We're fine - feeling sorry for Rose - rotten weather for the last week and forecast for next week too.
1:30 am
Lizlin
Cloud, cloud and more cloud with some rain. Perhaps it'll be better towards the end of the week.
1:31 am

Really happy that your week was both inspiring and fun.

We (babblers) are the new world empire, part of a world where the sun "never sets" LOL
1:46 am

I'm here - just a few more words to find. time zones are weird though not that close to Sunday yet but closer than you. Nearly 5 pm here.
1:47 am
Lizlin
Happy to be part of the babble empire but it would be good to see some sun ;)
1:47 am
stidmama
yep, a lot closer than me! that dateline is pretty amazing. :-D
1:47 am
sprite
getting close to 9 am here. Yes, we are, a good new world order with a never setting sun and usually lots of peace, support and fun to be had.
1:48 am
Lizlin
I'm still amazed that when we flew to Vancouver, we arrived 3 hours before we left!
1:49 am

that would mess with my brain!
1:49 am

It was brilliant - meant we got an extra day with family.

Flying back not so good though!

stidmama
The extra day would be nice....

hey peach. how are you honey?
2:55 am
gapeach
Doing OK so far. How are you?
2:56 am
grannyrose
have travelled nearly 700 miles since yesterday morning. starting to feel fatigued.
2:57 am
gapeach
Wow. I bet you are> Get some rest please.
2:58 am
grannyrose
just another 300-400 miles to go and then i can rest in glorious sunshine either on the beach or sitting in a chair.
2:59 am
gapeach
Are you driving or flying?
3:00 am
grannyrose
don is doing the driving. but the wear and tear of the body beautiful hurtling through space at over 70 mph is draining.
3:00 am
Lizlin
Glorious sunshine - you'll be lucky!
3:01 am
grannyrose
hey, what have you done to the weather ?? i sent you a truckload of sunshine from gundagai.
3:02 am
grannyrose
we saw the forecast for monday, that will do me fine....
3:03 am
Lizlin
It never reached here :( This weather is so wrong for mid winter. 40% chance of rain on Monday.
3:03 am

High of 24
3:03 am

i missed sprite tonight. i was waiting for this slow piece of machinery which laughingly calls itself a laptop, to load up and log in.
3:03 am
Lizlin
She had a wonderful week.
3:04 am
grannyrose
i was praying for that for her.
3:04 am
Lizlin
How's your journey going - apart from being tiring?
3:05 am
grannyrose
not too bad. don, of course, is a laugh a minute... i hope to catch some good quality zzzzz's tonight. last night too sore, and too excited to sleep properly.
3:06 am
grannyrose
the scenery is spectacular. jaw-dropping to be exact.
3:06 am
grannyrose
today i remembered to dose up at lunch time so have traveled much better.
3:07 am
Lizlin
Perhaps one day we might do a shorter version of that drive.
3:07 am
Lizlin
We've talked about a round driving trip to Sydney but flying is so much quicker.
3:09 am
grannyrose
it is quicker, but like i said the scenery is amazing. we have been driving through the high plains of the Great Dividing Range.
3:09 am
Lizlin
We'd do a coastal route if we did it.
3:09 am
grannyrose
may catch you later peach.
3:10 am
grannyrose
well the coast between sydney and lakes entrance is to die for.
3:11 am
Lizlin
Well it's a very long time in the future if it happens.
3:11 am
grannyrose
it's called the sapphire coast. and that is what it is.
3:12 am
Lizlin
Friends did that drive when they were over from the UK. Said it was lovely.
3:16 am

Have a good evening,Rose. Safe travels. Hugs.

bon jour mon ami
5:13 am
Trifioso
so sorry about recent events, ruby....I don't even know what to say
5:14 am
bichon
Why is France so often a target?
5:17 am
bichon
I am hoping that there is no violence at the Republican convention next week
5:18 am
Trifioso
other than someone smashing a pie in trump's face, I agree
5:19 am
MollyL
Bichon, here is Time Magazine's answer to your question:
The roots of the problem are complex: France has a history of violence in its encounters with the Middle East and North Africa and a domestic Muslim community with long experiences of discrimination and feelings of exclusion from French society. France’s prisons have become a recruiting ground for extremists. And the French radical right is growing in influence, stoking tensions through rhetoric that is often anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim.
5:20 am
rubyfoo
They say that most of the violence, muslim-related, occurs in French-speaking places. Maybe because of the colonial past of France and Belgium
5:20 am
Trifioso
wow. that is a good, concise answer
5:21 am
rubyfoo
Molly, though tall, is always concise!! lol
5:21 am
MollyL
As for Trump, this election is like a bad summer re-run of the last two. The Republicans will nominate someone so out there and over the top that The Democrats could get Bozo The Clown elected.
5:21 am
rubyfoo
These events are making me sick and nervous. I don't feel safe any more, even in this backwater
5:22 am
MollyL
Ruby, you can take some comfort in the fact that terrorist attacks usually take place in highly populated areas.
5:22 am
Trifioso
sorry - enable woe - "pitter" is not a word? that must be news to all the folks who sell cherry pitters. or love the pitter patter of little feet.
5:22 am
rubyfoo
And it's extremely cold here for July, less than 50F this AM
5:23 am
Trifioso
I can certainly understand why you would feel that way, ruby!
5:23 am
rubyfoo
The problem her is that it's a popular tourist destination, and there is a big, crowded festival the first Saturday of August.
5:25 am
Trifioso
oh gosh ruby. see, that', to me, is where the conundrum really gets going - if everyone stays home, due to fear, the terrorists take that as a win. if everyone attends, refusing to be cowed, they put themselves at a terrible risk.
5:32 am
rubyfoo
exactly, Trif
5:33 am
rubyfoo
There are security guards checking purses abd bags at the supermarket and the hospital and a Jewish school in a neighboring town has military guards in front
5:33 am

Nice icon Judi. I don't think it goes with the Jerry Garcia mention though.
11:17 am
rururocks
well.. Jerry Garcia Ballooned in weight?
11:17 am
MLFAN17
hi again judi
11:17 am
Judi
Thanks, Molls. Didn't know we were observing GC. I don't pay much attention to icon theme days anymore.
11:18 am
Judi
Hubby's a Deadhead tho. I don't get it.
11:18 am
MLFAN17
no theme days for quite some time judi
11:18 am
MollyL
GC? I just looked at your icon and the text didn't match it.
11:18 am

11:18 am
MLFAN17
my brother's are or were as well judi I never understood the fascination either
11:19 am
rururocks
I'm not a Dead fan however
11:19 am
MollyL
I see the Eiffel tower and France colored balloons with a Jerry Garcia mention.
11:20 am
Judi
I just updated my profile. No more peacock spider/Gerry Garcia.
11:20 am
MollyL
I have never understood the Grateful Dead fascination either.
11:20 am
Judi
Thanks for calling that to my attention. I changed my pic to signify mourning for the folks in Nice.
11:21 am
MollyL
Jerry would be grateful, even though he is dead.
11:21 am
MLFAN17
jerry Garcia, judi. I see the ones with the balloons
11:21 am
rururocks
(Judi is all current and tidy now)
11:22 am
MollyL
It is a great message in a photograph. I like it.
11:22 am
Judi
Call my ears unsophisticated, but all the Grateful Dead song sound pretty much the same to me.
11:22 am
MLFAN17
well at least judi is something don't know what I am lol
11:22 am
MLFAN17
judi yes its called noise lol
11:23 am
Judi
lol, MLF. Shhh! My husband might be listening.
11:23 am
MollyL
There is cult worship for a lot of bands I don't get. Rush, for example. While Neil Peart is a great drummer, Getty Lee is a terrible singer. Hence, I am not a Rush fan.
11:23 am
MLFAN17
not that familiar with Rush so not a fan either
11:24 am
Judi
Rush and all the other "super groups" all sound the same as well.
11:25 am
MLFAN17
Rush is a "super group"?
11:26 am
Judi
I believe they were considered a super group.
11:26 am
MLFAN17
not sure about that
11:27 am
MollyL
MLF do a Google search on Rush Tom Sawyer. I'm sure you have heard them if you listen to rock music.
11:27 am
Judi
I seem to remember them being right up there with Cheap Trick, Journey, etc.
11:28 am
rururocks
I wouldn't know a rush song if it bit me in the ass
11:29 am
MLFAN17
judi you might be right with that as I have seen them mentioned as such I know its the same kind of sound as the other bands you just mentioned
11:29 am
MollyL
Tom Sawyer is one of those songs you turn off when it comes on the radio because it makes your ears bleed.
11:29 am
MLFAN17
ruru I just googled them, I don't recognize any of the songs at all
11:29 am
rubyfoo
Nice Nice icon, Judi
11:29 am
Judi
You're not missing much, Ru. I'm sure I-Tunes would be happy to give you a sample.
11:30 am
rururocks
didn't they just go into the hall of fame too?
11:30 am
MLFAN17
if that is the case molly I would rather listen to NightWish
11:30 am
MollyL
I have an affection for Cheap Trick as that was a nickname a male friend gave me once. I like Journey because Steve Perry was a hot boy in his day.
11:30 am
rururocks
I kinda like Cheap Trick
11:30 am
Judi
Hello, Ruby. Thank you. How are you?
11:31 am
rubyfoo
I feel like I'm a dinosaur; my music experience ended in the 80's
11:31 am
rururocks
I like Perry's voice and I think Neil Schon (sp?) is a pretty solid guitarist
11:31 am
MLFAN17
The Flame by Cheap Trick is awesome
11:31 am
rubyfoo
I'm sort of OK. Have you seen the news about Turkey? That is really scary!
11:32 am
Judi
I also remember the lead singers of all the super groups sounded more like women than men.
11:32 am
MLFAN17
ruby some of the best music came from the 80s
11:32 am
MLFAN17
judi that is true
11:32 am
Judi
I read about the short-lived coup attempt in Turkey. Reportedly over now... martial law and all.
11:33 am
rubyfoo
Thank you, MLF
11:33 am
rururocks
I hear the government stuffed the coup
11:33 am
MLFAN17
yw ruby:D
11:34 am
Judi
That is usually how coups go. Squashed by overwhelming military might.
11:34 am
MollyL
Oh man, some of the worst music ever came from the 80's.
11:34 am
rubyfoo
What makes the situation scary is that we have used their now-closed airforce base for our airstrikes in ISIS and we have a lot of US personnel there
11:34 am
rururocks
true.. but rap music is much worse
11:34 am
MLFAN17
molly I grew up on it
11:35 am
MLFAN17
i like very little rap music myself
11:35 am
rururocks
That explains a lot MLF :P
11:35 am
MLFAN17
it does?
11:35 am
Judi
Who was responsible for the coup attempt? I heard something about a faction of the military, but it was all kind of murky.
11:35 am
MollyL
Ruby, I changed my flag icon to France in a gesture of solidarity. I'm sorry your country is going through so much strife.
11:36 am
rururocks
The Military tried to gobble up some cities I think
11:36 am
MLFAN17
ruby how far are you from any of what has happened recently?
11:37 am
rubyfoo
Was my choice of décades wrong? Led Zep, Traffic, Chicago, X, Stevie Wonder, Beatles, Stones - don't know much about history
11:37 am
MLFAN17
de 6/21?
11:38 am
MLFAN17
Traffic?
11:38 am
rubyfoo
That is sweet, Molly
11:38 am
MollyL
Ruby, your choice of decades was just fine. Everyone you mentioned was good, good music.
11:38 am
rururocks
Traffic was a good band
11:38 am
MLFAN17
Beatles are before the rest of the artists you mentioned Ruby
11:38 am
rubyfoo
er than Paris, but there are a lot of mountains between
11:38 am
rururocks
beatles are from the 60's however
11:39 am
MLFAN17
don't know Traffic at all that i know of
11:39 am
rubyfoo
Phew; I thought I had messed up
11:39 am
rururocks
Traffic had Dave Mason and Stevie Winwood
11:39 am
rubyfoo
That's when I moved to Miami and was a salsa queen lol
11:39 am
MollyL
I dare anyone to not get up and dance when Stevie Wonder's "Superstion" comes on.
11:40 am
MLFAN17
ruru wasn't their a singer with the last name Windwood who went solo is that the same one?
11:40 am
rururocks
I love Stevie Wonder
11:40 am
rubyfoo
High-heeled Boys....

11:41 am
rubyfoo
<-- dancing in the kitchen
11:41 am
MLFAN17
you are allowed to do that ruby:)
11:41 am
MollyL
Steve Windwood's best single was "Roll With It". That brought back line dancing from the 60's.
11:42 am
rururocks
i'm creeped out by Mick Jagger getting a 29 year old pregnant
11:42 am
Judi
Ditto, Ru. Yeeeeeech.
11:42 am
MollyL
I am sure that was creepy for the 29 year old too.
11:42 am

Higher Love is a great song
11:42 am
Judi
Although, that will no doubt secure her spot in the childe support hall of fame.
11:43 am
MollyL
There are women who will close their eyes and suffer to get impregnated by a wealthy rock star.
11:43 am
MLFAN17

11:44 am

11:46 am
Judi
A layer of tooth enamel, MLF (I think).
11:46 am
MollyL
Bill Withers is probably one of the least mentioned, but best musician of the 70's - 80's genre.
11:46 am
rubyfoo
Yay for Bill Withers!
11:48 am
Judi
What Mick Jagger says when his wife asks, "can we do it again?" Sorry, Love. Bill Withers.
11:48 am

12:02 pm
Judi
It's a greek letter, MLF.
12:03 pm
MollyL
Well I will leave the cluing to other people. Hard to clue when someone says "just the layer underneath"? And then says "yeah, I got that word." Happy trails.
12:06 pm
MLFAN17
i was just saying that is the actual definition of the word
12:06 pm
MLFAN17
i found the word by googling it
12:06 pm
Judi
Fortunately, not a greek coin.
12:09 pm
MLFAN17
