Adams Rubble: but I am inside, hidden away from the blaaaaah weather
Riddle Sideways: good
Adams Rubble: how is it there?
Riddle Sideways: the alerts say we are in extreme heat, but it is only going to be 85F

Agatha Macbeth waves
Adams Rubble: Hello Agatha :)
Agatha Macbeth: What are you doing over there?
Adams Rubble: ouch
Riddle Sideways: Hi Aggers
Riddle Sideways: is there any other cushions to lay on?
Agatha Macbeth: That one by the tiny cushion
Riddle Sideways: come on over Adams
Agatha Macbeth: No clue why they don't all do it
Adams Rubble: ask Bleu
Agatha Macbeth: I never see her :(
Riddle Sideways: not all cushions are created equal
Adams Rubble: can IM her :)
Agatha Macbeth: The mystery of the PaB cushions
Riddle Sideways: some noon (SLT) times Bleu logs in

Riddle Sideways: There should be a bit of mystery to all lives
Agatha Macbeth: Can't disagree with that
Riddle Sideways: Well you could

Agatha Macbeth: San is abandoning her land :(
Riddle Sideways: wha?
Agatha Macbeth: Now I've got fields to look at again
Adams Rubble: sorry to hear about san pulling up stakes
Riddle Sideways: was probably costing San tooo much
Adams Rubble: It's expensive
Riddle Sideways: for the prims she needed
Agatha Macbeth: It is a big area tho, must have been paying a bomb in tier
Agatha Macbeth: There seems to be a trend in recent years to move away from the mainland to private sims
Riddle Sideways: sorry to hear that.
Agatha Macbeth: Hence all the greenery hereabout
Riddle Sideways: maybe San could keep a smaller development
Agatha Macbeth: Dunno

Adams Rubble: don't mind the greenery; hate the military installarions
Riddle Sideways: yes
Agatha Macbeth: Yes we can do without those
Riddle Sideways: development (around here) seems to go in waves
Agatha Macbeth: What are these waves? :p
   --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: hmmm, a 90-sec pause to contemplate what are these waves.
Riddle Sideways: expressions, phrases, sayings that flow out and never make much sence

Agatha Macbeth: Hope Sable is OK
Adams Rubble: coming in waves makes lots of sense
Riddle Sideways: Sable is most probably hold up in A/C
Agatha Macbeth: Knowing Denver it might be snowing :p
Agatha Macbeth: Funny climate
Riddle Sideways: funny use of the word funny
Agatha Macbeth: Ho ho ho
Adams Rubble: We'll have fun fun fun until daddy takes the T-Bird away
Riddle Sideways: most of these sever weather events are not all that funny
Agatha Macbeth: As Virgil said
Riddle Sideways: but do like the Beach Boys songs
Adams Rubble: e'll have fun fun fun until Beryl washes the T-Bird away
Agatha Macbeth: Beryl the peril huricane

Riddle Sideways: heard a bunch of music this weekend that are not so usual to me
Riddle Sideways: e.g. Ziggy Marly. Stayed though the whole set
Riddle Sideways: what great positive messages
Agatha Macbeth: Yay
Agatha Macbeth: Ziggy played for time
Riddle Sideways: hour and half of many songs
Riddle Sideways: however, could only sit though 1.5 Primus songs
Riddle Sideways: *stay
Agatha Macbeth: Invented the stove
Riddle Sideways: if true that would have been good
Agatha Macbeth: Picnics were grateful
Agatha Macbeth: Just don't set the countryside alight
Riddle Sideways: no no no
   --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: our area had some illegal firework problems over the weekend
Agatha Macbeth: Illegal fireworks or illegal problems?
Riddle Sideways: seems, nothing says Fourth of July better than burning down the neighbors house
Adams Rubble: fireworks burned up 4000 acres of Pinelands in NJ
Riddle Sideways: oh dear
Riddle Sideways: fireworks are illegal in our county, but set fires anyway
Riddle Sideways: was typing 'man loses hand from an illegal firework' which made the pause an unpleasant mediatation
Agatha Macbeth: Captain Hook?
Agatha Macbeth: No, that was a crocodile
Riddle Sideways: oh thanks
Agatha Macbeth: The one that swallowed the alarm clock
Riddle Sideways: yes, recall it well
Riddle Sideways: why did the clock never wind down and quit????
Adams Rubble: it is a special quality of crocodiles
Riddle Sideways: so nice that nature gives warning signals of dangerious things ahead
Agatha Macbeth: Sometimes
Riddle Sideways: how does a rattle snake ever get something to eat if it alerts prey with the rattle
Agatha Macbeth: Turns it off then
Agatha Macbeth: Only used as a warning
Riddle Sideways: or Darwin award effect. Only the stupid get eaten
Riddle Sideways: funny how kids don't question the clock in the croc, but adults have to go sleepless thinking it over
Riddle Sideways: need to go back to Beginner Mind and just laugh and move on
Riddle Sideways: if only it was that easy
   --BELL--

Agatha Macbeth: Is the new viewer working for you?
Riddle Sideways: only on the new laptop.
Riddle Sideways: the old computer can't run the new viewer
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Agatha Macbeth: Mine was future proof fortunately
Agatha Macbeth: Just as well
Riddle Sideways: is pretty tho. clouds make shadow across the land
Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
Agatha Macbeth: I love the shadows
Agatha Macbeth: (Not Hank)
Riddle Sideways: ??? future proof?
Agatha Macbeth: Well up to date anyway
Agatha Macbeth: Really all you need to run SL
Adams Rubble thought one needed an iron fist to run SL
Agatha Macbeth: Or the NKVD

Riddle Sideways: the Mobile version of SL viewer (still in Beta) was enough on phone to check that one bot had walked off to Adams museum.
Adams Rubble: a bot in the museum?
Riddle Sideways: well, against the back wall
Agatha Macbeth: That would be handy
Agatha Macbeth: An Adams bot
Agatha Macbeth: Giving guided tours

Riddle Sideways: was brilliant in everything
Agatha Macbeth: 'You can make more money with a play that flops than one that's successful'
