Caves of Wonder

Hope you brought yer readin glasses. (That means this is a longer blog) I've been waiting to write again specifically because I wanted to post some pictures. And I got them. And you can see them. After you read this. I suppose really you could skip ahead and I wouldn't know but, how about a little integrity guys? Work is still going good. Filled in for a driver for a week so now I know the town, ate some tasty delights (lotsa tips) and I also learned I don't want to be a driver. I made it up to the glacier! For the very best pics of the litter click HERE. If at least one of you clicked that my happiness is complete. If you all clicked...my happiness knows no bounds. I went on another sweet hike after our first snow, no pictures but it was in a word....pleasant. Honestly, I'm still adjusting to having awesome around every corner so I kept falling behind trying to take it all in. Speaking of trying to take it all in, I completely overshot a pickup the other day driving when the sun broke out for awhile. Cruisin down Egan (out the road as 'we' say here) I came around a bend, the trees cleared and I was met by the most beautiful scenery I've ever been graced to view. I use no exaggeration here. It was one of those moments where I could not decide whether or not I wanted a camera with me. After much deliberation in what I am sure was the span of about thirty seconds or so I came to the conclusion that I am glad I did not. I do not regret to tell you that the memory of that scene is mine and mine alone. It's kind of crazy how not really doing anything beyond taking a moment to look can make you feel completely insignificant, and also give you the feeling there is nothing you cannot do. That's my magical view rant. Onto some randomness, I now have a full set of pink clothing. In short there was a wardrobe malfunction one night and I scored some pink shirts and socks. Go me. I ate an omelette waffle (delicious) had some broiled halibut from The Broiler (clever eh?) and guilted a girl into making me cookies (also delicious). I've picked up a new guitar (ibanez, electric, good starter) and two fake guitars (guitar hero, world tour, you knew I would). Starting to get dark a little early and I'm still not on a regular schedule but things are rollin. Oh yeah, hopefully I'll have Halloween pictures soon. I'm a genius and can't wait to share my costume. Time to eatza pizza and whatnot. Take heart, Brandon Loves ya.




Oh yeah. (If you haven't used slider, you can speed up or slow it down with the controls in the bottom left corner. Put your cursor on the pics for captions, AND you can CLICK a pic to see it bigger, in higher quality.)

Your click HERE doesn't work. So you know at least one person tried.

I was sitting here thinking- "But it doesn't light up when I put my mouse over 'HERE'" -and I still had to click it anyway just to make sure, darnnit. Those pictures are absolutely gorgeous. You're lucky you are up there or I'd attack you in a bout of unbridled coveting. I'm anticipating the mystery Halloween pictures with.....trepidation.
