Life, the Universe, and Everything!

Well, happy birthday to me, and I know a lady never reveals her age, but I am no lady: I've just become the answer to the Ultimate Question.


Observed it with my mom, on the Mile-High Swinging Bridge at Grandfather Mountain, near Blowing Rock, NC. We also went to the nature museum and saw the animal "habitats" (essentially, a zoo, but with local wildlife): three black bears (one actually cinnamon colored), a golden eagle, lots of deer, and a cougar*. Bonus animals not actually part of the exhibit, but hanging out there anyway, included a bevy of chipmunks and one hilarious raven who obviously found something fun to play in on one of the big rocks in the deer enclosure.




*no, it wasn't a mirror, smartass.

Happy Birthday! Hanging around my neck of the woods, eh? (Except, I'm not there right now, so is it really my neck of the woods? Hmm...)

Enjoy your time. ^_^ Happy Birthday! :)

You were in my neck of the woods, then. (Proud graduate of Watauga High School and former resident of Boone, NC, about fifteen miles away.) My brother used to scare me by jiggling the mile-high bridge and my parents' company picnics always included free admission to the Grandfather Mountain habitat so that became a yearly ritual for us.

Anyway, I'm really glad you had a fun day. I am about to turn twenty-nine myself next week, so birthdays are on my mind.

Sorry to be late! Happy birthday to you, love!

Sounds like your birthday was memorable (in a good way).
