9:56 am

rururocks

9:56 am

ChampFit

It would be nice to live somewhere for a year and give it a try. Why not? It'll go by quicker than you think, I imagine.

9:56 am

HarryHood

If I could go anywhere I think around Santa Fe would be the best

9:57 am

10:01 am

HarryHood

Is that the title of your autobiography mlf?

10:02 am

HarryHood

Sounds like a miniseries starring Cheryl Ladd

10:02 am

cybernan

nah -- we only get below freezing temperatures during the day for one month a year and even then rarely below 15F

10:02 am

hokie carla

that calgary border patrol agent was sweating me hard when we went to banff. made me really nervous. lol

10:05 am

hokie carla

mar or april 2019

10:05 am

HarryHood

10:05 am

hokie carla

mlfan, I just clued

10:06 am

cybernan

10:06 am

MLFAN17

10:06 am

MLFAN17

nbt

10:06 am

hokie carla

yes, flew to calgary and then stayed in canmore

10:07 am

HarryHood

I got hassled by the canadian border police when driving to toronto for a grateful dead concert. Not a big shock there.

10:07 am

hokie carla

I would totally retire to canmore if there weren’t grizzlies roaming through town on the regular

10:07 am

hokie carla

beautiful town

10:08 am

HarryHood

and once on a road trip we were interrogated on the way into canada since they were afraid we didn't have enough money and would become leeches.

10:08 am

hokie carla

lol, I mean deadheads can be

10:09 am

HarryHood

I spent a day in a town in northern ontario called Swastika. stress on the second sylabble

10:09 am

HarryHood

syllable

10:09 am

cybernan

yes - Canmore is a pretty town. If you like it there you would also like Kimberlely

10:10 am

hokie carla

Where is that, nan?

10:12 am

cybernan

We've never been given a hard time -- even when we were hauling a bunch of fixtures back for our new house. Can't say the same about going into the states however -- have been hassled a few times by border agents feeling their authority. Guess it works both ways.

10:12 am

hokie carla

By the way, we did not really like the town of banff - too busy

10:12 am

cybernan

Kimberly is a moutain village in the Kootenays -- lots of ski resorts around (Nancy Greene country)

10:14 am

HarryHood

US agents have always been tougher on me than canadian agents. and mexican agents - though they have asked for random "payments"

10:14 am

hokie carla

I don’t know the Kootenays or Nancy Greene, is that in BC or Alberta?

10:14 am

cybernan

Banff is always croweded -- has become too weel known on the tourist circuit. That's the worst thing about were we live -- crawling with tourists all summer. At least this year that is somewhat reduced.

10:14 am

MollyL

Border police are always harsher on the non-natives than they are on the native citizens.

10:15 am

hokie carla

Have been to mex a couple of times, once was on a cruise though, so don’t rem dealing with bp. Also don’t rem the time we flew there, so it must not have been bad.

10:16 am

rururocks

i've gone to bc a dozen times in the last 8 years and never had a problem

10:17 am

ChampFit

FW! Last words were sh's...new to me.

10:17 am

cybernan

In the BC southern interior. Nancy Green was the olympic gold medalist in either slalom or downhill not sure which for a couple of the games.

10:17 am

ChampFit

Enjoy, everyone! See you tomorrow.

I think I've shared the Gabriola Island complaint choir here before

rururocks

10:18 am

HarryHood

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeO-K_\nqI2w8

10:18 am

cybernan

i suspect the only time you get hassled in either direction is when you don't have any reservations for a place to stay and you don't have any concrete travel plans.

10:18 am

HarryHood

nan - that's me in a nutshell through my twenties.

10:19 am

hokie carla

Ok, it appears she was way before my time. Just like nan doesn’t get pop culture ref, I don’t get canadian athletes who competed before I was born. ;)

10:19 am

hokie carla

Adios, champ

10:21 am

hokie carla

Well, we did have a concrete res in canmore, which I’m sure we told him. Also, just a family of 4 on spring break vacation and he kept saying, why are you here??

my cat opie is so self-defeating

11:11 am

hurshy

he loves people, and he loves petting, but he gets SO EXCITED by petting, esp from people other than me, that he rolls himself around on the ground in a frenzied way, making it hard to pet him, and then he bites people out of excitement and joy. so then people do not want to pet him.

11:12 am

Alleyn58

Any one prepared to give the co8 with an idiot clue please!

11:50 am

hurshy

i have left 4 C, 3 G, 2 H, and 1 R

11:51 am

cybernan

is veggie haggis still haggis if it is cooked in the lining of a sheep's stomach?

11:51 am

cybernan

or is it still vegetarian?

11:53 am

Atalante

its not really haggis, it doesnt go near sheep stomachs. Its oats and veggies and yumminess

11:53 am

hurshy

why would one even bother calling it haggis tho?

11:55 am

cybernan

must admit that if I had to eat haggis, I would rather the veggie version than animal entrails

11:55 am

hurshy

me too

11:55 am

hurshy

ok, if you take the S off those scottish words you get H words, those were my missing Hs

The fishmongers at the Pike Place Market in Seattle have to keep them in the case closest to the aisles so that tourists can snap photos without interrupting fish sales.

And, for a possibly NSFW photo, google Evergreen State College Mascot...

4:36 pm

MollyL

And really, what do you do with a picture like that? Send it to friends and family?

4:37 pm

jan

I suppose it is the same impulse that causes people to steal the entering the city sign at Intercourse PA. I believe alcohol may be involved.

4:37 pm

FrenchToast

LOL OMG that mascot was voted #1 worst college mascot, according to that website

4:38 pm

I would think about stealing a sign that said YOU ARE ENTERING INTERCOURSE

4:40 pm

FrenchToast

I have a fridge magnet from there that says I <3 Intercourse

4:40 pm

jan

I think it actually reads "Welcome to Intercourse." But your point remains!

4:40 pm

FrenchToast

<3 is heart

4:41 pm

It's one of those towns that has Amish people riding around in horse & buggies

4:41 pm

hurshy

i took students on a field trip to a place where we hiked in woods and saw banana slugs. our guide told the students they could kiss the banana slugs if they wanted. one of the girls who declined, for some reason, some of the other kids were pressuring her to do it, but she kept refusing. so after a bit i stepped in and said, great job, (student), resisting peer pressure! keep it up!

4:43 pm

origami

Kissing banana slugs is a gateway to larger molllusks - next up qu7

4:44 pm

Geoducks are amorphous actually they are bivalves

5:49 pm

rururocks

Sorry. I didn’t mean for everyone to clam up

5:51 pm

If you have a young bivalve trying to mate with a geoduck. Would that be clam digging?

hi Liz

7:18 pm

Lizlin

Hi TO. Hi Lyn - tough down there for you all in Vic :( They're talking here about totally closing our state borders again.

7:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

that

7:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

i hope not. this thing is just awful.

7:20 pm

lynxxx

I suppose it is good to over-react. My brother and partner left before all the border closures and are luxuriating way up North

7:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

i cannot imagine going into fall and winter with restrictions.

7:21 pm

Lizlin

I'd actually be in favour of it, TO. Victoria is being hit again, as are some parts of New South Wales. However the rest of Australia isn't doing too badly at all. If it stops it spreading further, that's a good thing, even with the difficulties it poses.

7:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes

7:22 pm

lynxxx

I agree - go to stop it somehow and if you don't jump on it fast, it gets away

7:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

there were protests here and now it's spreading among younger ages like wildfire

7:23 pm

Lizlin

Sadly it's unlikely I'll get to either of the 2 family weddings that are scheduled for next year - my nephew in the UK and my cousin in Canada but if it stops the spread, I'd have to live with the disappointment.

7:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

that's sad, liz

7:24 pm

Lizlin

My nephew's was already postponed from this May.

7:24 pm

Lizlin

I hope for my nephew and cousin that their weddings are able to go ahead though.

7:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

my neighbor's daughter postponed hers. the venue told her they would use disposable service.

7:25 pm

Lizlin

I don't blame her - but it's very tough though.

7:26 pm

Lizlin

I can't see an end to this in the near future.

ditto.
