August 28--Strange Dumpling

[zyzyly]

The other day I was reading my community web page and someone posted something titled "Strange Dumpling". Hmmm, I thought, what's this all about? Turns out I misread it--it was "Strange Dumping", and had to do with some guy dumping the remains of a deer carcass in one of the local parks. In a follow-up comment today, the person noted that it's still there, and wondered if they should call someone.

My accreditation partners and I had a meeting today. We made a decision to postpone our accreditation visit for a year, for various reasons, including the state of our temporary lodgings. It will give us a lot more time to prepare, and really figure out what we need to do now to prepare. So it's a good thing, mostly.

It's hot again today, Hotter than yesterday, but the forecast for tomorrow has the temps back below 100 (barely) for a couple of days. I'll take it. One nice thing about the trailer village is that the a/c is a lot better than in the old building.



The new pig clock in my cubicle. I got it at the Portland Saturday Market, and knew I would put it up here. I would like my cubicle to be the most eclectic cubicle ever. That's my goal this year.

Dumping parts of dead animals is grosser than most. I guess it's better than toxic waste.
I love your clock.

I agree, unless it is for science. There used to be a webpage called The Spark, and one of the guys who ran it used to put pieces of meat out in a field to see what happened. He called it the Stinky Meat experiments. You can still find them online.

Sounds like a great goal! I wanted to have the cubicle with the most toys.

I have the most toys already. I need new horizons to conquer!

I like that clock a lot.

I fell in love the moment I saw it.

Let me not diss "strange dumpling."

I have still not had a soup dumpling. They blew past and are now vieu jeu, and I have still not had them. I can now talk about them in Mandarin, though.

That's an AMAZING clock!

Some years ago on a road about a mile from my old house, I came across a big pile of fish dumped by the road. No houses, no people, no nothing except manzanita and pines and dead fish.

Interesting. Makes you wonder the circumstances.
