I arrived in Austin after about 4 days ago. It's like a sauna here. They've had rain, so much rain, that combined with heat has produced a natural sauna; not muggy, not humid, but a sauna..
Today it was a bit better, just hot, and the sun wasn't out so much, but no more rain so far. So it is beginning to feel more like Austin from years past.
I lead such an exciting life..trying to help my daughter stay abreast of the laundry, washing dishes, surfaces, cleaning bathrooms..
I am a vacation maid for hire and I work for free..
I suppose I should rent a car, but I have to rent one in Mo, my next stop..and that trip will be a very uncertain proposition.
Maybe I should join my friend in India, or go to Sicily to visit Avasa, and Shakti, or France to see My cousin, Jerry, or S Africa to see Tracey, or Alaska to join Raven making pots.. Hmm, I could live a more exciting life!!
well stay tuned for chapter whatever....

Thar She Blows!
The Gray (whales) are chowing down in Washington waters en route to Alaska.
It happens every year. So.. I went whale watching. .
Well it was farily uneventful, but I'll share my photos nonetheless.
A 4 hour tour finally yielded a small whale off Camano Island in shallows there.
He wouldn't come up, but I got this shot of him blowing.
I would have had a better look from land. I plan to drive out to see if any are at Kayak Point later this week. Oh if only a had a real kayak, I'd go visit them up close..
and....here I am sh sh shivering... on board the whale boat..
Oh BTW speaking of Whales, let me add here that Moby DIck has a new literary review, and it appears it is not an illusive book afterall.
Of course, it was never a story about a man chasing a whale, but is a book that talks about truth, but until Jed McKenna read this book, well, no one knew what it was about.
Jed McKenna talks about his discovery of Melville concerning TRUTH in Moby Dick. See Jed McKenna books to find links to his work.

Make a Wearable Blog Repost from Nov 2005
Making a transfer for a Tee shirt or sweat shirt that is an image of your blog is easy to do, and you can be creative about what goes where.
I am soooo sorry I have none to show you right now, they are all out and about! This link will be in my sidebar!
Kim has a drawing on her blog, you may have to write her for that date, or do a blog search.
Here is a photo of my blog in reverse, however:

Buy some transfer paper from your office supply store. It will have instructions for ironing on. White for a white Tee, special dark paper for a dark Tee.
1. First it is best to blog your current blog, so it will have your links on it, and you don't want it to be too long or too short, but,, just about right for transfer paper size!
2. Make sure to post something colorful, and if you are concerned with it being really legible, there is a template called Tekka that uses a nice clear large font that would show up really nice for on a tee.
I have posted the Tekka template above this post on, "wear your blog to work day."
(This is not necessary, but just a suggestion in case you do one and think it is too small to read easily.)
3. Post a nice blog with colorful photos and some nice topics that would be of interest to your co- workers or the kids at school, or your classmates in college, etc. Say something nice about your boss, maybe it will result in a raise! Be creative, and have fun, you are making a conversation piece.
4. Once you have designed your blog, select print, page one to one, and pdf, now, save it as a PDF on your desktop.
5. Then if you have photoshop flip the image horizontally, or perhaps your printer has this option, either way, then save as a jpg or just print it out in photo shop. (You must flip horizontally) to print it out on transfer paper and iron it on a tee.
6. I like to cut my links and run them down the arm of a long sleeve tee. And you might take use a few photos to iron on the other sleeve as well.
You could be the first to wear your blog at your workplace, so hurry up now!
7. Make sure you get your blog on a tee soon to wear on ,"Wear your blog to work day!" Jan.20th
Any questions, I 'd be glad to answer,
Sherry
