Food
Could food tempt you?
Wishbone - this is targeted for you
- fish'n chips served the traditional way - wrapped in yesterday's newspaper
- followed by
A High Tea I think all of us will enjoy
Health
Happy to report the doctor declared "Cold"
- albeit a virus from hell or Mallorca
one and the same thing where I was - otherwise an absolutely lovely island
- that makes people crawl into her clinic exhausted after sticking it out for weeks
Finance
Greece is still up in the air. Euroland has hired a bunch of new people
headed by a real expert to dream up new rescue plans.
German government coalition partner is losing sense of humor.
Barack Obama is to make a statement shortly. Stay tuned.

Danish Shubidua asks a simple, irreverent question:
Standing on a mountaintop
- watching the snow fall
- finally I reached the very top
- cold toes
- what the heck was I'm supposed to go here for?
Now I reached the top, Ma,
- brrrr, it's freaking cold
- I'm sure you're proud now
- was that what you meant
- when you said I should rise?
Står på en Alpetop
The Irish are in dire straits financially as well - especially their banks - so much more the reason for pouring some
Whiskey in the Jar
Love can also be love of a city - and it's much easier
Wien, Wien nur du allein
Hi, nap,
Are you better today?

Well ghostie marm
Thats just what politicos do ..........
(pause )
(Smile)
(Open hand gesture)
We have a big electorate to pander too
(pause again for effect )
(meaningful look)
We dont have time to actually do things
(Grim look)
(make the mandatory three bullet points)
We Have to Try to balance the budget....
We Have to Try not to upset The voting public
We Have to try not to upset the good folks on Capitol hill
(pause for applause)
( Raise hands to acknowledge the spontaneous ovation)
(Nod thanks to the undercover cheer leaders)

Thats roughly how it goes around here anyway ............
My reply shouted at the TV ;
is "Whats with this WE Kemo Sabe"

Surgery is a go, but we don't know when until the clerk who runs the surgical center calls back with a time and date. Sigh...

Yes, the Space Shuttle Era is over
- always out and about, Base Camp recorded the very last Atlantis launch on July 8, 2011
Last launch of Atlantis
Today Atlantis returns.
The crew was awakened for the last time,
and the song was played for all the men & women from the shuttle program over the years.

At the At the summit of Pikes Peak, located near Colorado Springs, the hometown of
USAFA 82, Johnny Cool, littlepeaks, and Joypipe (eager crunchers in that city),
Katharine Lee Bates was inspired to pen the lines to her most famous poem,
"America the Beautiful."
She was overwhelmed by the sights of vast, open skies, planted fields and the majestic Rocky Mountains.
America the Beautiful sung by Kate Smith
Atlantis is scheduled to land at 5:52 AM EDT
- that translates into 9:52 AM GMT/UTC, if I'm correct.
So did you get goosebumps?
I did.

EDIT: Weeded out some mushy brain rubbish
- by the way: little mermaid was there - riding the cog wheel train
- and it was brrrr freezing up there in the middle of the summer

That was beautifully written, Ghost Plane.


Pleased to inform you nap and the Base Campers currently in Boise Idaho
that we have been joined by Lone_Wolf53 who rode in with his "herd" from North of the border.
Due to the Canadian summer he monitors the rpm of them, tho.
Thank you for coming, Spezi
