Oh man, I can't believe I almost forgot about that goofy alternate name. Now that you reminded me, I just thought up an alternate title for your upcoming bike tour--"The Return of Boof."

Also, I should have known you spoke Ojibwe.

I'm pretty sure that in Ojibwe, Feeshko means; 'I married crazy man.'

Speaking of goofy alternate names of CycleBlaze personalities don't forget Boof.

Thanks, Marilyn. I use a Panasonic DC-ZS70, which sounds like it would meet yours specs pretty well. Reasonably small and light, great zoom of course. It’s a minus one generation of the series so you might have trouble still finding a new one. You’ll probably need to get the ZS80, which is nearly identical.

Some more beautiful fall pictures, Scott! Remind me again what brand of camera that you use. We need to replace our Lumix as the zoom lever is failing. I want more of a point and shoot one that is small enough to fit in a waist bag but has a good zoom plus close up options for flowers.

I'd be honored to have you copy The Feeshko story for future HAC use. You might also want to copy Bruce's message in which he said most of you were thinking The Feeshko was either a foreigner or an alien. I thought that was pretty funny and, I guess, understandable.

I haven't passed your "Mrs. Grumby says 'hello'" message to The Feeshko yet, but I'm sure she'll be happy to know that there are other Cycleblaze personalities with goofy alternate names.

One more thing: I noticed there are now 17 comments attached to this single photo of the HACs. That's got to be a Cycleblaze record.

Might as well. She was just in Portland this summer and not likely to be back soon.

I suppose I could just tell Janice about my tooth collection.

The perfect Hostile Actors Club clubhouse!

With your permission, I would like to copy this and save it with our stories to re-visit.

I love the creativity and playfulness!

I wish I'd been there to see your employee's face as he tried to figure out who Alice was.

Tell Feeshko that Mrs. Grumby says hello.

Right? It's unsettling.

Tiva! Of course. I couldn’t quite bring it back. He’s a Formosa mountain dog or something like that, I think?

You’re right. I love this group. It makes me feel really grounded when we reunite like this. I’m really glad too to have a record of it like this to fill in the increasingly common mental blanks..

Great resource. Thanks. Gulls have been off my radar!

Could be, but up there it could easily also have been a Western or Herring gull. Here’s a nice cheat sheet for the gulls up your way:

Those are the three, but I think it’s a cypress rather than a yew.
