Just got back from vacation. I went to http://www.elvinhome.org.
Got there Wednesday morning, came back Sunday morning.
I was at one of the vendor booths, when I noticed two Kaliedescopes (sp) on a shelf. I picked up one and looked thru it. It was a clear glass type, no bits of colored glass moving around inside of it. It was pretty cool. On a whim, I picked up the other one and put it to my other eye. WOW!!! I bought both and went around showing off my purchases. In one group, a guy said he collected antique Kaleidescopes. When I told him to look thru both at once, he acted like I'd just blown his mind, like he'd never thought of that before. I think people need to have their world rocked once in a awhile. Glad I could do it for him.
The weather was in the mid ninties, and dry. In my camping spot, the gnats were out. They don't bite, they just bother. They seem to have a thing for ears. And eyes. But mostly ears. Made me wish I had longer hair.
Other campsites seemed to have trouble with flies and sweat bees. Sweat bees do bite. Flies can, too.
Other campsites deeper in the wooded area had trouble with ticks.
One woman in my camping area had severe arachniphobia. I don't know why she came...spiders are everywhere out there. Daddy longlegs are common, and some of them manage to live long enuff to get fairly large. Another one I see often doesn't creep or crawl...it jumps. Quickly. Anyway, she happened to see a spider, I don't know which one, and practically had a heart attack. I don't know if she saw any more after that.
Cold water showers, in weather like that, are lifesavers! It's a trip to feel the cold water just peel the heat away and off your body. Try it sometime.
Must of been about 400 people there on Friday and Saturday. Every campsite was full. The campground even tried to revive one or two old campsites, just for the overflow.
I think a good time was had by all, even by the woman afraid of spiders.

I don't plan to leave SG entirely (get archived). Just not modelling anymore.
