Yes :) The first few about FotR excited me, but now I've seen so many. But still, it's Tolkien--never get tired of Tolkien, so I guess I'd rather watch the same Tolkien-related stuff over again than 95% of what's on TV.
Just watch the same specials over and over again. :)
post production. ;)
And you could quit at any time too, right?
Yes--in fact I have quit many times--my name is Fedora and I'm a Bakshiholic. . .
Boy did it pour today! - and evidently a little TORNADO even touched down not too far from here in Tenino! Woo Hoo! -
We got some new shavings for the path if y'all turn on the webcam you can see ;~D The Hobbitcam!
Hobbitcam is working here :)
It's been raining off and on here all week--so hard the other night that it washed grooves in the gravel driveway so deep I had to go fill them in to avoid potholes. Looks like it might rain again today, though so far it's just been threatening. No tornados yet, fortunately. Ironically I hear there's a drought out on the West Coast.
Can you see the big lake out in the paddock! Might stock it with fish if this keeps up... ;~D
I'm bawling.
I think so--you mean the bluish patch behind the tree on the left? Stocking it with fish would be cool :) Just make sure to put a sign up that no Smeagols are allowed to fish there! "My only wish, to catch a fish. . ." :)
A red day! :)
The cam we have running now is a Logitech that probably costs $20-$30.
Spying in new shavings! :-)
Ran out for a bite to eat with the gal that lives next door. Way too full now!
Yeah - it's awful bright out there at the moment.... lens has a hard time between the dark shade here in the trees and the brightness of the pasture beyond.
Hey howdy there! [sip]
whattddimiss? anything going on?
Tornado touches down in Western Washington
04:58 PM PDT on Thursday, May 27, 2004
KING This barn in Tenino was hit by the funnel cloud. |
SEATTLE – A tornado tore part of the roof off a barn near Tenino, Wash., while torrential downpours hit Western Washington Thursday.
The tornado touched down shortly after 3 p.m., four miles southwest of Tenino. It was down for 1 or 2 minutes.
Authorities on the scene said the debris from the barn was spread over a quarter mile.
Originally described as a funnel cloud, it was classified as a tornado because it touched down, said Allen Kam of the National Weather Service.
Kam described it as a very weak tornado. Since then it weakened.

Nobody was injured, but the weather gave area resident Ricky Johansen.
"It looked like a giant fist came down from the sky and pulverized this shed. It was like a hammer. I was afraid it was going to come back and get me," he said.
Drivers were advised to be extra careful on the very wet roads.
So, er, if you don't post for a couple days we can assume you're in Oz?
Yikers... tornados in Tenino? who'dathunkit.
Howdy sugar.
Apparantly you missed a tornado! Didn't ya?
