Phyl   All the tales of the Royal Gorge Bridge's sights (for which there are ? no adequate words).  You mentioned the weak knees, but no one has mentioned the weak stomach.  And...

Also, no one has mentioned the tram that kinda like shimmies down the wall of  the canyon to the bottom.  I've done that a couple of times when younger - and not so smart maybe.  Can't believe people do that.
 
Lani Thanks for the HI.  Those were some happy doggies in the surf.  They looked to be grinning.

Has common sense completely disappeared from our planet?

Regarding the removal of Molly due to a few loud mouths..

[karengramke]

Good Morning!  Had a calm night last night!  Piper thinks the back yard is too wet for her to be out in but the sun is out and the wind blowing most of the humidity out of tge area and the 3 inches if rain or so will soak in, Easter will come and life willbe normal for some!
Congrats Talon!  Keep tge picture, a good one!
Ditto Tsks comments on Dr. Rodgers.   Beautiful fox!
Karen getsa oedicure this afternoon!  She does nit need a sedative!   Only for the shots in her back!
Phyl, glad to learn Jim has his own wheels!  Have you been out spinning around town in your Kia?
Time for another cuppa !  Oh, tge financial problems of the Blmore Port do not stop on the East Coast! This port gets all the automotive business including farm equipment!   Farmers and car dealerships willbe suffering!   Oh  my.

karen - Enjoy your pedicure today.  Don't forget the hazardous material that is transported by ship, as those are not allowed by semi's thru the tunnels.   

Puff - Morning 

kb - 

[tsk34]

LISA   Pretty cheerful Easter basket this AM 

KB   Couldn't agree more.  Since Molly has been habituated let it return to its familiar life  DUH

KAREN    So happy to hear you can "endure" that pedicure without a sedative  LOLOLOL

Overall just a huge domino effect to this whole disaster

Will Baltimore bridge collapse force U.S. to pay more attention to its infrastructure?

LISA   Pretty cheerful Easter basket this AM 

Thank you

I got my driveway clear with the flat spade

My huge lower deck...hum, not so much. In fact none of my shovels can even penetrate a top layer. I left it since our first storm for a total of over 15 inches. with the rain it's solid concrete. I can open the door for Ollie. and removed some from my top deck.

Feel bad as when Ollie walks on it, he's literally on top of it, once in awhile poking through.
Reminds me of cutting my legs when younger babysitting at a house behind mine. Somehow through the evening a layer of ice coated the snow. think I bled so wanted to help Ollie. I was wearing a dress in those days.

Nada. This won't melt for a very long time...even with temps in the 30's and 40's...
That's why I always try to get to it right away. Was just too much all at once with rain and ice.

[karengramke]

Lisa, there is no doubt about the importance of  the port to the country and I hope they can clear the ship canal fairly fast!   The bridge is another matter and I do not know what they will do about that!   I was wondering if Norfolk could take any o f this!  Problem is that I do not think all ports are capable, equipment, services  and people  etc to handle all kinds of stuff!   A real mess.
The scope of this problem makes snow removal look minor!

Now let me tell you what also happened.  My hand to God - I thought yesterday this might arise.  On a noon news show just now they discussed the new protest to un-name the Key Bridge when it is reconstructed.  He owned slaves.  God help us.

One other downer this morning. . .Come on  already  Let the Magpie and dog live together!!!

And . . .

Yeahhhh!  I decided not to toss the new machine in the garbage.  There has been a new level of cooperation that we've reached.  Maybe this will work.

BTW is anyone else here already using and well-versed on an HP Envy 11 combination?  Just as an illustration.  We all know how to turn it on - the button on the top row.  (No longer at the left side top, now at the right side top.) 

Finally gave up the first couple days.  Search the web and Bingo!  You have to turn it off on the bottom of the screen.  Touch the Search key and on the bottom right of the inset is the x box to turn off the machine.  Why and who thought that was a necessity?

Clynn, Congratulations Talon!!!      .... sweet pic of DN babies 

Phyl, thank you for nature video and RRP blog.... The Galilee boat is an awesome discovery.... I'll read your articles on the bridge. Thanks

Kb, Beautiful Cheetah Family, not liking math I wouldn't have noticed the Pi symbol.  LOL! ... I hope the bird is returned to the family, sweet pic.

Tsk, I wouldn't have been able to tell it was a rabbit if you didn't say so. LOL! It could be the Star Trek Tribble! 

Lisa, beautiful morning pic.

{{{Puff}}}

Karen, enjoy your sedative free pedicure! I hope the shot will help your back.... I agree with you regarding port problems.

some bounce

Yes, PUFF, sad to say, that is the second thing I thought of when I heard the news the other day. In reading about him today, it seems he may have been only slightly conflictrd, and was a product of his time and upbringing. IMHO
Some info:

KB this is a cool photo  used by the travel company 'Ease My Safari'  for promo on the 3day Maasai Mara tour. And,  yes  this hits ya
in the face with 'Pi'. 

Molly the Magpie should go back the humans and her best girl friend Peggy.  Returning to 'the wild' would not be in Molly's best interest. IMHO



Tsk pretty English Angora rabbit

Karen took Jim forever to get the proceeds from his Publix stock options/sell off.  I do all the weekend driving commencing Friday after 6pm to
sundown Sunday.  And any thing I choose during the week.   Those vertigo exercise are confusing as  for me it's both ears/ sides. I'll figure it out---always do.

Puff glad you kept your 'puter'.

Lani  Tsk's angora rabbit does look lots like a ST 'tribble';  nice digital wildlife flora. It would  be so cool if that boat really was used by Him. 
Fantastic BE at the bear study; that ham fat will help keep the raptor warm.

[LisaG1967]

kb - Glad you made some progress with the snow removal. 

karen - I thought I read that Norfolk is going to let Carnival use their port. 

Puff - I had a feeling that subject would come up when a re-build comes along. 
I have the HP Envy 6400, and I do not find it user friendly.  The on/off button is around the back and on the bottom of machine.  And, I like to see a button that says, copy, scan or print to press....not a lighted up button with arrows on it.

Lani - Thank you, and your morning pic is just as beautiful!
