We took a drive to Lassen Volcanic Park today, which is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. Lassens ancestral stratovolcano Mount Tehama was envisioned to be some 11 miles wide at its base before collapsing. It's a shame its caldera was breached and no lake formed, but thats bloody Plate Tectonics for you.
We got very excited because there was snow there (check the pics below), they also had some cool hot springs(!), which were releasing a strong smell of sulphur into the air (or maybe that was from last nights curry).

Jedi Knight
If I were a Jedi knight
And somebody started a fight
I'd laugh and say alright
Then Jedi mind trick them 'I don't want to fight'
If I were a Jedi knight
And it was late at night
And somebody mocked my height
I'd jedi mind trick them 'this jedi is not small, I've made an oversight'
If I were a Jedi knight
And I booked an international flight (economy class)
But when I sat down in those small seats my pants were to tight
I'd alter them to make them more comfortable by using my sabre-light
If I were a Jedi knight
And I lost my voting right (Due to having moved to a different county to that in which I normally voted, and then having waited to long to register an out of county vote)
I'd get very uptight
And not be very polite (until I realised it was my own silly fault, then I'd apologise just like Yoda would have taught me)
If I were a Jedi Knight
And got a mosquito bite
Whilst fixing my ultraviolet light (for wiping Eproms)
I'd go crazy nuts on that mosquito, then feel a little contrite (not the Jedi way)

Smally - The neighbourhood cat
This cat visits us on the regular. When it rains she likes to collect as many worms as possible and put them on our doorstep - er thanks Smally.
For the love of reading!
Books are lovely and if you read a lot of intellegent books your vocabulary grows! Some of Mrs. Chris' book picks are as follows:
Not Much Just Chillin': the hidden lives of middle schoolers by Linda Perlstein
->Fanastic look inside today's tweenie-culture. Fact is always more interesting than fiction!
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon
-> A great gift from Grandma Rice! I could not put down this piece of fiction about a boy with autism (it never actually labels him with the disorder in the book).
Jane Eyre by Charolette Bronte
-> A truely classic love story that I read in spite of my college course work.
Happy reading!
