By now, I'm sure that you've heard of the infamous Mountain Lion sighting in our back yard. Anthony's quick thinking saved the day (not to mention his health and well being).
It's sad to say, but over-grown felines aren't the only disagreeable creatures to roam around Calaveras County. Case in point; I present to you the contents of our swimming pool skimmer!!
This is a centipede. None of us have ever been face to face with one that still had its wits about it, but this is not the first one I've pulled out of the swimming pool, post mortem. Apparently they get thirsty at night, or they are just bashful swimmers. In either case, let this be a lesson to you; Never swim alone!! Incidentally, the dime was added for a reference. FDR has never been swimming at the Hector's.

Do you think you could tell me the next time you post, so every time I check, I don't have to see that hideous bug at the top of the page! Nice dime...
*Shudders* I am terrified of centipedes.....they sting and are venomous! I've seen a live one (or what was presumed to be one) twice and I, um, yelped loudly, both times. That was quite a revolting sight to see when I opened the page. Is there's a name for the phobia of centipedes? If so, then I have it. :-P
Hey Mr. H!
While I am squemish about most crawly things in reality, I very much enjoy looking at them (at least that one). Great pic!
I was told by your wife to leave you a comment, and since I think you're hilarious I was happy to have this chance to read a blog done by you!
Talk to later, happy fishing of muli-legged things out of the watering hole!

Hello Mr. H!
What a very odd thing to call you - Mr. H. At first I didn't believe that you had a blog, but now I see that it is quite true. You have some really great pictures on here. My favorites are the one with the ladder and the shadows and "The Bear." I can't really decide between the two.
By the way, this is Jessica writing. My mom and I share a blog but for some reason our user name got to be her name.
I hope to see you posting again soon,
~Jessica~
Ok I really got into your great photography but now you show this!!! This is big enough to put on a leash! I have to agree with your son - let me know when you post some fuzzy bunnies...
Hi I am friends with Thomas. His blog is so cool. I totally love your blog.
I see that you enjoy taking photos. I love taking photos as well. I love all your firefighter pictures. They were so well done!!
Do you wanna be friends? If so, please drop by and post a comment. I hope that your summer is going well.
Love, Elizabeth
