Greetings, blogpals. I hope your summer's going as swimmingly (read: drinkingly, online gamingly) as mine is. I have just returned (again) from the desert, my second summer in a row to visit the Sonoran Desert , possibly the Largest Desert in North America and home to seventeen aboriginal American cultures (yep, I wiki'ed it), among them the Anasazi, who apparently ran around mostly nekkid (according to the film I saw). Anyway, it was my first foray into this hot, dry state, so I present you with a review. It's not balanced nor fair, since I didn't visit every square mile, but I did hit some of the high points and it is written in the hit and run style that we love so much today. **NOTE: Some "pissy" things are not the fault of the state of Arizona, but they were pissy nonetheless. THE GRAND CANYON Happy! -Frickin awesome big hole in the ground -Majestic -Watching an IMAX movie before you get there so you know what you're actually looking at -Breathtaking

"In Celtic astrology, you're an Alder. The animal symbol that accompanies this tree is the fox. The ancient Druids say Alder people are courageous, adventurous, charming, energetic and self-reliant. However, Alders may be prone to impetuousness and too much risk-taking; they may also need to work on their diplomacy skills."
Hazel was my #4.
Okay...I just made that up.
I wish I was the redwood. ;)

I think the Alder is a really sacred tree, Violet. Or at least it seems like I read that somewhere.
So does that mean you want to be the biggest, or oldest living thing, Steve?
