The Guardian for this meeting was Riddle Sideways. The comments are by Riddle Sideways joined by Lucinda and Alfred.

Enter to find the Boxy glowing Drome over the fountain to protect it or us.
Actually, a Riddle was present last night when it happened and read the email exchanges (funny), so was not surprised by it.

Lucinda Lavender: HI Riddle
Riddle Sideways: Hi Cinda
        click on the dome produced words that are not in the log
Lucinda Lavender: I had the same response...
Lucinda Lavender: it says it is recording?
Riddle Sideways: had thought Boxy removed the dome of silence
Lucinda Lavender: I guess the listener is back
Riddle Sideways: can it be claimed?
Lucinda Lavender: I am not sure...was curious about that
Lucinda Lavender: let me consult the email thread
Riddle Sideways: maybe try the Stev thing
Lucinda Lavender: how did you do that
      "/hide+"  
Lucinda Lavender: ?
         Then sit on one of the pillows showing under the dome
Riddle Sideways: hard to see in here
Riddle Sideways: ah HA !!!
Lucinda Lavender: sucess!
Lucinda Lavender: how did you get inside?
Riddle Sideways: stand and then sit on one of the inner pillows
Lucinda Lavender: ah
Riddle Sideways: oh well
Riddle Sideways: ummm, trapped
Riddle Sideways: can't get out of this dome

Lucinda Lavender: I have just been to a restaurant here in seattle called Kaffeeklatch...

Alfred Kelberry: luci, how old is she?
Lucinda Lavender: 4
Alfred Kelberry: neat
Lucinda Lavender: and i invited them to meet the chickens
Lucinda Lavender: it really was
Alfred Kelberry: 4 year olds are easy to fool
Lucinda Lavender: and we could talk about how to make a pie...with different measurements
Alfred Kelberry: meet the chickens :)
Alfred Kelberry: did they play with them?

Lucinda Lavender: they had pei here for the first time
Lucinda Lavender: pie
Alfred Kelberry: first time?
Alfred Kelberry: never had a pie before?
Lucinda Lavender: she did...she would run around and make little piles of food for each chicken...
Riddle Sideways: third world country = no pie
Riddle Sideways: :)
Alfred Kelberry: wait, you said german
Riddle Sideways: mud pies
Lucinda Lavender: ah...well the mom wanted to learn how so we leant her a pie pan and she got busy baking
Lucinda Lavender: well this family is austrian
Lucinda Lavender: the coffe shop is german
Alfred Kelberry: ok, it's riddle being riddly :)
Alfred Kelberry: still don't get it how a kid of 4 years old never had a pie
Lucinda Lavender: well...I guess mostly they eat pastry with fruit that is more like a cake
Lucinda Lavender: maybe they had pie but never had made one themselves
Alfred Kelberry: ah, could be that

Lucinda Lavender: really...is ther cloud cover then Riddle
Lucinda Lavender: ?
Lucinda Lavender: feels like a gray dome over us
Riddle Sideways: funny, was trying to find newspaper story to pass to you
Alfred Kelberry: luci, is it not usual for your area?
Lucinda Lavender: actuall this is typical for June
Riddle Sideways: but, their site does not have today's story
     The San Jose Mercury is a pretty good newpaper and really great at web presence.  It is very strange that today's front page interest article is not the same on the website.  The front page has a 6 photo series over the years and stripping that is just not on the website.
