I've spent most of my life in the desert (16 years in Nevada and 8 in Arizona), so where I come from, this sort of behavior is just common sense.
Jabberwocky - 2008-02-21: 09:12:00
I like the picture today James - it's closer to a cartoon
Thanks Jabberwocky. I'm having a little fun with the photos -- just to keep them light. And by the way, we're floating in great words today. Obviously everyone here is over-hydrated. ~ James

Every day there are so many brilliant and funny creations! Especially so today! Kudos to all you verbotomists!
silveryaspen - 2008-02-21: 14:02:00
You and your picture cartoons inspired a new definition submission today, James!
Hey Silvery, thanks for the definition! I was wondering what I was doing... So I'm glad that you have defined it. And thanks for all the creative energy which you are sharing with everyone! ~ James
