Heading out to rehearsal....should be light tonight....we shall see.

[bk]

Rehearsal was lots of fun.  We concentrated on the patter today - smoothed out some, added a joke or two and worked on natural delivery.  Then she sang through everything, too. 

[bk]

Of course, I gave Melody a mid-act standing ovation.  She was visibly moved.

[bk]

Now I shall go pick up mail and see what I want to eat.

Meanwhile on the Missouri, houses are sliding into the river north of Bismark..

They sounding the sirens now in Minot for people in the zones to get out


Jane, they zoo was completely evacuated last week and the animals in holding areas outside of teh city and regional zoos in Fargo, Sioux Falls, Minneapolis and St Paul.

Both zoo and the people will need help

That's amazing...and not the good kind.

I know what you mean.... I had coffee with a freind this afternoon and we both survived the 1997 flood in Grand Forks and the water going over the dike reminded of us when the dikes were topped in Grand Forks in the Lincoln Park neighborhood.

[DakotaCelt]

Minot had managed to dodge two earlier crests and was holding it own but no one and I mean no one could forcast a rainstorm in southeastern Saskatchewan that dumped 7 to 10 inches of rain inot the river basin over a wide area.

HOuge Island north of Bismarck.... The power of water is awesome and scary

Happily, I'd already done the jog, so I had a couple of tuna sandwiches for my meal o' the day.

How a zoo can be evacuated is mind boggling.  It is nice to know it can be done.

they have, animals are farmed out all over the place. I think also there was assistance because the four zoos in ND are part of the Endangered species and SSP programs through the smithsonian and San Diego Zoos.....

I am happy that the Giraffes are safe they are hangin' in Fargo

Vibes and prayers for everyone along the Mighty Missouri River!

[Jane]

Overall it has been a cool Spring here but Summer seems to have arrived on time.  I prefer it not get too warm as it is hot under my splint, thankfully it is now removable.  I'm cooling off at the moment before using it again.

I must head down to T-Mobie as I can't seem to get this new fangled phone, I think it is called a Sidekick and it has an android or something like that in it....anyway, I can't answer phone calls on it, it stopped connecting to the internet and I can't figure out how to get the ringtone that I downloaded to the phone to actually play when the phone rings.

Keith had a Sidekick and disliked it very much.

The instruction booklet has absolutely NO information in it! And my previous phones have all been used for nothing but simple phone calls.

The lady at T-Mobile did show me how to answer calls...while I was trying to press the "phone call" button, you are actually supposed to "swipe" it in sort of a swooshing movement with your finger...who knew?

And to download and use a ringtone, you have to us a particular phone app. I downloaded Zedge (or something like that), found the ringtone I had previously downloaded, and now it IS my ringtone.

and lastly, I need to stop "fixing" my settings...something I clicked on cut  off the phone's internet capability....somehow....

MBarnum, my new phone makes phone calls. That's about it. I love it. It has large print.

[Laura]

It is 110 in the shade here. Which explains why I am in the house.

[MBarnum]

More flooding vibes being sent out. How scary.

Ya, the only reason I went for this fancy phone with internet is so that I wouldn't have to buy a new laptop to then lug around Los Angeles and New York when I go on vacation. Particularly in Los Angeles, I need to be able to map out where I need to go and how to get there, and this phone can do that for me.

And now that I have figured out these last couple of things, I am much more happy with my phone....plus I can listen to Bollywood radio stations 24/7 if I should like to.

[MBarnum]

Here is my ringtone (well, the music video to the song that is now my ringtone.)

You may want to skip reading the unholy messages from idiots, posted below the video, however.

[Jane]

When I got my new phone it also came with a pamphlet that was pretty much useless.  T-Mobil told me this is common now to save money & suggested I call the phone manufacturer for a detailed pamphlet.

Keith & I are going to the neighbor's house for wine & snacks.

And people wonder why I've had the same cell phone for more than six years!

[George]

However, I did get this phone because at the time, this was one of the few that owners could make their own ringtones...but only with a separate program that cost about $35 or so, and a required specific kind of data cable that cost an additional $40.  But it was worth it.

Evening greetings.  It's a balmy 63 degrees and rainy here in Siouxland.

[Cillaliz]

DR Elmore, I take that class with you!!

[Cillaliz]

I am debating about taking off tonight from dealing with the basement.  It's not going anywhere and I'm throwing out the carpet, so if it's damp another day, it's damp another day.
