Right next to the "post reply" button is the "upload a file" button. You should be able to do it from there. I'm going to try one to make sure it works (it has given me problems before). Edit. I guess that worked, but it isn't just the photo directly in the post. Anyways, that's a dead puffer fish I found on the beach behind my house. I named her Sandy.
Flew into PDX today. Had a fat guy spilling over into my seat for 5 hrs. Got the TSA grope at security in Ft Walton Beach. Houston airport is a filthy pit. In my whole time in the south I was equally impressed with the awesome friendliness and sincere helpfulness of everyone I came in contact with. That, and the best highway infrastructure I've driven on as an adult reminded me of how Oregon was in the 1960's. Had not realized how far my home state has fallen incrementally under 3-4 decades of Democratic Party rule. Reminds me of when I moved from Oregon at it's prime to LA in 1977. Best comparison was Walmart. The one in Bend has the rudest, dumbest, laziest, most self-entitled checkers I have ever dealt with. The Walmart in Defuniak Springs, FL might have the friendliest, most helpful and genuinely caring professionals I have ever met. I wanted to take them out to dinner or something they had that positive of an effect on my day. As a former Federal employee from back when government's mission was to help and serve Americans, I was alarmed that only 4 people disappointed me with their impressions of Bend Walmart employees. The lady at the post office, a State employee at Wakulla Springs Park, and of course the TSA thugs.
Wakulla Springs park was fun. Took a boat tour and saw turtles, gators and a variety of cool birds. Will post pics when I get home. Got sunburned at Grayton Beach. Dined every other night at great restaurants, alternating with gourmet dinners cooked by my brother-in-law and his wife...SO MUCH DELICIOUS FOOD!!!!
Sorry. After comparing Sorry. After enjoying Florida's beaches without stepping in poo and not being harassed by someone else's wet lab running over me my first executive order will be NO DOGS ALLOWED ON PUBLIC BEACHES!
Wow, what beaches do you hang out at in Oregon? I've spent a significant amount of time walking my dog at the coast and have very, very rarely experienced what you refer to. Unless it's Cannon Beach. But then, folks there tend to have their heads up their asses a great deal more than most places.....and why I try to avoid that particular area. But in general, I've never found my dog or pretty much anyone else's dog to be a problem. As far as the dog poop goes, I tend to be a serious son of a bitch when I see people refusing to clean up after their dog and I'm not very good about letting it go, even if I have to clean it up myself. Common courtesy coupled with 35 years in the water quality profession..... Sorry Maris, but it sounds like dog catcher might be a more effective office to run for.....
I can relate to that! I left Oregon in 75. It took year or so upon return to realize the astounding change to this state that had taken place while I was not watching. Hey the pics of the Gulf were a treat for me. It always is a good reminder how calm the oceans are compared to this North Pacific. Geez, it is more calm on the gulf there than the dang Columbia River I just came up. If all goes well, we will be heading to that side of the continent this coming fall. I think I will start looking for a crewman.
