HHHHaaaaaarrrrrrrr!

Pirates! Dirty, rotten, scurvy pirates! We are now lousy with them!

A pirate ship, right, and a pirate with an "invisible" body

I believe it is SpongeBob's fault but I'm not really sure.

A mountain (the circle of dots are a pirate's beard);

a pirate with an eye-patch;

another pirate with a less noticeable eye-patch;

and a headless pirate.

Fairies, eagles and pirates. Am I doing this parenting thing right?

Two eye-patched pirates on a boat with a parrot on the mast.

Colorado Springs' Eagle Problem

We've go trouble, trouble that starts with T 

which rhymes with E that stands for EAGLES!

A guy came by promoting Initiative 300, to get a strong mayor instead of a city manager, and Annelise was all ears.  He left and she took the flyer and asked what it was all about and I gave her the quick explaination about city government and how it worked.  Satisfied, I thought, she went away to draw and I went to work downstairs.

 Vote against the "E" Party!

About 10 minutes later I'm on the computer and she comes knocking on the wall.  I yell, "come in", and here she is with the Strong Mayor flyer, and other literature, and tells me she is there to, "give me the information about the voting" and shows me the card.  Seems our city has a problem with "eagles attacking and carrying off people" and that we need to "vote to rescue the people" from where they have been carried off to.   According to Annelise, "The eagles are getting really grumpy and attacking people and bringing them into their (the eagle's I assume) homes."

 Thems eagles carrying off people!  People!

I agreed that this is a big problem and she said, "we all thank you for your support".

Spiderhead!

Some days, when your are just feeling a bit blue because the footy match sucked eggs, you start to wander and find that little something that brings you around:

I give you the Spiderhead!  But wait!  It gets better:

It's a lamp!  A Spiderhead lamp!  And it made me happy.  Happy until Annelise saw it and now it's her's.

God speed Spiderhead lamp.  God speed.
