Koko, Undercover


Over the past few days, the temperature has dropped and we are in the middle of another cold snap. Tired of the cold, Koko had a great idea: why not burrow under the covers and take a snooze...

You can tell that he is SO thrilled with having his picture taken.

Quack Attack


These ducks have become daily visitors now.

Taken just before he flew down to join Mrs. Duck, here is Mr. Duck on the roof of our neighbor's house...

Choosing a Chimney Cap

The neighborhood I grew up in was built in the 1950’s, so just about every house had a fireplace. I remember when my dad used to build fires and we would sit around watching The Walton’s or some other show and it would be merrily burning away. One of my favorite memories of growing up is when my mom and I would take long walks around our neighborhood. I can still remember that during the fall and winter, we would step outside and immediately smell the smoke from people using their fireplaces and see the smoke rising from their chimneys. To this day, whenever I smell that smell (say that fast three times), it brings back fond memories.

The one thing that I never really thought about was the fact that none of the chimneys in our neighborhood had a cap on them. Granted, I was a kid so why would I think about something like that? But, even as an adult, the thought just never entered my mind. I mean, who thinks about those things? Why would something like a chimney cap be important? Well, a few years ago, my mom and dad woke up and heard a loud quacking sound coming from their chimney. Naturally, they went outside and looked on their roof, fully expecting to see a duck perched on their chimney. However, when they looked up, they couldn’t see anything, yet the quacking continued. Next, my dad grabbed a ladder and a flashlight and ventured onto the roof. When he shined the flashlight into the chimney, there was the duck, stuck.

My Wife Met the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

Admiral Mike Mullen made a stop today at the Boise Veterans Affairs Medical Center. He happens to be the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the highest ranking member of the US Military. My wife was able to attend the talk he gave and later, she was lucky enough to be able to meet him and shake his hand. He also gave her an awesome "keepsake" of their meeting: an inscribed coin that had "Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff" on one side and his name and rank on the other.

This photo was taken from her phone. The lady in the red jacket and white shirt is the Admiral's wife.

Later in the day, he gave a few more talks throughout the city.
