Breaking the law can pay off
Today I violated a law, my first violation of American law, but it was well worth it.
I took a long walkabout, keeping a steady eye on the mountains to the west. I walked for 10 miles or so, and reached a nice big meadow, filled with various flowers. A sign told me it was private property and to stay away..but something made me violate this and walk into the high grass.
For all my moomin-loving friends on LJ, you all know that the character of Snufkin just hates signs about private property, he firmly thinks you should be able to walk anywhere. This is very Scandinavian I tell you (and Snufkin is sort of Scandinavian I guess..). Now, I know about protecting the landscape and such matters, and I can assure that I treaded carefully and did not pick or bend a straw, and I will probably not do it again...but it was SO well worth it.
I walked for a little while and admired the many flowers some of the rainy days had enabled to live in the high summer sun...and then I stopped dead, because there they were!
At first I thought they were just another pair of the lovely big ass dragonflies that inhabit this State..but these were just a bit rounder in their body shape, and the wings had a slightly different moving pattern, and when they came closer I saw.
So shimmering beautiful, but small in an almost freakish way... association patterns head towards insects instead of birds sometimes when you see them far away.
I was completely still and was graced with their presence a while longer, the pair of Hummingbirds, and my whole chest area was just filled with this moment.
It was pure magic.

Sounds very nice. How's the rest of it going?

are about the closest thing to faeries
I've seen in this world.
And I'm sure you've violated some anti-
sodomy laws, at least in Utah. ;)

It's going rather well. It would be perfectly swell if my guy, who works with kids camps during summer (he works in a High School the rest of the year)hadn't caught some kind of stomach parasite or bacteria or whatever and been half sick and yet working.
As it is now I constantly feel sorry for him and am ashamed of my own well being and decadence. I help out as much as I can of course, and he's getting a doctors appointment today...
Hopefully I'm coming back in the fall to write my final thesis in archivism here in Colorado.

And yes! I did go to this mass sodomy-promoting gathering in front of the biggest temple, and I did smile all the time!

Boulder is something of a hippie town to some levels, and you do see lesbian couples living openly together, as well as couples of different color. Neighbors here is an African American man and a caucasian woman for instance...
The sign was by the side of a well fared pedestrian and mountain-bike hiking track, a very calm place, I think this particular large meadow (no private or other buildings whatsoever) is either protected because of some special flowers or plants, or - sadly enough, might be picked out to be exploited for house-building or other such unfortunate matters...
Another thing that makes Boulder (and Colorado) different is that more people walk or ride bikes...it's rather sporty, not as much as in Sweden, but more so than many other places in the States - from what I've heard.

enough to allow the casual observer
to see what it was.
But I like it. What would it be called
vagina ocularum? It's better than the
toothy maw.

position, including oral sex, is
considered sodomy. HTH!
no subject
Cool, we're obviously huge sodomists in that case...
And here I am thinking I bleed vanilla...
You obviously just have to move to Utah to be special!
(I'm gonna make that my motto...)

training, might you be able to point
me to a link for getting my tap water
tested here in Austin? And maybe my
apartment for asbestos, lead, or
mold?
no subject
Lead testing is simple, you can order a do-it-yourself kit online for about $10.
Asbestos testing kits are also available in do-it-yerself varieties from $10-$20.
Bear in mind that most do it yourself kits will charge you a laboratory processing fee too though - probably between another $10-50.
Connie Hockema; (512) 972-6653 or Olga Hernadez; (512) 972-6688 manage the LeadSmart program in Austin, you could probably call them at least concerning lead testing, and they might be able to forward you to a knowledgeable source re: asbestos & mold.
