Hi, Rave. I'm so glad you're back. Your photos are wonderful, as usual. I especially loved the one of the lake.

HI RAVE!!!! I am so glad to hear from you!
Well the lake was very fun!! No alligators, yay!! It did get a lil over crowded but a beautiful small storm scared everyone away and we were even blessed with a gorgeous rainbow. So happy! Only downside was that the fish, although cute, were mean little turds!! One even made me bleed! Last time we went there we were on the other side of the rock and the fish only tickled. I think they are two different kinds though!

Hi Sandy, Tritium & Celti!! Good to see you again. 
Yes indeed, Tritium. I think yer the only one.

Had a nice, albeit short visit with Terry today. Too rainy for any outdoors adventures. Then I performed surgery on a stubborn bot. Removed enough hair from that thing to stuff a mattress! Must've been previously owned by Cousin It. Or a sasquatch. Even had hair inside the wheel gearboxes. How in the heck was it able to make it in there?! Those things are closed up tight as a drum.
Have a good weekend, Folks. BF and I might go to a Drive-In! I didn't think that those still existed. Ahhh, memories.
Here are the cute fluff balls with Momma hen
There are really cute. I think my favorite is the dark one.
Your posts remind me of a time when I was a kid, and it was around Easter. I don't remember what kind of store it was now, but in the store window were a bunch of eggs hatching into chicks, and I watched while they came out of their shells. I remember they were all under bright lights which I think gave off heat. Anyway, watching those chicks hatching was a childhood memory I'll keep forever. How old was I? Maybe 5?
Yes, memories! I think I've seen one every once in a while, driving somewhere way out in the country. I guess they keep a few going for the retro chic.Have a good weekend, Folks. BF and I might go to a Drive-In! I didn't think that those still existed. Ahhh, memories.
Sunday, Bill & I plan to see an IMAX adventure movie. He saw on a TV somewhere that it's the latest thing. This one looks like it'll suit Bill fine. He likes this kind of action, and I think I'll probably enjoy it, too, though it's not so much my kind of movie, though I did like Mission Impossible on TV long, long ago.
I love the lil fluff balls so much already! The dark one is actually the Momma hens biological baby. The white chick's biological mother is a white leghorn, and the brown one belongs to either our Buff Orpington or New Hampshire hen. The Dad of the chick's is an Ameraucana.
Speaking of IMAX, how many of you have seen a film in this format? It's really compelling. The first one I saw was To Fly, which makes you really feel as if you are in the plane. I remember a scene of going over green-clad mountains and hoping we didn't hit them, we came so close! That was at the Smithsonian in Washington, one of the few IMAX theaters back then.
Then my boyfriend at the time worked on Living Planet, and some of his Brooklyn buddies are shown exercising on a skyscraper roof. That movie wasn't as good, but my friend had a part in it, albeit small, so we had to see it, of course.
The next one was probably Tomorrow in Space, which we saw at the Museum of Natural History in NYC. I think that's the first time I had a good view of the earth from outer space.
On our way across the country, Bill & I visited the Grand Canyon, and of course, we stopped to see the IMAX film about it: Grand Canyon: The Hidden Secrets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
We saw one other some years ago at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. Maybe it was The Philadelphia Anthem? I think so. Not that memorable.
There was one about the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, I heard, Majestic White Horses, but it didn't come to an IMAX theater I could easily get to. I think it had limited screening here. I'd love to see that one sometime. Do they ever show the old ones?

IMAX is cool, but IMAX 3D!the last one I saw had me ducking!
What was it, and where did you see it?
Haven't had money for the movies in awhile. Resident Evil: Retribution. AMC Mercado, Santa Clara.

That looks like an adventure film, too, not the traditional IMAX documentary. I guess that's the latest thing, if Bill can be believed.
Sandy, Tom Cruise actually did that stunt, hanging on the outside of the plane, himself...a total of eight times to get it right. He's over 50 now so while I'm not a big fan my hat's off to him. About 200mph up to around 3000 feet each time. He was almost frozen with each take because of the air and wind chill temperatures.
Better him than me! Were there any safety features in case he lost his grip? There must have been.
