Walking along the nature trail

? Over the creek and through the woods… and? grandmother lives in Milwaukee, wanna fight about it?

? Bridge goes over creek

? What is this I see?? ? Six deer in the grass by the nature trail.? This mini woods is in the middle of the city and surrounded by houses and buildings on all sides.? I would have expected to see homeless hanging out here (like by Gray’s Lake) more than deer.

? Oh, you see me too?? I was real careful not to make any sudden movements.? These young deer were so urbanized they not only hung out beside us two for 10 minutes, but a couple of them almost walked right up to us.

? Let’s get a move on.? The horny deer furthest to the right tries to mount the one ahead of it.

Each deer looks and pauses before crossing.? Smart.

? The deer run through the field along the trail up towards the busy street.? I’m not sure where they went or if they crossed, but I didn’t see any blood in the street the next day.


? Evening bike ride

? Gorgeous sunset

? Bare tree with many missing limbs from the ice storm

? We started out at Wellman’s on Ingersoll at around 8pm.? The place was empty, it was almost eerie.? Then Cherish went bowling with some chickies and I went with Shuey to a small house party.
? Most of these pics are a little blurry, I’m? still getting used to the Nikon D40.? I manually set the apperture to wide open earlier this day and forgot to change it back.? As you can tell on many shots, the depth of view is short.? Gotta start from somewhere…

? In motion


Enough beer to feed an army.? Tons of variety, that’s awesome.? I think we have some free thinkers in the house.? A fridge full of Bud Light? is all too boring.

? Mike races dog

? Dog wins

? Beautiful solid woodwork in this joint


Anthony wins both the “bum face” and “confused face” of the month awards.

Mike started doing some dancing that looked straight out of Hee-Haw.? No I’ve never seen it, but I’m taking an educated guess here.


Mike? playing the harmonica

? 
? This guy showed up and stared at us through the window all crazy-like.

? Leslie is pregnant, due in a week.

? Shuey accidentally stole Anthony’s beer.? When your drinking, tall boy 16oz. cans look the same as 12oz. cans.
? 
? Avid drinkers of the Captain Morgan Private Stock I see.

We went over to Lance’s place after the blizzard party at 3 Bag / 3rd Base.? They have an identidy crisis, by the way.? They have two signs in the front window, showing the two different names.? Make up your mind, 3-X whatever…

? Lance

? Jason

? Shuey says “What up muva bruvas!”

? Cherish meets a new friend, Lance’s snake Isis.? Isis is an albino? ball Python.? Very calm and sweet snake.

? Isis slithers around Cherish
? 
? Shuey checks his myspace page and “what not.”
? 
? Cherish becomes a snake charmer for the night.

? Shuey makes some awesome facial expressions this night.? Sorry man, they were too wacky, had to post them.? Your face says “the snake bit my balls.”

? But we know better, Isis would never do that.? Right?? Isis?

Good thing there was a blizzard this night and my work closed for the day.? We stayed up much too late for a week day, I would have never woke up.
