Went to see "Singing in the Rain" at the Starlight Theater in Balboa Park, San Diego, CA, which is outdoors and lies under the flight path of the Airport there. Every time a jet flew over, the music and actors would freeze till it had passed. Rain not being as big of a concern in San Diego.

Singing in the train?

This is on the metro/subway/underground in Oslo. I guress Metro is the best name for it as most of it is not actually under ground (just 17 stations out of 101).

Strange you would say something like that.
10 Best Fruits and Vegetables for Dogs

"Cantaloupe for dogs will help with your canine’s eyesight. Plus cantaloupes are loaded vitamin A and lots of beta carotene, which helps reduce the risk of cancer and prevents cell damage. It’s also a good source of vitamins B-6 and C, fiber, folate, niacin and potassium."

....and especially effective at producing room clearing, eye watering intestinal wind.

I'm sure, Charlie, I'm sure. But we're talking about the dogs now.

So same rules as ghoti?

Yep I agree with a lot of Mr Shaw's views on English, but I think the Shavian alphabet is taking things a bit far. I like the idea, but it's not a very realistic approach to replace the latin alphabet.

Our puppers (pair o' Golden Retrievers) will eat darn near anything. They LOVE melons of all sorts.

My Tervuren was of a skeptical disposition. Throw him a piece of meat, some sweets, anything, and he would never try catching it, just let it fall on the floor, sniff it, then eat it. Unless you threw him some orange or clementine - then he would catch it in mid-air. I'm not even sure it would touch his tongue on the way down

I make treats for our yellow lab.
1 quart plain no fat yogurt
1 or 2 bananas
2 TBS peanut butter
2 TBS honey
blend, mix, whatever, pour into small cups and freeze.

I'd like to have some.

I was thinking something more on the "natural" side of things....a canyon, a mountain, a nature trail, etc ;-)

Mount Sunflower, highest point.

They have a distorted view of what a mountain is in Kansas.

It's as much fun as getting folks to pronounce Puyallup properly

Puyallup was next on my list.

It has always surprised me how much difficulty people have with the easy ones, like Snohomish, Yakima, Quillehuyte, and Wahkiakum.

I understood for those who don't speak Welsh, the pronouncing properly the names of places in that language can be somewhat

" challenging "

"Welsh place names are often based on words that describe a landmark or feature of the countryside. Therefore with a knowledge of modern Welsh you can often guess the location of a village, or the character of a mountain from its name. What you may see as a jumble of letters is often, in reality, vividly descriptive. There are some examples of local place-names and their meanings at the bottom of this page. . . .

WALES’S LONGEST PLACE NAME
The longest place name in Wales and the world’s longest railroad station name is:

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantisiliogogogoch

which translates as The Church of St Mary in the Hollow of the White Hazel Near the Fierce Whirlpool and the Church of Tysilio by the Red Cave. "

Seems to me whoever transcribed those indian names either was dyslectic or suffered from APD - or both

firm believer in Murphy's Law

any thing that can go wrong will go wrong

and Finnigan's corollary to it

Murphy was an optimist

so I plan to adapt as necessary

comes from being a " pre 69 cub fan "

there is a glass of beer but not a full glass

the optimist sees it as half full

the pessimist sees it as half empty

the Cub fan looks at it and wonders

when will it get knocked over
