Char, and Jen, and Auburn Annie - I so laughed at Onion's Belt or Ironing Belt! However, that WOULD BE unique!
I'd be happy to give a remedial astronomy class, but something tells me celestial navigation isn't your thing! However, if you ever get the urge, you'll know who to e-mail!
Jen, snakes? You would love to have seen the 6-foot long one I came across while jogging along the American River bike trail a few years ago. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! A kid shooed it away with his bike. I also saw a big pink colored snake in Havasu Canyon back about 10 years ago but I was water-drunk (yes, you can drink too much water!) and thought it was GORGEOUS! Because of my "condition", I wasn't afraid of it at all. Luckily, I was hiking with a doctor, who realized we were both getting a little giddy, and we just sat down by the trail and laughed and laughed until we got sober again. Thank God, by then the snake was gone.
And Char, just remember the bad jou-jou regarding tattooing the names or initials on your bod! You might end up hating Gord and move on into rap - do you REALLY want to take that chance?!?
I like the black, geometric tattoos the best...and remember, if they sag, no one's gonna know! I think you ladies are much younger than me and won't think it will happen to you but one day, believe me, you'll get up out of bed and wonder why most of your skin has decided to migrate South!
Char, have a great long Canada Day weekend! And to Jen and Auburn Annie - I know we'd prefer a long weekend but will settle for taking a day off in the middle of the week! Ah, just to laze in bed for awhile and do things on YOUR time, HEAVEN!
Cheers! Sheryl from No. Cal.
