Halloween

We're into rainy season here and it has pissed down the last couple of days. The good news is that I can use the little wood stove in my sweet cabin now. I didn't think to get a shot of it in action though so you'll just have to imagine it.
Draw some smoke coming
out of the chimney here
I went into Ukiah the other day with Peter to do some shopping. Then we went to see W. because Peter really wanted to see it and I'll watch pretty much any movie going. It was good, both funny and a little scary but mostly funny. We stopped in Boonville on the way so I decided to get some pictures.
Here is one

The cinema in Ukiah looked so awesome. It's such a cliche small town theatre. I really wanted to get a picture but I couldn't do it without looking stupid so I'll have to get it on another day.

Me and Jeff went into Boonville to experience an all American Halloween at the local drinking establishment. They had Karaoke and I decided it would be a good idea to sing Hey Jude. I rocked it. The locals were confused as hell. I considered singing something by Hank Williams or Johnny Cash, and then thought better of it. Plenty of pictures from that night but the problem was that they had a smoke machine which whited out all my pictures where I used a flash, and without the flash they just blurred.





As you can see, I was quite taken by what I have now named the Frumple Bee. Bless her. It was a fun Halloween but I suspect it was a little unusual even by American standards. Anyway I'm using up power here so I should go, but not before I leave you with this headline from the Wall Street Journal.

Oh these guys have no clue

    That cabin actually looks pretty cool from the outside, is that where the other photos were taken? I thought that was just a cardboard box with a fire in it.

    Small town america is a bit funny isn't it, just like in the movies, you should take more photos, you're a tourist, it's expected.

    Check out my halloween costume :)

  3. Is it just you in that cabin, or do you have to share it with the rest of the Waltons?
