  1. Tried to vote, MZ, but the button’s missing.

    “C’mon pig!” - Loved James Cromwell in Babe. Far more enjoyable than the creepy roles he gets.

    A glacier is on my hiking list for this season, across Heliotrope Ridge near Mt. Baker. “Get one while they’re hot!” (pls file under ‘bad jokes, Thursday’)

    Not A Joke Dept: my mom’s been working on a prisoner’s release for some months, and signatures are needed - they want to reach 1,000 and have 918. Assists would be appreciated. http://tinyurl.com/n7xm2f That’s her at left of photo. Questions? Let me know.

  3. Busy and a bit under the weather today. Saying hi anyway.

    Love pigs. Love the image of them trotting around a light forest, having a run, cooling in a stream then having a big group hug/nap.

  5. Wondering what else you’ll be doing in this “5 Ways to Value” series.  A tree?  Rocks?  Fruit?  Dirt?

  6. Did trees already but dirt sounds good.

  7. Captcha:  ‘reaction’.  My reaction every time I visit this blog:  you deserve a prize for your texts, photos, cartoons, links, or, to put it more succinctly, for your whole site, Mickey!  Regarding pigs:  are they not the most intelligent animals?  One way to value a pig ... No doubt you have heard of Jeffrey Masson’s 2004 book ‘The Pig Who Sang to the Moon’ - well worth reading!

    And best wishes go to Zen Prole, Andy and Charles - for the rest of the day/night.  Here it is a bit too warm for the season (autumn/fall):  86F today.  At least the nights are cooler in Daylesford than in Melbourne.

  8. I’m a big fan of Masson’s book, Helga.

  9. Hello from sunny, warn Astoria. A new post is now up.

  10. Sound judgment, Mickey #8!  And only after I had made my comment on pigs being the most intelligent animals, did I read your post.  So pigs are ranked #4 on the intelligence scale - not bad!
