The Falls

(personal writing style) The Falls are the most awesome thing about Scarborough ever!!! They rock! I <3 the falls! (back to more detached writing style)

At the back of the campground, two well-trod trails lead to the falls. I had seen a picture once, a couple years ago, and it did not do them(it?) justice. In the picture, I saw a wide stream, and that is true, but where I thought the falls were just a few inches high, spilling over broad, flat rocks, instead they fall a foot to three. You enter the falls from above them, and clamber down rocks to their foot. All along the stream are wide white rocks, perfect for stretching out and sunning.

The stream doesn't get that beautiful on its own, alas. There are several push broooms scattered about, and on nice days someone often spends a few hours sweeping small rocks, twigs, and the like further downstream.

A few people built a small dam at the top of the falls, so we have a small wading pool now.

.... wow. Yay for not thinking of anything else to write. Meh.

Internet access really throws my schedule for a loop

It's time for my mid-afternoon siesta. My brain isn't working so good right now.

A belly-dancing class started last week. Damn, but learning a new dance style is a lot harder than I remember it. My shoulders hurt from holding my arms out, my thighs hurt from trying to keep my stance so low, and my tummy hurts from doing up-hips and down-hips. My instructor took 2 months to get belly-rolls, so I'm hoping for a year.

I finally figured out where the $2 theater is, so I went and saw Hitchhikers last week. I'm hoping to see Kung Fu Hustle and Kingdom of Heaven this week.

The nearest liquer store is something like an hour away. I'll just stick with buying Mike's Berry at the Junque.

I finally had the big emotional thing over the boy, so hopefully that's done with. Yay for being single again, and hopefully for a long time. Likely for a long time.

My dance notebook got rained on, again. Damn rain. Damn paper. Why can't they make water-proof paper? At least this time I only lost a half dozen dances, instead of several dozen dances collected over three or four years.

I've been really big into telling people my long term goals of late. Here goes... In three or fours years, I want: A truck with a topper, 4WD, ABS, AC, cruise control, a CD player, and a hitch. A trailer. A cat. Solar panels and a wind turbine. Flat-screen TV that doubles as a computer monitor, all implied energy drains powered by aforementioned items. A three panel mirror so I can see myself dance and spin poi.

I'm learning the Lilt, which is an awesome solo/performance reel done by lots of the Texas types! It's awesome! I can't wait to show off the first half to all of y'all back home!
