5. I saw one get a salmon today, and eat it.
For them to be such huge creatures, those bears eat in such a slow and careful way.

2. Thanks!
Loving it!!! Saw one catch a fish, but he turned his back to the camera when he was eating it.
I love the way they just throw themselves in the water.

4. I've been letting it run in the background, even when I'm not watching.
I love the sound of flowing water.

It is pretty cool, eh?

:hi:

Edited on Tue Aug-07-07 07:21 PM by idgiehkt
makes me feel cooler and saner...the heat is getting to me and I don't know how people in the deep south can stand it, at least here the temps are bearable between like 2 am and 5 am (and I got up at 2 am this morning to clean, lol...)

:hi:

edit: see my brain isn't even functioning right I just realized I thanked Fran for posting this, this is my hillbilly brain on flatlander weather, lol.

9. It is intolerably hot outside right now.
I put on make-up to go to town and vote, and it had melted off before we even got down the driveway.

Then, when I got back, we walked down the driveway (we've got a half-mile-long drive) and we were soaking wet when we got back.

It's sooooo damned humid.

10. That sure looks like the life
Lay around at the river and wait for dinner to swim by. Strangely hypnotic.
