One house, Two people, Five Rabbits! (Oh - and a cat.)
"I can't bear to look at him Winston - is he just a total wreck?" "Oh my no, don't look Lucky - it is very sad."
BL is cleaning the condo of Baxter and Zoey. It is nasty outside -I am holding my Zoey, Zoey :<)... "No I would not" .... Baxter

The deadly explosion at the Tesoro Refinery in Anacortes is only a few miles from us. It happened in the night and we were not aware of it. We are a small-population area up here and everyone knows someone who works at one of the two refineries. It's a nasty business - large tankers come and go bringing crude from Alaska and taking out gasoline and jet fuel - a big spill would be disastrous for Puget Sound. Most folks up here are very conflicted about the whole business.
Savannah and The Princess have their pens on the floor behind the sink. There is a 3 1/2 foot board partition between them. They know each other is there - they could give a whip!
Basketball tournament - 65 teams play "one loss and you are out" to determine the champ. How many games does it take? Answer - 64. Every team but one must lose once - that means 64 losses. (That'll wow them this weekend when the final big game is on - ask them how many games have been played so far in the tournament (63 - this is the 64th!))
So far behind ... company, couple evening engagements, yada yada .... I even am almost out of pictures of rabbits - can you believe that?
THIS C.A.T. got in a fight and got bit on the foot. It got infected and an abscess. C.A.T. went to the V.E.T. today for fixing. Now C.A.T. might have to stay in the house for a day and a night. TRUBBLE for sure ... you can B.E.T. on it.
If you follow RoadBunner (and Mario), you know she ran the LA Marathon this past Sunday - 26.2 miles. If you follow me, you know I am trying to build up some meagre mileage and speed - starting from a horrid 1/2 mile on Feb 1. The watch in the photo below is my time today for 4 miles - a bit of which I had to walk. It averages out to 11 minutes 20 seconds per mile! If you do the arithmetic, RB did the whole damn Marathon with an average of 11 minutes per mile - and walked a bit and took pictures too. I'm depressed....
I moved from Michigan to Seattle in 1966 to go to work for Boeing. I hardly had a clue who they were - I knew they made bombers and the 707. I hired in as a Systems Analyst. I also had no clue what that was - neither did they! The pay was good. I was very fortunate to work my entire career for the Commercial Airplanes part - not the Military. During my time the 707, 727, 737, 747, 757, 767, and 777 all were in production at one time or another. (There never was a commercial 717 until after Boeing bought McDonnel Douglas and essentially renamed the old DC 9 as the 717 - what a sad use of the number.) I saw the first flight of the 747 - absolutely unbelievable at the time! The best part about working there for me? -- you wore a badge. Even though Boeing is a huge place with many many facilities and buildings and stuff, you could go, with that badge, in any non military-classified facility, anywhere, as long as you did not go "outside the lines" and interfere with the work. No questions asked! I was a desk jockey but that guy in blue pants and shirt could be me on a little "break" tour! You have not lived until you walked through the wing-riveting shop!
I joined some buddies on a 4-person Relay Team. We each ran 2 1/2 miles - a very hard, and hilly loop (Sunset Loop) in Washington Park, Anacortes. (Some of you have been there I suspect.) I was able to run my whole 2 1/2 mile leg without stopping. I will not tell you how long it took, but it was faster than ANY of you could walk it! Our team WON our age group! WOOT! (What age group? - Men, Over 40. We are the "Oldies But Goodies".) PS FOTA - Sharron's husband Steve smoked me bad! Dr. Les C. was there and ran all 4 laps by himself!!!


I am having a bit of computer trouble and I have done this post from a rogue machine with none of my Bunny Pix on it! SO ... I grabbed this .. it is the very first picture I ever posted on the blog well more than 2 years ago. Savannah is as pretty and special as she was then. Probably a bit more - ah - rotund - too!
I hope everybunny goes to the back corner of the box and covers the ears with all they got ....
