Back when I was a kid and we colored eggs for Easter, we had a tradition of mixing all the colors together for the last egg... it usually came out the same color as that emu egg.

Well then?
Is your dad getting a hydraulic lift for his next birthday? ;-)

It's big and blue, that's for sure!
I gotta get one for Becky. ;-)

You could get one while you're up there...just have to use the same stratagem as we'd discussed for coconuts.
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Heh... Same experience when I looked at the paint thinner can I used when I was oil painting. The sum total of all the colors I had used was just about that.

"Emus are also powerful swimmers capable of crossing rivers— something they need to do from time to time as part of their wandering. Generally though, emus prefer to play in water rather than cross it: if a stream or dam is available, they take full advantage of it on hot days, sometimes rolling on their backs and kicking their legs in the air."
To: RosieCotton
True. But it would be so much more exciting if she could see the emus that it came from!

That could be arranged at some point, no? ;-)

Um...
1) They didn't win, and
2) They're out, but there's one more round of games

Well... it's not ~that~ tall. :-)
It really, really drives nice though. Very smooth and quiet. Lotsa power. Feels solidly on the road... very much in control. Everything is right where you'd look for it.
I like it. :-)

I'd like to go back later this year so Becky can visit. She's been begging to meet Hair and the horses for ages. All depends on $$ though.

Skins... The seahawks won. Now they play the winner of the Denver/New England game still underway, for the NFC championship. Winner of that game goes to the superbowl.

Booting up Google Earth...I use it on one of the lab PCs at work. On a commercial cable, and does not to through the firewall, so no tracking or stats.
I gasped the first time I fired it up. Last night, I "visited" Fort Campbell, KY. I saw my old barracks from Basic, still there. Also the Navy installion within the Army post, where they store nukes in bunkers in a densely-forrested area on the north side of the post. Also quick flyovers of Baghdad and North Korea.
