Riddle Sideways: whoops, a windows pop-up made me look. News is scarier than Halloween
Adams Rubble: please do not tell me
Riddle Sideways: just the usual

Adams Rubble: maybe you could stop that because it doesn't do it to me
Adams Rubble: it's crazy out there

Riddle Sideways: it does report the weather out there
Riddle Sideways: and the football scores

Riddle Sideways: this fog is nice to hide in
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: has a quieting effect
Riddle Sideways: yes
Riddle Sideways: of course the pavillion is a quieting place
Adams Rubble nods
Adams Rubble: it always amazed me when coming to the pavilion in the middle of the night, everything dtill looked the same
Riddle Sideways: and many times at mid-day it was dark here
Riddle Sideways: a quick beautiful sunset too
Adams Rubble: Time does not have a great effect on the pavilion nor on the avatars
Riddle Sideways: last year, learned the environment controls to make a dark and stormy night on plot

Agatha Macbeth: Not very considerate of them
Riddle Sideways: nope. unscheduled outages is their phrase
Agatha Macbeth: I suppose your power lines have a long way to go
Riddle Sideways: this last one was blamed on an underground failure
Riddle Sideways: they have been burying pole lines which were starting fires
Riddle Sideways: oh well
Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear
Agatha Macbeth: Twisted fire starter
Riddle Sideways: is almost funny that during power outages people will post on the local gossip site "is your power out?"
Agatha Macbeth: Where were you when the lights went out?
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: common question
Riddle Sideways: last time, we were pre-heating the oven for dinner
Agatha Macbeth: Tricky
Riddle Sideways: so take it out of baking pans and cook it on stovetop. a match can light the top

Riddle Sideways: the other common question round here is "where were you when the Big One hit?"
Riddle Sideways: last week it was the 35th year anniversery of a Big One
Agatha Macbeth: ?
Riddle Sideways: Earth quakes
Agatha Macbeth: 1989
Riddle Sideways: epicenter was near here, but way up in San Francisco took most of the damage
Riddle Sideways: a World Series baseball game was just starting on TV
Riddle Sideways: so many were upset
Agatha Macbeth can imagine
Riddle Sideways: was ok that highway overpasses came down, but can't have the TV stop
Agatha Macbeth: Course not
Agatha Macbeth: Was it as bad as 1904?
Riddle Sideways: no
Agatha Macbeth: Good
Riddle Sideways: well 1904 started lots of fires and there was no efficient fire departments
Agatha Macbeth: Fire seems to be a thing
Riddle Sideways: Fires are much scarier then earthquakes
Agatha Macbeth: Hotter too
Riddle Sideways: ya that
Riddle Sideways: one has time to worry about fire approaching
Agatha Macbeth: Yes there is that
Riddle Sideways: did you do anything for birthday?

Agatha Macbeth: If someone mentions wizards what's the first name you think of?
Riddle Sideways: Dumbledor
Agatha Macbeth: Seriously???

Agatha Macbeth: Wouldn't most people either say Gandalf or Merlin?
Riddle Sideways: thought of them 3rd and 4th
--BELL--
Agatha Macbeth: Must be me then
Riddle Sideways: keep polling people to find out
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe it's not worth it then :p
Riddle Sideways: ok, too much work

Riddle Sideways: and need to switch the book series am listening to because it has gone beyond believable
Agatha Macbeth: Is that an issue?
Riddle Sideways: not really
Riddle Sideways: get thinking that there must be better books to spent the time on
Riddle Sideways: am on book 11 of the series and only listen when driving alone, so a long time
Agatha Macbeth: Interesting. Most people would listen to music
Riddle Sideways: me too.
Agatha Macbeth: Doesn't that distract you?
Riddle Sideways: well, I listen to enough music in the office and house
Riddle Sideways: and youtube gives lots of rockumentories
Agatha Macbeth: Well it would :p
