It turns out, 20 years later, that eggs aren’t bad for you after all—or bacon either if it isn’t highly processed, but that kind of bacon is hard to come by. It isn’t often you see this many people in an A&J strip! Maybe that will make a good theme for us here this week: other people in Arlo & Janis. To be honest, I’ll have to think about that one.

Jerry in FL, my guess would be “Tombstone” where Val was playing Doc Holliday to Kurt Russell’s Wyatt Earp.
Jerry, in Hawaii all beaches are public property to the high water line and can’t be blocked off by fences within that area.
Mark, same in Texas, although defined as “mean low water” to the dune grass line. Beach house owners take a strong interest in dune preservation, because as the dune line moves, so does your property line.
Mindy from Indy, is today your birthday you overworked and under paid sweetie? If so, happy happy.
Mark, I think that you are correct on the movie. This is not Hawaii. It’s the Redneck Riviera and the above referenced Golden Rule trumps everything else.
The state of Oregon, to my knowledge, owns the coast, I suspect at least to high water line. In places, it’s more than a mile to the ocean, in areas dominated by sand dunes. Unfortunately, I think more than enough dune buggies and such are allowed to damage some areas.
In ’62, while I was attending a U.O. marine biology summer session [8 wks.], we 5 spent most weekends camping, often in state parks right on the coast. Only time I’ve ever seen a pine marten in the wild, right there in the path that wound its way from the campground out to the dunes.
Good summer program, good summer overall. Peace,
14. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

Debbe 😉 This is undoubtedly true.

I have had small boat sailing friends, especially in Everglades Challenge, capsize, wash ashore and be arrested by wealthy home owners, while others have been taken in, helped and treated wonderfully.
Having said that I hate the wall to wall development Florida allowed.
The temerity of some people to wash ashore! Why, they probably left tracks in the carefully manicured sand!
Good Morning Debbe

The 5-6-16 A&J certainly has a lot of words in it.

white House in September. I wonder if they’ll let me in.
I promise not to come in with a rocket backpack or on some kind of motorized flying kite. You guys do have a sense of humor don’t you? (THE BALANCE OF THIS COMMENT HAS BEEN REMOVED.)
Jerry – I think it depends on which part of the government is standing in front of you. I suspect there is a section the Secret Service entrance test geared solely to weed out those with a funny bone. (The alphabet agencies are too big and cumbersome to worry about humor. If they don’t like you, they just bury you in paperwork.) 🙂
Yes Jackie, it was my birthday (38). That is about the best I can say for the day.
Good morning Villagers….
Well, a very happy, belated birthday Indy Mindy 🙂 Your 38th!! Why, you still have Pablum on your breath child……we love you girl.
Old Bear…haven’t tried in a couple of days. My email is through my IPS, or is it ISP, and it’s called Pronto. Takes so long for it to download and I don’t have the patience. Asked Ian if I could bring it up on his lap top, he said yes…may try it after work today….if I can peel myself out of the recliner.
Last night was horrific…this whole ordeal revolving around my ‘Zuzi’ is just snow balling out of this world…they tried to pull out a dent in the frame with the Danger Ranger. This place was a ‘flippin’ madhouse. My one nephew-in-law is buying husband’s Intrepid, and it ‘conked’ out in the drive through at McD’s yesterday…had to have it towed….and it’s his Danger Ranger we are driving…oh, the madness…
And it’s Payday….
later…..
GR 😉 the audacity of some people, that’s why I work with hens
…why you have opened a whole different venue…felt this way last night….

Curmudgeonly, I feel your pain. My mom was taken in an accident due to a driver that was high and I don’t believe that the police ever charged him with anything. It happened the day after my 2nd wedding anniversary, so always makes it bittersweet. I loved my Mom and she continues to love and look after me to this day. Happy Mother’s Day to the Moms out there and I hope everyone honors Mom somehow this weekend.
On a brighter note, my son and I have entered a 10K and 5K tomorrow. They both start at the same time, so with my bionic hip, my son should pass me before I finish. My daughter ran cross country in HS and usually brought up the rear, but while she was in college she developed herself and eventually became a personal trainer. She is coming in tonight and will run the 10K too. I have no doubt that my son, who just ran Boston, will win the 10K, but I think that my daughter has a chance to win her first race. That would be cool if it were to happen.
Steve, You don’t run on that new hip, do you? When wife got a new knee, which worked beautifully for the 3 yr. she used it, they told her No Running and No Dancing [she used to dance in Diane’s Dance Studio, which is celebrating its 50th anniv. later this mo.]. Daughter is coming home from Chicagoland for that. Have to clean out guestroom [wife’s old office, where the dormant TV is].
Peregrines don’t build a nest, but they do feather it: mostly pigeon and starling, I think. The lump on the ledge is a new hairball [featherball in these birds]. I’ve taken apart scores of same from various raptors, but just saw one coughed up for the first time. I think it was the tercel, but he and the falcon never pose side-by-side.

Which reminds me, today’s A.W.A.D. word is ‘refect.’

Actually, those sunbathing files are locked away inside the Cheyenne Mountain Complex.
Which reminds me, how do we get to those stocks of seeds when we need them?
Found this article about beach “ownership” in Florida – http://fortmyers.floridaweekly.com/news/2009-06-10/top_news/001.html – which indicates that the mean high water mark standard does apply. Interesting aspect that I had never thought of is related to those beaches that have been renourished using public funds.
