    Bleu Oleander: hiya Bruce
    Bleu Oleander: how are you?
    Bruce Mowbray: Hi, Bleu.
    Bruce Mowbray: I'm good, thanks.
    Bruce Mowbray: I saw you making new sculptures down there.
    Bleu Oleander: yes, putting artists’ names under the pieces
    Bruce Mowbray: That one with the brain cells is amazing.
    Bruce Mowbray: Great.
    Bruce Mowbray: I think mine is the only one with a notecard, though.
    Bleu Oleander: so far yes
    Bleu Oleander: like your shirt :)
    Bruce Mowbray: kk, I will give you one... Just a sec, please.
    Bleu Oleander: oh ty!
    Bruce Mowbray: I made it so it can be modified and/or given away.
    Bleu Oleander: great :)
    Bleu Oleander: what have you been busy with these days?
    Bruce Mowbray: Did you hear that there are almost 3 million signatures on the petition to repeal the Brexit vote?
    Bleu Oleander: oh yes I did hear that ... interesting buyers remorse :)
    Bruce Mowbray: Yeppers.
    Bruce Mowbray: I think they might have a chance -- especially since it has been revealed that the main supporters of Brexit lied.
    Bleu Oleander: people should think about what they're doing before voting for something like that
    Bruce Mowbray: For sure... but it was also a deceptive campaign.
    Bruce Mowbray: and one with enormous world-wide consequences,
    Bleu Oleander: yes almost to be expected these days unfortunately
    Bruce Mowbray: potentially catastrophic.
    Bleu Oleander: indeed
    Bruce Mowbray: There are many steps to be taken for the full implementation,
    Bruce Mowbray: so several opportunities to reverse... or at least not enact.
    Bleu Oleander: did I hear it would take about 2 years?
    Bruce Mowbray: Yes, at least that.
    Bruce Mowbray: Mick could tell us more...
    Bleu Oleander: our friends in Europe are very sad and upset by this
    Bruce Mowbray: and/or the other one who lives in London... tries to remember her name.
    Bruce Mowbray: Yes, indeed they are.
    Bleu Oleander: I haven't run into anyone who was for it
    Bruce Mowbray: Why am I blocking that Pabber's name?
    Bruce Mowbray: Lives in London...
    Bruce Mowbray looks through his list of friends.
    Bruce Mowbray: Aggers!
    Bleu Oleander: ah yes
    Bruce Mowbray: :-)
    Bleu Oleander: haven't seen Aggers in a few weeks (waves)
    Bruce Mowbray: Well, we haven't had many sessions during that time, either.
    Bleu Oleander: perhaps working on her TSK art project :)
    Bruce Mowbray: I hope so!
    Bruce Mowbray: I'd forgotten more about building than I ever knew, it felt like.
    Bruce Mowbray: Couldn't even remember how to link objects.
    Bleu Oleander: easy to do ... I forget a lot of the details too
    Bruce Mowbray: or make them spin.
    Bruce Mowbray nods.
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    Bruce Mowbray: Are you REALLY getting temps in the 120's down there?
    Bleu Oleander: yep
    Bruce Mowbray: we hear horrible news about that.
    Bruce Mowbray: OMG.
    Bleu Oleander: cooled off a bit now
    Bruce Mowbray: Down to 110, now?
    Bleu Oleander: 105-110ish
    Bleu Oleander: lol
    Bruce Mowbray: YIKES!
    Bruce Mowbray: Yikes!
    Bleu Oleander: but its a dry heat
    Bleu Oleander: ha ha
    Bruce Mowbray: Well, we have a very humid heat.
    Bleu Oleander: actually the mornings are quite nice if you get out early
    Bruce Mowbray: When it gets close to 90, everyone just wilts.
    Bruce Mowbray: I get out early and walk a mile every morning... err, my typist does.
    Bleu Oleander: yes, I remember those east coast summers!
    Bleu Oleander: yes, we do too
    Bruce Mowbray: Yes. HOT and HUMID.
    Bruce Mowbray: That's wonderful, Bleu.
    Bruce Mowbray: Do you have animals to walk with you?
    Bleu Oleander: have to walk before the sun comes over the mountain
    Bruce Mowbray: Ahhhh.
    Bleu Oleander: its too hot for our dog right now
    Bruce Mowbray remembers Kate Smith singing...
    Bleu Oleander: she's gotten a bit slow these days
    Bruce Mowbray: I would think it would be too hot... especially since dogs can't sweat.
    Bleu Oleander: hot on their feet too

    Bleu Oleander: ha fun!
    Bruce Mowbray: :)
    Bruce Mowbray: I remember her well from my childhood.
    Bleu Oleander: yes
    Bruce Mowbray: Eat your heart out, Lindsey Lohan!
    Bleu Oleander: lol
    Bruce Mowbray: Did you know that Lohan is waging a one-woman Tweet attack on Trump?
    Bleu Oleander: no haven't been following twitter recently
    Bruce Mowbray: I don't tweet much myself, but I've heard about what she's doing.
    Bruce Mowbray: I think Susan Boyle might have been inspired by Kate Smith.
    Bruce Mowbray: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jca_p_3FcWA
    Bleu Oleander: you know I never thought about that, but you could be right
    Bruce Mowbray: I'm inspired by BOTH of them.
    Bleu Oleander: are you a singer?
    Bruce Mowbray: Not any more!
    Bruce Mowbray: Ha ha.
    Bleu Oleander: hey have you checked out the SL13 party?
    Bruce Mowbray: Not yet. Is it happening now?
    Bleu Oleander: yes
    Bleu Oleander: http://www.slcommunitycelebration.info/
    Bleu Oleander: lots of events
    Bruce Mowbray: Hmmm. I think I've seen mention of it in the Firefox viewer login.
    Bruce Mowbray: TY.
    Bleu Oleander: I'll probably take a look just to see what people are doing ... lots of creative ideas
    Bruce Mowbray: almost 19 million views so far for that Susan Boyle video.
    Bleu Oleander: wow nice for her
    Bruce Mowbray: A lot of those were mine!
    Bruce Mowbray: ha ha.
    Bleu Oleander: lol
    Bruce Mowbray: well, less than half a dozen, actually.
    Bleu Oleander: didn't think you did the 19 million ha ha
    Bruce Mowbray: Nope, not alone, anyway.
    Bruce Mowbray: I'm curious about something.
    Bruce Mowbray: Your sculpture has the name "Skye" in it.
    Bruce Mowbray: Why is that?
    Bleu Oleander: what do you mean?
    Bruce Mowbray: Just a moment... I'll zoom in and report back.
    Bleu Oleander: the red one?
    Bruce Mowbray: No the Skye one is Xirana's!!
    Bruce Mowbray: The one with brain cells.
    Bleu Oleander: ah yes Xiri's
    Bruce Mowbray: Sry, I got the wrong sculptor.
    Bruce Mowbray is looking at the red one now....
    Bruce Mowbray: It is beautiful, but I'm afraid I'd need a notecard to understand it.
    Bleu Oleander: its just 1 prim :)
    Bruce Mowbray: ahhh!
    Bruce Mowbray: I have no idea how many prims mine is.
    Bleu Oleander: I'll have to do a notecard
    Bruce Mowbray nods, yes, please make one.
    Bleu Oleander: looks like just 2?


    --BELL—


    Bruce Mowbray: kk, I guess I'm still under the limit, then.
    Bleu Oleander: oh yes!
    Bleu Oleander: limit is 15
    Bruce Mowbray: kk, ty.
    Bleu Oleander: do you want your spin to be from the blue ball or the larger one?
    Bleu Oleander: some scripts operate from the root prim (the prim you link last)
    Bruce Mowbray: Well, I sort of wanted the blue ball to be the "center of everything..."
    Bleu Oleander: ok then good
    Bruce Mowbray: so everything revolves around it.
    Bleu Oleander: nice ok
    Bruce Mowbray: :)
    Bleu Oleander: its perfect then
    Bruce Mowbray: ha ha.
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    Bruce Mowbray: as they say, It is what it is.
    Bleu Oleander: I like that image from the old pavilion
    Bleu Oleander: seems iconic
    Bruce Mowbray: I think it might be yours, actually.
    Bruce Mowbray: I should have checked the copyright.
    Bleu Oleander: oh, well I did many of that shot
    Bleu Oleander: ha ha!
    Bruce Mowbray: yes, i know... Beautiful!
    Bleu Oleander: made all kinds of things using a variation of that
    Bruce Mowbray nods.
    Bleu Oleander: there's someone on each cushion :)
    Bruce Mowbray: I Yes! Cool!
    Bruce Mowbray: Might have been a special meeting.
    Bleu Oleander: I could probably name everyone lol
    Bruce Mowbray: ha ha!
    Bruce Mowbray: I'll bet you could!
    Bruce Mowbray: I think that was before I had antlers.
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    Bleu Oleander: the pre-antlers days
    Bruce Mowbray: Ooops, I've dated myself.
    Bruce Mowbray: yeppers.
    Bruce Mowbray: Still a fawn, as it were.  A Bambi.
    Bleu Oleander: I have no idea which avi I was using then ... one of many
    Bruce Mowbray nods.
    Bruce Mowbray: I sort of like the a-symmetry of the outer sphere....
    Bruce Mowbray: when I click on it, it makes the viewer do strange things.
    Bleu Oleander: yes me too
    Bruce Mowbray: subtle things.
    Bleu Oleander: this was my shirt using that design
    Bruce Mowbray: Wow! Cool!
    Bleu Oleander: I'll see if I have a guy version
    Bruce Mowbray: Looks to me like there are more avis on your shirt than on my sphere.
    Bleu Oleander: yes, a fuller house
    Bruce Mowbray nods.
    Bruce Mowbray: VERY nice design.
    Bruce Mowbray: Blue shirt for Bleu.
    Bleu Oleander: this was a photo of the fountain
    Bruce Mowbray: Oh my. Very nice.
    Bruce Mowbray: I'm going to need to go during the next drop. Hope that's all right.
    Bleu Oleander: oh sure
    Bleu Oleander: me too actually
    Bruce Mowbray: kk.
    Bruce Mowbray: You are the only avi who has come to this session in the past month.
    Bruce Mowbray: besides myself.
    Bruce Mowbray: I guess folks want to get outside in the nice weather...
    Bleu Oleander: well not normally home at this time on sat
    Bleu Oleander: yes
    Bruce Mowbray: ahhhh.
    Bleu Oleander: catching up on my weekend chores
    Bruce Mowbray: For sure.
    Bruce Mowbray: I keep putting mine off.
    Bleu Oleander: ha ha
    Bruce Mowbray: a good reason to have company -- motivation for cleaning house.
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    Bruce Mowbray: :)
    Bleu Oleander: well nice to see you and chat
    Bleu Oleander: hope you enjoy your day
    Bruce Mowbray: Good to see you, too, Bleu.
    Bleu Oleander: take care
    Bleu Oleander waves
