', movin', movin'...
I've always loved the idea of:
The springtime in Kamchatka.
The summer in S. America.
The fall in Northern Europe.
And the winter in Sun Valley.
Some things to think about free of controversy, free of charge.
No, she's not norwegian, she's Norwegian.
