Hot news from Encinitas.

Authorities said two men who were playing “Poké-mon Go” fell off an ocean bluff in Southern California.
Encinitas firefighters said the men climbed through a fence Wednesday afternoon while playing the digital- monster cellphone game. The wildly popular game involves chasing digital critters that pop up as you move about the real world.
One man fell about 50 feet down the side of the unstable bluff and the other fell about 90 feet to the beach.
They were taken to a hospital with moderate injuries and stupidity testing.

The game company has "planted" these "critters", in some cases, on private property, sometimes in folks' back yards, with dogs therein.

I believe this whole thing will prove to be a stupid way to get gamers out of their mom's basements.

I have one of those neighbors.

I live in Bungalow Heaven, so have neighbors that live in the same house. One *lady* needs to complain about everything. I figured 11am-7pm to work on my truck. I figure that allows sleeping in time and night time relax time. It is 2pm and she is out crying that I am working on my truck.

I would love to give her flowers, as long as they are 72" above her head.

I found a guy selling a '70 f20 4x4. I have only seen a couple pics, but it looks ok. He is moving back to the midwest soon and wants to sell it to buy a car. I have the Ford Neon, that I hate, so we are talking about trading straight up. I would be back down to a single vehicle again, but whatever. If you don't like driving it, why are you? Right?

We squeezed in a 4 day weekend, camping on Lee Vining Creek, Aspen Grove campground.


Got into Lee Vining about 10pm, parked and caught some shuteye, after the 7 hour drive.



Woke up to this view of Mono Lake.



Walked the dog while waiting for this view.





Found a nice campsite in the Aspens.




Caught a mess of fat Rainbows everyday.



Bocephus always begs, as patiently as a Lab is capable of, for the trout livers.



Now I'm working, and wishing I was back there.

Exactly what the heck are you dreamin' about here, anyway? It better be good, 'cause Montana is about as good as it gets (especially Western Montana).

Since when did Ford make a Neon? The only Neon I'm aware of was made by Daimler/Chrysler.

Neon, Focus, Fiesta, Sonic, Polo, Corolla, Civic, Fit... They all run together over time. Now back in the day, we had real names: Matador, Javalin, Pacer, Gremlin! True American Motors.
