The Guardian for this meeting was Agatha Macbeth. The comments are by Agatha Macbeth.

Bruce Mowbray: 's current display-name is "Bruce".
Agatha Macbeth: Hello Brucie
Bruce Mowbray: Heya, aggers!
Agatha Macbeth: God i wonder where the time goes sometimes
Agatha Macbeth: Only seems five minutes since I left here
Bruce Mowbray: Oh yeah. Actually, it seems to go faster the older you are.
Bruce Mowbray: ha ha!
Agatha Macbeth: Hm, maybe that has something to do with it
Bruce Mowbray: nods.
Agatha Macbeth: How's Blubster?
Bruce Mowbray: Swimmingly good, and thanks for asking.
Agatha Macbeth: Yay
Agatha Macbeth: Did your orthodoxy thing go well?
Bruce Mowbray: Hmmmm. Well, if you're referring to my session yesterday in SL,
Bruce Mowbray: we never even mentioned the topic.
Bruce Mowbray: And, if you're referring to RL, those lessons won't be until May 4th and 11th.
Agatha Macbeth: Oh
Bruce Mowbray: but I'm pretty sure that orthodoxy can take care of itself without me.
Agatha Macbeth: Ah well
Bruce Mowbray: ha ha.
Agatha Macbeth: Yes maybe unorthodoxy is better
Bruce Mowbray: I don't know. all I know is I don't seem to fit in very well with the orthodox crowd.
Agatha Macbeth: No, me either
Bruce Mowbray: in any framework, religious or otherwise.
Bruce Mowbray: nods.
Bruce Mowbray: it seems a bit strange though.
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe orthodoxy is what you make it
Bruce Mowbray: here in real life, on the farm road where I live, it seems that almost every person on the road is on orthodox.
Bruce Mowbray: and one of those just dropped in for a chat,
Bruce Mowbray: covered with tattoos, and a weirder haircut.
Agatha Macbeth: Well there's a lot to be said for being a hermit
Santoshima Resident: 's current display-name is "San".
Agatha Macbeth: Who is?
Bruce Mowbray: and I invited him to go to New York in the fall at my expense.
Agatha Macbeth: Oh your neighbour
Bruce Mowbray: Heya, San!
Agatha Macbeth: Hello Sanji
Santoshima Resident: hey! hello
Bruce Mowbray: Yes,one of my neighbours
Bruce Mowbray: a young man, lost artist.
Agatha Macbeth: A farmer?
Agatha Macbeth: Oh right
Bruce Mowbray: no, actually Matt doesn't do much of anything.
Agatha Macbeth: When did he get lost?
Bruce Mowbray: but he's a wonderful artist.
Agatha Macbeth: Great
Bruce Mowbray: I think it got lost very early in childhood.
Agatha Macbeth: I admire artists
Bruce Mowbray: it's a weird family.
Bruce Mowbray: I do too and this guy is incredible.
Agatha Macbeth: Cos I can't draw or paint for buggery myself
Bruce Mowbray: I actually have an online gallery of his sandstone carvings
Agatha Macbeth: Or play the piano
Agatha Macbeth: Wollie ♥
Bruce Mowbray: Heya, Wol!
Santoshima Resident: greetings wol
Wol Euler: evening all!
Bruce Mowbray: (I will find the gallery during the coming drop.)
Agatha Macbeth: I found that bunny thing you showed me, but couldn't seem to buy it when I visited the shop
Santoshima Resident: what "bunny thing"?
Agatha Macbeth: Vita - boudoir thingy
Santoshima Resident: ah
Agatha Macbeth: An easter gift apparently
--BELL--1315
Wol Euler: oh, it#s not for sale. it's a group gift
Agatha Macbeth: But I joined the group :(
Wol Euler: hmmmm
Wol Euler: we can go and have a look after Berti if you wish
Agatha Macbeth: OK thanks
Agatha Macbeth: But it's a bit late now, day's nearly gone
Agatha Macbeth: Anyway
Agatha Macbeth: At least I have Xmas stuff
Agatha Macbeth: Had to walk around ages today before I found a shop open
Wol Euler: I'm surprised you did :) only gas stations and the train station is open in stuttgart
Agatha Macbeth: Ah well, you don't have many Indians I suppose
Wol Euler: true
Wol Euler: though the population is teadily increasing
Bruce Mowbray: speaking of "Indians," my friend (neighbor) is part Native American, and I feel that comes out in his carvings.
Bruce Mowbray: Want to see some of them?
Wol Euler: sure
Agatha Macbeth: Oh sure
Agatha Macbeth: Thanks
Bruce Mowbray: www.hermitdog.com/dogstone/gallery.htm
Agatha Macbeth: Good heavens
Agatha Macbeth: They look Aztec-y
Bruce Mowbray: I feel that Matt does a fine job with that.
Bruce Mowbray: Yes, there is surely come long-lost civilization behind his work.
Agatha Macbeth: What are they carved from?
Bruce Mowbray: He is totally untrained, though.
Bruce Mowbray: sandstone.
Agatha Macbeth: Wow
Agatha Macbeth: Wonderful
Santoshima Resident: thanks, Bruce
Bruce Mowbray: He and I went skinny-dipping in the creek, and he swam to the bottom and gathered a lot of stones, and these carvings are from those stones.
Bruce Mowbray: That was about four years ago, though.
Agatha Macbeth: Brilliant
Agatha Macbeth: I love native art
Wol Euler: nice-
Bruce Mowbray: Anyway, I will be taking him to New York City in September.
Bruce Mowbray: So he can see the galleries and whatever else he wants to see on his own.
Agatha Macbeth: You seem to have a fondness for NY
Bruce Mowbray: But not then there for about two years.
Bruce Mowbray: But before that it was twice a year and every year.
Bruce Mowbray: ha ha.
Bruce Mowbray: I will be going to Chicago in May.
Bruce Mowbray: Fourth time in four years.
Agatha Macbeth: You certainly travel a lot for a hermit
Bruce Mowbray: Ha ha ha ha.
Bruce Mowbray: No, actually I just talk a lot. I do wish I could travel as much as I talk about travelling.
Bruce Mowbray: Wol is the world traveller
Wol Euler: who, me?
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe that would be difficult in your condition
Bruce Mowbray: oh yes.
Bruce Mowbray: You are my inspiration.
Agatha Macbeth: Yes Wollie is
Bruce Mowbray: nods.
Wol Euler: oh wow
Agatha Macbeth: Must have a passport like W&P
Wol Euler wonders who they are.
Agatha Macbeth: War and Peace
Wol Euler: oh
Wol Euler: right
Bruce Mowbray: Go to have a passport like Woly's
Wol Euler: I knew that
Bruce Mowbray: Oh to have*
Bruce Mowbray: not GO to have!
Bruce Mowbray: so many visa stamps
Agatha Macbeth: They say travel broadens the mind
Bruce Mowbray: travel broadens the mind and narrows the pocketbook.
Wol Euler: actually it's disappointing how seldom visas are stamped these days
Wol Euler: one often gets through with just a glance and a nod
Bruce Mowbray: Yes I have discovered that also.
Agatha Macbeth: So much for security
Bruce Mowbray: They never stamped my passport chronicled Canada, and I don't think they stamped it when I went to Scotland.
Bruce Mowbray: Before that I don't even remember.
Wol Euler: well, rest assured that a scan of your passport is in a computer record of each of those entries/exits
Bruce Mowbray: when I went to Canada, please excuse my Dragon. He is not completely trained yet.
Bruce Mowbray: Yes I'm sure that the computers are doing a good job.
Wol Euler: "chronicled" is "when I went to"? that's odd
Bruce Mowbray: Chronicled. . . was supposed to be "when I went to"
Bruce Mowbray: yes.
Bruce Mowbray: Yes The dragon is confused
Bruce Mowbray: and how are you this fine Easter Day, San?
Agatha Macbeth: Good Lord it's raining hard here all of a sudden
Bruce Mowbray: Oh dear! if it rains on Easter, isn't it supposed to rain for the next three Sundays in a row?
--BELL--1330
Bruce Mowbray: If it rains on Easter Sunday, it will rain every Sunday for 7 weeks.

Bruce Mowbray: Yikes!
Wol Euler: welcome back
Santoshima Resident: wb agatha, and bye all ~
Agatha Macbeth: I've never had so many crashes since I started using this new FS
Bruce Mowbray: bye for now, San!
Agatha Macbeth: Bye San
Agatha Macbeth: Ah people come and go eh
Agatha Macbeth: And here's QT to prove the point
Bruce Mowbray: Yes, the new FS has some challenges build into it.
Qt Core: Hi all!
Bruce Mowbray: Hey QT.
Agatha Macbeth: Buona sera
Wol Euler: hello qt
Wol Euler: or hello again :)
Qt Core: :-)
Agatha Macbeth: Encore une fois
Bruce Mowbray: I would like to show Qt the sandstone sculptures that my neighbor Matt made, OK?
Agatha Macbeth has now lost track of what we were talking about
Bruce Mowbray: http://www.hermitdog.com/dogstone/gallery.htm
Qt Core: those horrible memories of studying french ;-)
Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
Wol Euler: heheheheh
Wol Euler: I loved it, actually
Agatha Macbeth: Mon dieu
Bruce Mowbray loved his French lessons...
Wol Euler: I loved the wordiness of it
Agatha Macbeth: Yes the French are very wordy
Bruce Mowbray had a gf who thought two things ought always to be done in French:
Bruce Mowbray: drinking fine wine,
Qt Core: i found myself in a second year french class just after having studied it for 3/4 weeks
Agatha Macbeth: 0.0
Bruce Mowbray: and making love,
Wol Euler: heheheheh
Bruce Mowbray: so, my typist learned all the French he could.
Agatha Macbeth: I'll take the wine
Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
Bruce Mowbray: In vnio veritas!
Qt Core: my only bonus, milan dialect share several sound with french ;-)
Bruce Mowbray: vino*
Qt Core: very nice, briuce, remind me about incas
Bruce Mowbray: afk for a sec, please escuse.
Bruce Mowbray: excuse*
Agatha Macbeth: In vino veritas
Bruce Mowbray: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Down the hatch
Bruce Mowbray: gulp.
Wol Euler: skol!
Qt Core: i was quite sad in disappoint a very nice and gentle (if not angered) teacher
Bruce Mowbray listens to Qt....
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Qt Core: she was quite old, italian but studied french in France, she even thaught french in public school there
Bruce Mowbray: I was telling aggers and Wol before you arrived, that my friend Matt (the sculptor) has some native American blood in him,
Bruce Mowbray: and I think it comes out in his art.
Qt Core: she even had a light frech accent in her italian
Qt Core: ahh
Bruce Mowbray: She was Francais, then?
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, I noticed before people from north Italy sound a bit French
Qt Core: no, italian by birth but lived many years there i suppose
Bruce Mowbray: nods.
Qt Core: yesm the darker vowels
Bruce Mowbray: (Poners how people from southern Ohio tend to sound like Kentucyians.)
Bruce Mowbray: or West Virginians.
Agatha Macbeth: Is that your bit Brucie?
Bruce Mowbray: my bit?
Agatha Macbeth: Where you live?
Qt Core: you know, the Savoia, the kings of italy when we had those spoke french as first langiage, piedmont dialect as second and some italian too
Bruce Mowbray: Fortunately, I don't live in either West Virginia or Kentucky, but my typist does live in southern Ohio, unfortunately.
Agatha Macbeth nods
Agatha Macbeth: Aww you don't like it?
Bruce Mowbray: well, this is where my roots are.
Bruce Mowbray: 43 years.
Agatha Macbeth: Roots are good
Bruce Mowbray: Well, 43 years makes a lot of roots.
Agatha Macbeth: Certainly a long time yes
Bruce Mowbray: oh my, yes.
Agatha Macbeth: Hope you don't get many tornadoes
Bruce Mowbray: Actually, we get about one tornado every three years.
Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear
Bruce Mowbray: There are still metal proves hanging in trees at my neighbour's house.
Bruce Mowbray: And I think they got there about six years ago.
Agatha Macbeth: Don't do a Dorothy and end up in Oz
Bruce Mowbray: During one of our tornadoes.
Bruce Mowbray: Ha ha ha ha
Wol Euler: what's a "prove"?
Bruce Mowbray: I would not know where to find my red slippers.
Bruce Mowbray: That should have been "roofs," WOl.
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, what's a prove?
Bruce Mowbray: sry.
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Wol Euler pokes the dragon.
Bruce Mowbray: Metal roofs in the treetops.
Bruce Mowbray: Also pokes the Dragon
--BELL--1345
Agatha Macbeth: Roofs in the trees?
Bruce Mowbray: Actually the metal roofs have been wrapped around the trees and way high.
Bruce Mowbray: Tornadoes can do that. It is not possible for my typist to get tornado insurance on his home.... so if another tornado comes through and wipes him out, by by.
Bruce Mowbray: bye bye*
Agatha Macbeth: Let's hope they miss you then
Bruce Mowbray: Yes let's do hope that
Agatha Macbeth: There was one in Texas last week I think
Wol Euler nods.
Bruce Mowbray: Oh, this is the season for them
Agatha Macbeth: >.<
Bruce Mowbray: they will be popping up all over the midwest in April and May.
Agatha Macbeth: Hope Korel is OK in Oklahoma
Bruce Mowbray: I heard on the news this morning, or was it last night? that America has more tornadoes than any other country in the world.
Bruce Mowbray: Do you think the weather gods are trying to tell us something?
Agatha Macbeth: It certainly seems like it
Bruce Mowbray: I agree.
Bruce Mowbray: ha ha!
Agatha Macbeth: You get tornadoes, Japan gets earthquakes
Bruce Mowbray: Yes and California also gets earthquakes
Agatha Macbeth nods
Agatha Macbeth: Pacific rim
Bruce Mowbray: I have experienced a couple of earthquakes here in Ohio too, but very small ones.
Bruce Mowbray: Hours are caused by franking.
Bruce Mowbray: fracking*
Qt Core: sometimes i wonder if there really is a comfortable AND secure place to live
Bruce Mowbray: So that has now then put on hold until they can determine whether the fracking is actually causing the earthquakes
Agatha Macbeth: Britain is not bad, if you can put up with the rain
Bruce Mowbray: it's pretty serious business, you know.
Qt Core: so secure, but not really comfortable ;-)
Bruce Mowbray: The rain and the fog.
Agatha Macbeth: Yes i remember Pila talking about it
Bruce Mowbray: London Fog.
Bruce Mowbray: Well it's good not to get too comfortable wherever you are.
Agatha Macbeth: Oh we don't get fog any more, not since the clean air acts
Bruce Mowbray: Really?
Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
Wol Euler: yep
Bruce Mowbray: I cannot imagine London without fog.
Wol Euler: burning coal in the city was banned
Qt Core: cities generate too much heat, traditional fog aren't here anymore
Agatha Macbeth: Can't remember the last time I saw one
Wol Euler: and a few other measures, but that was teh main one
Bruce Mowbray: Wow.
Agatha Macbeth: Right
Qt Core: i mean real fog, 20 meter or less of visibility
Bruce Mowbray: omg.
Agatha Macbeth: Nobody uses solid fuel any more anyway I think
Bruce Mowbray: I guess Beijing is getting the fog now.
Qt Core: but that is smog, not fog
Agatha Macbeth: The price of 'progress' perhaps
Bruce Mowbray: Well what's the difference?
Qt Core: (btw i like fog)
Agatha Macbeth smiles
Bruce Mowbray: I mean if you no longer get fog because people are not using solid fuels,
Qt Core: real fog is basically water, smog is made by way worse chemicals
Agatha Macbeth: Yes London was notorious for it at one time
Bruce Mowbray: oh yes of course.
Bruce Mowbray: I get the drift now.
Agatha Macbeth throws the drift to Bruce
Wol Euler: yes, normal weather fog of course still happens, but the killing fogs, so dense that taxis drove with their door open to see the kerb, do not
Bruce Mowbray: Who was it? Oscar Wilde? who said that no one noticed the fog in London until some poet mentioned it.
Agatha Macbeth: Oh he would
Bruce Mowbray: ha ha!
Bruce Mowbray: Yikes!
Agatha Macbeth: Bless him
Qt Core: fog in milan: https://www.google.it/search?q=milan...w=1195&bih=852
Agatha Macbeth dies from laughing....
Bruce Mowbray: yes bless dear Oscar.
Bruce Mowbray: oh my,
Agatha Macbeth: Yay non-stick
Wol Euler: six minutes to Berti
Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
Agatha Macbeth: Is he on yet?
Bruce Mowbray: my typist always appreciated when he dies laughing and it doesn't stick.
Agatha Macbeth: Oh yes I see him
Bruce Mowbray: Bert!
Wol Euler: lovely photos, qt!
Wol Euler: mmhmm, we were talking just now about an english tarnslation
Wol Euler: *translation
Qt Core: walking in a square, in winter, when you could not see the other side of said square is nice
Bruce Mowbray: Those filed photos of Milan , a little scary, actually.
Bruce Mowbray: fog*
Bruce Mowbray: fog photos of Milan*
Agatha Macbeth: My my
Agatha Macbeth: 'Sorry about the f in fog'
Bruce Mowbray: Seems like a good place for a murder, or two.
Bruce Mowbray: :)
Agatha Macbeth: It does that Mr Holmes
Bruce Mowbray: Elementary, good Watson.
Qt Core: yes, and the Navigli (channels) are good to throw the body in
Agatha Macbeth: Hehe
Bruce Mowbray: Oh dear.
Agatha Macbeth: Shall we head to Berti then?
Wol Euler: yeah
Bruce Mowbray: Yes let us be gone.
Agatha Macbeth: Ciao QT
Wol Euler: bye qt, take care
Agatha Macbeth: May you be smog-free
Wol Euler smiles.
Qt Core: bye
Wol Euler: you are of coruse welcome to come with us, if you wish
Wol Euler: ten minute silent meditation
Qt Core: :-) no, thanks
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: okay, enjoy the evening
