Perty woods!
Lizs, the kids, and I departed Lizses town 'round 1 p.m. yesterday for Dorer State Forest, Reno unit. I have no idea as to exactly where we were, for I drove, you see. I honestly believe Lizses motive was to ditch me somehow with the hope that I wouldn't be able to find my way back to her house to further bug her. I remember crossing the WI, IA, and TN state lines before finally reaching our destination. I swear, If she had said "turn here" one more time...

At one point, she sent me off trail on a wild water chase (with a map of Rocky Mtn Natl Park), but I found my way to her camp after filling up at a nearby farm. She made the mistake of building a fire, which gave away her well-hidden location.

She later yelled across the camp in the middle of the night, suggesting that I pack up and leave before the howling coyotes got any closer. I was too skeerd-I-mean comfy lying there in my urine drenched sleeping bag to move. Therefore, I stayed.

Sunday, she asked me to pose for a pic atop a bluff. "Back a little further.... furrrrrrther..... furrrrrther...". Thank God scrawny little tree roots really do snag you - just like on the cartoons.

As we were climbing the bluff, she kept insisting that I go first. Several times I looked back to see here glissading(sp?) down the bluff face in a cloud of dust - always some excuse about leaving yet something else back at the last rest stop...

Anyhooo -
We're ALL back at her place, safe and sound.
The kids are zonked-out, and I'm not far behind.

We covered prolly eight miles, found two cave-stashed geo caches, and enjoyed the traditional post-hike burgers and beer. From the bluffs, the views across the rolling farmland was unlike anything I've ever experienced.


Thanks, Elizabeth, for treating me to a wonderful walk in your little woods.

LOL... lets see, who has seen big pink??

Stikmon, chili (I think he saw big pink this summer) ummm... others?? Hey, I posted a photo here. Didn't you all see big pink then??

Big pink has been retired. In fact, there may be a new mattress. Was pretty happy with the Cabela's whatever-it-is over this past weekend. In S.D. I used both it and my Thermarest, but did get hip pointers then.... hmmm, go figure. Was much colder in S.D.

Man faces trial in dog sex case

As bizarre as it may seem that a Westland man is accused of having sex with his girlfriend's dog, local investigators say such crimes aren't as rare as might be believed.

Former police Sgt. Laura Moore encountered a few strange cases during the 25 years she investigated sex crimes.

"One guy was caught more than once with neighborhood dogs," she said. "There was one case involving a man and a boa constrictor, and one with a man and a chicken."

In the latest incident, 34-year-old David Thomson faces trial after he waived a court hearing Thursday amid allegations he sodomized 3-year-old Sparkles Ð a female, part-German shepherd Ð while living at his ex-girlfriend's house.

Police Sgt. Debra Mathews gave this account of the incident:

A 10-year-old girl heard the dog growling in a spare bedroom during the early morning hours of Sept. 28. She believed that her mother's boyfriend was playing video games in the room.

"She peeked into the room and saw him having sex with the dog," Mathews said.

The girl alerted her mother, who also told authorities she saw what happened.

The allegations led to Thomson's arrest on charges of sodomy involving a dog. He could face penalties ranging up to 15 years in prison, if convicted.

A not-guilty plea has been placed in Thomson's court file, and he was released from custody after posting $2,000, or 10 percent of a $20,000 bond.

He returned to Westland District Court on Thursday and waived his preliminary hearing Ð a decision that sent the case to Wayne County Circuit Court for trial.

The incident was reported to police after the ex-girlfriend took the dog to the Michigan Humane Society to be examined, Mathews said.

Thomson, who works for a home-delivery food company, has been ordered to stay away from Sparkles and the dog's family as he awaits trial.
