So did you get a picture of the Bing vehicle taking a picture of you?

Nice find, I've never seen one when I've been out and about.

Google still doesn't have street view for my house. Not surprising though, it took qwest years to get DSL there too. Funny considering we're still in St. Paul proper that nothing gets done there too quickly.

Ohhh that one.

Heh, I still think it's funny that car had damage on it. Precision mapping yes, precision driving, nooo.... :eyeroll:

Yeah, got egg on my face from that one didn't I? thanks for proving me wrong, heh.

how the heck did Jake find that?

We knew to keep our eye for it because this happened so long ago and knew they would eventually get it up on some search engine, the guy tried to ditch us driving through the government parkinglot- that part was deleted out completely - too funny. Cool that it's Bing.

Just got this e-mail:

The auroral activity index will exceed Kp=4 in the next 24 hours. It should remain high for only 12 hours. Those in the midnight sectors with dark enough sky should see aurora.

Kieran's Irish Pub is having their Pub Quiz tonight and it looks like my team is going to be short a member. Any trivia fans interested in giving it a try? It starts at 7:30 in the Titanic Lounge though it's best to get there a bit early.

WARNING: Grossness ahead.

Today I did something I will never do again.

One of the people I supervise is Cambodian. One of her relatives just returned from a trip to Cambodia and brought her what is a delicacy in that country.

Fried tarantula.

She offered me a taste. I asked her if she was serious. She pulled out a ziplock baggie thighy with what was fried tarantulas...body, legs and all.

I finally broke down and she broke off a small part of a leg and I did try it.

Not much taste wise.

Very much like fried skinny gummy bears in texture with less flavor. Chewy and I ended up asking her if I would offend her if I disposed of what was left in my mouth. She wasn't and thought I was quite brave to even give it a try.

GROSS!!!!!

Bear's rule of foreign eating:

Always be gracious and accept when offered. If you like it, say "That's good, thank you." Do not, under any circumstances, say "That's good, what is that?" BECAUSE THEY WILL FRIGGIN TELL YOU.

I knew before I decided to try it. It was obvious. These are complete tarantulas with legs attached to the bodies.

Makes me cringe to think about it.

Violet, there's a Piggy Playdate, I think, June 12 (in doors) that me and Pickles and Ellie are tentively going to; $3.00 bucks, not per person (I don't think) but period and I think eats (potlucj). Indoor, good times, AC as I said, and fun for all owners of Hams In Fur Coats. The Pigglettes really like it, too! It you guys wanna go, egram me for more info. I will also check on the nummies as I would take Marty and Arty's Fire King Lilly Pad Poppers as I am so addicted to them. I will also turn you on to the mweet-up group of Pigglette lovers and their web site.

And is Bucky (is that his nane?) still suffering from allergies? If so, I have a med to tell you about that is CHEAP and works miracles.

Pickles, Ellie and I would love Molly licks. Let me know.

we havent been to one in quite a while, so Molly will be more than happy to go!

Violt, responded to egram. Ittiz a date. I just need to find out the bucks thighy (you have location rite, will conform with you) and the nummies deally. Usually they do them. I need to know sos I have enuff Fire King Lily P00pers for me and to share (double batch).

I have not been to one o'these since Hector was a pup. Actually have only attended one sine zI lieft the Pug club (THOMP) as I could not stand all the BS crap going on. Also, the MN division of Pug rescue has pulled away from Midwest Pug Rescue. An icky thing but I don't know the details.

My Precious Mizzy Mayo passed away in her sleep late April, and thanks be to the gods my contacts were able to hook me up with the folks down Misery/KS way. I drove round trip one day to Overland Park, KS, and back to get Ellie. She's a rescue Pigglette like Mayo was (who I had gotten here locally from the now, pretty much, defunct MN division). I pray you understand... Once you own A Ham In A Fur Coat, ya'just can't be w/o one.

Looking forward to many kisses from Molly.

See you soon!
