Blue Heron -- Crazy Eights

I read Josh and Alisa's Blog this morning and working for the Government I realize how horrible it can be to pass time just waiting on someone or something else. So I decided to provide my Crazy Eights so Alisa has something else to read. Hopefully this will provide distraction at least for a moment.
