reading books on Dracula can be enchanting and very distracting!
I did that a while with the Stoker and some of Anne Rice...
I am so entice by anything in a historical setting so novels always seem to be inviting to me!

That is some view to ponder Westy What must have broken away and gone out to sea!
Tet those are young trees so maybe it is something that has just taken place there in the 25-30 years!

Grand Canyon to Get Glass-Bottomed Walk Fri Aug 26,12:23 AM ET
Great views — and plenty of goosebumps for those afraid of heights.
An American Indian tribe with land along the Grand Canyon is planning to build a glass-bottomed walkway that will jut out 70 feet from the canyon's edge.
The horseshoe-shaped skywalk, expected to open in January, is part of the Hualapai Tribe's $40 million effort to turn 1,000 acres of reservation land into a tourist destination that will also feature an Indian village and Western-themed town.
The tribe's reservation is some 200 miles by road to the west of the section of the Grand Canyon National Park that most tourists visit.
The walkway, with a glass bottom and sides, will be supported by steel beams and will accommodate 120 people, though it is designed to hold 72 million pounds, said Sheri Yellowhawk, chief executive officer of the Grand Canyon Resort Corp., the tribal-owned company that is overseeing the project.
"You're basically looking 4,000 feet down. It's a whole new way to experience the Grand Canyon," Yellowhawk said.
Admission will be $25. The project is still seeking an insurer, said architect David Jin, who said he came up with the skywalk idea while visiting the canyon in 1996.
Darn good place to hang someone upside down...
Swervie isn't banned. Hopefully he's not bored; he's with me, and I'm not giving him back for at least 2 more weeks. I'll tell him ya'll were asking about him. ;o)

Can you imagine if there was a crack and you could not get off fast enough?
Does this mean price in all areas will be coming down?

My other case made my day, though. The mom really appreciated me taking her down to spend time with her baby in neo natal ICU What a precious little girl. Kinda took the edge of the nasty b*tch with the attitude.

What more could one ask to finish an evening with...
She needs to ware a hat is that to keep the body heat?
I hear that it was chaos at the office again today. We're all joking (well, only HALF joking really) about needing "P pills" (P, for her initial), since at least one of my coworkers got put on Xanax to deal with the stress resulting from having to put up with her crap. Fortunately, I already had P pills. I just hope they can get rid of this dingbat before something really serious happens as a result of her incompetence.
Did somebody say clones??? I need a couple! Maybe if I had two clones, I could actually get some sleep.
When prices go down that is a recession?
Its all confusing to me I just never took the time to figure out recession, depression, inflation etc!
Its almost like computer talk
When your loged in, it say log out, when you are loged out it says log in!
Thank you,Darlin'. Yes, it is very quiet without him. I still expect to hear him meow when I open the door in the evening, and I feel guilty whenever I drain a can of tuna in the sink. It's supposed to go in the cat food dish. I'm staying really busy, which I suppose is good. Keeps me from thinking about it too much.
How are things down there? Katrina is dancing perilously close to you, isn't she?
