Can't beat that! Enjoy! :-)
Whatta world.
Thank you, and good morning, LadyX.
Look at what I just posted, that comes after your comment!
Read his description - makes you pause and delight in what words can convey, does it not?
Absolutely whets the appetite for more..:))
Beautiful, thanks !
Actually, I am laughing at myself.
In sending an e-mail to a friend with the URL's for the website in Fairbanks, I had never gone to the Home Page.
There are a lot of links there to explore!
This gives me the opportunity to provide a better reference:
Home Page is: Click Here

The Live Cam is: Right Here

I do hope to see the blimp as it passes back and forth from its home base.
Incredibly beautiful day...no ice fog here!
LOL. I guess so. Very quiet in here today.
I'm enjoying the Alaska webcam, thanks for the link. Beautiful pictures! I'm a desert rat though and thankful that the Good Lord has not chosen to plant me in Alaska. I wouldn't survive the winter.
Born in Miami - lived in Coral Gables until I was 9 1/2 - then Melbourne, halfway up the coast.
(Brevard County - Cape Canaveral country)
In later years, lived in Port Malabar, Ft. Pierce and Panama City.
God wisely transitioned me with a year and 2 days in Rapid City, South Dakota, though, so it would be 'easier'..:))
Actually reached the point psychologically where my thought was "If it will just get up to ZERO - everything will be all right.
Scary, eh?
LOL
Of course, I'm going to miss you all, but I'll stop in here whenever I can to say hello and get my freepmail. I know of a internet location right near where the ship docks in Puerto Vallarta and that will be my very first stop in that port. (I know all the best internet places in all the ports on this itinerary. It will almost be like I am not gone at all.) :-)
Happy Super Bowl Sunday to you!
Well, I know for a fact that this California bear wouldn't be caught dead in Alaska unless it was July and there was a cruise ship nearby. LOL!!
Actually, the parts of Alaska I have seen are so beautiful and I admire the pioneer spirit of the rugged people who live there. Maybe when I was much younger I could have made my home there. Especially in Ketchikan, one of my favorite places.
Creek Street, Ketchikan
It's so cool that you'll be able to visit with us in Freeperville while on your adventure...ain't life grand?
Today, the sea is very blue...just watched the U.S. Navy pass by, a ship on its way north, cutting through the middle of a group of sailboats...beautiful sight...love that battleship gray...it was just a small ship, but anything Navy is a thing of beauty.
Cheers to you...)
The ice fog reminds me of a situation we had when we lived in Spokane.
Sub-freezing temperatures and high humidity created a winter wonderland of frost on everything. We had a big white birch tree in our front yard. The frost clung to every hanging twig and branch and with a streetlight acting as backlight, I snapped some beautiful slides in the late night hours.
I don't have a slide adapter for my scanner, otherwise I would post a pic. How about I just hold the slide up to the monitor?!?
During one of these "Frosty times" a friend who lived down the street stepped outside one night and saw all this glistening stuff in the street. She, a Southern California woman, had never experience frosty cold winters. She got out her broom and dust pan and began to sweep up all that "broken glass" that was shining in the street. She took it inside to show her husband and the glass melted before her eyes. :)
I was enjoying the Super bowl probably as y'all are right now until my husband received this email garbage a few minutes ago. To give you a little background information, my husband is an administrator (maintains email database, provides message board and guest book, etc.) of a website that is dedicated to a certain Brigade that he served with in Vietnam.
Sender of the email is targeting a lot of the members listed in the email database. Needless to say, I cannot stand by and do nothing. Since I respect FReepers like you and a lot of others on this thread, I've decided that this is the best place to come for advice.
Other than sending him/her/it a 'fitting' email-- which I shall shortly do-- what else can I do? Any ideas or advice? I know and have verified the sender's email address, but not sure if I can post it on FR.
Thank you in advance, Mama_Bear.
(Below is its Spam email word for word that I copy/pasted with permission.)
I don't know what Jane Fonda did in Vietnam during her visit to see the P.O.W.S. in the camps, but I suspect that some of these anti-Jane anecdotes are fabricated. I do know that Jane Fonda is a Hero for nobly opposing this U.S. War of Imperialist aggression against the Vietnamese people, and that her actions helped to shorten the War, therefore saving thousands of American and Vietnamese lives in the long run.The real traitors were the rich pigs on Wall Street and in Washington who sent tens of thousands of poor American kids to die in rice paddies so they could rip off the people of the Third World. The Vietnamese bravely fought for years against the Japanese, the French and then the Americans in a noble fight for National Independence and Ho Chi Minh was the George Washington of that Country.
The United States has invaded more countries than any other Country in history. Our government has invaded virtually every Latin American country at least once. In fact, our government is, even now, planning to invade and commit genocide on the people of Iraq, even though that country never did anything against us. We need more Jane Fonda's and less Republican rednecks. Jane, where are you? America needs you.
((end of garbage))
Well? (I want this person to taste what it's like to receive full strength FReeper wrath in return!)
