But what about the LEECHES????

**Biciclista** · 07-06-2009, 09:05 AM

well, i discovered, entirely by accident that there are leeches in Lake Washington.
the thing had not quite gotten itself attached to my ankle when i felt it (it felt like a yellowjacket was scrabbling on my leg, you know, right before it bites you?) and pulled it off.

I was NOT impressed.

I just saw the annual hikers go by my house

Kids from a nearby Quaker camp on their way up to the AT

**Biciclista** · 07-06-2009, 09:14 AM

people only hike there once a year?

**Zen** · 07-06-2009, 09:44 AM

The kids from the Quaker camp walk up to the trail head via the road by my house.

Once a year.

I'm sure you were out selling lemonade!

Had I known today was the day I would have put my two backpacks out for them to take away.

I need to get rid of stuff!

Ezekiel Raisin Bread is heavenly

I think I'm going to go ride on "The Hill" which is St. Louis' Little Italy when the sun is down a little bit more. I can practice climbing there and wind my way down for a few minutes and then climb again-- interval training! Then I can end my ride at one of the various amazing delis and have a sandwich for a recovery dinner

Reesa, tell me again what that little thing is that your cat is chewing in your avatar?....I forgot but it was funny. It's such a weird photo! And your cat's expression is priceless.
I always think it looks like a little pink hairless newborn mouse..... =8-o

i always think that cat is eating a goldfish.

Interesting yet hated individual died today..ok I thought he was interesting...

I'd like to watch "The Fog of War" again.

**Crankin** · 07-07-2009, 03:22 AM

I think he is interesting, too. He admitted his mistakes, but no one was really interested in accepting his apology. I understand that, but still, he did have quite an interesting career. I remember when my son had to see the Fog of War for AP history. It was an interesting discussion in our house.

Have you read In Retrospect ? I did many moons ago & would read it again but am in the middle of The Great War For Civilization. (still)

I need to ask about how to note references & titles on a forum

I know how to do Chicago style referencing for a paper but have always wondered about the correct way on a board like this??

**Crankin** · 07-07-2009, 04:33 AM

CC, I wouldn't worry about reference form on this list! I use APA style for my research; but if someone is really interested in reading something you discuss here, just make sure you give the author and year of publication.
I haven't read In Retrospect. My reading (except for school) tends to be lighter, although I do read a lot of historical fiction and some biography.
