Friends who were on evacuation alert have been told they are safe. The fire didn't get inside Yosemite Park, but the west roads into the park aren't much to look at anymore. What's the x-word for conditions around here? Ah yes, "SERE".Clear Ayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14463641770718104835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-16110251644295122222008-08-04T22:59:00.000-05:002008-08-04T22:59:00.000-05:00Clear ayes, have the fires been beaten into submis...Clear ayes, have the fires been beaten into submission?Crockett1947https://www.blogger.com/profile/06404431645533093707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-13504763525130114592008-08-04T22:49:00.000-05:002008-08-04T22:49:00.000-05:00RE: Razzberry's 10 good reasons to golf: I've alw...RE: Razzberry's 10 good reasons to golf: I've always been curious why Husband had become so quickly addicted to golf.

Under Firefox I am put back at the top of the page. On IE, I stay where I was when I refreshed. <BR/><BR/>I still have different experiences with returning from a link. Sometimes I return back to the comment that had the link and sometimes I find myself back at the top of the page. I can't make any rhyme nor reason for this one. It doesn't seem to be browser specific. Perhaps it's author specific and depends upon how the author inserted the link. Today all of your links brought me back to where I was when I clicked, using Firefox. <BR/><BR/>Drdad's 6:45 comment took me back to the top of the page. The link has also not changed color. Same for his 8:01 links. Argyle's 9:26 links the same. Ditto Danielle's 2:03 ones. And Razzberry's golf reasons. <BR/><BR/>I'll post this and do the same exercise with IE to see how they compare.Crockett1947https://www.blogger.com/profile/06404431645533093707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-42568529976655936752008-08-04T20:28:00.000-05:002008-08-04T20:28:00.000-05:00razzberry, after seeing #10, I'm polishing my driv...razzberry, after seeing #10, I'm polishing my driver.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05476669744435495547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-9468582278420205202008-08-04T20:22:00.000-05:002008-08-04T20:22:00.000-05:00Razzberry, I think I've got some old clubs around ...Razzberry, I think I've got some old clubs around here somewhere.

It has no meaning out of context (and certainly no relevance to the xword puzzle), but I thought it might stir some comment from the sirens. There's a bakery around the corner in the final scene, it's 4am, and Nicholson's character says that line to explain why they'd be out walking the streets at that hour.embienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01991001167394653649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-12671158807527538292008-08-04T16:52:00.000-05:002008-08-04T16:52:00.000-05:00Crockett1947, I like the song.
