Sunday Drive

Em and I took a drive today and decided to take some pics to show everyone what WA is like. The best way I can describe it is WA is just like ID, but instead of sugar beet and potatoe fields they have hops.
This is a hop field you can see they grow from the ground up on these cords that hang down from the top wires. Hops are used to make sad men happy and ugly women appealing. I am pretty sure that is how half of the marriages here came to pass and three fourths of the kids came to existence. Apparently WA is kinda well known for apples. But what they do not tell you is that the farmers get a little upset when you go out into the orchards and pick an apple without asking. Now I like to think that this blogging tool is a good way to educate people, especially children, so the moral of this story is children learn how to run really fast so that you can outrun those mean old farmers who do not like to share their fruit. Here are some pictures of the surrounding orchards.




Right now seems to be a good spot in the blog to retract some statements previously made on this blog. I officially rescind (memories of that office episode(and if you do not know which episode I am talking about you are not a fan)) everything I said about the new Scrubs! After that first episode it just went down hill. So from here on out I will not even acknowledge the fact that Scrubs was ever on ABC. And I mean really name me one good TV program that ABC has brought into my life> You cannot do it, don't you dare try and tell me Dancing with the stars, yeah right do not bring that weak sauce into this conversation. Lost, c'mon get lost.

What I find funny is that Em continues to let me post these posts even after my random rants that I occasionally go through. With that said here are some pictures of a tree in our back yard. Em worked on it in this program called Picasa





It is really beautiful here in WA and it is a great place to come and visit and play golf. They say on this side of the state we get 300 days of sunshine and it is true. So come on up, I have this up coming week left with tests, then I get a week off. Then I go back to school till June 12th, then I am done for the summer till Aug 10th.

I have to admit that I enjoy Better off Ted. Also, some of the Scrubs episodes have gone back to the original purity and randomness. But then again I am easily amused and have a short attention span so who knows.
