Post: A backwoods hick and his rude animated monkey slap a blue light on their car and stop some poor guy for driving a Dodge Charger while eating a croissant. In another commercial, a man driving an Audi stops for a pedestrian and slows down coming up on a puddle to avoid splashing two mopes sitting on a bench next to the puddle, but the next car (a Dodge maybe?) splashes the two guys on the bench. Which car would you be more attracted to? |

Post: The high today in Reykjavik is 48ºF. Sunrise was 3:37 AM, and sunset is 11:14 PM. What a strange place; and it's a place I want to experience! |

Post: The skiing was OK at Mt. Rose, while the snow was thin (and slushy in the afternoon). All-in-all though, this was another great Reno/Tahoe Spring trip. |

Post: NOT ME!!!!!!!!! Julie, you replied to an old (very old) message in this thread, which confused me, but when I checked it out it sent me down memory lane about a good year skiing. And that reminded me that I've been watching the snow at Tahoe for a few weeks now; it is looking good so far. Also, I didn't want my post count to end in "13", since my upcoming Reno trip needs as much luck as I can muster. |

Post: Well, I did my second (and last) marathon last Sunday. I beat my 2013 time and finished much stronger than last year, but I don't want the jarring to my feet, shins, and knees, nor the fatigue to my thighs that 26.2 miles brings. |

Post: That's true: if a finger of lava heads toward your home, you can douse it with water from fire hoses, build berms or trenches or offer a small pig or goat to Pele, but nothing will stop it (though I'm not sure anyone has done that last thing lately). |

Post: Oh, those poor folks on the Big Island. Two (and a half?) hurricanes in the last few months have blown by, and now a lava flow is threatening homes. I hope things turn out well for them. |

Post: My second major trip of the year is over, and I had a great time. The hardest part for me, as always, was the plane ride to and from. Otherwise, I met an old friend (from here) and saw some wonderful museums and sights. But it's good to be back home. |

Post: One storm (Iselle) went by with little overall damage, but another one (Julio) is yet to come. We hope it continues to veer North, away from the Islands. |

Post: Well, I'm going home tomorrow. I miss my own bed. Sydney was nice (expensive but nice). A short delay in Sydney was largely made up in flight by good tailwinds. Someone ordered great weather for us in Sydney: upper 40ºs to lower 70ºs and sunny each day; not bad for Winter. The singing was nice, but the highlight was the Opera House, which has the best acoustics I've ever experienced for both the audience and the chorus. |

Post: Off to Australia in a few months. My singing group will be performing with choruses from other countries. It should be fun. All the choirs will have a chance in the Opera House, but perhaps not on the same day. I don't know where the massed choir will sing, but it will have to be a big venue for the chorus and orchestra. |

Post: Off to Australia in a few months. My singing group will be performing with choruses from other countries. It should be fun. Oh, I'm sure I will. My group is very talented, yet they let me sing with them. It's like being invited to a great party when you hardly know anyone--just remain inconspicuous and don't do anything stupid, then you may have a good time. |

Post: Off to Australia in a few months. My singing group will be performing with choruses from other countries. It should be fun. Just Sydney, but the trip will include local sightseeing in addition to (and in between) the performances. My choir will sing in four venues in Sydney, and all the choirs get together for a single performance of a piece that should be impressive--a few hundred voices can be stirring. |

Post: What a great ski trip! The night before our first skiing day the Sierras got about a foot of new snow, which was a lot for this winter. We didn't know, looking at conditions before leaving home, if there would be any snow at all so we were very happy. Those of us who went to San Francisco for a few days before the Tahoe portion also got three very sunny days there, which many of you know can be rare for that city. |
