It's unpredictable..some years we have had snow in late Octobler..some not until January..we have had a couple of near misses for n'oreasters...another one maybe Sunday..we never know

Hey, this is beautiful, really lovely. so nice, yummy. No snow?You've got storms and pounding rain,I hear,and "what's that,in Los Angeles??" huge mud slides?yow. We'll be getting snow at some time this winter,in Oregon,and I'm not looking forward to it,the state goes into heart attack, like it's WW3 or something. WA state next to us, has heavy snow all the time, their schools buses all have tire chains. Lovely picture,thanks for doing it. :)

thanks DBE, yes we have had a lot of rain and one night there was thunder and lightning which is unusual for this area. Washington does get a lot of snow as long as you are not on the coast. My brother lives in Lake Stevens and has a fantastic view of the Cascade Mountains. The Wenatchee area usually gets the first snow fall on Holloween. I love the snow as long as I don't have to drive in it, it's no fun putting on chains. Do you live inland or on the Oregon coast? I have noticed a change in the smell of the air just before it snows, have you or David noticed that?

Awwwww...re re?...tee hee... ;-)

Yup alright!

I'm in the bath on my phone, but when I'm done I'll check it out.

thanks Miss DJ

Very beautiful, thank you. :)

thanks DBE

I really like this a lot and of course, knew it was yours!

Strangely enough, my sister has an area rug in her dining room that has a pattern very similar to this....also cats never learn..that's why curiosity killed the cat...:-)

I saw this, and said, "wow, really nice abstract."Thanks, it's soothing alright.

Hm..."big brother is watching you" is a problem now; my friend in St. Joseph, Michigan, says in that area,they have spy cameras everywhere all the time, on the whole place, taking security surveillance. Ugh. Supposed to be, so they catch crime. Still, it sounds lousy.

The other thing that contributes to all this friction, is the world is too SMALL NOW. Everyone wants the same land, the same resources, the same food, the same work, jobs, manufacturing. There are too many people, and too few of those resources. What international experts are afraid of, is WW3 would come because all the biggest nations want the same oil, and we'll all go to war, to get it. I guess we are already.

On the other hand, global warming may solve our problems; the weather and lack of land, (due to flooding) and lack of useable water, will get rid of a lot of the population. They expect the hot areas to turn into deserts, and the cold area,s to get colder and colder, and wetter. The planet is getting a lot less habitable. So, that may whittle down the populations. At least the wars might get smaller.

I meant God is always watching.

Ahh, "God".He/she/it/them means different things to different people; but it is pretty much the same God. (I just heard the most perverse David Letterman "Top Ten signs it's xmas time in NYC", ha ha, pretty bad.) Those of us who are older,even in their 50;s or 60's, have to start thinking about "what's it going to be like,to die,and be dead?What happens? Where do i go??" and it's on my mind, once in a while. if you had a really tough life, and it looks like a lot of people here, have, then you might ask, "Ok, I had a tough life,it was hard,and now I'm going to die; PHOOEY!!"

I have decided, before I kick the bucket some day, to go to a good hypnotist,with a friend along,and try to find out if there is any factual evidence to the theory of re-encarnation or not. Yeah, try to "get regressed." If there is nothing there, upstairs, except me, fine. But if there are any past lives, I just want to know about them. It's something I've always been curious about, so I think I'll do that, just "look to see if anything else is there." Then, I can go with my curiosity satisfied.

Thanks you blackmagicwoman and davincipoppalag. :)

So cuuute! :D

never met a puffin I didn't like! This guy's no exception!

Thats when the site got hacked, and Marcello sent an email out to everybody who joined the site before a certain date. Either they or marcello must of accessed their account to change their passwords.

Oh yeah? Ya think yer so cool, hay?

Oh I see this was meant to be a trap for the hacker, and I fell straight in it. That would have been cool if it had worked.
