This is the largest flag in the area (and just happens to be on the path to our favorite greasy spoon.) The flag itself measures 30 x 60 feet and weighs 100 pounds. The flag pole is 130′ tall, weighs 10,000 pounds and is secured with 60,000 pounds of concrete 13′ into the ground.

These pictures don’t do it justice. You can read more about it, and watch a pictorial of it being raised, at Ridge Road Station.

And listen, party safe tonight. Seems that every year some dumbass blows a couple of fingers off. Don’t be that dumbass; or the rest of us will seize every opportunity to make fun of your stupidity for the rest of your fingerless life.

There’s some kewl (and some not so kewl) stuff going on out in the yard again.

The Phoebe is back for her fourth year in a row to nest atop the porch post. She’s laid three eggs, and leaves the nest infrequently.

A couple of days ago I heard a commotion on the porch, and when I went to investigate, I discovered that the Phoebe has a new neighbor. Meet Mrs. Robin…..

The Phoebe was none too happy about this development……..

Truth be told, we’re not thrilled either. Since they usually produce two broods each year, it looks like yet another summer where we won’t have use of the porch until August.

Then late yesterday afternoon, as I’m passing the dining room window, I spot one of the dogs with something hanging out of her mouth. Ack! For a second I thought she’d snagged Mr. Chipmunk, but soon realized she’d uncovered a nest of baby rabbits. She reluctantly dropped it when I told her to, but it was too late. I gotta say, I am always taken aback when one of them does something so, well, so dog-like.

This morning I went out to the nest to see how many babies remained. Not two feet from the back of the house……

I haven’t seen anything of Mom today, but I think they only return to the nest a couple of times a day at this stage. I surely hope she does return, ‘cuz the babies are exposed to the world right now, and it’s supposed to rain for like the next five days. I was so much happier not knowing they were out there.

I generally don’t share Mr. Kewlstuff’s enthusiasm for cars, but this has got to be the sexiest vehicle on the planet.

It’s a meld of the ’57, ’58 and ’59 Chevy.

I figure if you all pool your money you can have one of these delivered to me for Christmas. (But listen, get the order in now, because I’ve read somewhere that they’re only going to produce 100 of them.)

Some of the comments left on this blog have Mr. Kewlstuff questioning my sanity because he can hear me laughing out loud when he knows I’m alone in my office.

In spite of the risk of being involuntarily committed, when a friend emailed this picture I saw the perfect opportunity for a caption competition.

Knock yourselves out…….

See that gleam in Mr. Chipmunk’s eye? I’d be willing to bet that he’ll be passing out cigars in just a few short weeks……
