WoooHooo! The chase is on! Can't wait to see who wins it all in Homestead this year! My money's on Tony!

Man, they brought gne back and I missed it, I guess I should check into flickr every now and then and see what's going on. I'll bet it was fun. I can't believe it's been sooo long since we've all gotten together. Maybe next year we can all get together in real life. If we can't have our game back, maybe we can dream for awhile.

I've lost all my links and I'm not even sure if anyone's still around. Comments are working now, of course that means I've lost all of the old ones. That sucks! If you should happen by, leave me your address and I'll re-add you.

Well maybe this time I'll actually post more than once every 6 months. Doubt it, but I'm going to try.

definitely time to update this, changes are a comin'

It's been a long, long time since I've even thought about blogging. Now that the slow summer season is here, maybe I'll have more time, although flickr seems to take up most of my online time these days. I hope everyone's well and drop me a line sometime, it would be nice to hear from you. yes I mean YOU! :)

Wow, the whole world really can change overnight. I went away for the weekend and Y! bought flickr. I'm not sure this is a good thing but who knows, maybe Y! won't ruin it. I'm not so sure. I love going to the flickr site and looking at all the new pictures that people have posted. Someday when I get to have a faster connection, I might be able to post more pictures. I do it occasionally but I really don't have time anymore. This buyout is like when we lost majestic or when gne went away. I know things don't stay the same, change is good? but change does suck sometimes.

We can always hope that this will free up Caterina, Stewart, Jason, Cal and George to work on gne!

Now then, to all you Brown's fans that put down Bill Belichick when he was the head coach of the Cleveland Browns, I say raspberries, phftt, to you. If a head coach is ever given a chance in Cleveland, he will do well. I was born in Cleveland and have been a die-hard Browns fan, even when they were 3-13. I love the Browns. Maybe you all should lighten up a bit. Success isn't instantaneous, no matter what you think. I say Belichick winning 3 Superbowls proves he "can" coach. All he needed was some time.

I'm glad that Aaaugh! posted this. It's a picture of the gameneverending, a piece of my life, and many others, that's going away. Hopefully not for ever, but it's a good possibility that it will be for a very long time. the Ludi's are doing very well with flickr and just don't have the time to give gne the attention it really deserves. I'm really sad that it's gone and am going to miss seeing everyone in chat and knowing that when we all get together again, as some of us will, it won't be while clicking away or waiting for TRG so we can yoink from the campers. Goodbye, gne.

A beautiful sky can be decieving

I recieved an email today with a link that I think is very important. It's for Floridians who need help after the hurricanes we've had and the 1 that's on the way. I'm not asking for me, we did ok. It's for everyone else that has lost their homes or jobs or memories. It really doesn't matter if it's only $1 (or more if you can.)

We did alright, like I said, lost nothing but a bunch of trees and the pond is overfull. No big deal, you just take the loader and push the trees out of the way, that's what's really nice about having acres of land. You don't have to worry about the neighbors and they don't have to worry about you.

The stress levels down here are getting really bad, people just don't care, if you have something they want, they take it, even if it's your lane on the road. And I've found that most don't even look when they're turning onto a main road, they slow down for the turn and go.

Speaking of stress levels, this had better be the last hurricane this year, 3 in 1 month is just crazy. Hurricane season isn't over until the end of November so this could be a loooonnggg, loooonnnggg season.

I still have a few pics of Hurricane Charley to post but I can't seem to find the time. Now, Frances might be coming this way. I don't think we can stand another hurricane this soon after Charley. Anything that hasn't fallen down or come apart already is going to when Frances gets here. Maybe we'll be lucky and Frances will just go away. Somehow, I don't think so, I think it's just our year........

I'll get back here as soon after as I can and let everyone know what's happened. I hope it will be nothing and everyone is safe.

All I can say is WOW!

Flickr

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

wow, updates around here are great, I mean bloggers not mine. I  do have pics and stories, there's just been so much going on. 3 new args, trying to get sleep to make up for all that I missed while on vacation, and of course, work. I haven't had time to do any blogging. The pics have all been named and will be posted (for the most part) on Mart's site.  He has nicely offered the space and I have gratefully accepted.
 
I loved Vancouver, it's beautiful mountains, water, and for the most part people. I say that because on the day we left someone stole my laptop. That was the only bad stain on the whole trip. The weather was perfect, it only rained once, on monday morning, for a few hours and then faded away over the mountains. We ended up with a perfect party room and great people to party with. More next time and maybe a pic or two.
