July roundup, part III - Tag
Laura’s got me playing blog tag. Seems the game involves posting eight random facts about yourself and then tag eight other bloggers to do the same. I’m cultivating an image of a grouchy cur, so I’m not going to be tagging anyone (the real reason being that Laura is my only blog tag-worthy friend), but if you want to feel tagged, I won’t grump on your fun. In any event, eight wacky facts about myself:
- The middle finger of my left hand (but not the right) is shorter than the index finger. You know what that means…
- I sold peanuts at the Ellensburg Rodeo when I was a kid. I had shitkickers and a denim vest.
- I once completely rebuilt the engine of a 1979 Datsun 510 pickup truck.
- I’m a sucker for Prince, MJ, and Fountains of Wayne.
- I shaved my head eighteen months ago and now I’m scared to grow it back.
- I have jumped out of an airplane 460 times.
- My favorite fruit is the Jonathan apple.
- My least favorite form of foliage is the Juniper bush.
I figure that the average person, were she to actually read the above, would have spent upwards of sixty seconds, and for that I apologize and blame Laura, whom I love dearly.

Your finger is shorter because I smashed it in Grandpa Ward’s pickup tailgate; when did you sell peanuts?; 460 jumps explains the bad shoulder, ‘eh?
