Riddle Sideways: hi
Bruce Mowbray: Hi.
Bruce Mowbray: Recovered from the party yet?
Riddle Sideways: so many mystifying things
Bruce Mowbray: Yup.
Bruce Mowbray: Care to elaborate?
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: tried to fall from the sky and kept hitting other plots
Riddle Sideways: then could hear Bleu's music
Bruce Mowbray: Is it plots all the way down, then?
Riddle Sideways: all the way in here
Bruce Mowbray: Hmmm.
Bruce Mowbray: I enjoyed reading what you emailed us from Pema - circa 2010.
Riddle Sideways: oh, that was a nice find
Bruce Mowbray: I could imagine him in Kyoto writing that.
Riddle Sideways: yes
Riddle Sideways: there are gems like that all though the wiki
Bruce Mowbray nods.
Bruce Mowbray: Do you remember the short story by J.D. Salinger... "Teddy" ?
Riddle Sideways: ummmm, no
Bruce Mowbray: Well, I read it several decades ago,
Bruce Mowbray: and some lines are coming back to me from the story...
Bruce Mowbray: while reading TSK.
Bruce Mowbray: As usual, it involves an adolescent boy and his younger sister....
Bruce Mowbray: (like Catcher...)
Bruce Mowbray: At one point, Teddy is watching his baby sister in a highchair, drinking her milk....
Riddle Sideways: ok
Bruce Mowbray: and he says, "It was like God pouring God into God, if you know what I mean."
Bruce Mowbray: That's the feeling I got when I read Pema's "gem."
Bruce Mowbray: Time pouring time into time.
Riddle Sideways: sounds exactly like TSK
Bruce Mowbray: Yes.
Riddle Sideways: bet J.D. stole the phrase and altered a little
Bruce Mowbray: Cosmos pouring Cosmos into Cosmos, maybe.
Bruce Mowbray: ha ha.

Bruce Mowbray: Really....?
Bruce Mowbray: I knew Eliza would not be there.
Riddle Sideways: knowing Eliza would keep us in line
Riddle Sideways: would bring people
Bruce Mowbray: Probably worn out from the party, huh?
Riddle Sideways: Eden was sick yesterday too
Riddle Sideways: somebody with a cold must have been touching the cake
Bruce Mowbray: :)
Riddle Sideways: hope it isn't a virus
Bruce Mowbray: Bleu did a great job of setting up the scene....
Riddle Sideways: yes
Riddle Sideways: the photos are great
Bruce Mowbray nods.
Bruce Mowbray: I took a couple dozen myself, but didn't pass them around... (yet).
Riddle Sideways: took 2 and they came out as bad as the viewer shows
Bruce Mowbray: Oh dear.
Bruce Mowbray: (getting a whole lot of lag today...)
Riddle Sideways: SL viewer showed the cards having big box fronts and backs
Bruce Mowbray nods.
Bruce Mowbray: I never use the viewer's camera.
Riddle Sideways: FS viewer did not show Stevania's feathers
Bruce Mowbray: I always use SnagIt, instead.
Riddle Sideways: oh /listens
Riddle Sideways: screen capture?
Bruce Mowbray: SnagIt is an excellent screen capture program, yes.
Bruce Mowbray: It will capture anything on the screen - including movies.
Bruce Mowbray: And then you can put in lettering, arrows, etc.
Bruce Mowbray: I got a free copy that is now about a decade old...
Riddle Sideways: letters and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each to be used as evidence
Bruce Mowbray: but it works great.
Bruce Mowbray nods.
Riddle Sideways: use PrintKey2000 which is probably 16 years old :)
Bruce Mowbray: Hmmmm.
Bruce Mowbray: I learned the hard way that Apple keyboard do not have "Print Screen" keys.
Bruce Mowbray: +s
Riddle Sideways: that +s could go several places
Bruce Mowbray: i could probably have figured out some other way of activating SnagIt, but I didn't.
Bruce Mowbray: es, the kboard I'm using right now seems to be sticking...
Bruce Mowbray: and skipping keys.
Riddle Sideways: this one also
Riddle Sideways: has for several months
Bruce Mowbray: Don't know why that would be.
Bruce Mowbray: Could it be SL?
Bruce Mowbray: Now I'm SURE it is SL.

Bruce Mowbray: I needed to reread the intervening stuff.
Riddle Sideways: am trying to read that intervening stuff
Bruce Mowbray: ....with the little diagrams ....?
Riddle Sideways: a sentence will twist and an image takes the concentration awwwwwayyyyyyy
