The Shangri-la Clubhouse

In that it appears that the Monster Thread has died a quiet but noble death, I propose that this thread take it's place. Hopefully, it shall contain all that was good about the Monster Thread -- a thread of peace and tranquility, of humor/humour, wit, satire,and silliness. It was an oasis from all the troubling news that is all too real in the world "beyond the horizon". It provided all who came a cool drink of water and a momentary respite.

Personally, the Monster Thread was a place where I could wish you all a peaceful good night, or greet you with a smile and a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

We cannot recreate the Monster Thread, just like it is not possible to recreate the original Woodstock. It is something that just happened, with no overt plan, no rhyme or reason. Yet, in my honest and sincere opinion, it served a valuable purpose for our community. Friendships were made in this thread, and only concerns and worries were lost, albeit momentarily.

Thus, I propose that this thread inherit all the good qualities of the Monster Thread, and, as the Phoenix before it, rise out of the ashes of technological "flames". I would also propose that the Shangri-la clubhouse have no leader (sorry Kosh for your one-term in office postion). Let it be free to wander where it might go, free from the talk of more serious and relevant matters that have their open debates in all the other threads.

RIP Monster Thread. You were of, by and for the people of ehMacLand.

In the words of William Wordsworth

"What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;

We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be."

I was curious and googled "pet movers" ... good grief, there are a good many, offering services of all kinds, for pets of all kinds.
Yes, and some will keep the dogs. One has to be VERY careful with whom one lets transport a dog.

You could aways try UPS ( United Puppy Service)

Bill, that is a grand idea. Merci, mon ami.

Interesting, but both of these dogs pictured above, Gus and Rudy, are about to experience their first "taste" of wet St.John's snow. We have had about three inches of wet snow since they were out last. We shall see.

Kids having fun in Churchill Park near my house .................. but they know that they have to get out of the park before the full moon rises tonight .................. because we all know and fear weredoxies.

Afternoon/evening all. It's just after 2pm, and we've just come In from our first balcony break -- just in time, as the rain and wind have just started to come our way -- it definitely feels more comfortable inside!!

Marc .... good luck to Gus & Rudy with their first 'wet snow' experiences.

It is really coming down right now, and I am waiting for it to let up a bit. Radar says in about an hour it might slow down to less than an inch an hour. We shall see.

Well, that went ove like a lead balloon. Rudy took to the snow like a natural. Gus freaked out as if I was forcing him out into a raging fire. Go figure.

Maybe Gus would like a pair of long-johns/no I mean short-johns, to protect the important bits when you have more than 3cm of snow.

When your built close to terra firma, some things just get your attention real quick. :D
People have suggest that, since his "important bits" do touch the snow when it is more than 4cm.

How is Life treating you these days, mon ami?

Guess it is best to call it a night. I have to go out and shovel some of the snow. It is really wet and heavy, even at only 15cm. Still, I will just clear away parts of the deck to let the doxies have a clear run when going out back. So, see you all tomorrow. Paix, mes amis.
