Reminds me of one of my original jokes. (Have you ever thought about who spends time thinking up jokes?) Anyway ...
Adam was strolling down a wide path in the Garden of Eden when he happened upon Elephant for the very first time. They paused and stared at each other for a long awkward moment.
Finally, Elephant said, "How in the world can you breathe through that?"
With a mini Lump trap.
Ahhhhh, yes. Somewhere around, HERE:

[Requires MS Virtual Earth, but you’ll like it. Trust me.]
No problem. First you laugh and then you think in reverse.
BTW, when you hit that link I posted, you’ll first have to scroll to zoom out. Go ‘til the bar at lower right shows about 4 yards. Then, position your cursor mid-image, press/hold CTRL+RMB, and drag down.
As I said before, I think you’ll like the results.
Totally dead issue right out of the chute. This machine runs Linux, not Windows. Anything Windows-centric (or Apple-centric), well, just count me in the audience left behind.
Not that I am sorry to be left behind; after all I gave up cable TV way back in 1990. I figure if folks REALLY want me to see their message, they'll bring it to me. Otherwise, they're just selling something else and I'm not buying.
I think MS Virtual Earth is written in JAVA. U do JAVA?
Allowed SitesI quit at that point. The work machine is XP SP2, but everything in this house is Win2K, Win98SE, or Linux.If the install process does not proceed automatically, Click Here to download the Setup program which you can then manually run. You will have to restart the browser after the installation is complete.
Please review the system requirements for Virtual Earth 3D. Increased performance will be noted on more powerful systems.
System requirements:
* Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, or the Windows Vista operating system.
...
Java wasn't even mentioned, though the latest Firefox upgrades seem to be incompatible with the installed "Java Console."
Machts nichts. If it doesn't run on my machine, I'm clearly not in their target audience and I'm not going to waste time pretending I am. [grump off]
Not on for much longer tonight...
I didn’t download it either, just cause I didn’t want to.
Gotcha.
Well, the viewpoint I captured was from a small turnout — a vista point — on the west side of Hwy 97, just south of a blip in the road named “Grass Lake”.
If it's the one I'm thinking of, the goodwife met a fellow CT Yankee there, he there to fight fires on a busman's holiday.
Good night, all.
G’night.
Don’t forget to leave the trail of crumbs out for us.
Here ‘tis in Google Maps:

Last night on the “Acetone” thread?
End of the month. Traditionally, time to move to a new thread. We’ll see, though. We’ve stayed on for two or three months, in the past, when the post count didn’t get too high.
Time to close shop for the night.
Catch y’all tomorrow.
Good Night!
Time for bed....
Good Night!
Good Morning!
Good morning. We’re going to the library shortly. I’ll get another set up Harry Potter tapes. Maybe that will be enough motivation to start running again.
