Thanks, blogging fans, for stopping by The Outpost. Now that everyone has read about the Blogger Party, I can go back to my usual mundane dribble about life on the farm. But I do have a few small details to wrap up:
Hey - DC from Brainstorming - we're neighbors and I didn't realize it until after the party. I'm right below you on Mitch's blogroll! Now you're right below Mitch on mine. I really like your site.
And Captain Ed...you made a joke in the comments here that you might have cracked the camera lens had I taken a picture of you. Silly man! The only reason I didn't solicit a picture was that when we were introduced, I hadn't had a beer yet. I only got brave with the camera after a couple of Sam Adams. You're adorable. Next blogger bash...you and me, buddy!
Thank you once again, new visitors, for popping in for a look. It's safe to go back to your regular blogroll routines. From here on out, it's the domestic babble my 20 or so steadfast readers have come to expect.
And what tops the list of domestic babble these days? Why the Tooth Fairy, of course. I got home from soccer Sunday evening to find that The Senator lost another tooth. He was dancing around the house singing, "A dollar! A dollar! I get another dollar!" Now...I'm as proud as any parent when I see emerging signs of capitalism in him, but I think I'm going to have to watch and make sure he isn't trying to knock these teeth loose prematurely. This morning he told me his front tooth was loose. I fully believe all remaining dental work will be gone by Thursday if I'm not observant.
I don't have much else to report. The cows are getting fatter, the pheasants are due to be released soon, and the fawn in the pasture is getting braver about approaching the fence. I haven't seen her, but my in-laws have reported several sightings.
Ah...I hear Satan The Governor rattling his crib rails. Time to release the two year old. If I don't post tonight...call the authorities.
Maybe you should bring Satan (the child) over to meet Satan the cocker spaniel. I bet they would get along great.

Posted by: Cathy at July 26, 2004 03:34 PMHi Cathy,
Sounds like we're both rural too. We live on 40 acres in northwestern Wisconsin, but we're too lazy to have animals. As far as the land, we let a local farmer loose on the two cultivated fields. He has corn in them this year.
Although I grew up in MN, (we moved to WI about 10 years ago), I had to check where Wright county is, (guess those geography classes were a while ago), and I see it includes St. Micheal. I have a long time dear friend that lives there.
I've added you to my links too. You're right next to the Captain.
Hi Cathy,
I'm VERY new to the crazy world of blogging and might not ever had the fortune of stumbling upon yours if it were not from the Northern Alliance guys.
Your stuff is hilarious and you'll definately be a bookmark in my blog file.
If you feel the need to torture yourself by browsing a baby blog, mine is:
