[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:28:21 PM] <DesertRose> My chorus had to shut down due to lack of money. I miss it even though I'm not really a very good alto unless I have someone strong to follow.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:28:22 PM] <Jemler> if you've got itt, flaught it.

[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:28:44 PM] <DesertRose> Or the chocolate chip cookies, Jemler.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:28:51 PM] <Alkari> Someone played the right tune
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:28:56 PM] <DesertRose> Guess so.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:29:07 PM] <Evie> Tomorrow is Duncan McLain's birthday, so I am working on a miniature cassock out of some silky purple fabric I had on hand
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:29:12 PM] <KK> Hello, troops. Sorry I'm late,but we had guests drop in at around 3 PM. They only left because they had to go to a Superbowl game party. For once, I'm glad for footbal.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:29:21 PM] <Evie> LOL
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:29:22 PM] <DesertRose> It's okay.

[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:29:35 PM] <Jemler> what year was duncan born in?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:29:35 PM] <KK> Bee, how did your surgery go?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:29:39 PM] <DesertRose> Thanks for coming in, KK.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:29:41 PM] <DesertRose> Hi Aerlys.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:29:42 PM] <Jemler> hi aerlys
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:29:46 PM] <Alkari> LOL - I wondered how many from the US were going to be heading off to football
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:29:47 PM] <Aerlys> Hey all
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:29:49 PM] <revanne> Thanks for the earlier time KK really appreciate it
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:29:49 PM] <drakensis> hi KK
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:29:56 PM] <Alkari> Hi Aerlys
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:29:59 PM] <Aerlys> perfect timing...
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:30:00 PM] <Jemler> 6pm est, it's only 5:30
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:30:01 PM] <revanne> Hi Aerlys
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:30:02 PM] <The_Bee> very well. I'm chatting from a rehab center.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:30:12 PM] <Jemler> bee?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:30:13 PM] <Aerlys> glad o hear it, Bee
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:30:26 PM] <KK> I was hoping the blizzard conditions up your way wouldn't interfere with the procedure.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:30:30 PM] <Alkari> that's good bee
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:30:32 PM] <DesertRose> KK just got here, Aerlys.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:30:46 PM] <drakensis> Jemler, Duncan was born 2nd Feb 1092
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:30:49 PM] <DesertRose> I was just telling her thanks for coming because she was apologizing for being a little late.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:31:02 PM] <The_Bee> the worst part of recovery was not having enough to read, so all I could think of was my aching hip.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:31:03 PM] <Aerlys> rest of the family is off to a friend's house to watch the game. I have a tummy bug, so I'm staying put.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:31:25 PM] <DesertRose> Tummy bugs suck. I just had one this week that I'm still not quite over.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:31:37 PM] <revanne> I guess there's a big game on?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:31:42 PM] <Jemler> WOW! That means that Duncan is 923 years old!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:31:50 PM] <DesertRose> The championship game of US football, revanne.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:31:53 PM] <revanne> Hope your tummy is better soon Aerlys
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:31:54 PM] <Annie> He looks good on it, doesn't he?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:32:11 PM] <drakensis> When 900 years old we are, look so good we shall not.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:32:15 PM] <Annie> Something called the Superb Owl, I believe.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:32:18 PM] <Aerlys> thanks, revanne
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:32:18 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, drakensis.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:32:19 PM] <The_Bee> I was in post-op when the blizzard started. We'll expecting mor tonight and tomorrow.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:32:22 PM] <KK> I trust that our lack of reading matter is being resolved, Bee.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:32:44 PM] <KK> your lack
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:32:52 PM] <Jemler> i'm re-reading the Wheel of Time.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:32:52 PM] <Alkari> You mean, 15 minutes where they actually play the ball and are active, and the rest is hugging each other, thinking ... and ad breaks.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:33:13 PM] <Evie> KK, in the Deryni Adventure Roleplaying game book, it appears that various priestly orders have different colors of cinctures, at least in Camber's day. (There's a very detailed description of the clothing worn by the Custodes Fidei, for instance.) Would this have carried down to Duncan's time? Are there particular colors he should be wearing in his cincture, or would he wear a plain white one? I've been alternating between wh
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:33:21 PM] <Evie> since he's rector of the Schola now
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:33:24 PM] <The_Bee> Yes. My sister brought me two, and the rehab center has some Stephen King novels.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:33:25 PM] <DesertRose> Pretty much, Alkari. A lot of people watch it for the creative advertisements.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:33:42 PM] <Annie> I think they stop the clock when the ball goes out of play, Alkari
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:33:43 PM] <Jemler> aka the cheerleaders!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:33:53 PM] <Alkari> I have exhausted my sporting viewing - watched the Australian Open tennis last night, with Murray vs Djokovic
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:33:54 PM] <DesertRose> Jemler: don't make me beat you with a trout.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:33:55 PM] <Annie> Not like in football/rugby.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:34:09 PM] <Jemler> of course they have Katy Perry for halftime.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:34:13 PM] <Aerlys> yeah, well, the Seattle Seahawks are playing. The rest of the time we have to suffer with the Mariners. Seatle couldn't even keep a basketball team.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:34:24 PM] <DesertRose> Football-to-the-rest-of-the-world moves a lot faster than US football.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:34:33 PM] <Jemler> at least it aint the steelers!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:34:38 PM] <Alkari> Also watched the One Day cricket final (England vs Aus) and the night before, we had the final of the Asian Cup Football with the Socceroos playing.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:34:48 PM] <DesertRose> My city is actually about to get a minor pro football-to-the-rest-of-the-world team.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:35:03 PM] <Alkari> I had my balcony doors open, and you could hear the cheers from all round the suburb when Australia scored.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:35:04 PM] <Annie> I don't think I've watched any sport since the London Olympics. :d
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:35:07 PM] <Annie>
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:35:09 PM] <DesertRose> Wow, Alkari.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:35:10 PM] <Jemler> rest-of-the-world football? oh, you mean SOCCER?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:35:26 PM] <Alkari> Yes - where they actually play FOOTball
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:35:28 PM] <DesertRose> Hey, everybody but us calls it football, and it honestly makes more sense to call that sport football.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:35:58 PM] <DesertRose> The football in US football isn't ball-shaped, and they don't do much with it with their feet.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:36:01 PM] <Aerlys> I agree, but what do you expect form Amercians?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:36:06 PM] <DesertRose> True, Aerlys.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:36:11 PM] <The_Bee> so what should we call the american game?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:36:19 PM] <DesertRose> No idea.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:36:25 PM] <drakensis> armoured handball
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:36:30 PM] <KK> As a bishop, Duncan would probably wear a cummerbund-type cincture, with fringes the same color as the cincture. Purple, with purple.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:36:35 PM] <Alkari> I once tried timing the 'action' in a US football game - and got to something like 30 seconds of action for every 5 minutes of hugging, group therpay and plotting
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:36:39 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, drakensis. That works.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:36:39 PM] <Aerlys> Armored-tackle ball?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:36:49 PM] <Alkari> Not to mention the ads.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:36:53 PM] <revanne> Rugby with body armour - if a Brit who doesn't really do sport can join in
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:37:08 PM] <DesertRose> It is somewhat close to rugby, yes.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:37:12 PM] <Evie> OK. Will start looking up pictures
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:37:17 PM] <The_Bee> They even have hows out the best superbowl ads.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:37:17 PM] <Alkari> It has NO resemblance to rugby
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:37:21 PM] <Annie> It's way closer to rugby than football.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:37:31 PM] <drakensis> in rugby you can only throw the ball backwards
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:37:35 PM] <Alkari> They throw the ball forward for once thing
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:37:38 PM] <DesertRose> True.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:37:44 PM] <Alkari> And in rugby they actually have proper scrums
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:37:45 PM] <Jemler> sensible names at least. what the devil is a manchester united with?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:37:57 PM] <Evie> Alkari, DH just LOL'd at your description of American football
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:38:02 PM] <Alkari> Not to mention they don't stop to huddle every 10 seconds
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:38:06 PM] <Evie> (we're not football fans either)
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:38:06 PM] <Annie> Not in league they don't, Alkari.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:38:12 PM] <DesertRose> My university had a rugby team, and they had t-shirts that read "Give blood. Play rugby."
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:38:35 PM] <Alkari> Annie, there is a difference between Rugby, and Rugby League
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:38:43 PM] <Aerlys> I'm not really a fan, but it's fun to get together with friends who are. After all, we don't really get out much.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:38:44 PM] <Kildara> Darn - I'm going to have to run. Having trouble with my Sunday evening schedule these days. KK, good to see you here. Sorry I couldn't stay. Maybe I'll be able to check back in before it's over.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:38:52 PM] <Alkari> I agree about the League scrums - they are scrums in name only
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:38:59 PM] <DesertRose> See you, Kildara. Have a good one.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:38:59 PM] Quit Kildara has left this server (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:39:08 PM] <Evie> KK, DD says Hi
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:39:12 PM] <Alkari> LOL at the DR rugby shirts
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:39:18 PM] <Jemler> what exactly is a cricket, other than a small insect?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:39:24 PM] <DesertRose> I don't care about US pro football, but I like collegiate (university) level US football.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:39:34 PM] <Alkari> A nice game that can go on for 5 days and not produce a result!!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:39:41 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, Alkari.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:39:46 PM] <Jemler> sounds like congress!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:39:49 PM] <drakensis> cricket is like baseball but with a straight line instead of a diamond
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:39:58 PM] <DesertRose> I had a British friend of mine try to explain cricket to me and got me totally lost.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:40:00 PM] <Evie> ROFL jemler
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:40:03 PM] <Alkari> But these days they have much shorter versions
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:40:07 PM] <revanne> Cricket is a way for the English to indulge in ritual humiliation
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:40:10 PM] <Aerlys> if congress only went on for five days we'd be better off, jemler
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:40:16 PM] <The_Bee> I'm always glad when a boston team wins omething, but aI don't always care to watch it happening
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:40:17 PM] <Jemler> how do you get a homerun in cricket?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:40:18 PM] <DesertRose> Might be, Aerlys.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:40:20 PM] <Alkari> LOL - that is what they did last night, revanne.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:40:25 PM] <Annie> Baseball is glorified rounders.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:40:49 PM] <The_Bee> Just the diagram of a cricket field confuses me.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:41:14 PM] <Alkari> LOL. How can you not love a game that has field positions such as 'silly point' and 'short leg'?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:41:20 PM] <DesertRose> BRB
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:41:30 PM] <Evie> here's Luke now, coming to trample on me and say hello
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:41:35 PM] <Annie> http://www.intermain.org.uk/john/what_is_cricket.php
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:41:36 PM] <Jemler> ok, then what's a googly?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:41:42 PM] <The_Bee> Hi Luke
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:41:44 PM] <Alkari> Hello Luke. * scritches him under chin*
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:41:46 PM] <revanne> Hi Luke
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:41:57 PM] <Annie> Cricket jostles with golf for the world's most boring sport.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:42:12 PM] <Jemler> golf wins
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:42:18 PM] <Alkari> it is a type of ball delivery that curves in an unexpected way, and that is difficult to detect from the bowlers hand when bowled
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:42:18 PM] <Aerlys> hands doen
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:42:27 PM] <Jemler> do they run in cricket?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:42:30 PM] <Alkari> Yes.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:42:39 PM] <Evie> I need to keep him away from the new tablet weaving loom I picked up at yesterday's SCA event, before he tries to "help" me weave trim
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:42:44 PM] <Alkari> Go watch a 20/20 match
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:42:53 PM] <Jemler> bowlers? i asked about a googly?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:43:11 PM] <Alkari> A bowler bowls a delivery called a googly!!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:43:25 PM] <KK> When Cameron was in school in Ireland, they played cricket--and he did, too. When I asked him once about how it was played, he said he hadn't a clue, that he just went and stood where they told him to, and tried to look busy if a ball came his way.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:43:38 PM] <The_Bee> There's cene in one of Dorothy L Sayers' novels in which Lord peter Wimsey scores 100 runs in a cricket game.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:43:43 PM] <Evie> LOL, KK
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:43:50 PM] <Alkari> Yes, in Murder Must Advertise
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:44:05 PM] <drakensis> Peter Death Bredon Wimsey is to cricket what Morgan is to swordsmanship.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:44:24 PM] <drakensis> he also got conked hard on the head in that match IIRC
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:44:29 PM] <Alkari> Yes, and he only forgets himself and really bats properly when someone hits him on the elbow
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:44:45 PM] <revanne> I'd forgotten that
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:44:56 PM] <drakensis> I may have confused the injury, it's been a while since I read that
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:44:58 PM] <Alkari> And he forgets that he is not supposed to be able to play, and takes the opposition apart with great glee
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:45:00 PM] <The_Bee> and Lord Peter doesn't have magic to help him.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:45:29 PM] <Alkari> he hasn't met Harriet at that stage
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:45:33 PM] <Alkari>
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:45:53 PM] <Alkari> Ah yes, the good old detective stories
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:46:11 PM] <revanne> I think Morgan might be a bit offended by that - I'm sure he would tell you his swordmanship is down to sheer skill
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:46:30 PM] <Alkari> it undoubtedly is.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:46:39 PM] <drakensis> on the topic of other writers, David Weber was clearly very happy about meeting KK at Marscon. it's about the only thing I saw him say about the convention.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:46:50 PM] <Evie> :-D
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:47:21 PM] <drakensis> this was on his forum, I don't know him personally
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:47:23 PM] <Jemler> marscon? how is ray walaton doing?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:47:37 PM] <Jemler> marscon? how is ray walston doing?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:48:52 PM] * Jemler drops a bowling ball
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:49:22 PM] <Alkari> Ray Walston?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:49:24 PM] <Evie> Someone took a photo of Mini-Duncan and Helena at the event yesterday, and she was thrilled when I told her that most of my little people are made to represent Deryni characters. She had heard that a new book was out but hasn't bought it yet
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:49:40 PM] <KK> I was also thrilled to meet David Weber again. Got some treecat books from him.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:49:47 PM] <Jemler> he used to play in a tv show called my favorite martian
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:50:03 PM] <KK> I remember that show.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:50:10 PM] <Evie> I wish my cat would go climb a tree and get off my arms!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:50:12 PM] <Jemler> uncle martin
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:50:34 PM] <Alkari> Oh yes - I remember that show. Just not the name of the actor
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:50:41 PM] <Aerlys> BRB
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:50:41 PM] <The_Bee> Ray Walston also plyed Judge Bone in Picket Fences.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:50:54 PM] <Alkari> that is REALLY digging into the distant past
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:51:10 PM] <Jemler> and mr hand in fast times at ridgemont high
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:51:20 PM] <Alkari> Sort of like admitting that I remember watching Clint Eastwood on TV as Rowdy Yates
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:51:27 PM] <drakensis> I should probably pick up the treecat books sometime
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:51:39 PM] <drakensis> when my shelves of books to read are a bit less packed perhaps
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:52:01 PM] <Evie> there are separate treecat books besides the mentions of them in the Honor books?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:52:08 PM] <Alkari> I just re-purposed a set of CD shelves into more bookshelves
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:52:45 PM] <revanne> I need a lock on my kindle - it's far too easy to download books
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:53:00 PM] <Evie> LOL! I know that feeling, revanne
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:53:11 PM] <drakensis> several I think, Evie
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:53:12 PM] <Jemler> has everybody read the kings deryni?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:53:15 PM] <Alkari> I got the kindle app for my ipad but have never used it
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:53:22 PM] <The_Bee> I have
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:53:30 PM] <Evie> I have
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:53:30 PM] <revanne> I have
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:53:33 PM] <Alkari> I just borrow real books from the local library
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:53:41 PM] <Alkari> Yes, have read it
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:53:45 PM] <Aerlys> back
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:53:50 PM] <KK> Yes. First one is A Beautiful Friendship. And then he did two with Lindstrom called Forest Fires (or something like that) and Treecat Wars.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:54:10 PM] <Evie> I don't like having to give the books back, though, plus I get fines because I forget to turn library books in on time
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:54:37 PM] <revanne> DH bought an expensive bottle of malt whisky so I'm busy working out how many books that entitles me to
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:54:50 PM] <Alkari> my library sends me email remonders and then I can just renew online
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:54:56 PM] <Aerlys> lol, revanne
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:55:08 PM] <Alkari> Oh, good one revanne! LOTS of books.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:55:09 PM] <Jemler> i still have to order the last 3 books of the wheel of time series.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:55:27 PM] <Jemler> revanne, is it single-malt?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:55:33 PM] <Aerlys> I get a lot of books from the library now since I am running out of room
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:55:45 PM] <drakensis> I used to visit libraries almost every day as a kid. these days I can read so much online books are mostly read on buses.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:56:08 PM] <Alkari> I just like visiting the library and browsing
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:56:18 PM] <Alkari> never know what I might find
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:56:41 PM] <KK> Browsing is highy under-rated.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:57:00 PM] <KK> That's what made the old physical card datalogues so much fun.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:57:06 PM] <KK> catalogues.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:57:12 PM] <Alkari> Exactly, KK. There is something about being able to pick up a book, skim a few pages, read all the cover notes, etc
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:57:26 PM] <KK> Yep.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:57:28 PM] <revanne> Yes - we had a quick trip to Edinburgh to recoop from Dad being so ill and hit the whisky shop. It's a single malt called Longmorn. We had a friend who was a distillery manager in Speyside (north-east Scotland) so we try to find the ones he was connected with.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:57:35 PM] <Alkari> I love secondhand bookstores too
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:57:38 PM] <Jemler> i was browsing in a bookstore when i found a writer by the name of Kurtz.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:57:48 PM] <drakensis> so many bookstores are gone
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:58:00 PM] <The_Bee> and libraries, unlike bookstores, don't mind if you look but don't buy.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:58:06 PM] <drakensis> when I was at Uni I knew several. went back a few years ago and they were all gone
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:58:09 PM] <drakensis> could have cried
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:58:22 PM] <Alkari> the good bookstores know their customers will look and browse
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:58:50 PM] <Alkari> And so many of the ones remaining tend to be very limited in their stock
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:59:04 PM] <Jemler> i know.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:59:40 PM] <Aerlys> Used bookstores are fun because you never know what you will find
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [05:59:54 PM] <DesertRose> I love used bookshops.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:00:07 PM] <DesertRose> There's a really good one near me called Chamblin's Book Mine.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:00:09 PM] <Jemler> we used to have a paperback book exchange around here.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:00:13 PM] <Evie> we have a couple of good used bookstores here
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:00:17 PM] <revanne> Elder DD lives in Oxford where they have an amazing bookstore. She won't go in with me now in case her Dad holds her responsible for what I spend.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:00:23 PM] <Aerlys> A few years ago, one of my fave stores had first edition Tolkien's
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:00:31 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, wow, Aerlys.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:00:33 PM] <Jemler> SUPERBOWL XLIX!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:00:35 PM] <Alkari> many of them here have put in nice cafes so they become sort of social meeting places as well as bookshops
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:00:44 PM] <revanne> Wow
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:00:56 PM] <Aerlys> beautiul books
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:01:02 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, Chamblin's built a second location that has a coffee shop attached.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:01:06 PM] <Aerlys> For $2000 each
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:01:06 PM] <drakensis> I think there are two second hand bookshops hanging on in Harrogate
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:01:12 PM] <KK> Cafes in bookstores are good.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:01:15 PM] <The_Bee> There's a superbowl party about to go on behind me.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:01:17 PM] <Alkari> oh wow - I have the old hardcopies but not first editions
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:01:21 PM] <DesertRose> But I still like the original location, because it's bigger and the parking is easier.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:01:31 PM] <revanne> Did they have any of Tolkein's illustrations Aerlys?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:01:35 PM] <DesertRose> I have a lovely anniversary edition of LOTR.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:01:54 PM] <Aerlys> Don't know. I was too afraid to touch them
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:02:20 PM] <Alkari> My set is a second edition, but I still have the dustjackets on them, protected by plastic
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:02:54 PM] <Jemler> speaking of Tolkien. i had a teacher in high school who had a map of middle-earth written in elven script. i'd like to find one. anyone know where i can get one?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:02:55 PM] <Aerlys> Nic. My friend has the entire first edition set of the Oz books
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:03:30 PM] <Alkari> Sounds interesting jemleer. Not seen one of those
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:03:54 PM] <Evie> it wasn't the map that used to be in the hardcover editions, was it?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:03:58 PM] <Jemler> he said he got it in colorado, but couldn't remember where.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:04:15 PM] <Jemler> this was like 3 feet wide.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:04:19 PM] <Evie> I've recently seen a poster map of Middle Earth at Walmart in the poster department
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:05:17 PM] <Evie> the one that used to be in the books was a foldout version that may have been that wide, though I'm thinking it was more like 2 feet wide
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:06:08 PM] <revanne> Think a friend at Uni had one similar but no idea where she might have got it from - and that was 37 years ago (gulp)
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:06:23 PM] <Evie> one of the folks on the Cartographers' guild forum might know
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:07:04 PM] <Kelric> lesse if I would win the prop bet I wanted to pose at the Stupor Bowl party I'm not at because of the Midwest Blizzard
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:07:10 PM] <The_Bee> My problem with maps in books that I often have trouble finding the places mentioned
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:07:31 PM] <Kelric> I would win if the National Anthem singer botches the jump at "Banner Yet Wave" and does a scale up instead of the jump.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:08:54 PM] <Kelric> then I'm like the Grumpy Cat meme for this game. I wish both teams could lose.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:08:58 PM] <revanne> or I find that they're not where I think they are and my mental map gets all confused. I confuse East and West at the best of times
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:09:40 PM] <Alkari> LOL. I love maps in books.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:09:48 PM] <Evie> I do too
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:10:04 PM] <Aerlys> they help me envision the story better
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:10:22 PM] <drakensis> it literally started David Edding's fantasy career - he did a map and wrote the Belgariad to explore it
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:10:25 PM] <Alkari> Yes, and you get the scale and relationship of places
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:10:48 PM] <Evie> and as a fanfic writer I find them helpful in keeping me from having characters travel impossibly long distances in incredibly short periods of time when there's not a Portal involved.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:10:52 PM] <DesertRose> That's true. In The Rivan Codex, there's actually a scan of the original map.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:10:53 PM] <The_Bee> yes, but with my eyes it's hard to see place names on a background of forests or mountains.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:11:20 PM] <Alkari> well, if the maps are well drawn, you don't need to show lots and LOTS of trees etc
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:12:36 PM] <Alkari> Oh Bee, I finally succumbed to 'age'- and altered my screen resolution to 125%. AMAZING how easy it is to read stuff now!!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:13:00 PM] <Alkari> I have a nice big screen and suitable type size
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:13:22 PM] <Aerlys> me too...and I know I am younger than you.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:13:34 PM] <Kelric> lol
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:13:36 PM] <The_Bee> too bad I can't enlarge the print in a book
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:13:45 PM] <Evie> I can.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:13:48 PM] <DesertRose> I think you can on a Kindle or other e-reader.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:14:04 PM] <Evie> that's one of the features I like about my Kindle...font resizing
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:14:15 PM] <Alkari> I can manage books OK. I actually take my glasses off to read books
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:14:24 PM] <revanne> I've got a magnifying class I use for embroidery which I sometimes get out for maps
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:14:31 PM] <The_Bee> Can you curl up with a kindle?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:14:32 PM] <Evie> I normally read at regular font size, but in dimmer light I have to size up
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:14:39 PM] <Evie> I do, Bee
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:15:27 PM] <Aerlys> I actually have trouble with contrast, or the lack thereof. With insufficient light, I can't make out letters to save my life. On the Kindle, I set it to white words on black. Makes it easier for me to see
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:15:29 PM] <Evie> Mine is in a leather cover that looks like a regular book cover, and if I want to lie down in bed and prop it open by the cover, I can change the text to read in "landscape" rather than "portrait" mode if I don't feel like holding it like a regular book
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:15:37 PM] <Evie> (Which I sometimes don't if I'm tired.)
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:15:38 PM] <revanne> Yes - and you can read them without having to turn the light on which is great if I wake up at 4am or something anti-social
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:16:25 PM] <revanne> I'm planning on getting a cover for a birthday present
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:17:01 PM] <Aerlys> I have a very thin one so my Kindle fits in my purse
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:17:37 PM] <Evie> mine is an old enough Kindle that I still need a light to read it, but I may get the Paperwhite eventually, which has the features I like in the Touch, and still has e-paper rather than a backlit tablet screen, but has enough peripheral lighting to be read in dim light conditions.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:18:44 PM] <Evie> with cover, mine is slightly taller and wider than a paperback but is half the thickness, and fits easily into the same small backpack-style purse that holds my notebook computer.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:19:04 PM] <DesertRose> I want a Kindle, but it's not super high on the list of priorities right now. I need to replace my poor car first before I do something fun like a Kindle.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:19:27 PM] <Alkari> I just turn on the light and read. I'd have to get up and go into the study to get mu iPad.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:19:37 PM] <Evie> yeah, a replacement Kindle isn't a top priority for similar reasons, DR
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:19:46 PM] <DesertRose> I hear ya.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:20:07 PM] <revanne> Sorry folks - I can hear my hot water bottles which DH has kindly put into bed for me singing lullabies so will say goodnight. Evie, say happy birthday to Duncan for me. Night, night
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:20:11 PM] <DesertRose> My car is 15 years old and has 172,000 miles on it. As my brother put it, my car needs a new automobile.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:20:13 PM] <DesertRose> Night, revanne.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:20:16 PM] <Alkari> I was sort of saving for a new car, but a new lounge suite took over ... sofa and two wonderful recliner chiars. My back and hips and thaniking me in advance
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:20:27 PM] <drakensis> night, revanne. sleep warm
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:20:29 PM] <Evie> turning on the light to read is an issue if you're married, Alkari, whereas my Kindle is usually right next to my bed if I've been reading from it
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:20:32 PM] <Alkari> Bye revanne.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:20:37 PM] <DesertRose> Thanks for coming to hang out with us, revanne.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:20:49 PM] Quit revanne has left this server (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:20:52 PM] <Evie> goodnight
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:20:58 PM] <The_Bee> glad you came, Revanne
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:22:35 PM] <The_Bee> oops missed
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:22:37 PM] <Evie> looking up cummerbund style cinctures
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:22:42 PM] <Jemler> so did i
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:22:44 PM] <KK> Nighters, Reanne.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:22:45 PM] <Aerlys> my car has 250,000 miles on it.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:22:59 PM] <DesertRose> That's a lot, Aerlys.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:23:09 PM] <Aerlys> but it's a VW diesel
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:23:18 PM] <Jemler> miles or kilometers?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:23:20 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, well, that makes a difference. Mine's a Mazda.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:23:38 PM] <Jemler> mines a tonka
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:23:47 PM] <Evie> DH's van's mileage is around that much also
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:23:52 PM] <Alkari> indestrutible, jemler
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:23:55 PM] * DesertRose shakes her head in Jemler's direction.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:24:14 PM] <Jemler> a rattle?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:24:24 PM] <Jemler>
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:24:37 PM] <The_Bee> My car is a figment of my imagination. I never got my driver's license.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:24:43 PM] <Aerlys> better than a vacuum
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:25:05 PM] <Alkari> I have a 10 y.o. Focus, but it only has 106,000 kms on it
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:25:15 PM] <Aerlys> but you have great public transportation, BEE
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:25:23 PM] <Evie> Boston must have a great transportation system for you to be able to get around with no license, Bee
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:25:38 PM] <Alkari> I just need something with better ground clearance and the ability to get out of muddy paddoks
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:25:39 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, the city where I live has really crappy public transit, so you kind of need a car to get around.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:25:50 PM] <KK> She has a trike, thug.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:25:55 PM] <KK> though
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:26:06 PM] <Alkari> They don't run public transport at all where I need to go!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:26:08 PM] <The_Bee> Pre-surgery, I rode an ut not in this snow.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:26:25 PM] <DesertRose> No, riding in the snow seems like a bad idea.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:26:42 PM] <Alkari> you have bene having some serious blizzards
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:26:53 PM] <DesertRose> Maybe once you're done with your physical therapy, you can ride again and by then the weather might be semi-decent.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:27:00 PM] <Annie> Sorry, guys, I've been called off to work on a collaboration before bed. See you next time.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:27:05 PM] <DesertRose> Okay, see you, Annie.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:27:07 PM] <DesertRose> Have a good one.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:27:12 PM] <Annie> Bye.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:27:14 PM] <Evie> Good night, annie
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:27:15 PM] <Alkari> Bye Annie. See you next time.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:27:15 PM] <The_Bee> nighters, annie
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:27:18 PM] <Jemler> nite annie. until next month!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:27:21 PM] Quit Annie has left this server (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:28:18 PM] <DesertRose> KK, what's been going on in your part of the world besides unexpected guests today?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:29:50 PM] <KK> I've just been clearing away files for tax prep, and setting them up for this year.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:30:05 PM] <DesertRose> What fun. I need to do my taxes. Probably will do them this week.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:30:10 PM] <Alkari> Fun job.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:30:18 PM] <Alkari> I just need to do filing
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:30:49 PM] <Evie> KK, I'm learning tablet weaving, so maybe the littles will have some pretty trim and belts soon. Though if I can't keep the patterns straight in my head, you can expect very asymmetric patterns to be all the rage in Gwynedd in 1136. -)
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:30:57 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, Evie.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:31:04 PM] <KK> We've been lucky; no horrid weather, though I believe there's snow coming in the next couple of days.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:31:21 PM] <KK> brb
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:31:26 PM] <Jemler> i'll send some to dr
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:31:27 PM] <DesertRose> I learned how to tablet weave at an SCA event a while ago and I still have the little piece of stuff I was weaving but I've forgotten how to do it, so I may have to find another tablet weaving class and relearn.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:31:35 PM] <DesertRose> NO, Jemler. I do NOT want snow.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:31:42 PM] <Aerlys> we've jus had fog. lots of fog...
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:31:56 PM] <Jemler> oh, c'mon! sure you do!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:32:15 PM] <drakensis> if you can send say, six inches over here, I probably can avoid going to work
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:32:15 PM] * DesertRose shakes her head so emphatically that her hair threatens to fall out of its clip.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:32:22 PM] <Alkari> we have lots of sun And the occasional summer rainstorm
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:33:01 PM] <Evie> Snow is a dirty word, jemler. Do you kiss your mama with that mouth? ;-)
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:33:03 PM] <DesertRose> I can't avoid going to work unless the power or my internet connection go out. I work from home.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:33:14 PM] * Jemler launches a snowball at all those southern fried wimps who think one snowflake is a blizzard!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:33:29 PM] <Alkari> Snow? What's that?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:33:32 PM] * DesertRose smacks the snowball with a swordfish.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:33:47 PM] <DesertRose> I don't think one snowflake is a blizzard. I just don't want any snow.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:34:04 PM] <Evie> No, one snowflake is a novelty. Icy roads in a town with no snowplows or decent ice-melting gear is a disaster.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:34:17 PM] <DesertRose> Exactly, Evie.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:34:19 PM] <Jemler> ice is what happens to water when it getss too cold. snow is an intermediary step.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:34:52 PM] <Evie> Here, snow is nearly always preceded by rain, which freezes and turns our roads to a skating rink
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:34:59 PM] <Jemler> you just have to learn that you can't drive 50 miles/hr on snow!\
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:35:02 PM] <DesertRose> We had a few flurries here a couple of weeks ago but nothing that stuck.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:35:13 PM] <drakensis> here the rain generally warms the ground just enough that snow doesn't stick
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:35:15 PM] <Evie> and when it's not, then the snow thaws around noon, melting onto the roads, then refreezes at night. Same effect
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:35:21 PM] <DesertRose> It hasn't snowed here and stuck to the ground since 1989.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:35:34 PM] <Jemler> then you're due!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:35:37 PM] <DesertRose> NO.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:35:40 PM] <Evie> No, the wipeouts you saw in the news were caused by going around 10 miles an hour or less.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:35:42 PM] <Jemler> YES!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:35:50 PM] <DesertRose> We do not want snow.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:35:56 PM] <Evie> trust me, no one was going 50 mph on the icy roads. we couldn't.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:36:04 PM] <DesertRose> Nobody who lives in Florida lives here to put up with snow.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:36:20 PM] <KK> Back.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:36:22 PM] <Jemler> tryit it. you'll like it!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:36:25 PM] <DesertRose> We'd rather put up with hurricane seasons and thunderstorms than snow.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:36:31 PM] <DesertRose> No. Do. Not. Want.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:36:51 PM] <Evie> We had a driving instructor from up North come down here to give us clueless Southerners a lesson in how to drive in wintry conditions one year, and he quickly learned that snow on Alabama roads is not the same as snow in New York roads
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:37:10 PM] <DesertRose> The roads are configured differently.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:37:19 PM] <Alkari> Last year, was going down a shaded road very early in the morning and a funny light came on on the car's dashboard. Looked like an engine warning light, so was very worried. During the break in judging I looked up the manual - and it was the 'cold road' warning light, in case of ice!!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:37:23 PM] <KK> We've had those, too. And earthquakes.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:37:42 PM] <DesertRose> Southern roads are built to shuffle rain off the roadways, which is exactly what you don't want when you're dealing with snow and ice.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:38:00 PM] <DesertRose> Northern roads are built for snow, not heavy rain.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:38:06 PM] <KK> What kind of a car do you have, that tells you when the road is cold?!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:38:16 PM] <Alkari> A Ford Focus
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:38:28 PM] <KK> Huh. Never heard of that.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:38:37 PM] <KK> The light, not a Ford Focus.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:38:38 PM] <Alkari> It was weird - I had never seen that light on before, and I have driven in cold and frosty mornings
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:38:45 PM] <Evie> Cassock almost done. One side seam and bottom hem to go. I need to do a test fit.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:38:51 PM] <DesertRose> Yay!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:39:02 PM] <Alkari> I was glad that it was just a 'normal' light though and not something seriously wring with my car
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:39:08 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, I bet, Alkari.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:39:10 PM] <Alkari> * wrong
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:39:18 PM] <KK> Yes, mystery lights are worrisome.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:39:23 PM] <Alkari> I was about 100 miles from home.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:39:35 PM] <KK> Not the place to be stranded.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:40:00 PM] <Aerlys> At least you weren't in Kansas
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:40:04 PM] <Alkari> I could have got home - got the car towed to a repair place and caught the train, but not waht I would have wanted
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:40:22 PM] <DesertRose> That would have been a colossal pain, yes.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:41:00 PM] <Evie> It would really be bad for Alkari to be stuck in Kansas, unless that Focus can drive across water. ;-)
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:41:01 PM] <Alkari> Anyway, even though it was winter, the day warmed up beautifully and by midday, little car was happy again
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:41:21 PM] <DesertRose> I had a car adventure about a week and a half ago. I had a tire blow out (at low speed, thank heaven) and then come to find I didn't have the right equipment to change the tire in the car, and then found out that the spare was the wrong size for the car anyway.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:41:23 PM] <Alkari> I'd just have to ask for a cross-Pacific tornado to take me home
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:41:51 PM] <Alkari> I *HATE* those spacesaver spare tyres!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:42:21 PM] <DesertRose> So do I, but it would have served to get me to a tire shop and get the thing fixed, if it had been the right tire.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:42:39 PM] <Aerlys> three weeks ago DH called me. The left rear tires on his work truck FELL OFF on the freeway! Thankfully, no one was hurt
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:42:49 PM] <DesertRose> Oh crap, Aerlys.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:42:53 PM] <Evie> What??? Ack!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:42:59 PM] <Alkari> I have the stuff to change mine, but can't always easily get the type of tyre on my car
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:43:04 PM] <DesertRose> Oh fun.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:43:08 PM] <Alkari> Fell OFF?!!!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:43:31 PM] <DesertRose> With my last car, I actually bought a rim and put a real tire in the back for a spare instead of those rubber doughnut things I hate so.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:43:37 PM] <Alkari> Lucky there wasn't a major accident!
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:43:50 PM] <DesertRose> But it's not worth it at this point in this car, because it's going to have to be replaced entirely soon.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:43:53 PM] <Aerlys> one tire rolled down an on-ramp to a connecting freeway. He ran over the other one. Damaged the flat bed. He has one of those trucks with the toolboxes built into the flatbed
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:44:16 PM] <Alkari> Yes, sometimes you can fit a full size tyre into the back, maybe just by raising the floorbed in the back
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:44:20 PM] <KK> Yike, sounds ghastly.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:44:33 PM] <Aerlys> We always keep a full-sized spare
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:44:35 PM] <Alkari> Wow, he was so lucky not to be seriously hurt
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:44:53 PM] <The_Bee> A tire fell off (or a wheel) around here and went through a guy's windshield and put him in the hospital.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:45:15 PM] <KK> I hate those little donut tires, but they do serve to get you to the next stop. Of course, we have AAA, and are inclined to call them and let them take care of it.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:45:45 PM] <Alkari> Trouble is, KK, that the next stop with any sort of replacement tyres may be 100kms away
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:46:08 PM] <KK> When you run old cars, the home retrieval service is invaluable.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:46:09 PM] <DesertRose> Well, from where I lost the tire, the tire shop was about 3 miles away.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:46:18 PM] <Alkari> And you can only do 80kph on them, less depending on the weather
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:46:31 PM] <KK> That's true. But it beats walking.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:46:42 PM] <Aerlys> I ws so worried that the tire that rolled away might have caused another accident or injured someone. Angels were watching over DH that day
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:47:12 PM] <Alkari> did he find out 'why'the tyres came off?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:47:18 PM] <Evie> Yes, that could have been a very bad situation
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:47:30 PM] <KK> Well, I hear clunking sounds in the kitchen, which means that Scott has started cleaning up after our drinks guests, so I suppose I ought to go help.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:47:44 PM] <The_Bee> Someone WAS injured by aunaway tire here in Mass.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:47:49 PM] <DesertRose> Okay, KK, thanks for coming to see us. See you next week?
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:47:57 PM] <Alkari> LOL @ KK and clunking sounds
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:48:08 PM] <Alkari> Good to see you and thanks for chatting
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:48:11 PM] <Evie> and we've been invited to a post-event wrap up party
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:48:18 PM] <drakensis> see you next month

[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:49:45 PM] <The_Bee> I'm buzzing off My supper is getting cold in my room.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:49:47 PM] <DesertRose> You can hang out if you want to, though.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:49:49 PM] <DesertRose> See you, Bee.
[Sunday, February 01, 2015] [06:49:54 PM] <DesertRose> Rest and recover!
