Thanks for your cooperation.

only if you divide nothing by nothing.

If you divide something by nothing then you have what you had.

Wow... I haven't seen that term since I read Alas Babylon...

[Monkey Face]

My version needs dusting.

LOL! I think I need a backhoe for mine... 'Night, Sis!

[Monkey Face]

I thought you had to work on Fridays???

There are several movies I want to see, but as usual, I'll wait for the DVD and just buy them. That would be one, though...;o]

My girls played the "Laura Croft: Tombraider" game on the Playstation.

Part of it was a training mode, you learned how to make the character walk, run climb, swim ... all through a big house and grounds.

I liked exploring the house. It even had an attic.

There were problems of scale in the rendering. If Laura climbed through the kitchen window, she ended up in the sink. But it was as big as a swimming pool!

Carefully constructed, a game system based on our set-up would offer quite a world to explore. And if you wanted adventure, you could go into the lower levels!


Back in a bit ...

Pat Frank.

Very good book. Juuuust a little dated now. (Welcome aboard.)

I took today off.

I've got seven (now six) vacation days left, on a "use it or lose it" situation. Using two days Christmas week gives me the whole week off. Although I am caught up on my work (for the first time this year), there is a project with occasional meetings that means I have to be in the office some days the next couple of weeks. So I'll take what I can when I can...

[Monkey Face]

See? This would be a good thing for someone to make. I wish I had the education to do that...how much fun would it be to actually walk in the vineyards or check out the forges? And what about seeing the zombies at work, driven mercilessly by the terrible dust bunnies?

[TASMANIANRED]

Depends on which side of the black hole you are on.

[Monkey Face]

WOO-HOO!!!

I like days off! I wish I was working so I could have some. This way, I have all day to do nothing, and when I get tired of doing that, I can lie down and take a nap. Not too much fun there, by any means...kinda...well...boring.

[TASMANIANRED]

I'm looking for something sarcastically insightful.

Haven't found the proper combination of pith and vinegar.

[TASMANIANRED]

Where is it playing?

[TASMANIANRED]

Santa always knows.


My girls have been squabbling over who gets the royal blue sweater and who gets navy.

[TASMANIANRED]

I'm hoping it holds off until March again.

We had our first dusting yesterday.

[Monkey Face]

I had a cat named Pith and Vinegar...we called him PV for short, because most folks misheard us...;o]

[Axenolith]

Aboard? This thread?

BTW, interesting home page, I'll have to peruse it in depth!

The good thing about rain is that you don't have to shovel it.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Very good book. Juuuust a little dated now.

The Cold War setting is but the ideas and ideals are still, I believe, sound. I always liked it for the two major differences between it and other future history/apocalyptic fiction books.

The first was that we won. That was a major change from the majority of books.

The second was that civilization was not wiped out. There seems to be a common thread in those books that if you just wipe out a few major cities the whole kit and caboodle falls apart.

I can only assume that the majority of them are written by city dwellers.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I prefer the outside.

Although I do admit to a bit of curiosity about the inside.

[TASMANIANRED]

I can cash in the ones I don't use...
