Mary's Peak, the highest point in the Oregon Coast Range, is highlighted alongside images of local flora, including magnolias and various flowers in the neighborhood. The discussion touches on the Fibonacci sequence related to flower petal counts, with some participants expressing frustration over flowers that do not conform to this pattern. The conversation shifts to the contrasting weather experiences, with one participant enjoying warm, sunny conditions while others face snow and cold. Concerns arise about the lack of rain and its potential impact on summer conditions, including increased bug populations and wildfire risks. Humor and light banter about living situations and local wildlife, including skunks and deer, add a playful tone to the discussion. Overall, the thread captures a blend of appreciation for nature, weather-related challenges, and community interactions.

Aint that the best? I have a straight on view of the grassy quad from my bedroom window. The beach is about 30 miles away here, so all of the girls sunbathe in their bikinis out on the quad. It makes a very nice backdrop to typing up lab reports, reading philosophy texts, and posting here every 15 minutes.


Its is the best.

Hmmm...oops, i think i just drooled out the window!

We used to have a little pond surrounded by a nice lawn on campus that everyone sunbathed around (when it was warm enough to sunbathe). But, it wasn't in view of any dorms, just classrooms and labs (I suppose the sunbathers may have distracted a few guys sitting near the windows in the classrooms, but nobody ever stopped them or objected to them coming out and joining us...well, if they wore bikinis we'd probably laugh, but if they just took their shirts off to play frisbee, everyone was happy).

another Oregonian appreciating early spring...

The weather here in Oregon has been so terrific! But Ivan is right, we will pay this summer since the amount of rainfall is so low considering what we normally get. Allergies have hit me early too :mad:

Another bad thing about this early spring weather without a good hard freeze is there will be a lot more bugs. For now, I can't complain :biggrin:

No kidding. ...already broke out the Claritin and at the ready with the Benedryl.

As for the bugs, I'm more worried about our skunk population this year.

Well, they couldn't have all been female, so let's take a conservative estimate that half of them were...hmmm...3.5 females. Would you like me to round up or down? Or should we just assume one sterile pseudohermaphrodite? Okay 3, and 7 babies each...oh, plus a new litter to last year's mommy...28 baby skunks (plus 4 parents). Hmmm...if there's a bumper crop of insects (i.e., skunk food), the litter size might even be a bit larger! :eek: We better start working on baby skunk names now. :smile:

I had to run off a pack of four dogs by using the 12 gauge yesterday... I also talked to my tractor and dozer guy who has already trapped 11 skunks this year [then he shoots them]. Since we haven't seen any yet I'm hoping that they have all left our property. With the early spring it sounds like we should have seen them.

We also have a momma and baby deer living on our property this year. I can get within about fifty feet of them so far... They have learned the sound of my voice and simply continue eating when I'm near. Tsu's gardens will are in big trouble!

One more note, it seems that with the rabbit population this year, we are doomed to another [add echo and reverb] NIGHT OF THE SCREAMING BUNNIES.
