It's act like a caveman/woman day...sounds like a fun thing to do....at least if we were on Bonaire we could visit the caves and inscriptions....
I must say I was suprised to not see any sunsets posted on the community chat....glad we can go back and forth to the web cams....where was everyone.....?????

Good Morning to all of you.

Hi Meryl! Tell me about the caves on Bonaire?! All limestone like Florida?

Hi Kay! Hey Kay, do you think you could just stay there at Jake's and take pix of the sunsets every evening for the fans at home?

Hey, Mr. Bill - it's your big day. Yaba-daba-dooooo!

Morning Meryl, Kay and Rusty. Hope you all have a good one. Annie B.

Hi Annie! How are things out your way?

Fish tales.

Finally! The day when I don't have to explain myself!!

However it is more like

Dreaming about


My alter ego will fix it all!!

Have a great day all you cavepeople! (and you KNOW who you are!)

Cheers,

Bill

Who's for lunch! Annie B.

Off to work now. See you later. Annie B.

Where is everyone today?

I was out gathering while BoxerBob was inventing fire!

These fish sure like to get their butts photographed.

Hey Rusty,

Did boxerbob take out a patent on his unique way of creating fire? Seems to be quiet today. Maybe people are feeling guilty that the weekend is approaching and they haven't done a stick of work all week!!

Not me though

Has Freddie left the planet?

Bill

Arrrgh!!

Gotta go! The ISP seems to be pushing "bits n Bytes" through a garden hose today. Sloooooowwww!

I'll try later,

See ya.

Bonairean Moonfishes! LOL Hi Glenn!


It's not only DAY...

It's also Pipe Dreams Day

During the 1800s, opium was heavily imported to Europe from Asia. This hallucinogenic drug wasn't illegal at that time and was widely used in some literary circles in England. The opium was smoked in a pipe and usually produced strange visions. The creative writers called these visions "pipe dreams". Today the term is used for farfetched ideas that probably aren't going to happen.

TODAY'S TRIVIA:

1814 - George Stephenson introduced the 1st steam locomotive

1850 - Gold discovered in Oregon (Rogue River)

1946 - The U.S. detonated an atomic bomb at Bikini Atoll in the Pacific. It was the first underwater test of the device.

1969 - 1st performance of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

1975 - "A Chorus Line," premieres (longest-running Broadway show)

Almost looks like he's wearing knee-high socks.

Busy morning on cam today!

They're even hanging from the rafters!

just a quick peek before I go to another cave to clean!!!! How is everyone?? I miss you all soooo much!!!!!

Freddie! Hello, Cavewoman! I was just thinking that the one good thing about winter coming is that you'll be back on the Chat board with us. I've been in and out all day - the weather sure is pleasant - sunny and in the 70s!

hey guys....lots of work around the cave today...realtors ...repairmen....blah blah blah...Not sure if the caves on Bonaire are Limestone...Bas...are ya out there....I'm sure he's the expert we need.....But they do have some great indian inscriptions...There is suppose to be a cavern with a waterfall.. We couldn't find it last time we were there..maybe in Nov....Well I'm off to work..more hunting and gathering...hope we get some sunsets this evening... Freddie..your working to hard!!!!

Back for a few... Rusty I can't wait for the cold dark days of winter!!! But I do have a great tan!!!! wish it would last!!! I just have to walk outside to get tan, I hardly ever burn anymore..don't have the time to sit in the sun to fry I would suppose!!! You know us REDHEADS!!!
Meryl, I am the proud owner of the first two eggs of the flock!!! I think they were laid today but I marked them and left them for a hint to the other chickens!!! Soon I will be taking EGGS AND ZUCCHINI around in the middle of the night to unsuppecting souls!!!
I have been working just about every day with the high maintance people. They had a party for 25 last weekend that I catered and got all kinds of raves from,,,I still don't cook!! :-} {Actually couldn't have done it without help from LYN!!!!}
the way I look at it, it is only for about 10 weeks out of the year that I do this, except now it is getting in the way of my BTing!!!!! I hate when that happens..

I see the jewels are starting, that must mean it is getting close to wogga wogga hour. Thank the Good Lord!!!!

and Butch Wax was a predecessor to hair gel.. The GUYs would get these BUTCH cuts that they would WAX so it would stand up strait in the front and on top , kind of like a FLAT TOP

Found another great animation page - if you like those puppies with big sad eyes on velvet paintings. LOL It's Kitty Roach's artwork and she is talented and prolific...

http://www.snowcrest.com/kitty/hpages/ani1.html
