I blame Ellwood Butts and Frank Haven.

Eucalyptus oil is a potent anti-flea agent.
It's like buhach. There is a neighborhoood west of Merced town called Buhach, named for the colony of farmers who set up to raise and ship the plants to Stockton on the RR.
Pyrethrin isn’t a new discovery; it’s been used since the 1800s. The Buhach company states that pyrethrin is harmless to animals and humans, and is EPA-approved to eliminate pests such as fleas, roaches, lice, ants, spiders, and mosquitos. It’s easily degraded by the stomach acids in mammals, so a human or pet would need to consume a huge amount to be affected, but pyrethrin is a potent neurotoxin for insects.

No fleas on me, or is it no flies? Anyway, one of the two, or both.

Cracked window.
Un-retouched sunset shots here lately (very lately).
Enjoy the movie. It's loaded with lots of old Indian tricks.
All the Indian tricks donini knows must, y'know, kinda boggle the mind.
“You let the posse chase you and I’ll cut into the hills.”
“Gabby, we’re heading for Table Mtn. country. The rest of you go with Gabby to Gilroy. He knows all the Indian tricks.”
“He’s got better than an even chance. He knows all the Indian tricks. But I'm sayin' he's a-gonna die! And good riddance, the varmint."
"You’d better get back to Denver. We’re heading for Durango country.”
“I’ll take what I want. I know a lot of Indian tricks.”
"It's you, Ray, not OUR way. It's an old Indian word. Ask Angela. She knows more about it. I sometimes call her Braddock for fun. She knows all the sneaky Indian tricks."
Angela's Ambushes, a Malpaso film, coming on Christmas Day @ yer multiplex.
The actor who portrays Lt. Burke's brother in Colorado is none other than Marshal Dillon's friend, Dr. Galen "Doc" Adams.
Bonus feature:
Daniel Boone (1936) starring George O'Brien as Dan'l and Ralph Forbes as Marlowe
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W7pZCwpclc
"I don't think Mr. Marlowe's very much fun, do you?"
"I'm serious. Really, I am."
At @ 56:00 there is some serious Flames sh!t and stuff: Hatchet fu like BooDawg do at 57:20.

When you hear the whistle blowin' eight to the bar
Then you know that Tennessee is not very far
Shuffle all the coal in, gotta keep it rollin'
(Whoo whoo, Chattanooga, there you are)
A game of Risk, a bottle of slurp, and thee/thou, the two most-likely to succeed fellers from the hills I ever heard of.
zBrown can join in, but leave the muzzle on, it's not a blood game, tiger.

I want the pink pieces, please.
And do like Mr. Faver and Rowdy do on Rawhide,
Keep on rollin', rollin', rolin', movin', movin', movin'...
I've always loved the idea of:
The springtime in Kamchatka.
The summer in S. America.
The fall in Northern Europe.
And the winter in Sun Valley.
Some things to think about free of controversy, free of charge.
No, she's not norwegian, she's Norwegian.

Thanks, neebee. I hope you liked the movie, Sun Valley Serenade. One part of it I really appreciate is the ice skating program at the end. The cinematography is outstanding and they seem to have been playing around with reflections in the ice.
That tower is the cupola on top of the "historic" courthouse three blocks away. It's due for another visit by me. I had no camera the last two times I was up there.
I've just heard from Moosedrool, who's still locked in the jail in Poland. It was quite a welcoming party, and the drowning incident had nothing to do with him or his friends and family, he claims. :0)

hey there say, Dingus... great sunset! ...
also, say, mouse, yes, i am in the process of seeing it...
faster internet, but:
i still get bumped off line, :O :(
and my sound is still warped, :(
very hard to do this ... but i love it... as:
before i could NOT do it at all...
:)
also, i saw a list of cinemagraphic winners, from the years back from 1924? to present... so, i can see a lot of titles of old movies, worth trying to see now... did not have enough titles to look up, before, but, when i went to see what the 'plot' was as to this movie, i got a
info page as to cinematography, instead, ... found the plot, later, :))
neat adventure, a climb through movies, instead of rocks, :))
happy good eve to all...
yet, prayers, for many... very many sad climber deaths, been posted on our taco, this week, :(

In Old Cheyenne (1941) with Roy and Gabby.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVpzel6gf3M
A final title for you, neebee, bringing us a Western States trifecta--Colorado, Idaho, and Wyo.
In this movie, Gabby collects "critters" and keeps a ranch called The Menagerie.

SOP/Blue Prairie

Blue prairie,
Blue are the skies.
Blue are the sighs,
Of a night wind, callin'.
Blue prairie,
Blue are the hills.
Blue are the trills,
Of a nightbird, callin'.
Every beatin' heart
Beats a rhythm that is blue.
And the moon has cast
A blue reflection on the moon.
And critters rhymes with litters, the ones that carry the broken bodies.
We can only pray the souls of the fallen/lost reach their destinations and their families come to terms with their loss, as we all must. Amen.
Life goes on and we continue to worship in the High Places, or just go there to look around, and some lose playing this game. It has formidable RISK.
I took some time to look through a Dover edition of two Cabell novels today, and was reminded how delighted I was with Frank C. Pape's line drawings or woodcuts, whatever.
From The High Place
by james Branch Cabell
Ch. 8, AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD
“If I could die now--!” was in his mind. “Now, at this instant! And what a thought for me to be having now!”
Instead, he now touched his disenchanted princess. Yet their two bodies seemed not to touch, and not to have moved as flesh that is pulled by muscles. They seemed to have merged, effortlessly and without volition, into one body.
In fine, he kissed her. So was the affair concluded.
I love a happy, conclusive ending. Especially when it comes both ‘effortlessly AND w/o volition.’
Sleep-bushwhacking.
