It's...

Tumbleweed Day

Prairie tumbelweeds are really Russian thistle - hitchhiking its way to the U.S. during the 1800s inside bags of imported Russian grain. Farmers happily planted it. They thought it would make good livestock feed, but... wrong. Besides blowing down the highway, tumbleweeds are only good for creating that "Southwest" look.

Well, howdy hi, pardners - this is the third Tumbleweed Day that we've celebrated together! Amazing - we're building a global village here.

(So who volunteers to be the village idiot?)

Charlotte wants to know where all her fans are:



Princess Parrotfish:

morning rusty and annie...awefully quite this morning...doing my volunteer stint this morning, i hope it doesn't start raining again, it is the whale festival, and i am sure all the activities yesterday were cancelled, it would be nice to see some of the booths and such this morning...we will see!

Cynde Loo Hoo Badoo! You sure keep yourself busy - especially with your honey gone to boot camp. There must be little question marks over the doggies' heads, wondering where Daddy is!

Not much on cam this morning - so I've been bopping around the web looking for animations. Care2 has lots of funny cards for St. Patrick's Day tomorrow.

rusty...the poor doggies are depressed, especially geezela...not many "woo woos" from her...they pretty much mope around all day (or at least that is my interpretation of their "usual mope!") last night i said "where's daddy" and they get all excited and run for the door...it was heartbreaking!

Good morning all,

Cynde what's with all the name changes? Had to keep checking the profile to see if you were the same person.
Knee is on the mend. I still haven't entered any Hop-Scotch tournaments yet.

Hiya Rusty and Cynde. It was such a nice warm sunny day here today, it reached 60 degrees at one point. We went for a trip to our local garden centres. It is so nice to walk round them on a day like today. 1 1/2 miles of beautiful flowers, shrubs trees and lots of other things too. I came home with six new cactus plants. Trev nearly dropped one, and instead of letting it drop, he caught it and got loads of spikes in his hands. Annie B.

bob, i have been going through some sort of metamorphasis the last week with my better half in cape may new jersey, coast guard reserves...although, i think that this one is going to stick for a while

Cynde Coocoocacho???

Is this an I am the Walrus reference?

How you all doing today?

Cynde. I think that secretly you are a chameleon. LOL. Annie B.

He could have cleaned the lense for us.

Mid day visitor

Cynde,

My sympathy on the separation. Like Texas, it's tough on women and dogs. Hope he is just out here to relieve the regulars for the summer silly season, and doesn't have to worry about anything more than an occasional operating under the influence,or locating the dummy that ran out of gas.

bob, the latter, no worry...reserve refresher! snork, yes, i am the walrus...i'm off to the institute...

hahahohoheehee

How long is he going to be in Cape May Cynde?

I was in India for a while and my wife and I used Instant Messaging to keep in touch, it helped a lot. I don’t know if he would have access to a PC at all, but if he does, it sure can help!

Annie - at least Trev has good reflexes!

Hi Bob! Hi Snork! Nice to have you stop by on a weekend. You can tell the Bonaire Addicts!

Satchmo and the Camblots:

snork, i'm stickin' with "coocoocacho"...that's my story and i'm stickin' to it! he comes home friday night...they have internet access, but they can only access the coast guard website! how bad is that! LOL! and we are the only one's in southern california without cell phones, so to call me, he has to wait in the pay phone line with all the new recruits!

ok, now i'm late...can they fire a volunteer?

Cynde, how about Cynde Boop-oop-a-doop?

If you're late - they may *volunteer* you for more duties - you better fly!

Glad it’s not too much longer Cynde, I know the pets must miss him too. Keeping busy is the best thing. Hope it clears up and you get to go out and play.

Hi Rusty! Yes, it’s hard for me to find time during the week, and when I finally do everyone’s gone to bed L. At least I still try to read through things here and there and try to see what’s going on.

I’m never going to get to 1,000 posts at this rate.

Snork, thanks again for the suggestion for my gif saving problem! Your a lifesaver !

My pleasure, glad I could help a fellow BTer.

RUSTY Satchmo and the Camblots sounds like a good name for a rock band. LOL Annie B.

Hi Guys, Haven't posted here for a while. Bob and I have been asked to go with Bob's dad to see the senior consultant at the hospital tomorrow. We are not expecting good news! We are just so glad we have got mum and dad into their new bungalow. If the news is bad at least they will be able to manage better.
On a brighter note, we are going to Amsterdam next weekend with our niece so we do have something to look forward to! Hope the weather is good. Do we have any Dutch friends who can send us a weather forecast later in the week?
LOL Julia

Our thoughts will be with you and your family tomorrow!

Is there something in the Bonaire water that makes your hair fall out?

Is it Saint Patrick's Day anywhere yet??

Jenni - looks like I may not go to Florida next month - what's your free time look like. Dates?

Divers above and below:

Julia, Good luck for tomorrow. I hope all goes well. Annie B.

I'm outta here for a while. Gotta grab some grub, and watch some tv. Catchya'll later. Annie B.

See ya, Annie! Go get your supplies ready for tomorrow - tap shoes, green beer, shamrocks, green beer and bagpipes. Oh, and green beer.

Got some action for you on the reef cam:

Night!

Hi Rusty, Well good news for me, even if not quite so good news for you.

I arrive Monday 21st April - Easter MOnday here in the UK. And then am at conference until the Sunday after. I am then free from Monday 28th all that week and go home, from Bradley on Friday 2nd May.

That mean you;'ve gone, Rusty?

Me and Kev looked at this sunset, and he just said "just think we've been there!". And we have!

Showing, or should I say showing off to Kev how I can make pretty pictures with my sunsets.

What you got in your hand, Linda?

We got busy and distracted, and missed the rest of the sunsets. Hope those of you who see the ones I did post enjoyed them as much as me.

Night NIght. I am off to my bed.
