Ratty - I love you, and yeah, it was my first year. But I have been camping a lot, and we used those skills to make it happen. Elliot was a great resource. And our enthusiasm overcame all obstacles - that is what Burgins DO :) ;) We were a group of five. Grey Coyote, Sadie, Kowtow, and Chuck... and ...

Last year was my Burgin year. I had been planning to go for four years... so I had lurked eplaya a lot. Decided it wasn't for me several times. Absorbed the information, and ignored the negativity. We put on a hell of a first burn. Fed over 1,000 tamales. Nearly a 1,000 ice pops. Disco shower. Contr...

Elliot's flat top isn't all flat, it wedges up around Millicent. We brought in a standard EMT flat top and tied on. His supports are huge. In prior testing, in Texas, on the driveway, we had some bounce. That is the wind would lift the entire structure. We beefed up the tie downs, and reduced the la...

Cats will lie to you. I just got back from a 4 day campout with some BM friends, and my cats told me they had NEVER been fed while I'm gone.
But A) I know they were because a good friend was doing it, and B) I know they were by the volume in the cat food bin.
Cats will lie....

I think Pulpo Mechanico is a shoe-in... I know I would be disappointed if she doesn't come in 2015.

Game on!
Commodification is here... lets do this!

I made arrangements to have water delivered from Reno.
I was not going to haul the extra weight over the continental divide!

I have lots of chicken survival stories. Almost all roosters. One year it rained roosters. We had a big rain storm, and the next morning there was a greentailed rooster on the front porch. Kinda ordinary, but missing some feathers. So I built him a cage, got a couple of hens from the feed store - th...

Robbidobbs - I LUV chickens. :) We had a rooster, a bantam black cochin, which means a feathered black bowling ball with an attitude. He got sideways with something, and whatever that something was BIT HIS TAIL OFF. Of course, it took a couple of days to find him, and it was gangrenouos, and awful. ...

Why the hanks? Allergies? Tragedies?

This is for Doc - sorry about the tardiness of a reply, i am not as often on eplaya as some times earlier. You asked - what's the problem? I took that as you having not seen that i wasvecaggerating. But let me answer in a more relevant way. BLM is a government entity. Repubs are now going to run the...

Doc - I met you this year's burn. I can't believe that the hyperbole, intentionally wrong and disgusted post above, was believed to be anything but what it is. That is how ridiculous the results from last night were. In Texas, a cripple who discriminates against cripples, a man who is admittedly rac...

Im looking forward to at least another 4 years of religious persecution, exploitation of workers, racism and oppression of women. Yay!
Maybe as a bonus we will get another Crusade in the Middle East! A war on islam!!!

The extremists have it!

The students in Connecticut don't have it. The sick fliers in Chicago don't have it. The cruise ship nurse doesn't have it.
Looks like Pham could be released soon.

I think the epidemic in Texas is over -- knock on wood!

The Soanish nurse survived. The Texas cruise ship nurse diesnt gave it.

Im hoping to add a veggan tamale, too. Its in development -taste testing. Im not happy with it, yet...
I wish i could play the piano!!!

What do you think about adding some classical and folk into the mix of music?

Has anyone heard from India? (The lovely lady, not the country)

Yawn!!! You-all still awake?
Started an incubator full of eggs. Brought the parrot in for the winter.
Next weekend - greenhouse for the citrus and ferns.
My daughter has surgery for her broken leg tomoro.
Renfest planning - Nov 21.
I need a shot of Kahlua!!!

Another patient in Dallas. Another nurse with a dog

Despite international
Opposition, the dog has been killed.
There is no
Evidence dogs can communicate the disease to humans.

Thomas Duncan died today RIP
Over 300,000 have signed an online petition to spare the dog owned by the Spanish nurse.

Thinking outloud... Could place a podium at a pre-arranged spot with a laminated map/spaces for listing- and a wax pencil. People can add themselves...

Mornin' guyz. Love the smell of diesel with coffee

You had THE BOOK!
My hobo sign is the cat - kind hearted woman
I will be near Elliot and (hopefully) Burning Sky again.
Conspicuous because of Millicent, our dome, and tamales
I will also bring water.

Hey Chuck - this is for you!
Enterivirus. 68. Is in New Jersey.
Watch your beautiful babies

I know this feeling!!!
More of a tea and toast morning here

Apparently there is a patient in DC.

Trees have old souls... I grieve for all of them

Actually, Chuck, you may have THE get out ofjail free card. If chickenpox can ward off smallpox..

The lack of response was completely unacceptable!

There is a tourist being treated for ebola in Dallas. Really? Who is going to travel to Nigeria just now? Ah, a tourist. That explains a lot. Ebola is such a brittle virus in humans, I could not figure out how the dude got it. I got the details confused. He is from Liberia, coming to the USA as a t...
