Bear Lair is better than Bear Liar. <br /><br />® Irene: Bear as knight in shining armour? Hmmmm.<br />Jazz was very avant garde. Bear, not the world's greatest jazz fan, is even less pleased with avant garde jazz. Sigh.<br />Plus, it got rained out several evenings. <br /><br />® ReformingGeek: Glad you liked the tour. <br />Don't have a still, so white lightning is not going to work as our image. We'll lead that for Herschel's hemi half-ton with the hooch tank on the back. <br /><br />® lotta joy: Bear is a little slow to have a silver bullet. <br />Please be careful win using a bike. You knee-d to be wary when riding those critters, really! Not so different from a horse.<br /><br />® Heidrun Khokhar: Not sure about name, but Bear is too large to be riding a moth.<br /><br />® susan: Glad you liked the tour. Ironically, it is two very large houses, recently built on the crest of the slope, which are at the centre of our problem. Do you suppose there might be a connection with the Portland misadventure?Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-90371946291442316242012-06-26T22:52:23.581-06:002012-06-26T22:52:23.581-06:00® The Broad: We do live in a great place.

The pictures are terrific and show just how pleasant it can be to live in the midst of things.<br /><br />When I saw the photos of the blocked off bridge I remembered I wanted to tell you there were some major landslides when we lived in Portland. They're not regular events but also not unexpected in a rainy city with lots of steep hillside development. They are always unsettling but the last one wasn't weather related at all. A house that had stood for five years on a filled lot suddenly just slid down its hill and was stopped by another at the bottom. Neither of them was habitable again after that.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-62062080043090624172012-06-25T13:35:55.755-06:002012-06-25T13:35:55.755-06:00Since I used KeinsteMotte for my blog I find Bear ...Since I used KeinsteMotte for my blog I find Bear interesting.

You deserve some honest abandon with your camera and freedom on "Silver Bullet". I have YEARNED for a bike and got to borrow the neighbor's.

I enjoyed them so much!!<br />I'm glad to hear that things have begun to settle (regarding the river and the potential for flooding and damage.)<br />Great bike!! I love it, and you know that I'm biking now. Yep. I enjoy it very much. Yours is much fancier than mine, though!! Great bike!<br />I hope that you will continue to put photos in your blog. I love to look at the area where you live. Things are so different in the different regions of our continent (and world, for that matter) and I do enjoy seeing a bit of your world. Thank you for sharing. <br />Take care of you. I continue to pray for you and yours.<br />Hugs,<br />J.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214796594702277709noreply@blogger.com
