today i discovered that a grown woman of my acquaintance, who is older than me, did not really know that there were state Capitol buildings and then a federal one... and thought that the CA state capitol had been a possible target on 9/11.

12:16 am

torgone

I work with an otherwise smart person who was convinced that Obama had somehow made all the ammunition manufacturers create gunpowder that would expire on a certain date, so that civilian guns would not work when he came to confiscate all the guns ..

12:16 am

cybernan

scary isn't it, when you think how many of the population is undereducated.

7:28 am

rubyfoo

hah, a little Welsh!

7:28 am

rubyfoo

How are ytou? Did the blizzard pass you by?

7:28 am

doseffing

... Cymric.... Welsh is English

7:29 am

rubyfoo

After an unusually bitter but dry winter, Spring finally arrived!

7:29 am

doseffing

... yeah ... we missed it ... it hit the south shore of the lake from at least Hamilton, Buffalo and Rochester but not particularly hard ... ... the north shore missed it

7:30 am

rubyfoo

I used to live in Binghamton and my sister (in NYC) told me that Bing had about 3 feet

7:30 am

doseffing

... Atlantic coast from at least Pennsylvannia through to Nova Scotia got socked

7:32 am

doseffing

... I'd bet that they were included in the coverage of the big Atlantic storm ...

7:32 am

rubyfoo

We get much less snow now than when I first came

7:32 am

rubyfoo

here

7:32 am

rubyfoo

And no hard frost even with the bitter cold

7:33 am

rubyfoo

cosse

7:33 am

rubyfoo

sorry

7:33 am

doseffing

... true ... we used to get far more than we get now ... it came sooner and lasted longer

7:34 am

rubyfoo

Hard frost is needed to kill off insects like ticks

7:35 am

rubyfoo

For the first time, there are hedgehogs in tthe garden, 2 so far, and the dog goes insane!

7:36 am

doseffing

... Toronto is so big and there is so much power generation that there is this heat island over it ... it directs the snow from the midwest either to the south to dump on upstate New York or the north to dump on sukee and ski country around Lake Simcoe

7:36 am

rubyfoo

That's very interesting

7:37 am

doseffing

... we had a whole flock of robins in the neighbours bush the other day ... they got caught in this last freeze ... I'm sure they're not happy

7:39 am

rubyfoo

The colorful birds are back,most of them small but totally different from No; American birds

7:39 am

rubyfoo

The feeder is close enough to the house that I'm able

7:40 am

rubyfoo

to identify ll these new birds which have been added to my "life list"

7:41 am

rubyfoo

7:42 am

rubyfoo

Only if you're Swedish, I guess

7:43 am

rubyfoo

Bye for now

7:43 am

doseffing

... maybe it's a brand name... have avoid all contact with chewing tobacco since the Finnish foreman at the lumber camp I worked one summer tricked all the southern boys with "chocolates" ... which were really tobacco ...

11:46 am

penquis

we have had some melting today even though the temp is under 30...

well we have the advantage of frequent breezes....they help dry up the liquid...

11:50 am

You're near the water where it is warmer

hi hego! I'm just monkeying at this point

1:26 pm

moolingwa

well let me give you some room

1:26 pm

mael

:)

1:27 pm

hego

It's a monkeying kind of day.

1:27 pm

mael

well I never! I just monkeyed a 7

1:27 pm

moolingwa

sobway...it's when you miss your train

1:27 pm

moolingwa

good for you mael!

1:28 pm

moolingwa

still have six 7s to go out of the 20 remaining...should be fun

1:30 pm

1:30 pm

moolingwa

pretty sure it liked you too pen :)

1:31 pm

mael

haven't listed yet, that's the mark of an enjoyable grid :)

1:31 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I find it more challenging that way

1:31 pm

moolingwa

if I was to list, then it becomes more a math problem than a word one

1:32 pm

hego

which is kind of fun too.

1:33 pm

moolingwa

yeah, just not for me hego :)

1:33 pm

moolingwa

makes it too easy for me

1:33 pm

mael

yeah, I'm with hego. When I'm done beating my head against the wall I list, it's fun to puzzle the words out. Sometimes they're blatantly obvious and I have no idea how I missed them in the first place

1:33 pm

moolingwa

but...I don't begrudge others doing it

1:33 pm

mael

which might be the case with the 5 Cs I'm missing out of 8 total...

1:34 pm

moolingwa

I only have three C's left

1:35 pm

moolingwa
