Thanks Palo.. Bookmarked them, for those quiet times.. ;)

[palo verde]

thank you loddy
I appreciate it
you are nice guy
I bet there will be lovely pics of Arizona there
I am on my over now
Love, Palo

andysmom, wonderful miracle
wash is flooded so Bill is taking Happy to park
guess what?
he invited Lulu too
they left in chrysler together
I am so happy
she's never been invited to join them before
she went out of her mind with bliss

[palo verde]

I bookmarked them for quiet times too
habs tries to read them but gets headache
chrissie should stay out of them, even if someone baits her
she joined that forum cause her ideology is conservative/libertarian
and she wanted to share views with others who think that way
they may be champion fighters on the soap opera threads
plus those who go on cause they like to fight
I read it like a play
it has whole cast of characters I never met
Love, Palo

[grannie9]

My eyes are closeing honeybunch.. I have to have a quick nap before I make the pie.. See you in a bit.. smoooch

[palo verde]

I like your flower pics better than Georgia O'Keefe
yours have passion and loveliness
she's too clinical for me
Love, Palo

she's like a scientist not a lover

[lodwick]

Great news about Lulu's
big adventure with the guys.

Way to go BigBill - have a ball.

We'll be going to visit friends in
the country tonight, so I need to start
my shrimp prep soon.

Your dad would be proud of me today -
I just finished my fried egg & bacon sandwich
and will be working closely with shellfish soon. ;-)

[palo verde]

the one from zdnet I have too
loddy was helpful to give us that link

I read a lil more of that long soap opera thread
I notice some fighting makes me laugh
some I dont go for
I dont like bitchiness I see
I like fighting with zest
bitchy fighting seems silly to me
the other has some verve

[palo verde]

Happy and Lulu are back
they had great time
Bill linked their leashes to each other, so they ran off together in tandem
Happy prevented Lulu from running away
they had wonderful time in the huge desert wash below the mountains
I am reading book bout expedition to top of Mount Everest
by guy from Seattle who went
I am learning a lot
and it is interesting
Love, Palo

[lodwick]

I think I may have read that book.
Is the guy a surgeon?
Drawing a total blank on the book's title.

CRS syndrome. ;-)

The book I read made me plenty happy
to have never had the desire to scale Everest.

[lodwick]

Another neat music site

This one opens the country selections channel, but delta dawn has other options from which to choose.

[andysandmikesmom]

Howdy all...finally made my way here...just slept very late today....dont know what BigDom has in store for us today, will have to wait, until he wakes up...which should be soon

Loddy, thanks for the music site, I love country music...

Grannie...as usual, beautiful pics....

Palo...Lulu was a special gal today, getting to go with Bill and Happy...I know she felt so special, riding in the car, getting to be out with her 'men'

Palo, be sure to go to the Canteen thread today...it has lots and lots of grand pictures of Arizona...

When BigDom and I get into our retirement mode, and trek out to Arizona to visit the Palo household, we are going to throw Palo, and Bill, and Happy and Lulu into the RV with us, and tour around seeing the sights...The Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, the desert, it all sounds wonderful...

We will have to build a special throne for Miss Lulu to sit on...

[palo verde]

hi loddy
the book I am reading is
''Into Thin Air''
by Jon Krakauer
he grew up in Seattle, may still live there now
he was a climbing bum in his youth, supported himself by working on salmon boats and carpentry
now he is a writer
I am surprised how many of the other members of the expedition were doctors tho
(altho one worked for the post office)
reading this book convinces me too not to have desire to climb Mt Everest
the book is intense and passionate (well written) cause trouble occurred on his expedition
and he wrote the book to gain understanding
Love, Palo

[lodwick]

That's the book - thanks!
It get's bad, very bad
before Jon gets back home.

[andysandmikesmom]

BigDom is up, fed, and happy....a good start...

He is going to clean out the gutters today....then if he has time, he is going to weed whack...sounds like fun...its just an excuse to get all heated up and worn out, and in dire need of a beer...

I dont even have to cook today....he is going over to 'Luckys' a local pub, and ordering a couple orders of broasted chicken, and jo-jo potatoes...of course, he will have a couple of cold draft beers while waiting for the chicken to get done...then he will come home, and we will have our chix and jos and beer...

There is so much racket going on out in front today...a few days ago, the county work trucks came through, and were patching up the road here in our little community....we thought they were done, as they were here all day long on I think Thursday, but no, they are here again today, with loud trucks, and such....

Now, it just seems to us that the workers are getting paid time and a half for working on Saturday...and since patching this road is not an emergency, I cannot understand why the county would be making the workers work on a Saturday, and then pay them time and a half...after all, that is my tax money paying for this, and I really dont like it...I may just have to complain or at least find out the facts....

Loddy, you just know how to make me and Palo swoon, with pics of the noble basset hound....

Palo, many of the folks that climb Mt. Everest, do seem to have a close connection with the Seattle-Western Washington area....many of the climbers who go up to Everest, do practice on Mt. Rainier, which is of course, ,not as tall as Everest, but does indeed, cloak itself with all the hidden dangers, and extreme conditions that can be found on Everest...many people have died, trying to reach the summit of Mt. Rainier....If you go to the Jackson Visitor Center, at Mt Rainier Park, they have many pics of different expeditions, and people who went up Rainier, and died trying...many, if not most of those bodies have never been recovered, because the conditions for trying to retreive them are way to dangerous for rescuers...and their families say, that being as their deceased loved ones so loved mountain climbing, that is appropriate for them to have Mt. Rainier as their final resting place...

So, often its just kind of eerie, when looking at Mt. Rainier, from afar, like down here in Olympia, or looking at it close up, when you are in the park, to realize that when you are looking at it, there are many mountain climbers buried up there somewhere beneath the snow...

[palo verde]

hi loddy
thank you for wonderful basset pic
andysmom and I are both basset addicts
Bill found this book in library, took it out and read it, recommended it to me
seems many climbers went to Heaven on that expedition and Jon feels guilty
wondering if there was more he could have done to help
(I have not reached any of this, they are still at Base Camp where I am)
Bill got caught up in Jon's dilemma and kept saying Jon did everything he could
I have enuf experience under my belt to know that death always makes everyone feel guilty
I dont have to climb mt everest to learn that
I am enjoying the book as an incredible adventure in part of world I have never been to
as andysmom said most of the serious climbers mentioned in the book live in the Seattle area
and now I feel so close to Seattle cause of andysmom, westy, and hairofthedog
Jon paints bleak ''evil'' pic of Mt Everest as killer mountain
but the natives call it Mountain of the Gods
and Mountain of our Mother
I think Jon was hurt by his experience and it colors the story
Love, Palo

[palo verde]

Bill said the two dogs were so excited when he took them to park today
they pulled so hard when they got out of car
he fell on his face
then Lulu went to bathroom and he was embarrassed he ran fast away
cause there are lots of people in that park
behind the park is desert wash, where he attached the two leashes together and the two happy dogs had a ball together

the pool where we swim is in that park
so when we drove into the parking lot this afternoon
Bill said ''I was just here with Happy''
''with Lulu too'' I said
'o I forgot'' he said

when we got back from swimming all the cats (the 3 adults and kitten) were culed up together in frontyard padded lawn chair
it was sight for sore eyes
Love, Palo

[andysandmikesmom]

Poor Bill, falling flat on his face, pulled down by two exhuberant doggies...But I just know, Miss Lulu sure loved that fact that her 'dad' and her 'brother' allowed her to participate in their walk today....she got special treatment..

[palo verde]

Lulu was in 7th heaven
it made me so happy to see


I found this posted bout the UFO
it is from radio station WTOP
I copied most of it
link is here

http://wtopnews.com/news/newsdetail.cfm?newsid=584517


WTOP has learned that residents near Andrews Air Force base were shaken from their beds early Friday morning by some strange activity in the air.

''Incredible. Absolutely incredible'' is what Renny Rogers of Waldorf calls it. Just before two in the morning, Rogers says he saw a large blue ball of light streaking across the sky. But it was the military jets that really startled him.

''(The jets) were right on its tail. As the thing would move, a jet was right behind it,'' Rogers recalls.

He is not the only one who saw it. Several people called WTOP Radio reporting seeing a bright blue or orange ball moving very fast, being chased by jets.

Rogers says there was no smoke coming from the object, no flashing lights, and says it was smooth, and eerily silent.

The Air National Guard confirms they scrambled the 113th squadron

[palo verde]

they trampled Bill getting out of car
and they trampled his glasses in the car
then they pulled him flat on his face

I bet it was worth it to him to see their joy
Happy prolly likes having Lulu with him
makes it more fun

[andysandmikesmom]

I wonder what it was up there in the night sky...the article does not say...just that lots of folks saw something, and the military planes did chase it...but if they really found out what it was they would tell us...when they dont know what it is, they just leave us to wonder....

That must have been a grand sight, to see two excited doggies, trampling their daddy...I bet Happy was glad to have Lulu with...they love each other, so he was glad to have his sweet companion with him on his walkie...
