THIS IS LIVE!

Judie said...

Good morning, everyone.

Deb and Jo thanks for the PA link. I really like it.

Beautiful morning at Finland. Not like my real-life view this morning of overcast and drizzle.

Will be scarce today. Need to try to complete exam questions, read some on perception of sensory information, AND having lunch with a former student who works for Interpol -- cool lady. I'll check back later.

Everyone enjoy the day.

Judie

normabyrd said...

MORNIN JUDIE!---Sounds as if you are going to have an interesting lunch companion!--ENJOY!

normabyrd said...

KRIS KRISTOFFERSON was just interviewed again!---Loved him--way back---was COOL~---RHODES SCHOLAR!!!

hedgie said...

Wanda...now at 16 for Fri. night.

stronghunter said...

Good morning!

When is the Chris Packham interview supposed to take place? I had some trouble figuring out who the man is, but did some research and found him and his foolishness.

Judie, are you working on mid-term exam questions or are you already writing your final?

stronghunter said...

Okay, found the Packham interview and watched it online.

Good Sunday Morning Eagle Friends

Sun starting to shine here in Martinsburg, the middle county of the far Eastern Panhandle three.


I got the Trojan virus alert that many of you have talked about, right after my last early morning post, while I was checking a site on Google...said I had 12 viruses, about flipped out, but did the Verizon Security Scan (which took over 5 hours) and it did not detect any. Think I will leave sleeping dogs lie for now...hope the PC does not crash. If I disappear suddenly during the day, you might know that is what happened.

magpie said...

Windows PC Defender wanted me to run a file "vetcuof" and I was not sure I trusted that site....any ideas on this?

Best Wishes for a Great Day for all ☺

magpie said...

Eagle at BWO looks soggy...

stronghunter said...

Have you tried Googling that site, Margy? I know that's what my sons the computer guys do.

stronghunter said...

Do not download that one, Margy!

stronghunter said...

Vetcouf

magpie said...

Okay, thanks Shirley !

I was tempted, but the Verizon Security is supposed to take care of things, and this one, I just didn't want to hit that button.

Ask, and receive, on here,
I Love It !

stronghunter said...

I do have some places on my home computer that I use. I'll check in a few minutes.

magpie said...

That's ok Shirley, take your time....I do appreciate any and all computer assistance that is offered here.

I will be out of the house for a little while...

What I said about the sun, I now have to retract...but maybe, later.

Loved your comments Wanda about Dustin...It's always an inspiration to others to see a healthy happy teenager these days.

Going to try to visit Megan's Market while I am out, work pager attached to my bibs....

TTFN - hope to return to a working computer later on...

xoxox ☺ ♥

magpie said...

Norma
I see you have to wait until Thursday to enjoy the 'Eeeeeeers !

stronghunter said...

I got a really ugly virus on my work computer one time. I am sure a student got to my computer. No matter what I tried to do, it typed a profane statement. I could not use the computer to do anything I had to type. Some other teachers got it, too. We did not have as much of a tech team as we have now, and nobody could fix it.

Eventually I got a message that I could use my computer again and a link to the site that caused the problem. It was all pre-set by this rascal. We had strong suspicions about who was responsible, but could not prove it.

magpie said...

That's just plain nasty, Shirley...
I really need to take some computer classes, or do more self-teaching...most of what I do at home is stumble and bumble, and everything at work is taken care of by skillled technicians.

Well, out the door I go, once I get dressed.

TTFN and Thanks again !
xo ☺

T-Bird said...

good morning eagle peeps

T-Bird said...

Finally, the sun is shining in Bedford. We sure did need the rain though.

stronghunter said...

Margy, I have used Ad-Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy in addition to my regular virus protection program. They are free downloads. I suggest that you research them before you use them.

stronghunter said...

Just google them.

stronghunter said...

Yes, it was plain nasty. We depend so much on our computers now that I would be in a real mess, but I think we are more protected, too. The system blocks many websites. Of course, some kids know how to get around the blocks.

hedgie said...

Getting ready to head out ....sun is starting to peek through. GOing to the Norwalk Festival at the fairgrounds----Norwalk is a car brand that was built in Martinsburg w-a-y back when. Only one known left in existence and local club bought it for 300G's. On display--fundraiser to pay off loan. There is going to be a GM Futurliner there---a bus from the early 40's that toured the country until mid-50's presenting technology innovations. NEVER heard of it before---strange for this GM gal! Gotta see it and take pics.
Later, gators!

NatureNut said...

Happy Sunday Morning Eagle Buds. It's a misty moisty morning here, but not really raining.
Prayers for all, & if I haven't gone totally over the edge, prayers for beaver at Park. We have a less than mile circle of boardwalk thru marsh that has a creek runing thru middle.Creek empties into River near our boat ramp. In March, I saw that area closer to River was getting flooded w/water coming close to bottom of walkway. NOW after all this time, they set up a trap! I saw it TU---looks terrible.Black bars at waterline between 4 black metal poles.I checked MD DNR sites and this is legal and they don't relocate anymore,however "harassing" beaver by poking holes in dam can sometimes make them abandon area!
Sat. another lady & I checked after work & only saw some support tobacco stakes, NO trap. Either it's been removed, or fell underwater. YAY, I hope.
Thx for listening--sorry to be a pest, but I had to tell somebody. I hate this,(told hubby I might resign!!!) altho they may think it's necessary. I sure would have tried another solution first,but I'm not the boss.

deb said...

Loretta, the Fish hatchery in Yankton is doing the same to Raccoons. I do understand why they have to, they are eating the fish, but it seems such a shame. The raccoon population had exploded due to abundant food source.

deb said...

New Mason update, got to go to work, no time to post link.

BBL

NatureNut said...

Thx for info, Deb. What is strange to me is that we haven't seen a lodge & little mud ribbons if dams are very small and you could touch them, so very easy to make holes. A co-worker did just that in March when I mentioned the dam and flooding of boardwalk and a patron reported him to the Commission for "distrubing" the dam!!!!He had to explain he was trying to prevent injury to visitors from slipping on wet walkway by trying to lower the water level!!!Where is she now?----to have seen that ugly trap???
I can see where it's bad to have a fish hatchery attacked. I thought they were vegetarians.
Oh well, enough of that~~~☺
I see a tiny bit of sun and am hoping to plant a replacement mum I got. My burgandy croaked, but gold is budding---for the Redskins of course!!! Gotta also take one of my HS bulletin boards apart while kitties are napping. They're so helpful!!!!

stronghunter said...

Loretta, how many kitties do you have? Are they kittens?

NatureNut said...

BTW, about a year ago I had a problem virus attack also.Didin't do a lot of damage, but I got free AdAware and another similar remover and only ran them a couple times.I bought something for a year called Stopzilla-=--it found lots of little stuff.
Now we just got a new anti-virus and with phone techie help (only$49) to remove expiring one at some other bits and pieces), learned that those other removers are not compatible w/A-V. He removed everything else----the new A-V should cover everything. Machine is much faster too. Good tip to find out if these things are compatible.

Shirley,We had a wonderful dog & then didn't have any pets for 10 years. We only have 2 cats. One is 3 yrs. old & a year ago someone dumped a kitten near our house. She is about 1 yr. old. We use July as their birthdays according to vet estimates.I call them kitties affectionately.The older one is the more clever inquisitive one---into lots of things. She may be part dog---invented "Go Fetch" w/toy mousie herself when a kitten. Carries it to your lap & then sits and waits for you to throw it, then retrieves.She also takes mousie and other small stuffed animals to the food dish! She answers the answering machine by tipping over the upright phone, and stepped on a fax machine button which caused it to shoot out & cut a strip of paper. I leave all messages to "Binky, tell Daddy that...." Sometimes sits in one of the 'puter chairs----then we call her (Binky) the Techie. The little one we named Scooter, because she was SO fast---trying to stay ahead of Binky during chase sessions.She is sweet (but doesn't want to be held) and meows at you to pet her----mostly observes Binky, but doesn't follow suit in B's shenanigans, thank goodeness.

NatureNut said...

BBL--try to get outside & dig!!!

stronghunter said...

Cats can be very amusing. My daughter has a cat who brings toys to you so you can play with him. At one time, he would put his toys back in the basket when he finished playing with them. I have had him drag one of those toys that look like a fishing pole to me when I was sleeping in bed. He wanted me to play. Brought the toy right to the bed.

T-Bird said...

GO Ravens! GO Redskins!

movin said...


By the way, the Loch Garten Osprey chicks have finally begun to move again. Especially the first one to start the migration has passed through Bordeaux and flown to somewhere near the Spanish border.

I can read the blog, but they did something different and I can't see the map today.

I noticed that Diego has been trying very hard to turn over the last couple of days, and I saw him turn from his back to his belly (eventually) last night, and now I just saw him do it again. I guess that isn't all butter fat he's carrying.....

movin said...


I sometimes follow the S. D. Chargers, who have done pretty well so far this season.

They've got some important players down already, and they're hosting the Dolphins today ... should be a very interesting game.

Jim

T-Bird said...

I'll for sure root for the Chargers for you today. Is LT healthy?

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Eagle Gang,
It was foggy here again this morning, but the sun has burned through, and it promises to be hot and steamy. Since it was much cooler earlier, I was out doing some much-needed trimming and pruning in the back yard. When the sun burned through, was forced to come inside.
Our new resident Mockingbird gave us a nice concert early this morning! Gosh, it's nice to have one back. I was surprised that the sparrows, house finches, and Mourning doves all came down to the patio feeders to get some breakfast while I was busy pruning roses. They must've been really hungry!
Margy, hope you are able to get your computer straightened out! Prayers for techie wisdom!
Well, gotta do more Anatomy homework--hope to get to go to a movie this afternoon, if I can get enough of it done. Have a great day, and I'll be back later to check in. Oh--Judie, your lunch sounds really interesting! Hope we all get an update later!

WOW! 27 - up for Ravens now.......
Didn't really think there would be much competition with the Browns.
We'll take that WIN !

Hi T-Bird!

T-Bird said...

hey Mema Jo-yeah a win is a win!

Mema Jo said...

magpie said...

Hi T-Bird, Mema Jo, Loretta, Shirley, Andrea, Jim...uh, did I miss anyone ?

Saw Megan today at market, once again she is as pretty as, no make that, prettier than, her posies!

I got two nice bouquets at her stand, amd then from a few other marketeers, two tomatoes, one mum, and one "Chocolate Chip Ajuga" plant.

Get this: the mum is orange colored, and has a stake in it with a name: "Warm Megan" !

I didn't see that until I got home...

magpie said...

So my PC didn't crash in my absence. I appreciate all the computer advice and am making copies of the various posts.

Lots of drama at PRP Loretta, sorry to hear of all this....I think we were on or near that boardwalk on our Field Trip, right?

magpie said...

But I know you are out digging and that is probably what I should be doing also...time to get the Fall Stoop ready here ☺

Saw the milkweed pods again, and those little orange and black bugs, are now Adult Milkweed Bugs, with the coloring that shows up in Google...I will post pictures later.

magpie said...

That Norwalk Car Show that Hedgie mentioned and is at, is one I dearly wanted to go to, and take the grandson...but I ended up being on call for work and I can't make plans that I can't unmake quickly.
:(

magpie said...

JO
If we had finished the adoption papers, you adopting me, I could have done many things differently this week-end as a kid...including going to Catonsville for the Mass and breakfast....Dang! ☺ ♥

magpie said...

Judie

Wah, I am confused again. I thought this was Sunday, but the Eagle Cam Daily "Open Up" page says this is Friday !

magpie said...

"I've done expended all my energy" with my last few posts...got to go do laundry and make a second BLT -

BBIALW xox

magpie said...

Andy
In my city neighborhood in the mornings, I have crows, blue jays, and Carolina Wrens, and some over-winter Canada Geese flying this way and that a'honking like crazy.
I love those morning sounds, but would love to have a mockingbird in the mix too.

xo TTFN - really.....

Anne-Marie said...

Hi family, guess where I am.? Im in Shepherdstown.Bill drove straight through. We will be here today and tomorrow for lunch. We are now going to the pub and listen to music. There is live Irish music playing,.If you need me my number is 916-837-0030. We would love to see anyone that can make it. Sorry this is last minute but I have no control. We are at the Clarion.

magpie said...

Great Anne-Marie

The skies have opened up and are pouring out sunshine - I think you brought it with you! Oh enjoy yourself....wish I could be there, cannot either today or tomorrow -

Mema Jo said...

Got the call from Anne. I'll be calling you locals....... 12 noon lunch tomorrow at Rumsey.

magpie said...

Well, It is RED's Birthday Monday, so maybe you can propose a toast - especially since he has to spend the day getting his gallbladder removed - someone needs to celebrate his birthday

Mema Jo said...

On FB there have been lots and lots of good b-day wishes and prayers for the removal of his gall bladder! E-Cards could have the send date of Today - he may not feel like opening them tomorrow.

Mema Jo said...

If you can meet for lunch with AnneMarie send email to Wanda or myself.
12 noon lunch Clarion

I wanted an idea to send names to
NCTC for security in case we go over.

Margy and Dana are not available. :<(

deb said...

Only get 1/2 hour for lunch on Sunday's, if I had looked I would have brought my lunch. I'll check in later.

Mema Jo said...

I had called Dana - Ed answered the phone and he really did sound great!
Joking about getting ready to watch his
Steeler's game. I know he sounded
perky due to sitting on the couch and behaving himself! Really really good to hear his voice!

stronghunter said...

Nobody is saying anything about the Redskins. Maybe it is better that way.

Mema Jo said...

I wonder what movie Andrea went to see?

'Meatballs' wins at box office for a second straight Sunday

stronghunter said...

Enjoy your lunch tomorrow, Jo, Ann-Marie, and everyone else who will be there.

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Shirley - be thinking about you!

Lolly said...

Have fun at your lunch tomorrow. Not too much laughter, now!!!

Having sort of a down day here. Jack opened the paper and saw where a friend of his had been killed Saturday while out riding his bike. NOT the way to learn of such, nor the way to start the day. He was 55, a VP at Lockheed/Martin. A great guy with two sons still in college. He was a very good friend, a member of the group that gets together to each lunch every other week.

Laurel is really sick. Times like this I sure wish she was not an hour away. She does have Joey and her MIL, if she will get off her tush and help!!! (Excuse me!)

stronghunter said...

Have you and Anne-Marie met before?

Lolly said...

Eat....not each!!!! Ahhhhh!

Lolly said...

Yes, I met AM last year.

stronghunter said...

I guess you have. Looks like she was at the get-together in 2007.

Lolly said...

Met her brother and her sister in law. We sat at the same table for dinner and then we were all in the group that went on the train ride. After the train ride we had lunch. More fun!

Lolly said...

On the Eagle Express last year..Jack and myself, Norma and her daughter, Paula, Deb, Anne Marie, her brother and sister in law. Did I leave anyone out?

stronghunter said...

Anne-Marie definitely gets around.

Lolly said...

My high light of the trip last year was after the train ride. That evening we met Deb and Paula at the nest. And there we spent time looking at Belle and Lib in the tree. I was so excited! Had not seen them at the nest on Saturday and open house.

stronghunter said...

That would be really exciting,Lolly.

stronghunter said...

I wish you could be there again this year, Lolly.

NatureNut said...

WOW, eagle back at BWO!

NatureNut said...

Double WOW! Just read back and see Anne-Marie is at Clarion!!Welcome to East coast!! I take it you probably won't be around for next month's Open House. I would come for lunch, but I'm sure the warden would have a fit about going there 2 times so close together.Anne-Marie and her brother, SIL, Lolly & Jack, Ed & Dana were all at our table last year & Deb was close by. Not sure what table.

Judie said...

Well, here I am back again.

Margie, I'm sorry I got confused - I guess it is still Friday -- wish that were true as I need many more hours to prepare for school next week. Too much time lost this weekend doing other stuff.

Lunch was fun. Was reminded why I didn't like govt work -- too many cooks in the kitchen who don't know a pot from a pan.

Shirley, preparing first midterms.

Lolly, so very sorry Laurel is so sick. Prayers that she recovers very, very soon. She would, for sure, if you were there.

Shirley had a good observation about someone coming in new and reading the blog -- would surely wonder about the Trojan virus. Reminds me of when I thought Boris was an inappropriate blogger.

Hope those lunching tomorrow have a wonderful time -- ENJOY!

Off to try to get the kinks out of my shoulders from sitting at the computer writing questions. Not all that hungry as lunch was late.

Later,
Judie

NatureNut said...

Just read way back & I made a stupid comment about Deb's animals, thinking they were vegetarians. I was thinking beavers, & she mentioned raccoons!!! DUH
Got my burgandy mum planted, but didn't help the Deadskins. Boy, are they flat---Fubby thinks Zorn will be gone. I have more faith.
Went and got some steamed crabs, so better get cracking.
Maybe I can send Red a combo card ☺

magpie said...

I think, there might be two side by side at BWO, kinda hard to tell...

hedgie said...

Good evening. Haven't caught up yet, but just hearing on news that Loretta's shopping center was evacuated for another gas leak...luckily, explosion was prevented by fast FF response!!! They said this would have been worse than the one that took out her favorite Ledo's!

magpie said...

I just want to know if you saw the GM bus, Hedgie...and hope you got pictures ! I wanted to go see it, very much, saw a little pic on a flyer we had at the office.

magpie said...

Judie, I wish for both you AND I that it was still Friday, I could use another couple of days off. Back to the grind in the morning.
early. as in 0600.

magpie said...

Oh boy, here is an entertaining tale:
guy in Martinsburg breaks into a house, steals some things including two expensive diamond rings. Dummy decides to check his Facebook on the victim's computer while he is inside stealing. Forgets to log off !! Guess who got caught....
this was in August, so it is old news...

magpie said...

And here is something else entertaining. The other night when I couldn't sleep I started wondering why most dinner plates are round, so I looked up Square Dinner plates on ebay, and found some beautiful samples.
Went to the Rescue Mission store Saturday (cheaper prices than Goodwill) and found a lovely, Mikasa International Ivory plate, flower design, for 50-cents!!! Checked ebay again for prices, cheapest single plate on there like this was at least 9 dollars.
I am one happy thrift shopper.

Lolly said...

Margy, that is so funny! He was definitely a facebook addict. lol

Loreeda....think of me this year at open house! Sure wish I was going to be there, sitting beside you again.

Thank you, Shirley! I certainly wish I could be there. You are going to LOVE meeting everyone and I will be there next year! Wahoo!

magpie said...

But my best bargain was today, at Megan's flower stand....astoundingly beautiful flowers, and it was fun pulling out my special vases to put them in.


TTFN things to do....
Hey - good chance to see ISS tonight in Berkeley County, hope it is dark enough to view:
check for your area:
ISS Flyover times

AND, we might finally see the moon, already at half full...☺

magpie said...

Lolly, sorry about Laurel's illness and the death of Jack's friend....glad Jack has you there for comfort....
Yes, we will miss having you at Open House and the dinners

Judie said...

Lolly, please accept my apology for an oversight and also accept my sympathy for the death of Jack's friend and yours. Prayers for all.

Margie, cops love a stuuuuupid criminal -- makes for an easy collar.

Later,
Judie

Judie said...

I AM NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE REDSKINS!

Mema Jo said...

What Skins?

hedgie said...

Deb was at my table last year, along with Mits, Ceil, Mary Margaret, Sissy, Mattie and Suz. Think that was A-M's 2nd year attending! She is a lot of fun---will enjoy tomorrow's visit.

Loretta, sorry about the beaver drama....sad. Now you know you won't resign! You love your job too much---and you know how we all envy you!

Lolly said...

All right! Who knocked me off? Was that you Lynn? I typed a paragrah and then got the conficting post notice. I think it was you Lynn! LOL

Lolly said...

What I said, before I was interrupted was......no need to apologize Judie!

I also had a prayer request. We are due to leave next Sunday, with Jacob, for New Mexico. We do not want him to catch Laurel's bug now, nor on the trip. This is a trip that has been planned for years!

Lolly said...

Love you, Lynn! Hope you know I am only kidding and giving you a hard time.

hedgie said...

Lolly, so sorry that Jack had to find out about his friend that way---please give him as well as yourself my sympathy. And praying that Laurel gets over her bug quickly. Is it respiratory or intestinal? Guess teachers are susceptible to alot of stuff goung around. Poor girl.

hedgie said...

Norma, saw both of those interviews this morning. Thanks for heads up.

hedgie said...

Yep, Margy, saw the bus and the Norwalk and got pics! Very cool! Even got to sit in the drivers' seat of the Futurliner---high up there---almost more like a locomotive!

stronghunter said...

Lolly, somehow I read right over the news in your post earlier. I am so sorry about the death of Jack's friend, and I do hope Laurel gets better soon. I think you must have posted it while I was typing my next message.

Lolly said...

It is respiratory, fever, aches, gunk...sounds like the flu. She is going to the doctor tomorrow. Several teacher are out, one school in our area has closed as so many were absent. The school gives the teachers free flu shots, but they have not done it yet. They should have doen it much earlier!!!

Costume Lady said...

I was just gong to chat a bit, but see it is time for 60 minutes, then the Amazing Race. Guess I will hold off til later.

Lolly said...

Hi and bye,Wanda!

Costume Lady said...

My Mom's doctor office DOES NOT have any flu vaccine and don't know when they will get any. First time in the 12 years that I have been her care-giver. I'm going to check with the Health Dept. tomorrow and see if they have a supply.

hedgie said...

Oh, Lolly, of course I know you are just teasing!
Definitely prayers that Jacob won't get sick!

Margy, read that stoopid criminal story! DUH!!!
Congrats on your good buy!

stronghunter said...

As Will just commented, it takes a special kind of genius to break into someone's house and leave your facebook account open. Right up there with giving someone you're robbing your name so they can write you a check.

hedgie said...

Margy, didn't see any sign of Freddie Gantt---forgot to ask Bill if he's heard anything new on his condition. Can't remember if he had said the cancer was back in the brain or metasticized someplace.

magpie said...

MEMA JO :

Thank you so much for reporting on your phone call to Dana, and speaking with ED ! That was a cheerful message....glad to hear he was enjoying his afternoon ☺

magpie said...

Hedgie...I sincerely hope someone got a picture of you in the driver's seat! I am so glad the weather improved for today's activities, yesterday sure was rainy....love love love those old cars!

magpie said...

I wonder how long Ceil's computer is going to be out, and what made it crash!

hedgie said...

WANDA---Health Department giving flu shots 1-3:30 on Mondays and 9am-3pm on Fridays. Swine flu vacc not in yet. Probably by middle of Oct.
Also, reg. flu shot being given at Walgreens weekdays. I will stop in there tomorrow on way back from lunch!

magpie said...

Lynn, you saw Fred's picture in the Week-ender section of the paper Thursday, right? I sure hope he can beat this illness...

hedgie said...

Margy, Christie was going to take a pic of me, but wind-blown effect was not conducive to my desire to be photographed!!! They also had a Blackhawk helicopter that, along with the crew present, had served in Iraq. It left while we were there, and got pics of it in the air.

magpie said...

Oh one time local law enforcement agency (won't name it) was given a call for a burglar alarm at a residence in the Woods Resort. Dispatcher for that agency called the residence, spoke with a gentleman who said it was an accidental set off....and police did not go. Guess What! Dispatcher was talking with the burglar ! We don't have that privilege of calling where I work...except in unusual circumstances which I can't name...

Duh, double Duh....

magpie said...

I understand completely Hedgie...so glad you got the experience anyway...would love to have been there, and seen the Blackhawk and met the crew...
makes my heart skip a beat just hearing about it....

magpie said...

Moon already out of course....remember, if skies are clear Tuesday Sept 29 - Moon and Jupiter will be paired up nicely....after sunset....

magpie said...

One of my favorite crime-stopper stories occured in PA last year. Man broke into elderly lady's house, she grabbed her gun, help the burglar at gunpoint and made HIM call 9-1-1 - I love it !

Mema Jo said...

Lolly Depending what the Dr says it is that Laurel has --- ever consider taking Jacob home with you?

magpie said...

HELD the burglar at gunpoint that is, sorry

stronghunter said...

Speaking of stupid criminals, one of my neighbors in Columbus tried to rob a grocery store. He had the store manager and gunpoint, and the manager asked to make a phone call. He said okay, so the manager called the police and they came and arrested the robber.

Mema Jo said...

Wild Watch cams streaming video of the Burrowing Owls and the Eagles MT nest

Mema Jo said...

10:00 tonight is COLD CASE........

magpie said...

Okay I am getting ready to go out and look for -3.4 brightness ISS, (7:34 pm start transit time here for m e ) - and for those who have never looked, you just orient yourself to the direction it shows, in my case it is WNW - and at some point you will see a nice zippy yellow round thing start across the sky - no blinking lights, and it will sail across out of sight....
Hope some of you can see it

Back in a few....xoxo ☺

hedgie said...

Criminals are stupid to begin with because they think they won't get caught! And then some are SO stupid that they help authorities nab them!! LOL! Gotta love little ol' ladies!
Yes, saw the pic in the Weekender, Margy...he looked better in it than he did the last time I saw him in person.
Sure would love to be invited to his house for a gander at the view!!

hedgie said...

As for the SKINS.....all I can say is they deserved to lose---didn't use Cooley until the end form what SIL said, plus letting Jon Jansen go and he's with Detroit now...I do think it's time for Snyder to give Zorn the boot.
Congrats, Ravens fans!!!

hedgie said...

Think I'm going to the sofa and try to catch a panda nap before Cold Case comes on. It's been a long day with a lot of walking in the wind---wears me out big-time. And handicapped parking is a joke----front row parking but still forever and a mile away from the site.

magpie said...

Well, that was a GOOD flyover...a little more darkness would have been nice...but I'll take it. It takes a few viewings to get the hang of where it is going to come from, in this case, was pretty much due West but partly North, and went across the sky SSE - went straight thru between the Moon and Jupiter. Sometimes it seems a little DUI in its path, and when it starts to get away from the sun's glare it starts to turn reddish and then Poof! out like a light bulb.

Well, that is all my yakking for awhile, got to go take care of a couple of errands away from the house.

TTFN Good Sunday Evenings to You'uns.

Me too Hedgie, bet the view is outta sight!
