Hi Mark,

 RH> moved here. Did you see the Coke and Mentos one a while ago? (G)

 ml> yup... i've also a "long" coke and mentos video that i'm considering
 ml> putting up in the gallery... it is quite a show... very much like a

I think I've seen it; Steve's got the better video set up on his
computer and we watched it once.  Waste of Coke if that's used, good
riddance to Pepsi if it's used. (G)


 ml> scripted fountain show like you might see in those las vegas water
 ml> fountains that are computer controlled...

We saw them at the Bellagio last September when we were visiting our
daughter & her family.  Steve's former company commander was in Vegas
for a few days with his parents so we met him one night to see the
fountain show and enjoy some crepes at the Paris--in one of the little
stands away from the floor action.  CO and I had the same choice in
chocolate/strawberry crepe; I think Steve had the mixed berry.  Anyway,
CO was on his way to train up for deployment & we were on our way out
here.

 ml> yeah... in bermuda, there are/were frogs/toads that could easily kill
 ml> a dog... i'm aware that there are some pretty unsafe critters out
 ml> there O:)

 RH> No matter where you go you'll encounter some nasty or other. Hawaii
 RH> had those and centipedes; AZ had rattlers, scorpions and suchlike;
 RH> here in Georgia we've got various snakes etc, etc.

 ml> yep... i was raised down in albany... i don't care what anybody says,
 ml> there are rattlers in GA... i think we called them pine rattlers

Claxton had it's annual round up several weeks ago.  Everybody seems to
associate Claxton with fruit cakes but I guess there's a good number of
rattlers in the area too.  It's not too far from Savannah but we didn't
go; Steve doesn't like snakes any more than I do and I was still getting
over the foot surgery.

 ml> but... i remember a story my dad tells about going out to a shop one
 ml> "mounted" on a 1"x10" board about 10 or 12 feet long with the sides
 ml> wrapped around to the back of the board where they were tacked to hold
 ml> it in place... big, huge rattler!! i haven't heard how much meat they
 ml> got from it if they did that with it... it would hope so, though...
 ml> dad said that it was an older black man that told him the story and
 ml> that he was the one that had gone out on the call... this man said
 ml> that he _always_ closes the doors, now, when he goes out on a job and
 ml> also checks the interior of the cab very closely when he's going to
 ml> get back in it O:)

Shudder!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll make sure I check my seat if we go anywhere in
the boonies.  Then, too, the car is usually shut up and locked if we're
away from it.

 ml> [no, that's not a misspelling or typo :LOL:]

 RH> We aren't huge tv watchers; Steve comes across shows like that when
 RH> he's channel surfing.  I think his favorite channel is sci-fi; I
 RH> really don't have any but food network comes close.  We both like
 RH> Alton Brown's "Good Eats"--he made gyros a while ago which we've
 RH> had in various incarnations around the country (and world) so we

 ml> we'd get along pretty well, then... i'm almost always on sci-fi, food,
 ml> or one of the other "science" based channels... i'll catch the
 ml> national geographic channel some times and i'm always hitting up the
 ml> military channel... i've been watching the new weaponology and another

We have the bare basic cable so don't get the National Geographic or
military channels.  History and Discovery have had some shows recently
on weaponry and so on but we don't always catch them.  If Steve does
happen on one of them (and keeps it on), I'll usually tune out with a
book or head to the sewing machine or computer.  Are you planning to go
to the picnic this year?  If so, then when you meet Steve, you can
discuss sci-fi etc all you want. (G)


 ml> weapons show about the new military stuff... but sci-fi is pretty much
 ml> my mainstay... unless they've some horro stuff on that i can't fathom
 ml> how can be called science fiction :LOL:

I don't watch it anyway; never really cared for sci-fi or much fantasy.
Throw in horror and I'm completly out of there.

Catch you later,
