I’d join in the fishy business, but there’s no way to make a pun off of Patagonian toothfish. ---

**Flytrap** , that should be the lead idea for next week’s MMP; link to your [username](http://marvel.com/universe/Spider-Man_%28Peter_Parker%29). 😛 This is [me](http://www.flickr.com/photos/74663312@N08/8542482307/) across the road late in the ride. As you can see, by that point the sun was getting low. The fence is at a local farm. When I first came up to the farm, the sheep were grazing on the down side of a hill in the corner of the property. They were silhouetted against the hill, with just the wool on their backs were glowing in sunlight. It was an award winning shot ifn I had a real camera with me instead of just the phone one. ☹ ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 51 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 75 for the day. Then it will dip back down in the 60s for a couple of days before back to mid to upper 70s. Spring is rearin’ it’s haid heah in south Jawja. Seems the fish puns have really gotten on **mmmmmmm’s** nerves. I shall have to mullet over before I post another one. BTW da cave is pretty much defilthyfied. By that I mean it no longer poses a severe health threat. That’s a good thing, right? Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy is fussin’ at me. Then purtification for deheathenization must commence. Happy Sunday Y’all! ---

Good morning! Two loads of laundry on the lines, third in the machine. \*\*FCD \*\*and daughter will be leaving shortly for a group motorcycle ride. About then, I’ll dig out the rake and get started out front. I slept sorta OK last night - I woke up a few times, but I mostly fell back to sleep. So there’s that. And that’s all I’ve got for now. Happy Sunday. ---

I’ve already been up and down the mountain this morning. There were trail runners. 😕 I do not understand these people. I take a walkin’ stick with me so I can have a little more stability on the very muddy “hey, there’s a stream running across the trail here” places. These people run across them. The trail is about six inches across in many places and is full of pointy-uppy stones that love to trip you up if you don’t pay attention. Anyway, that over. The Blue Ridge was living up to its name this morning. The views are gorgeous until the leaves come out and then there will be [trilliums](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Trillium_with_the_leaves.jpg)! 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-i-havent-done-this-in-a-while-so-here-mmp/651986.md?page=17) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-i-havent-done-this-in-a-while-so-here-mmp/651986.md?page=19)
