Some say the world will end with fire.

Others say with ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those that favor fire.

But if I had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate,

To say that for destruction ice,

Is also great and would suffice.

NEW EXCUSE NEEDED---LEAF RIDE WON'T WORK ANYMORE

I was on the mountain yesterday and the leaves were mostly there but around 2:30 the wind started blowing hard and the leaves were falling pretty fast. Took Inklings up today to see them and they are mostly gone---so now I need a new excuse to take an afternoon ride.



We actually had snow on both sides of us where this picture was taken---in one spot the snow came all the way down to the road.

This dude had a mouse in the tree and was way too hungry to fly just because a truck with a blaring radio stopped. He didn't even consider leaving the mouse.

"We need to go to the mountains to check how global warming is affecting the snow pack."

I suppose a few more excuses could be contrived if necessary. The forlorn look of the trees without leaves is always enough for me.

Thanks Looney---I'll use that one of these days.

It won't work once there is snow up there. I am not going to the mountains in the winter. You can go with friends, though. :0)
