I’m so happy Dr. Joe mentioned you on his blog.

And my apartment blended pretty seamlessly into the house it was attached to, a lot of people didn’t know it was a house.

If you know that big hippie garden thing on Camp Joy Road, I was living down the hill from that a bit in a couple rooms off the side of someone’s house. From late 1999 to early 2001. Unfortunately while the area was beautiful most of my memories of the place aren’t great due mostly to the circumstances I was in.

I’m kidding, but I ~did~ live in Boulder Creek from about 1995 to 2005. Sorry I didn’t have the opportunity to meet you there. But then I was kind of a hermit. I am “high functioning” autistic. I have been an admirer of your way of Autism advocacy for several months now. I enjoy the subjects and opinions you express. Thanks, I enjoyed your photographic 8 random facts !

I got tagged twice and didn’t feel a think. Loved the photo and that tree thing is awesome … where does one get one?

(‘ is feet, ” is inches.) So mine is about 3.66 meters.

Anne: Yes I think it is.

Someone at work showed me one of those beam tree things a while back (they had it from when they went to a test site) and I had a lot of fun playing with it with my laser pointer. :)

Is the second drawing from your scrapbook (the astronomy one) on old stripey printer-feed paper?

I have posted a picture of it at my blog. (It has ‘3 meter’ written on it instead of 12″, but for the rest it’s the same)

Who wouldn’t love words like Oriole and Grackle? My grandmother took us on a lot of birdwatching expeditions with her Audubon friends–so the names of birds were worth learning in our house.
