After a very long wait, here is the second part of my hike.
One of the strangest sites on the trail was an outhouse located around 1,100 meters in elevation directly below the fire lookout. Thanks to its great sweeping view of the area, you could really go in style!
We made it, but I can tell you that when we got back to the truck I was drinking virtually everything I could get my hands on!!
I saw this when I lived in Chicago. If you get a chance and want to see something completely different and amazing, I highly recommend it! By the way, the play is based on a German children's book called "Struwwelpeter:"

The fine folks over at Aint It Cool News recenty reported that their screening of WALL-E received an incredible reception and praise from all demographics. I was a bit leery of the news, afterall screeners sometimes report inflated results. However, today I noticed this quote from critic Richard Roeper: "One of the best movies of the year. Just so beautifully done."
Could this finally be the year that an animated film wins for Best Picture? If WALL·E is as good as the early buzz suggests, let's hope that it gets a fair shake from the Academy.
Earlier this year, I had the chance to attend the annual celebration at the Land of Medicine Buddha Center just outside of Santa Cruz. It is very difficult to encapsolate such an amazing experience.
Over the next few days, I will post my thoughts about what happened.
For now, just enjoy the video.
As most of you know, a tape was recently discovered of an irate Bill O'Reilly when he was an anchor on Inside Edition. Thanks to the beauty of the Internet, it should not come as a surpise that someone remixed his outburst. Enjoy (note: lots of profanity)...
This ranks right up there with some of AIR's finest works:
J'en perds la raison
(I lost my mind)
Dans la mer du Japon
(in the sea of Japan)
Rock on Corolla!
Now you too can learn how to play the cowbell!!
This definitely qualifies as a "pick-me-up clip." It's impossible to watch this and not crack up.
"I have a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell."
I was elated to find that I had the entire beach to myself! What a great way to relax and let time slowly slip away.
