I have always been fond of this painting:



It was painted by Ruby the Elephant at the Phoenix Zoo.

That looks like the one I have...is it Fire truck?

[George]

It's the only station where you can hear opera, country, jazz, blues, rock, comedy routines, book reviews, dramatic readings, and current indie pop music like Flight of the Conchords, My Morning Jacket, etc.

In this hour, they had a ukelele set, which included a musician I'll be seeing in concert in a few weeks, Jake Shimabukuro.

I don't remember if someone here originally posted this, but I came across THIS little ditty performed by Jake.  It's incredible!

[bk]

I forgot to mention the painting singdaw posted.  I'd never seen it, nor heard of the artist, but I haven't been able to stop looking at it.  As with the Sondheim/Lapine Sunday, I'm wondering what the stories on all these people are.

[Cillaliz]

I hope we hear from Cillaliz, Sioux City is within the "high-threat" area of the weather map.

Yes, the storms are popping up in Nebraska and heading this way.  They just announced on the news that because of the forecast they will likely be interrupting the finale of LOST and will rerun it in its entirety at 12:02 AM so that people can see it uninterrupted

[Cillaliz]

Der Brucer - The National Weather Service has issued tornado watch 387 and we are in it until 11:00 PM.   Suppose I should unplug the computers before I leave the office. That will really get Edith confused when she comes in tomorrow

[Cillaliz]

Time to pack up some work and head home....oh great we also have a flash flood watch.  

[DERBRUCER]

DR JENNIFER one gallon has about 3.7 litres.....so multiplying your price times THAT gives you the approximate equal amount.

If you are paying about $!.77 per litre, you are paying about $6.55 per gallon, which is higher than we are....today.

And I suspect she means Canadian $ - so it's really more - $6.64 US

Any body remember the nightmare when US stations tried to go metric in the seventies?

[DearReaderLaura]

Cillaliz, I believe that is a fire truck.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ to you storm-wise.
I am very afraid of midwest spring/summer weather. It's worse than heat!

Hey, Larry:

If you have a battery powered DVD player, you could watch TWISTER

Hey, Larry:

Fox News worker sues over bedbugs in NY office.

Well, I know how neurotic my neighbors were about getting them, but I think she's overreacting just a bit. She could have brought them in on her purse or clothing from riding a bus or subway.

GUSTAVE CAILLEBOTTE



Gustave Caillebotte (goos-TAWV kye-BAWT) (1848-1894) was a wealthy Parisian engineer who was one of the big shakers and movers of French Impressionism - his stuff is often called "Urban Impressionism".

Well, since DR TCB has already opened the door and started down that road...

How 'bout this - another of my favorites?  

Is it done on velvet?

[/i]

[TCB]

I take it Jose has MANY favorites.

And we aren't talking art.

You betcha!

I helped the DH change some light bulbs at his workplace last evening.  [No light bulb jokes, please!   ]

In any case, the church owns one of those "Giant Ladder" systems - I forget the exact name, but the ones you see on those infomercials.  I was quite impressed - it worked very well.  And to reach the top of the sanctuary, we had it extended as far as it would go!

What about the ladder?

Yes, actually I drew quite a lot when I was a kid. Never painted, however.

How about those coloring books that you could use a brush and water on to make the colors come out?

[FJL]

Plus a little thissa
And a little thatta
With an emphasis -
On the ladder

A ladder-day saint, he is

Today, I got two CDs featuring Elmar Oliveira, plus "The Red Balloon" DVD from Criterion.

[FJL]

They were talking about Treasure Trails on All that Chat yesterday.  Specifically the waxing of same on Matthew Morrison in South Pacific.  I assumed they were referring to his paycheck, right?
