The Bald Eagles (and some helpful Magpies) were picking on a deer carcass laying in the drainage ditch of a neighbor's driveway below "The F." I wonder if that guy dragged it there? It could have been Coyotes -- this is near the path which our local herd uses to go between the hills and Little Foy's Lake. (See the pictures below.)

In The Community: Denny Kellogg's lecture about Herman Schnitzmeyer was fairly well-attended for an afternoon lecture about an obscure photographer. There's just one chapbook about him, and a locally-published book with some of his photos in print. Denny has made a life's study of this none-too-successful homesteader who made hundreds of photographs of the developing West in the early 20th Century.

Media Watch: Dancing with the Stars had one singular puzzling moment -- Tony and Stacy Keebler ("Tina Sparkle") came in THIRD. Jerry Rice must be more popular than even I thought. My favorites Drew and Cheryl won the trophy though.
The Olympics could have been better presented -- NBC made repressed ol' Salt Lake City look like a real groove four years ago, but we learned almost nothing about Torino this time. I've been to Italy, and I can tell you that they know how to PARTY there.
