Shine on you crazy diamond. :)

I never would have gotten it. That's a rather vague mushroom in that drawing...

like lying low this summer.

Last time i stripped naked and locked myself in a laundrymat.




Of course i was only 5 at the time...

Boston to Detroit and back for Memorial Day weekend!

Going across Niagara Falls, into Canada for the first time evah!, and then straight to Dee-troit!

...outside of Detroit in Dearborn, Michigan. Haven't been there since the early 70's, but
every bit of Americana you could ever hope to see -- from a wooden baby spoon of some
early prairie settler family to a diesel locomotive half-a-block long.
.
.
One of the coolest museums EVER. Maybe still does... but had Colonial craftsmen making
their wares in outdoor stalls -- like a glassblower and a blacksmith.
.
.
.
Google Greenfield Village, too (right next door -- and maybe THAT'S where the craftsmen are.
.
.

Might be craftpersons now.

Ah, we're going to Iceland! Exotic, beautiful Iceland! I understand there's a lot of beautiful stuff to photograph, and I plan on doing a lot of that...










I didn't get the cartoon...:shrug:

I can't wait to see Peggy's photos of Iceland! Wow!

No vacation plans here.

Whoa - Iceland! How 'cool' is that.
We'll be helping one kid move and visiting 1 year old grandson at the other.

.
.
.
...and, from what I've learned about Iceland and their quality of life, for
darned good reasons.
.
.
.
It IS beautiful -- I envy you and look forward to seeing some wonderful photos
once you get back.

In the 90's, I used to converse on the Intertubes with a young Icelandic girl
(maybe somewhere between 16 and 20) who had one of the most positive,
FEARLESS in-yer-face attitudes (without being an obnoxious asshole) that
I've ever seen.
.
Fun.
.
In another post, I recommended learning even just a little bit of the language
of any country you're going to visit. To make her laugh, I learned how to ask
for a hot dog with everything in Icelandic. From that point on, I think she was
as impressed with me as I was with her.

You'll find a series of short video lessons here. The one below has to do with
eating in a restaurant.

And this should be of SPECIAL interest to you, my dear CaliforniaPeggy -- it's
part of a series on "How to Cuss in Icelandic". This episode will teach you how
to say, "Go to hell, shitbag" -- a useful phrase WHEREVER you are in the world.

Iceland. Seriously -- a DREAM trip!!!!

when you go on holiday :D

:hi:

We really ought to adapt the British/Australian/NZ way of saying it, too. It's just so much nicer and appropriate:

"I'm going on holiday this summer!" :D
