Very slow Friday night... not much time spent talking with Mel, or doing much of anything, really. She has been in the hospital for observation.. I'm going in to see her this morning. With any luck she'll be released. (an X-Ray/MRI this morning will tell if she can go.) Apparently she's feeling a lot better, her chest has cleared up, and is feeling tougher.

Once I switch my techs over, it'll probably be out the door with me.





How evil are you?




Amazing pictures of an ice formed from a lake's Water spray in Geneva.



Moment of Lyric -
We will sink and
We will swim
Til' the ocean turns to sand
We will laugh
We will cry
Til' there's no more breath inside
Cause we will sink
But we will swim


Man peed way out of avalanche (posted everywhere, but I'm going to want to read this in a year.)

A Slovak man trapped in his car under an avalanche freed himself by drinking 60 bottles of beer and urinating on the snow to melt it.

Rescue teams found Richard Kral drunk and staggering along a mountain path four days after his Audi car was buried in the Slovak Tatra mountains.

He told them that after the avalanche, he had opened his car window and tried to dig his way out.

But as he dug with his hands, he realized the snow would fill his car before he managed to break through.

He had 60 half-liter bottles of beer in his car as he was going on holiday, and after cracking one open to think about the problem he realized he could urinate on the snow to melt it, local media reported.

He said: "I was scooping the snow from above me and packing it down below the window, and then I peed on it to melt it. It was hard and now my kidneys and liver hurt. But I'm glad the beer I took on holiday turned out to be useful and I managed to get out of there."

Parts of Europe have this week been hit by the heaviest snowfalls since 1941, with some places registering more than ten feet of snow in 24 hours.

I'm glad to see she's out now...and I hope she doesn't have to go again!

I knew she was very sick...but with what exactly?

poor Mel. I was getting worried too, it was going on for quite awhile. Oh well at least she has you to nurse her back to health. You should give her backrubs

Backrubs, soup, flowers and an outpouring of mending vibes.

Dr. Scotto is on the job!

Like your stuff a lot. Got hooked on your style with your word search on "Hulk." Spent more time that I should checking your several sites. I'm close to twice your age, but you communicate well across the spectrum. My stuff is at www.wkatckm.blogspot.com and deals with education, which you obviously have a bunch.
My e-mail is wkerby@comcast.net. Years ago I wrote a euphimism that has belped me. "All problems are love problems." You seem to understand.

Glad she is getting the Scotto lovins she needs and the medical attention as well.. I look at those ice pics and I flash back to growing up in the spring time back home.. when the ice would PACK Conception Bay and we would spend hours trying to knock an icicle off an ice flow with rocks.. Or trying to undermine an ice shelf from shore so it would collapse and make the whole ice pan shift..

Dangerous.. sure.. But everyone knows you are immortal as a kid..
