Recently, a new neighbor has moved into our neighborhood and thankfully, he’s not a “tweaker”. He’s a cute little marsupial (well, not that little). I have not named him yet but I have taken quite a liking to him and I think he is getting used it to me also. Tonight was the first time he was photogenic for me.

I have a huge affinity for animals. I love them more than people, true. In fact, one of my friends and I had a conversation once, built around a scenario of a burning building. There’s a human trapped inside but also a cat/dog, who would you save first?

Anyway, I digress. In the midst of my voyage on the internet sometime last week in the wee hours of the morn’, I found this “talking goat” video on YouTube.

Enjoy!

Last night, Christy and I went on a night hike with the Sierra Club around my ol’ stomping grounds in Turtle Rock.

There’s something about the smell of the cypress and eucalyptus trees, the wild mustard accompanied with the sounds of the tree frogs and the remains of coyote poop on the trail that bring me back to the days of my youth. Although, most of the area is built up now with it’s multi-million dollar homes and pretentious occupiers, thankfully they have managed to set aside a bit of land for conservations sake.

Overall the hike was about 4.54 miles – Most of it being uphill! I’ve got the shin splints and a blister to prove it. It was pretty much a non-stop hike so I didn’t get to take as many pictures as i would have liked to. Overall, It was a great evening though. I have a few pics from my crappy camera phone below. Next time, I will bring a real camera so I can capture the awesomeness.
