Earlier this summer, Karen and I went on a short vacation to France — an event which spawned a couple of earlier entries here at the Big Bad Blog, and possibly might manage one more after this. Much of the vacation was spent in the south of France, visiting Karen’s parents.
While there, they took us on a short car ride to see a Roman Aqueduct. Still functioning, the place was quite beautiful:
Fortunately, the photos from inside the aqueduct did not really come through. It was interesting, but certainly not visually stunning like the area just outside the building. An unexpected photographic find in the French countryside.
Seven weeks until my daughter is scheduled to burst forth from her mother and become a proper, separate person.
Not that we’re counting, or anything.
Above is a photograph of a beautiful lawn in the French countryside. The lawn is covered in Garden Gnomes.
But no, wait! Beside the pole there is a little garden statue of a woman. Perhaps this is Snow White and the Seven Dwarves?
I count the Dwarves. One, two, three, four … five.
Is this Snow White and the Five Gnomes? Or are two Dwarves hiding? Bashful, perhaps. With Sleepy doing what Sleepy does best. Then I see it.
The rooster.
Check it out in full size, in the row of Dwarves on the right. The rooster. With the Dwarf/Gnome beside the rooster looking at it wearily.
Ah, yes. The rooster must have eaten two of the Dwarves. It is Snow White … and the Rooster of Doom!

This morning, I found myself suffering from writer’s block. I had no idea what to write for the Big Bad Blog this evening. I could not find the notebook I use to sketch out blog ideas. I was stuck.
So I got unstuck. I wrote 1200 words. I then read those words.
They sucked.
Then came a day of work, and evening. I spent a few minutes trying to edit those 1200 words. No dice.
So instead, I decided that the only recourse was to make my sister happy. My sister wants photos of “the bump”. So here she is.
