In January there is a festival to watch eagles, that spend winter along the river. You can see a hundred eagles on a good day. As for another claim to fame, There used to be a huge ammunition factory there, which blew up one day several years ago.lexi2https://www.blogger.com/profile/04397545391582678065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-50319826047913331242012-09-30T22:29:17.696-05:002012-09-30T22:29:17.696-05:00Whats the dif<a href="http://www.reference.com/motif/language/cancelled-vs-canceled" rel="nofollow">Whats the dif</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-88350977361860164432012-09-30T21:55:11.258-05:002012-09-30T21:55:11.258-05:00Canceled.Canceled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-22814943650605617842012-09-30T21:43:07.380-05:002012-09-30T21:43:07.380-05:00I enjoyed the puzzle but it was hard for me and to...I enjoyed the puzzle but it was hard for me and took me all day, off and on.

Amazing the old friends you can find there. :) Some very interesting stuff I found.<br /><br />I'm not sure I could pick a real favorite. As long as it had 4 wheels and went fast. :) Not too many bikes racing back then. Tho we did see one guy break the record for bikes.

Over time I realized that the only time I get that message is when I try to view ANON @1;15's link. so I think I will let it go for now.<br /><br />We had a great time at our family party yesterday. My efforts were well appreciated. MY DIL loves my apple pie with its butter crust. A bonus for spending hours cooking up a storm for guests is that the next day I can relax and just heat up the left overs for myself and my son who lives here. Pas de Chat, I loved scalloped potatoes. we missed you. LOL<br /><br />My DIL bought herself the top of the line I-pad, very expensive, so we all gave her cash, All of us together didn't cover the cost, but it helped. I felt bad about not having a tangible gift so I ran out before she came and bought her red roses.Yellowrockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590216912123103432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-32128926845860614692012-09-30T17:34:11.500-05:002012-09-30T17:34:11.500-05:00OH NO !

I have to say, though, that I liked the puzzle a lot and thought it was very competently and wittily constructed. The first theme entry I filled was OLIVE BRANCH and that "unlocked" the theme for me. Neat-o theme indeed.<br /><br />Abejo, "une" is simply the French word for "a", the indefinite article. It can also mean "one."<br /><br />KEOKUK, ENATE, and EGON were unknowns for me.
