My Summer "Mixed Grill"

Ever go to a restaurant and find the special is called "a mixed grill"? From what I understand, this usually means they don't have enough of one something-or-other to make it as a stand-alone menu item. So you get a mix of things. Could be delicious. Could be... less so.

In any event, I haven't blogged for quite a while and I don't have the patience at the moment to do a proper single-thought blog. Hence, the mixed grill of my summer stuff. (Photos from various sources.)

The 17th fires a great volley!

Yes, Caitlin; It's not called "black powder" for no reason!

Does the pain of camping ever end?

Yes, now we have TWO cats... Pangur Ban (left) and Maeve (right)
I pretend to be unmoved by them, but Maeve insists on falling asleep on me.

That'll do for now. I'll be more methodical next time... I hope.
