When you are thinking about fencing, you have many choices. You have a variety of materials, designs and types of construction to consider. If you have decided to use metal fencing for your yard, farm or other property, there are several styles available. There are two main classifications of metal fencing, decorative and purely functional. Decorative fencing, usually made of aluminum or wrought iron, looks good, and is functional as well. It is a good choice for yards, but it is expensive, and not commonly used to enclose large areas. When cost is a primary concern, wire-fencing styles such as chain-link, barbed wire or welded wire are better choices.
Welded wire fencing is similar in design to chain-link fence, but, as the name implies, the wires making up the fence are welded together, making the fence stronger. If you want to install welded wire fencing on your property, there are several things to look for in a quality welded wire fence.
- Manufacturer
First, look for fencing made by a good manufacturer. A history of making quality products and a reputation for good customer service are the indicators of the best manufacturers. Look for these attributes when you are shopping for welded wire fencing.
- Country of Origin
Building wire fencing is not too complex. Wires are assembled on a jig and welded together, often by machines. Because there is little labor involved, there is little advantage in choosing fencing manufactured overseas, where labor costs are lower. The price of shipping increases costs; to keep prices competitive, many overseas fencing companies must cut corners on materials. Choosing a fence made close to home makes it more likely that you will end up with a quality product that will last for many years.
- Wire Gauge
Gauge is a measurement of the diameter of a piece of wire. Originally, gauge referred to the number of drawing steps required to manufacture wire of a specific diameter; now, wire gauges are standardized to correspond to specific sizes. Lower numbers are thicker. Wire fencing is typically made from 12 to 16 gauge wire, with a diameter of 0.08 to 0.05 inches.
- Wire Finish
Steel is a common metal used in making welded wire fencing, but it is susceptible to corrosion. To combat this, most welded wire fencing has some kind of protective finish. This finish could be paint, plastic, or zinc. Steel protected by a thin layer of zinc is called galvanized steel. Galvanization can be done before or after welding. Galvanizing before welding offers some protection, but galvanizing after welding gives steel a thicker, stronger zinc coat that is extremely durable and can withstand many years of harsh elements. A vinyl coating is also an option. Vinyl is often combined with galvanization, giving the fence the best of both protection and looks.Welded wire fencing is a cost effective material that is just as functional as chain-link fencing, but will not give your property quite the same industrial look. When you are shopping for welded wire fencing, look for the attributes discussed here to ensure that you purchase a high quality product that will give you many years of service.

Glass Option - Neat Glass
You may request Neat® glass on any product with double or triple pane glass and LoE coating(s)*. Here are the benefits:
- Rain sheets off more efficiently, so water spotting is reduced
- Dirt washes away in the rain more readily, so you spend less time cleaning
- Allows more daylight in than comparable competitive products
How does it work?
A titanium dioxide layer is applied, which reacts chemically with the sun's UV rays and causes organic materials to decompose. When it rains, the dirt rinses away. Plus smoother glass is cleaner glass. The sputter coating process makes the glass ultra smooth, so the water "sheets off" more readily than it would on uncoated glass, and it allows more visible light transmittance than any comparable competitive product.
*Except units with specialty glass on surface #1 or #2
Glass Option - Preserve Protective Film
- Recommended for all windows & doors to protect the glass during shipping & installation
- Film applied to the interior and exterior of insulating glass as they are assembled

Provides protection during:
- Glazing and assembly of the windows and doors
- Packaging, loading and shipping processes
- Unloading, carried onto the job site, exposure to daily construction

NEW YORK, June 6 (Thomson Reuters Accelus) - The U.S. Justice Department on Wednesday said it has chosen a former New York County prosecutor who is known for his innovative pursuit of criminals to police HSBC's efforts to clean up its anti-money laundering program.
The Department's decision to announce its choice at a time when a federal judge's hesitation to sign-off on its settlement with HSBC has raised questions over the settlement's prospects suggests the move is an attempt to win the judge's approval, compliance experts said. (more…)

How does the cushioning on these compare to the Montrail FluidFeel? Your website says that these Bajadas are road and trail worthy, but nowhere else states that, including the Montrail site. Are they really road worthy as well?
Wayne Christoffersen
Member since
Honestly, no. The FluidFeel are more of a multi-terrain shoe because of the durable heel the can take more of a pounding on pavement. I think if you were to get these shoes it would really chew up the outsole if you were to take them to the road.
Great for Mixed USe

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I get in up to 10km per run amid my busy schedule, & my running route is a combi of paved roads & flat trails. What struck me first was how cushy (not too much off the ground, with just a right feel of terrain) these shoes feel, with a nice balance for someone with a high instep. Good grip as well on the downslopes. I usually wear a size US8 (snowboard boots, SPD shoes) but decided to order this in USD8.5 for more toe-room for longer runs, & it was a nice fit without being too overly loose. Comments on the treads & midsoles by other reviewers are a concern for me, but I doubt I put in distances as long as they do to wear the pair out too fast. I'm definitely looking forward to more runs with my Bajada!
good shoe

I am a moderate trail runner. I run a lot of half marathons and a few marathons. Most of my weekly running consist of gratuitous hiking on rocky terrain and steep downhills. I had a pair of these for a year now and no complaints. Montrails fit my feet well and the durability has been good enough. I loved the rouge racer, the bajada feels really similar to me just slightly beefier.
How wide are these shoes???

Montrail Bajada Trail Running Shoe - Men's sz 13
Lexi Dowdall
Member since
This is a "D" or regular width shoe. We don't typically carry wide or narrow sizes unless specified otherwise in the drop down menu. On the Montrail website it appears that they only make one width for this particular model.
Love it, but should be more durable
Member since
I have to say, I love the Bajada. I am on my third pair. Just ran a 50 mile PR in them and I always choose them for recovery runs and most long runs. However, my complaint is the endurance of the shoe. I haven't had issues with the mesh, but do see the tread and midsole cushioning wear down more quickly than my other shoes. Glad to see Montrail is improving mesh strength. I hope that Jon can weigh in on whether the tread and mid-sole cushioning are also addressed in the S'13 model.
Good Shoe

Smooth shoe that works well with an efficient neutral stride over varied terrain. Just enough cushion to help off-set the impact of longer runs while not feeling too clunky.
Montrail Bajadas - great shoe
Member since
Very light weight and almost like a minimalist shoe. The knobbie soles have excellent grip in loose soil conditions as well as over rocks. Gotta shake them out good before you get in the car though, oops, but hey I'm on the dirt, so so what. Comfortable protection over most big gravels and loose rocks. Roomy toe box - nice. Very breathable and dry out quickly. Ran a 22 mile training run on technical terrain and feel comfortable with the idea of runnining in them up to a 50K. Beyond that and I will either need more conditioning or a more supportive shoe with thicker padding in the sole, but this is an excellent tool for the box.
Minor improvement needed

Backcountry doesn't carry women's version, but my review for chick's version applies to men's as well, so here it goes. These shoes are overall pretty awesome. They fit well - toe box is roomy but doesn't feel overly so, and they've got a narrow heel to lock feet in. They are pretty light, enough that I can feel the difference between these and my Salomons. These make me feel like I'm flying on the trails. The ride feels cushy, and outsole is really grippy on steep and slippery downhills. A few things they need to improve. 1) they really need to attach the tongue to the shoe. The tongue right now is not attached at all - the whole thing shifts to the side and let in lots of dirt and small rocks, a lot more compared to any other trail shoes I own (Salomons, Brooks). And 2), the lace can really be better - I need to retie mine every few miles which is very annoying. Lastly, there are some semi-transparent "tendon" glued to the sides, and it feels that they would rip through the side mesh at some point. But I've only put 50 miles or so on those, so can't tell yet.
One more thing, while the outsole is super grippy, the lugs are placed very closely together. Compare these to Salomon SpeedCross which has more widely spaced lugs. The result is that the Bajadas tend to catch a lot more small rocks in between the lugs while that's not the case in the Salomons. I haven't taken these in mud, but I suspect it'll be very difficult to get the mud out.
Good, but not durable.

Love the feel of the shoes. Hate that they don't last longer. Ripped through the mesh on both sides within about 300 miles. And I'm not sure that the midsole foam wasn't already cooked by that point anyway.

Love the shoe. My favorite to date as far as comfort and all around handling... I agree though, they are the least durable trail shoe i've owned. Mesh starts to tear between 200-300 miles. For an Utlra guy putting in miles these shoes only last 5 weeks or so.

Hey joh and mni. I wanted to let you know that we updated the mesh for S'13. The mesh looks the same and acts the same and the change here basically represents an in-line tweak that will solve any sort of durability issues you may have experienced with the shoe last season. I myself will be running 5 ultras this season and this will be my shoe for all 5... Thanks for the comments and reviews!

Hi Jon,
How does the Bajada's width compare to the FluidFeel 1? I have the latter and am deciding between a Bajada with my SealSkin socks or Bajada Outdry.
Also, does the FluidFeel work on a slushy road? On icy pavement, I strap on ice joggers over my running shoes, but I would like either a Bajada or FluidFeel to handle some slush (road and trail), or can the older Rockridges handle slush (I can pick them up still from a few places)?
Thanks in advance!

I stand in awe of those super prolific writers who seem to release a new book every month, well-written novels in multiple genres. Are they blessed with rich, inexhaustible imaginations that allow them to pluck ideas out of thin air? Maybe. But a more plausible explanation is that they're adept at refilling their creative wells.
No matter how prolific or leisurely the writer, we all need to refill the creative well to keep our work fresh. This involves slipping away from our computer and our work in progress, and doing something totally unrelated to writing. Those who study the creative process claim that even seemingly unrelated activities can retool the neuropathways in our brains, and have an unexpected influence on our writing.
One writer friend finds creative inspiration in her daily afternoon walk. Every person she meets and the situations she encounters inspire her to play "what if?," providing a wealth of ideas for her popular small town romances. Another friend, a mega-bestselling romantic suspense author, regularly travels to Ireland. Not only does the pastoral countryside supply her with the uninterrupted quiet to write and a rich variety of characters and situations, but Ireland has become part of her authorial brand.
I refill my creative well by seeking the company of other writers. I meet once a week with three other writers to read and critique each other's writing. If one of us is stuck on a particular plot point, we brainstorm to get fresh perspectives. Before I know it, my imagination takes off in a new direction, and the well is refilled to overflowing.
Often a hobby or interest can yield unexpected benefits to our writing. Several years ago, I needed to feed my visually artistic side by working with color instead of words and learned to make beaded jewelry. Working with beautiful, colorful beads in crystal, handmade blown glass, and metal is not only relaxing and creatively gratifying on a purely visual level, but provided me with handmade necklaces to offer as giveaways to readers, who tell me they appreciate having something handmade by the author. Has beading made me a better writer? I hope so, and I'll continue to seek these unrelated ways to nudge my creativity.
If you're a writer, what do you do to refill your creative well, and if you're a reader, do you have an interest that, in a roundabout way, helps with your work?

I read. Other novels and characters often spark ideas and what ifs. Sometimes I think "that would have been better if…" and I'm off running. Sometimes I'll see something on TV that will spark my imagination, so occasionally I will let myself absolutely veg out. I think periods of complete down time are when my brain is resting and marinating new ideas. It's after those times where I come up with some of my best stuff, at least I hope so.
That was very helpful along with the comment. I desperately need some down time. I'm always interested in how others cultivate ideas. Thanks for taking the time!
How could I forget to include reading as a great source of inspiration? And when a writer is just sitting there, looking like she's doing nothing, we know the creative juices are percolating in her brain. Whatever works.

Temporal range: Middle Miocene to Recent
|Flier (Centrarchus macropterus)
|Scientific classification
Bleeker, 1859
See text
|Sunfish range
The sunfish are a family (Centrarchidae) of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the order Perciformes. The type genus is Centrarchus (consisting solely of the flier, C. macropterus). The family's 37 species include many fish familiar to North Americans, including the rock bass, largemouth bass, bluegill, pumpkinseed, and crappies. All are native only to North America.
Family members are distinguished by having at least three anal spines. The dorsal spines are five to 13 in number, but most species have 10–12. The pseudobranch is small and concealed. Sizes of most are in the 20 to 30 cm (7.9 to 11.8 in) range. However, some are much smaller, with the black-banded sunfish at just 8 cm (3.1 in) in length, while the largemouth bass is reported to reach almost 1 m (3.3 ft) in extreme cases.[1]
The male of most species builds a nest by hollowing out a depression using his tail, then guards the eggs.[1]
Most sunfish are valued for sports fishing, and have been introduced in many areas outside their original ranges, sometimes becoming invasive species.
Fossil record[edit]
The earliest fossils of Centrarchidae are from Middle Miocene Nebraska, belonging to the redear sunfish (13.6-16.3 million years ago)[1].
Recent genetic evidence suggests the following taxonomy of the centrarchid genera:[2]
- family Centrarchidae
- Subfamily Centrarchinae
- Tribe Ambloplitini
- Tribe Archoplitini
- Tribe Centrarchini
- Tribe Enneacanthini
- Subfamily Lepominae
- Tribe Lepomini
- incertae sedis
- Subfamily Centrarchinae

The United States Supreme Court next Tuesday hears argument in a head-spinning case that blends the rank bigotry of the nation's past with the glib sophistry of the country's present. The case is about a little girl and a Nation, a family and a People. The question at the center of it has been asked (and answered) over and over again on this blessed continent for the past 400 years: Is the law of the land going to preclude or permit yet another attempt to take something precious away from an Indian?
The case is styled Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl, but everyone knows it as the "Baby Veronica" case. The "baby" is a little girl, now three-and-a-half years old, born of the fleeting union of an American Indian man named Dusten Brown and a Hispanic woman named Christina Maldonado. Before Veronica was born, her mother arranged for her to be adopted without telling the baby's father. When, months after the baby's birth, the father found out about the adoption, he exercised his rights under federal law to block the adoption and gain custody. The two state courts which have reviewed the case have both sided with him.
The adoptive family, the couple who joyfully took Baby Veronica home from the hospital to South Carolina following her birth, claim that Brown waived his rights to custody under state law. The father, who now lives with the little girl in Oklahoma, claims that his conducts falls perfectly into the safe harbor of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) of 1978, a federal law designed to protect Indian families from "abusive child welfare practices that resulted in the separation of large numbers of Indian children from their families and tribes through adoption or foster case placement."
So there is an intensely personal component to the case. And there is the larger picture, the political calculus, that seems to animate every high-profile Supreme Court case. This is yet another case about federalism -- about states' rights -- some experts have told the Court. And Paul Clement, the conservative lawyer representing the child's guardian in the case, has made an extraordinary argument designed to undercut federal oversight over Indian affairs: These statutes, he argues, are unconstitutional because they are based upon racial classifications that violate the equal protection rights of non-Indians.
Some of the elements of the case, sadly, harken back to the bad old days of dark stereotypes about Indians. The adoptive couple, who've relentlessly argued their case in the court of public opinion by appearing on television with the likes of Anderson Cooper and Dr. Phil, have been widely portrayed as the innocent victims of the story. Meanwhile, Baby Veronica's father has been largely portrayed as little more than a shifty, good-for-nothing drifter. The truth lies somewhere in the middle -- and the fact is that Baby Veronica's story is precisely the sort of story Congress had in mind when it passed the ICWA.
Which is why it was a surprise to many when the justices in Washington agreed to hear the case. The Supreme Court of South Carolina, where the adoptive couple lives and where Baby Veronica was located at the time of the lawsuit, ruled that the federal law trumped state law and gave custody of the child back to her biological father. So did the justices take the case to reaffirm the primacy of Congressional authority over the lives of Native Americans? Did they take the case to strengthen the federal law? Or did they take the case to force Baby Veronica's father to give her back to the white couple who thought they had successfully adopted her?
Some Facts
Like most cases that come before the Supreme Court, the "Baby Veronica" case has many more villains in it than heroes. Neither of the little girl's biological parents respected each other enough to do right by their legal or moral obligations to one another. The father did not want to pay child support. The mother did not tell the father that she intended to place the baby up for adoption. The adoptive couple filed for adoption three days after Baby Veronica was born but didn't give her father official notice of the proceedings for four months -- that is, until just a few days before Brown, a U.S. Army soldier, deployed to Iraq.
There was a lot more of this sort of shadiness surrounding the adoption. Baby Veronica's mother knew that the father was a member of the Cherokee Nation. She evidently told both the adoption agency and the adoptive couple that the father was Cherokee, but also acted in ways designed to conceal the situation from Indian officials (and, for that matter, from the little girl's father). Before the baby's birth, for example, there was an unsuccessful attempt to notify tribal officials, but Brown's first name was misspelled on the notice, and his birth date on the form was, as the South Carolina Supreme Court later found, "misrepresented."
Transporting the baby from Oklahoma, where she was born, to South Carolina, where the adoptive couple lived, required the consent of Oklahoma officials. On the state form, one option for identification was labeled "Caucasian/Native-American-Indian/Hispanic." The word "Hispanic" was circled (although it is unclear who circled it). Had the Cherokee Nation known about the baby's heritage, an Indian official later testified at the four-day hearing in the case, it would have objected and prevented the child from leaving the state. In short, everyone knew that there were "Native American" interests in the adoption, but no one at the time did all they could to ensure that these interests were fairly represented.*
Some Law
The South Carolina Supreme Court viewed these facts as consistent with the language and purpose of the Indian Child Welfare Act, and it's not hard to see why. The law was passed 35 years ago because Congress was concerned with adoption practices that separated large numbers of Native American children from their parents (and their heritage). In plain English, having for centuries implemented policies and practices which shattered the centrality of Native American family life, federal lawmakers tried to do something remedial about it. From an amicus brief filed in the case by current and former members of Congress:
Congressional inquiry over several years [in the mid 1970s] demonstrated the severity of the problem: a large percentage of Indian children -- one-quarter to one-third -- were being adopted or placed in foster care families outside of the Indian tribes; state adoption policies provided little to no protection for maintaining the tribal affiliations of these adopted Indian children; and the loss of millions of acres of tribal lands at the turn of the twentieth century rendered the continued existence of an Indian tribe's sovereign identity dependent on the tribe's ability to maintain its future generations of citizens -- citizens who would learn the tribe's language, practice its traditions, and participate in its tribal government, regardless of whether they lived on or off a reservation.
The purpose of the law was to help protect Native American parents like Brown by preventing the "involuntary removal" of Indian children as well as any voluntary adoptions -- like this one -- which did not give preference to the child's Indian relatives. It was designed to help keep Indian families together -- or at least to give Indian fathers a better chance at keeping custody of their children. In recognizing the purpose of the federal law, and the concomitant need to protect Indian children from having their lives determined by non-Indians, the South Carolina Supreme Court cited a tribal chief's poignant Congressional testimony:
One of the most serious failings of the present system is that Indian children are removed from the custody of their natural parents by nontribal government authorities who have no basis for intelligently evaluating the cultural and social premises underlying Indian home life and childrearing. Many of the individuals who decide the fate of our children are at best ignorant of our cultural values, and at worst contemptful of the Indian way and convinced that removal, usually to a non-Indian household or institution, can only benefit an Indian child.
The law has been successful -- but not entirely. There will be no argument here that the law must be struck down because it has achieved its goal. In their amicus brief in the case, Indian rights groups point out that "recent analyses of national child welfare data indicate that the out-of-home placement of Indian children is still disproportionate to the percentage of Indian youth in the general population and that Indian children still continue to be regularly placed in non-Indian homes." The law also has been consistently upheld by the justices in Washington as a constitutional exercise of Congress's authority over Native American affairs.

The New York Mets' loss Friday was the 87th of their season. And it was a really important loss. With that defeat, the Mets moved back into position to have the No. 10 pick in the 2014 draft -- and if this holds over the last two days of the regul...Blog | September 28, 2013

Football Preview: at Idaho State
Northern Colorado at Idaho State
Holt Arena | Pocatello, ID
Listen: 1310 KFKA
Video Stream: Big Sky TV
Northern Colorado Notes
Idaho State Notes
Big Sky Conference Notes
Quick Hits
• Senior quarterback Seth Lobato ranks ninth amongst active FCS quarterbacks in career passing yards per game (207.8). His total is also second in the Big Sky Conference, trailing only Montana State's Denarius McGhee (228.8).
• Northern Colorado has won four of its last five games against Idaho State, dropping only the 2011 contest. In those four wins, the Bears are outscoring the Bengals 146-51.
• Senior running back Tromaine Dennis needs just 59 yards to crack into the all-time top 15 in school history in career rushing yards.
• The Bears have had six different players record double figures in tackles in a game this season. Junior linebacker Max Flores has done so four times, while junior linebacker Leilon Willingham (3), senior linebacker Clarence Bumpas (2), freshman safety Taylor Risner (2), senior safety Timi Niweigha (1) and sophomore linebacker JaQueal Walker (1) have all hit double digits in 2013.
• Freshman Thomas Singleton became the first Bear in 2013 to block a kick, stopping a punt at Sacramento State last week.
• Senior wide receiver Jace Davis is just three yards shy from appearing on the school's top 20 list in all-purpose yards. Davis enters Saturday with 2,244 career all-purpose yards.
• True freshman Jamie Falloon is a perfect 6-for-6 in point after attempts since taking over the duties two games ago.
• The remainder of the Northern Colorado road games this season all take place in domes as the Bears play at Idaho State, North Dakota and Northern Arizona.

Q:Like Rihanna Navy, Bey Hivers, Little Monsters... Stans is ACTUALLY the name for Eminem fans.
Oh, I didn't even know that about those Eminem fans. That does make sense though.
Also, I think Marina & The Diamonds refers to her fans as "The Diamonds". I guess those kind of fans relate most to this blog. :)

Survey: Have You Used Colored Chalkboard Paint?
We have a client for our redesign business who is interested in doing a colored chalkboard wall in her child's room but she wants something other than the readily available black or green chalkboard paint. So we did a little research on the matter and concluded that there are three options if you crave an alternative chalkboard paint color. We're interested to know if you've successfully (or unsuccessfully) tried any of these options...
1. Tilano's Chalkboard Paints, available in 10 colors (pricey!)
2. Tintable Chalkboard Paint from Magnamagic
3. Make your own custom colored chalkboard paint using a recipe from Martha Stewart
We're curious about the success of these various approaches. Do you know of any other products or options for colored chalkboard paint? Do tell!
13 Comments
I've also seen Crayola brand tintable base at Home Despot. The Crayola bright colours are as ghastly as you'd expect, but you can use any Behr or RL tint formula you like instead.
i've recently used Tilano's in the dark brown. it was pricey - $25 cdn a quart but one quart (about 4 coats) did the job. i am still waiting a month for it to set (as told by the sales staff) before i use chalk on it so i can't say if it works or not. the nice thing is right now it looks like a regular dark brown wall in my kitchen.
oh - i didn't realize that it was $40 a quart on the Tilano website. i got mine through a local benjamin moore store. they had tester jars for $6 available and they will special order in larger quantities for you of any colour.
I used the Martha recipe to paint a chalkboard square for my son on a wall in a little nook between my kitchen and living room (about 26 x 30 inches). For what I needed, it was perfect but I'm not sure I could have painted a much bigger area because the paint turned very thick and muddy by the time I was ready for the second coat. I seriously could have troweled it on. It's definitely possible that I mismeasured the grout and added too much.
Pros: cheap; great way to use up paint and old grout; customize your color; it makes a nice chalkboard
Cons: not sure there is one since the thickness could have been my mistake, but would recommend mixing up a small tester batch first before painting a large area
What a pretty color pictured there! Good to know about Home D's I will check that out!
Yes! And I love them. I made 3 small chalkboards in the pink, green and white for my daughter in old picture frames. They look great and add colour to the playroom. I would recommend them.
used the martha stewart method for a wall in the kitchen/dining and it worked well, though hard to see in the picture:
I used the Rust-Oleum tintable paint. You can see more info on my blog here http://mindiy.com/blog/2009/03/19/chalkboard-wall/
Actually, I'd go with IdeaPaint, which allows you to create a whiteboard/dry-erase surface.
I posted about it here: http://odietamoblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/bright-idea-from-ideapaint.html
I used the MS recipe, over a million layers of magnetic primer, for a wall in my office. It works ok, but my walls are very old plaster and I think they are just too textured for a chalkboard paint to be a great solution at all. The surface is rough enough that it is hard to write neatly. Re. Giggit's comment about the texture, it does definitely turn *thick* fast; they say it's best to make one small batch at a time and work quickly.
I started out trying to use the MS recipe - but after realizing how much of time was involved (and how messy it is) I decided to go with the Tilano premixed version. I didn't wait a month before using it though - I think we waited about 48 hours. It's been great though - washes up really well.
The Tilano Chalkboard paint has such a great finish. My daughter and I painted her room the Divaberry and she just loves it- really easy to use too. I tried the Martha recipe but it just didn't really work for me.
what do you write on the chalkboard paint? I can't believe that this is popular. Why not just put up a chalkboard? I don't understand.

"She" loves "Her"
She speaks so pure,
And laughs so gentle,
She's so unique.
She makes my world,
And builds my heart,
She's my life.
Her lips taste so sweet,
Her eyes unwinds a sorrowful soul,
She's every thing a man could wish for.
But I'm not a man,
Trapped with this body I dislike,
I wish I was not borne like this.
But I love her,
And she loves me,
We're two girls building our hearts.
We're not just friends.
She's my girl,
I'm her girl.
I love her.

We're planning a trip around the end of October. We'll drive from San Francisco to San Diego on Pacific Coast Highway 1. We'll have about 7-8 days and we want to stay in Bed and Breakfast Inns along the way.
We have no specific schedule in mind. We just want to see some of the highlights and take in as much of the splendor as we can. This is a first time for both of us along the coast.
I'm 62, my wife is 55, and we're not interested in great adventure. Just a pleasant vacation trip.
We'll rent a car in San Francisco. Would you recommend a convertible - is the weather appropriate?
We don't need luxurious accommodations, but we DO prefer private bathrooms. We want to do this very casually - no jacket and/or tie requirement for me and no dressy/semi-dressy stuff for my wife.
Any and all recommedations for accommodations, places to eat, things to see, guidebooks to buy, etc. will be most appreciated.
Thank you!
