I was confused, Stradee..... I did not know Leon Leonwood was a poet...... However, after Googling L.L.Bean poems, I found a site called Schnozzfest - that did have some awful poems. Hanging head.....

clicked....................

By the way, have you all seen the news re. global warming? Two days discussion on the national news and I heard not a mention of Rain Forest destruction.

Dan, the media is more than lax when reporting enviornmental issues.

Human activity is altering the chemical composition of the atmosphere, so it isn't surprising that while they do mention deforestation as a serious problem, they arn't discussing the consequences of rainforest destruction. flooding, carbon dioxide released to the atmosphere {1/3 - 1/5} and here's a fact that people should investigate before purchasing products {vote with dollars) that tropical forest fibers are found in ropes and strings, mattresses, fabrics, industrial processes, and more.

I think the rainforest is just a small part of the whole scenario - the signs have been on the wall for several years. Maybe the efforts and money used on War on Drugs should better be used to fight global warming.

Had 2 lovely reading days.

ul, or the billions of dollars the administrations asking Americans to fund for more troops to Afganistan and Iraq.

Afghanistan, the poppy seed capital of the world, are fast becoming the leader in exports. What war on drugs?

There are two books sitting on the coffee table that call to me each day i arrive home from work. My next free day from work, i've promised myself a vacation.

Clicking daily..............

I couldn't get on able2know yesterday. I'm not able2know what is happening with the site?? And, lately, each time I do get on I have to Login again - over and over - even after checking the box to remember me........Oh well..... Maybe it will get better.

Able2 or notAble2 - the daily question :wink:

This morning NA2K- so I had a intersting day at the Albertina. The Biedermeier exhibit is wonderful. Then I had to buy more books-

a2k an adventure in connecting lately. What has worked for me is opening a new browser window, then typing in a2k's address, and then finally there's the page!

Poor hamsters are overworked.

Rain tomorrow and for Saturday and Sunday, if we are to believe the weather guy. Mild temps though, warm and cloudy! The rain Gods are smiling on the Sierras! Hurray!

Clicking for the rainforest ~ then a movie, and a good book.

Heaven

Thanks guys - er, gals......

I am glad to see and hear that I'm not alone.

Let us all think about our ehBeth. She is in MINUS temps today

And, the puppies..................

For ehBeth- hot tea from the rescue team

ahhhhhhhh hot tea

just what I need after that walk from the bus stop to the house

apparently the wind chill temp right now is about -30C - it's hard to feel comfy at that temp - possible to not feel frozen - but the wind is really the critical factor

brrrrrrrr

Stay warm, Beth!

Sending along with Rescue Team a plate of oatmeal toffee cookies and a warm pair of Bear Paw slippers.

ooooooooooh

cooooooookies

and slippies (I'm wearing socks AND shoes inside the house right now - a real rarity for me)

ehBeth would you like to swap places with me? A cool 44 degrees celcius or 111 degrees in your language under the old Coolabah tree beyond the black stump.

No thanks Dutchy.

I can always put on more clothes, but once yer nekkid there's no place to go.


(and 'my' language is Celsius )

Either weather conditions are too extreme for me right now, although I love hot weather.
Clicked.

still no rain - clear skies - warm temps

WOW ! I got right in with no prob today and didn't have to Login !! Maybe the hamsters are working again.......

Keep those muffs close and scarfs wrapped, ehBeth...... And, we know you're clothing the puppies.....

I forgot to tell you all..... At the end of last month the first daffodils bloomed here. That is getting to be scary. It was January......
