just ignore and let this one die

Well- here is a looksie at my little Bridge Project... Damien and Amara pose for pix



And from the other side:

The fishies are swimming properly, there is a little waterspout in the middle with a light mist and the moss covered rock on the bank hides little crickets serenading you as u walk past. I wd like to add some bird critters but don't know how to make them yet

you've become quite the little builder. nice work, Amar.

Ummm, no.... That's kinda disgusting! At minimum, it must have mayo, celery, pickle relish...

And we just call 'em "tuna sandwiches" here.

Stage 6 of the Tour of California was a 15mile (24km) hilly time trial in Solvang. Some of the biggest names in cycling were there including 7 time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong and last year's Tour de France winner Carlos Sastre.

The time trial is a race against the clock. Each cyclist rides alone, starting at one minute intervals in reverse order of their current standing in the Tour with Levi Leipheimer, the current Tour leader going last.

And for the third year in a row Leipheimer (a U.S. rider with the Kazakhstan team, Astana) won the stage 6 time trial.

1. Levi Leipheimer (USA) 30min 40sec
2. David Zabriskie (USA) 30min 48sec
3. Gustave Larsson (Sweden) 30min 57sec

Good morning, threadies - the weekend's here!

@Amara...you've been a busy lady, missy. The bridge/pond/fishies are incredible. Oh! Which reminds me now to go take a look-see at your candles.

@Kaimi...thanks for the update. It was a good day yesterday! And Solvang's an interesting little town, isn't it? Plunked in the middle of NOWHERE, hot as heck in the summer...and founded by Swedes.

Enjoy a weekend breakfast, and enjoy your day! I hope I see you inworld.

@Tod... My heart goes out to her.

Good Morning Mo, and Happy Rez Day

OK, so ever since I came upon a parcel where this song was being played yesterday, I've been laughing about it. It's just hilarious.

In case you have not seen this post - the Jira mentioned is interesting and, if correct, could explain a lot about why SL performance is only really really bad at some places.

And a cute funny, before I pop off to take care of some RL crud.

OMG- I now am playing them all - lol! It's a no-no teasing him! hahaha

is there anything that explains why this forum has gone to the crapper lately? is there a place to vote to get it fixed?

Gunther is Sweden's greatest export.

cuz LL does NOT give a crap

Ya, so it looks like I'm gonna be doing someting for my rezday after all. A live Keiko show around 4:00 p.m. SLT, an maybe another act afters if I can find another good performer or DJ. Oh, an prob'ly fireworks too.

Interesting list. Last time I questioned something in a list I may have sparked the tuna vs. tuna-fish discussion. It's funny how the oddest things gather attention in a thread like this.

Anyway, here I go again.
"Everything on your face stays its original color. "
I don't get this one. In some circles I'm known as "Greybeard". It certainly didn't start out this color. Everything else on the list seemed spot on.

Good night dear Thread

/me wraps a warm blankie around the Thread and kisses it goodnight - and good morning

/me is very happy and loves Thread and Threadies... sweet dreams all

Happy Rez Day Maureen! I wish I could have come to your party. I'm sure everyone had a great time.

Stage 7, today, at the Tour of California was 88.9 miles from Santa Clarita to Pasadena.

It was aggressive from the start with attack after attack. Eventually a break was established containing ten riders. The break made it over the climb of Millcreek Summit, the second highest point on the Tour at 4905 feet.

After a rapid technical descent into Pasadena, the break began to attack itself as rider after rider attempted to get away on the five-mile circuit around the Rose Bowl stadium. Finally three men opened up a gap that proved to be the winning move. The trio dueled to the finish with Italian Rinaldo Nocentini of team AG2R crossing the line first.



I was in Pasadena near the finish line. It was extremely exciting. The riders were so fast they were a blur going past but on two of the 5 circuits I saw my favorite rider, George Hincapie, clear as anything for and instant, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!!


This is from a video I made of the peleton whooshing past. I was close enough to reach out and touch them! This is Lance Armstrong in the yellow helmet and blue jersey, closest to the camera, and two time Tour of California winner and current Tour leader Levi Leipheimer in the yellow jersey and blue shorts.


From behind the awards stage:

Good morning/afternoon/evening, Threadies.

This breakfast looks yummy...but it's missing a few items:
