Good Morning! Joel has to leave early today, client golf tournament today. And it is a day closer until the new cam goes in .

I hope everyone is feeling well today.

That was my short visit this morning! I wish all a great day!

Morning Eileen, but I fear you're already away :o(
Quite grey on Bonaire this morning, but I am sure it will soon improve.
I am busy with home work and I have a lot to do ( 15 days I couldn't care of the home as I should ).
is served, even if it's lunch time here :o)
Have a nice day.

Good Morning Eileen and Martine,

Eileen, got the pics, just beautiful!!!
Martine, how are you feeling?

And hello to all who will come later.

Have a great day!!

Good morning all.

Have some coffee.

Martine, Did you find the Paris Starbucks yet?

Morning Elvira and John,
I am fine, thanks, just enjoying my last week of holidays.
No, I didn't look for Starbucks yet :o(
Eileen, I got the pics too. So cute. How strange, I had my baptism on june 12th...
Back to home work :o(

Hi everyone. Glad you are feeling better Martine.
Eileen. Thank you for the pictures.
Elvira. I have your red eye today. Broken blood vessel in my right eye. It looks very pretty (NOT)
John. Thanks for the coffee. A new place down the road from me has opened serving up Krispy Kremes, but I don't like them LOL. Annie B.

Hey Annette, One Krispy Kreme has a day fat grams.

Martine, Your nearest Starbucks store is at 70 Boulevard du Montparnasse. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Wow, John, you just cracked me up ! Thank you, I'll go there very soon :o)
Hi Annie, not cracking for ice creams ???

Goodness me. You found a shop close to Martine for Starbucks. LMHO. Annie B.

Martine sign in when you take a break.

Action at the gate

Annie, hope your eye gets better and since there is no prescription for it, it will heal by itself. I did do what you had suggested. My eye is ok now.

Krispy Kreme they are sooo good!!!

Martine, enjoy your days off and Strabucks!

Martine, I meant "Starbucks" !!!!

Good Morning everyone,

It may be a cloudy morning, but you know what they say. "A cloudy day in Bonaire is better than... (fill in your own)"

Annie: your question from yesterday. DCS is decompression sickness, it is when nitrogen bubbles form in the blood or other tissues as a result of staying too long at depth or coming up to fast. I have oversimplified the answer, but if you really want to know, a web search will give you more than enough information.

Martine, glad you are feeling better. Rest and good coffee are a good remedy.

Good morning all! Guess everyone is over here for awhile...CC seems to be a lonely place these days.....
Glad to see we still have the other cams up and running for a bit!
Cynde can you email me at Steve's email address..
Drstevestu@hotmail.com

Kevin. Ah ha, that's it, thanks. I just couldn't think what it was last night. LOL. Annie B.

Hi Meryl.

Morning Annie!....I am glad to see that the web site is still up and running...I thought it was going to go down with the cams....Do you know if there will be a break in the BT page?

Hi Meryl,

I think I recall Jake saying all the cams were going down around the 20 something of June and the server was being moved too. So I guess we will all be jonesing for a day or two until he has it back on line.

The Bonaire WebCams Web site (which resides on servers in Massachusetts) will continue to be operational, but sans live images during the two weeks or so that we are moving hardware on Bonaire. Archives of images prior to the Dark Date of June 20th will be accessible as well.

The BonaireTalk site, also hosted in Mass., will be unaffected other than that folks used to posting WebCams pics over the course of the day will have no such pics to post for a couple of weeks (and no, please don't find substitutes to post here - if you have an urgent need to post family-friendly, non-copyrighted pics, do so in Community Chat :-) ).

Jake

Thanks for the reminder Jake.

Morning Kev, Thanks Jake!

Good morning everyone! Just getting into this board now that I'm ruined by Bonaire. 8ft vis here just isn't cutting it. Got the day off so I'm gonna brave the muck and get wet. Have a great day all, and don't sweat the small stuff.

OH MY GOSH. I got it mostly right. Nice to know my memory is still somewhat intact.

Thanks Jake ! By the way, checks in the mail

Oh yeah, HEY JAKE, The Webcams home page has the blue screen from the reefcam on it. Any way to move say, the South Beach Cam over to it?

In a few minutes ORANGE Guys are playing vs GERMANY. Must be quite crowed at Karel's... Good memories for me ( Euro 2000 in Bonaire }
Well, today I will support the Dutchies, unfortunately there is no Amstel here :o)
Martin, Diana, Sjoss, could you send a virtual one ?
Have a nice evening ! Dinner time here.

Good morning, everyone!

Really, John, if you want to send someone for coffee, you should at least send them to Seattle's Best. Granted it is now owned by Starbucks, but, at least, they've kept the same formula.

Not only is it quiet on CC, its quiet on the cams. Nothing but blue sky, blue sea, and dry pavement.

I wish I could see the game-two of my favorite teams. I will go for the Orange guys!!!!
Let me know what's the score!!

Hi Dan, I guess you sent your msg and I was typing mine. It is rather quite!!!

Good morning, Elvira! Maybe its siesta time in Bon.

Siesta ??? Nope, they are all watching the match ;o)
It has started ...

I agree w/Martine - no siesta they are watching the match, two very good teams are playing!!!

Aaaarrrgh ! One goal for Germany :o(

Just rub it in Martine

sjossss

Yep ! A lot of time remaining... Where is Kluivert ?

Probably speeding at the boulevard pheriperique

sjosss

pfwwww , half time .

First time over : Germany 1 Holland 0
Come on guys, let's go, you know you can make it :o) ! We are all with you...

Holland will score on the 2nd half - Go Holland!!

OK, I'M GOING THROUGH EARLY BWC WITHDRAWL!!! I searched the archives for pics on the 3 cams the last 2 hours...and all I can say is folks that are diving down there must have GREAT vis, as there is hardly any surf showing...it's FLAT! That also means it must be hot...no wind

boat...


looks like a leaf or something...


more...


Martine, we need some panos of Indians and gremlins!

Sorry folks, just having a major BWC withdrawl attack!

Oh, I haven't had time to read all the chatter, but Go Holland!

Ha Elvira ! Te gusta futefol :o)

OK for panos, Cynde, but after the GAME !

OMG !!!!
the clouds in the sunset outside my office are orange !!!
Is that an omen or what !!!


sjoske

OK, we are going on a reefcam virtual dive...

tangs...


tweety


WE MISS YOU CHARLOTTE!!!!


And the coney right below the camera...

Second Half have started. "Mechanical Oranges" are willing to win :o)
Come on, Sjoske !

Cynde - thanks for posting some fish pics - I too am going though bad BWC withdrawal!!!

Very busy day for me - work and other - I was involved in a hit and run accident last night!!!! The guy hit my from behind as I was turning left into my neighborhood!!!! Never stopped!!! I am okay - but I do not think the Miata will make it - will find out soon from the body shop!!! Today I am a bit sore around the shoulders and neck - but nothing bad - it could have been worse - since the Miata really offers no protection!!!

BTW - go ORANGE!!! Jos - I like the clouds omen!!!

Someone has come to say to Mandy!!!

Mary....not the Miata!!!!!! I'm glad to hear that you are ok!!!!! Hope they catch the JERK!!!!

Well, I'm outta here for today.....see you all on thursday!

LaDonna

Mary, I am glad to hear you are OK. Must have been a great stress...
Germany still leading !

Woowee !!!! Holland 1 - Germany 1 !!!!

Mary, sorry to hear about the accident. Glad that you are ok. Hope they can catch the person.

Martine, si me gusta mucho el futbol.

I knew Holland will score!!

Cynde, thanks for posting the pics!!!

LaDonna, good nigh/buenas noches.

A second goal for Holland is boiling :o) Pfff, what a pressure !

Go Holland-Yeah

See Elvira, empataran !

Game nearly over...

Game over ! Holland 1 - Germany 1 Very good game :o)

Mary, glad you are OK, sorry about the car...that is surley a bummer...and the jerk that just left...

One more...

Martine. You are crackin' me up here. This is better than watching the match. LMHO.

Cynde. I have PBWCD too. How will we survive. Annie B.

Good night LaDonna!!!!

Wow what a game!!!!

Mary. Sorry to hear about your accident, but glad that you were not hurt. Pity you didn't get his registration No. Annie B.

Pretty in pink

Martine, thanks for the update, I felt like I was watching the game. It must have been a pretty good game.

Hasta la vista everyone, see you tomorrow in the A.M.

Cynde - the Jerk never stopped!!! I could have been dead in the car for all he knew!!! The lady behind him in a truck took off after him to try to catch him!!! She chased him into a neighborhood - where he ditched the car and ran in to woods behind a house - got the license plate number - however does not appear to have written something down correctly - also it was a Texas plate!!! When the police called it in - it was not in the system. She came back and picked up some of the construction workers that had come over to help me and they tried to catch him before he left - but by the time they got there - he had gone!! Do not know if they will catch him!!!

I had to laugh after a while though - it is amazing how many men will stop and ask if you are okay and offer to help you. I guess it looks pitiful - a women standing on the side of a raid next to a wrecked car!!! I even had a guy in a Jeep offer to pull the car out of the ditch!!!

Quite an exciting evening!!! Everyone in the neighborhood heard the crash - except my hubby - who was even outside at the time. I had to get a neighbor who drove up - go get him - since he did not hear anything and was not answering the phone!!!

Mary, your car ended up in a ditch? I didn't realize it was that bad of an accident! Yikes! I hope they catch the guy! I wonder if he was on drugs or drunk...that's why he ran...

Goodness me Mary, it all sounds very traumatic. I'll bet the car was stolen. Annie B.

Neighbours going in for their daily swim.

Yup - he hit me on th back right panel - tore off the bumper - spun me around - until I landed in the ditch with my bumper about 30 feet away from the car!!! He had to be doing something to not stop and at least see if I was okay!!

The lady that ran after him was furious!!! She saw him come up on me and not slow down - thinking all along that he was going to hit me. I was turning left and he came up from behind me traveling the same direction!!!

Mary - glad you're okay!

Kevin - good suggestion about the BWC home page - I've replaced the ReefCam blue box with a shot from the North BeachCam.

Jake

Jake - nice view with the north beach cam on the home page - Kevin - great idea!!!

Gosh Mary, that sounds pretty scary, esp. after your detailed description!! I hope they find the guy. I'm glad you're okay, that's most important. Cars can be replaced, people can't.

Great idea on changing the view Kevin!! Thanks Jake!!!

Hey, how come I still have a blue box and not the North Beach cam???? Cleared my cache and all

It is so flat, amazing!

Cynde. Are you looking at the reef cam page, or the home page. Annie B.

Annie, home page and reefcam page have the blue box!

oower Cynde that is strange. I have no idea why you are seeing the blue box on the home page. Have you tried clicking out of Bonaire and then getting it back up again? Annie B.

Mary, sorry to hear about the accident. The hit and run makes me so angry. I had one over a year ago. I hope you feel better soon. Are you going to see a massage therapist!

Martine, that is amazing that the dates are so close! Thank-you all for your wishes, some of you did not receive pics, mailboxes full? and I do not have some email addresses either (I am not avoiding anyone).

I guess I will not mention that I am cheering for Germany.....

Yup

OMG, we just had a small earthquake here...I was in a conference room and the whole table shook and the monitor shook...this is the biggest one I have felt in this building...looking up now how big it was...we are all running around blabbing on and on!!!

OK, 4.7...7 miles from Edwards Airforce Base out in the desert. My brother-in-law works out there...hope he is OK!

http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Quakes/ci14065544.htm

Cynde...I didn't feel it, we are too far north of you but I went on line and found out the following:
A moderate earthquake occurred at 3:28:48 PM (PDT) on Tuesday, June 15, 2004.
The magnitude 5.1 event occurred 84 km (52 miles) WSW of Rosarito, Baja California, Mexico.
The hypocentral depth is 15 km ( 9 miles).

My goodness, Cynde. I am glad you are ok. and hope your bro in law is too!

here are 2 sunset pics - big time difference - I sort of got involved meanwhile LOl


Eileen how did you do the rolling eyes smiley? with a gif, or by typing something?

Mary, I'm sorry. I agree go see a massage therapist or an osteopath, or a bowen technique practitioner.

and another



you having aftershocks, Cynde???

Karen, that is a totally different epicenter than what I found! It's odd, because the table, monitor, shook, and we are on the 3rd floor, so the building always "sways" it did that for a few seconds, and then it stopped, and then started again...I wonder if there were 2...where did you find that?

OK, there were TWO, ONE MINUTE APART! That's why I felt it stop then start again! Yikes!

http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Quakes/at00000169.htm

What is worrying us all, is that one was South, one was North, one minute apart...

Gotta go to bed. Take care, Cynde, and anyone else nearby or affected.

Nighty Night

OMG, Cynde. I turn my back for five minutes and you have an earthquake or two. Now that does scare me. I hope everyone is ok. Annie B.

Cynde I am glad you are OK and everything will be OK.

Jenni, it is a clipart - \ clipart {uhoh}
Without spaces. There are more in the formatting section found at the bottom of the screen.

Earthquake ? OMG !
I experienced one ( just a skake ) in Eilat ( Israel ) some years ago and I am definitely panicking when travelling in hazardeous countries. I was scared in Costa Rica, I was scared in Red Sea, I was scared in Martinique...
Cynde I wish everything is allright with you and familly. I understand how you may feel.
Time to say goodnight now. Over 01.00 AM. Need to go to bed. I bet I dream about earthquake...

Well, we are all calming down a bit now...the one off Baja California (Mexico) was out in the ocean...hope we don't get a tsunami as a result!

Night Jenni and Martine

I really would not like to experience anything like that. It would just freak me out something awful. Annie B.

Keep us posted, I hope all will be well.

According to Cynde, quake was just upgraded to a 5.2. That is some shake. Annie B.

Well now the report is saying just one, off Coronado California (down by San Diego). The above links go to the updated information.

We have felt the odd shake up here but very small in magnitude. I would be scared if there was anything more that what we had. Scary thing is, there is a Nuclear Power plant built over small fault line.

Mary, Sorry to hear of your accident. I am glad that you are ok.

Cynde - glad to hear that you are okay - I left just before you reported the earthquake!!!

Thanks everyone for your well wishes - my thoughts after it happened were thank goodness I am okay and oh well about the car!!! I had 4 years of fun driving it!!!

Eileen the massage therapist is a great idea!!! Need something to workout the kinks!!!

Mary~ I hope you are feeling better today. I'm really sorry that happened to you and I do hope you won't suffer any long-term ill-effects from the accident. You're just never the same after an accident! And I'm terribly sorry to hear the car had Texas plates! I hope you won't hold it against us Texans.

Cynde~ Hope everything is less shakey today down in your neck of the woods!

Mary, please be care full with the neck and shoulder pains, I've been there and believe me, it is a real pain in the butt if you ignore it!

Cynde, I'm glad you are OK.
