I know it's vacation and all, but there better be a lonestar hookup in the coming days.  Take her to the buffet at the Claremont, then impress her with a visit from the chef.

Went on a hike today. My lefts are so dead.





I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Wildwood Regional Park in Thousand Oaks, CA



Basically a 30 minute drive from me. The hike we did was about 5 miles. It connects to a bunch of trails that lead all the way out to Malibu if you try hard enough. Technically the hike we did consisted of a portion of Wildwood and a portion of the Conejo Canyons Open Space area.



This is a cool 360 shot from the top of the hike

I remember seeing an episode of Wild Kingdom when I was a kid where they were showing wild TACs in their native environment.  That was the first time I realized that, although they can sometimes be domesticated, wild TACs are vicious creatures that often eat their young.  So I'm not sure there is a reason the kids aren't in any of the pics.

There's a lot of opportunity for humor there, especially if Mrs. TAC doesn't know who Lonestar is.

Who took that picture?   Whoever it was did a nice job framing that chick's ass in your nice family picture.   ;)  :)

I just noticed, but if you guys were standing there during game play, you're fortunate some "fans" didn't toss you over the railing for for obstructing their view of the game.
