Caledonia Heron: you can take a copy
Riddle: got it, thank you
Caledonia Heron: do you know how to take a copy?
Caledonia Heron: ok
Tired out after all of this playing, some little nuggets of something came out. I like the word/phrase “be’ed” and may use it more from now on.
Riddle: I thought more people came to 7pm meetings
Dakini Rhode: it varies each day
Caledonia Heron: it depends…you never know
Dakini Rhode: i was alone here last saturday…
Dakini Rhode: in a way it was a treat!
Dakini Rhode: whatever happens is a treat…
Riddle: yes
Dakini Rhode: you never can predict
Caledonia Heron: yeah, I got a kick out if - looked around, cleaned my inventory, tried out my animations
Dakini Rhode: haha i changed the textures on the posts
Riddle: ha, busy work to be done
Dakini Rhode: well first i sat and “be’ed”
Dakini Rhode: was
Dakini Rhode: whatever
Caledonia Heron: be’ed - like it
Dakini Rhode: then i noticed the textures…
Riddle: yes, I like it
Caledonia Heron: maybe we should have some BEe hives in our forest
Dakini Rhode: haha yes
Caledonia Heron: bees are so cool - I used to keep bees
Caledonia Heron: or they kept me…don’t know which
Caledonia Heron: 10,000 socialists and they all worked for me
Riddle: very nice, I have never keep them or been kept
Riddle: I have studied them many ways
Caledonia Heron: that’s the joke anyway
Caledonia Heron: they have complex behaviors
Caledonia Heron: if it gets dark before they can get home they sleep on a flower
Riddle: yes, I did many hive / sworm sims
Riddle: they don’t fly at night and we don’t chat as much as it gets darker
Caledonia Heron: correlation?
Caledonia Heron: :)
Riddle: I think so
Caledonia Heron: shut down
Caledonia Heron: conservation
Dakini Rhode: we don’t?
Caledonia Heron: depends - people cycle their energy at different times of day
Riddle: yes
Caledonia Heron: I was listening to npr about circadian rhythyms -
Riddle: I went far tooo late into the dark last night
Caledonia Heron: did you hear it
Caledonia Heron: :)
Riddle: no, but I usually go back and get the podcasts
Caledonia Heron: one thing that stuck is that you can alleviate jet lag by not eating
Caledonia Heron: uh oh ..bye bye Dakini
Riddle: yep, she cycled
Caledonia Heron: ha ha
Caledonia Heron: I think I will too
Caledonia Heron: wanted to come say Happy Birthday
Riddle: and I too
Caledonia Heron: enjoy what’s left
