    Bleu Oleander: nice!
    Riddle Sideways: thanks
    Adams Rubble: Ridle has been pointing out how grateful I should be to have a reason to go outside and he is correct
    Riddle Sideways: reading Wikipedia that it is Pieter Bruegel the Elder. because there were kids that became Pieter Bruegel the Younger

    Adams Rubble: My grahics card has a defect and everything turns blue sometimes
    Bleu Oleander: are you on an older computer?
    Adams Rubble: i have to use the SL viewer to go in and turn off the advance lighting
    Adams Rubble: no very new computer; it is the graphics card
    Bleu Oleander: should be able to adjust in prefs? no?
    Bleu Oleander: my graphics are set mid range and I have atmospheric shaders checked but not advanced lighting model
    Adams Rubble: The advanced lighting control is grayed out in my Phoenix
    Bleu Oleander: what is your main graphics slider set to?
    Adams Rubble: low
    Bleu Oleander: that's why
    Adams Rubble: ohh
    Bleu Oleander: try mid range
    Bleu Oleander: set draw distance to around 100 or so
    Bleu Oleander: and see if ok speed then
    Adams Rubble: thank you, I see it is available now
    Bleu Oleander: advanced lighting model slows my experience down too much ... but I find Atmospheric shaders adds enough without slowing my computer down too much
    Bleu Oleander: without both AS and ALM the world is not so pretty!
    Adams Rubble: I have kept things low so I don;t see all the clutter in the landscape :)
    Bleu Oleander: that's draw distance
    Bleu Oleander: I keep mine around 100

    Adams Rubble: would you like to listen?
    Riddle Sideways: nope paused it

    Riddle Sideways: the Barack Obama book is only 900 pages
    Adams Rubble: many pages
    Adams Rubble: yes but he wrote that\
    Riddle Sideways: written and read by him, so he would have to have only put the truth in it
    Riddle Sideways: sooooo, 1200 - 900 = 300 extra pages of ... ummm stuff
    Adams Rubble: or his version of it
    Riddle Sideways: /wonders about how many pages of truth (as he sees it) Trump's book will be ㋡
