We have received another offer for adverts on our website. We turned down the last couple of requests and I wanted to ask you, our readership, what we should do? Tell them to shove off or take the money and run with it? Leave us a comment and let us know what you think.
Kate and I are once again changing our blog theme. We hope it will allow for easy navigation.
Well I’m off to a fish hatchery to see some New York native frogs.
—————————
8:00 PM – Update!
I went to a fish hatchery about an hour from our place and saw many native New Yorker frogs, turtles and fish. Here are two shots: a two headed six legged turtle and another larger one headed four legged turtle.


p.s. my new lens is wonderful!
I had a photo selected for www.schmpa.com’s Portland information page. Click on the following link and then click on the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) section for addition information. The information will load in the right and there will be two arrows you can use to scroll through the pictures. My photo is an orange/yellow cut of a pregnant woman’s tummy. Anyway thats all I wanted to say.
Drumroll please…. KATE IS THE OFFICIAL WINNER!!
Kate = 191 Unique visitors
Neil = 166 Unique visitors
At final tally this morning Neil appeared to have jumped ahead to 196 in the 11th hour, but upon further investigation it was revealed to be a sneaky snake friend Jason Dilworth trying to cheat. But, as we all learned in our youth… cheaters never prosper.
Keep on checking our website & your favorite blog, which going by the stats is probably Kate’s.

Well ya’ll know how it is; fall in love, get married, buy a web domain, and have a blog competition. As you might have heard the stakes are high. We are far beyond bragging rights and first dibs on the ice cream. We are talking about a pair of boots and a very pricey useless electronic apparatus (probable a shaving cream warmer). So please look to your left, find the links to Kate or Neil’s blog, and vote with your mouse click. The winner will be the one with the most hits & comments on their blog. The competition ends Friday the 15th of June at midnight MST. Vote by your visit and come see us again!
We are heading out! Off into the wild blue yonder that is Central America. We are flying into Guatemala City, and then to Antigua the next day. Neil is going to learn Spanish in a one-week language course & we should be set.
Then we’ll border hop & make a beeline for San Cristobal, Chiapas (Mexico).
Adelante y arriba!
