    Rhiannon Dragoone: Your computer is now set to sl time!
    Lucinda Lavender: yes
    Lucinda Lavender: usual is as a west coaster
    Lucinda Lavender: tho I am on the east coast today
    stevenaia Michinaga: :)
    Rhiannon Dragoone: Well, just as long as you're close to a body of water
    Lucinda Lavender: right!
    Lucinda Lavender: I like water
    Lucinda Lavender: drinking it now
    Rhiannon Dragoone: I'm drinking some Coca Cola
    Rhiannon Dragoone: Like it too.
    Lucinda Lavender: refreshing
    stevenaia Michinaga: drinking Balvenie w/ friends
    Lucinda Lavender: what is Balvenie?
    Lucinda Lavender: scotch?
    stevenaia Michinaga: single malt scotch
    Rhiannon Dragoone: Sounds like one of the former Yugoslav republics
    Lucinda Lavender: ah...
    Lucinda Lavender: a warming effect with it?
    Rhiannon Dragoone: Croatia, Sebria, bosnia-Hezogovina, and Balvenie
    Rhiannon Dragoone: Hi Cystal

    Rhiannon Dragoone: HI Storm
    Bleu Oleander: hi Storm :)
    Storm Nordwind: Hi everyone :)
    Lucinda Lavender: Hi Storm:)
    Rhiannon Dragoone: So did we ever figure out whether the next themed discussion is tomorrow at 1pm?
    Rhiannon Dragoone: Lucinda got us thinking about her computer time and I lost track
    Lucinda Lavender: we come here 4x a day to explore the nature of reality through out own experiences
    stevenaia Michinaga: :)
    stevenaia Michinaga: yes, got distracted, will continue looking, Rhi
    Lucinda Lavender: :)
    Rhiannon Dragoone: ty, Steve
    Rhiannon Dragoone: Anyway, I did target practice today and got 100% at 25 feet. It's a zen experience for me; as is cleaning my revolver afterward
    Rhiannon Dragoone: So I'm both stocked and zoned.
    Rhiannon Dragoone: *stoked
    Rhiannon Dragoone: Well, maybe stocked too. lol
    Storm Nordwind: I do know there's an Art History workshop tomorrow at noon in the Museum
    Rhiannon Dragoone: Yeah, I think there's a couple of art events tomorrow
    Rhiannon Dragoone: At least, I got several notices for this, that, and the other art exhibits
    stevenaia Michinaga: I tend to loose SL notices in my inventory.... forever
    Storm Nordwind shoots 100% at 90ft, though admittedly that's with bow and arrows :)
    Rhiannon Dragoone: steve, me too.
    stevenaia Michinaga: best to check back at 1:00 PM
    stevenaia Michinaga: sorry
    Rhiannon Dragoone: Well, don't take away from my triumph, Storm. And hey, if I were to use a scoped rifle with a laser sight, make it 1/2 mile
    Rhiannon Dragoone: 6 .357 magnum holes will stop even a grisley
    Storm Nordwind never uses sights but will congratulate Rhi
    Rhiannon Dragoone: And I could earn my Sharpshooter, 8th bar patch, 2 bars short of expert
    Lucinda Lavender: sounds like quite an accomplishment
    Rhiannon Dragoone: ty, Lucinda
    Rhiannon Dragoone: Didn't know I'd bring out the competiitiveness in Storm.
    stevenaia Michinaga: I used to shoot bow in Northern Michigan, they had the equivalent of an 18 target course, no sights or compound bows, just practice and calm makes for good aim
    Storm Nordwind: Apples and oranges
    stevenaia Michinaga: lots of practice
    Storm Nordwind: Sounds like field archery Steve, which used to be my favorite in the UK
    Rhiannon Dragoone: I do reasonably well in practical (i.e., combat) shooting too. Never hit granny, and usually hit the bad guy
    stevenaia Michinaga: nods
    Rhiannon Dragoone: My main problem is getting the casings out; I can speed load so as to shoot 12 rounds as fast as with a semi-auto
    Lucinda Lavender: the only sport of this sort I have expereinced is fencing
    Lucinda Lavender: foil
    Lucinda Lavender: in high school
    --BELL--
    stevenaia Michinaga: I feel any "tool" used with intensity becomes a kind of meditation
    stevenaia Michinaga: foil, bow, pen
    Lucinda Lavender: nodding
    Lucinda Lavender: camera
    Bleu Oleander: computer
    Storm Nordwind: Welcome back Steve
    stevenaia Michinaga: thx
