Oh Deer!

9 November 2005 by YukonJen

Last week on the way to work I hit a bird on the middle of the 101 highway going from Cotati to Petaluma. Posting one story about road kill brought a slew of other stories. So, on the road kill theme, here is another story about road kill. This story is compliments of Stephen because …

Chuck Stuck in Truck

7 November 2005 by YukonJen

I was walking to the Steel Bear Deli last Monday to get my milk for my coffee at work and I saw Chucky on this truck. I thought, I have to take a picture of him. My sister worked on the movie The Bride of Chucky in 1998. She would get a laugh from knowing …

I am Road Kill (or Driveway Kill)

6 November 2005 by YukonJen

This week’s theme of road kill reminded me of another accident I had. Not only was I hit by a Ford Tempo, I have also been hit by my own car. How many people do you know have been hit by their own car when there wasn’t anybody driving it? Steve and I lived in …

Decapitated Mouse

Everybody, it seems, has a story about road kill. Here is a story my sister told me when she read my blog entry Katie Bird. The following entry is guest-starring my sister as the author: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was a few years ago when I was an Assistant Production Coordinator on a TV movie called “ICE”. …

Katie Bird!

4 November 2005 by YukonJen

Katie told me her road kill story. She was driving in heavy rain and her windshield wipers were going full speed. All of a sudden–Whack!– on her windscreen. It turns out a bird had flown into the windscreen and got stuck in the wipers. She is sitting behind the steering wheel watching the bird go …

Road Kill

2 November 2005 by YukonJen

This morning on the way to work, I hit a bird with my car. I am positively horrified. I felt it hit my front passenger tire and pummel through the wheel well. When I looked in my rear view mirror, all I saw was a cloud of feathers. What on earth was a bird doing …

Voice Recognition

26 October 2005 by YukonJen

I just received the best compliment! I’m so flattered. I phoned over to the Steel Bear Deli for my favourite breakfast sandwich (egg, ham, English muffin, salt and pepper on an English muffin). The Steele Bear Deli is a wee deli/grocery shop just off the 101 (Pengrove exit in Petaluma) and within walking distance from …

Coffee Pot Polaroids

15 October 2005 by YukonJen

My first attempts at interesting coffee pot Polaroids. There are two real Polaroids and the rest I made with software. Which ones are the real Polaroids???? I was supposed to tell a story about this coffee maker except I don’t think I have one. I just found the box it came in. Apparently, I bought …

Add Fat. Add Salt. Turn Up the Heat!

15 October 2005 by YukonJen

This summer we had a party for my parent’s 40th wedding anniversary. Quite a few members of the family finally came to see what the Yukon was all about (after 30 years!!). At one point in time, I think there was seventeen people staying on or using my parent’s property. Mum and Dad moved themselves …
