A tornado touched down just north of Vancouver today and ripped the roof off of a barn and dropped it 500 feet away. While rare here, if it's going to happen it's usually this time of year. I did notice we had some heavy downpours today and the temperature dropped 10 degrees suddenly but no wind at my house.

"A small tornado tore through a barn in Hockinson on Thursday afternoon as dark skies, hail and heavy rain swept through Clark County, WA"

March and April can get pretty wild around here. It can be nice and in the 70's one day, hailing, snowing, lighting, or even a tornado the next. Crazy.

"I have seen Timber Rattlesnakes "yawn" on several occasions, but have never been able to photograph one in the act. I did not plan for or foresee this jaw stretch. I was taking shots of this animal resting quietly under Red Oak scrub ( NY - 8/2012) noting to myself how bad the lighting was - and then all of a sudden its mouth was agape and my finger happened to be on the shutter! I decided that despite the less than favorable contrast, I could live with the end result!"

Great photo. I've only seen Timbers in the wild once. Awesome snakes.

Allow me to tell you a story.

Once upon a time, there were two people who wanted the same bookshelf. Never mind the reason, or how there came to be an available bookshelf. (Fine, someone died and left it behind. Moving on.) It was a good, sturdy bookshelf and good, sturdy bookshelves are costly. The shelf consisted of two units, of which one had one set of shelves and the other had two, as in the picture below:




The two parties negotiated and came to a mutually unsatisfactory compromise. Person A, who needed two parts, was to have one and Person B, who had originally demanded the whole goddamn thing, was to have the remaining two. Well, looking at how the shelf was constructed, it seemed obvious how the shelf should be divided; Person A would have the small unit and Person B the big one.

And there was peace. For a while.



Then it happened. Person B was a creative bugger, and set out in secrecy to solve the problem his own way:





Person A was left with this:




Needless to say, Person A was less than satisfied and would very much like to know the reason for this provocation, as the relations between Persons A and B had always been good in the past. Furthermore, Person A would like to see the situation fixed, or Person A is likely to knock Person B's teeth into the next county the next time they meet.
