However, there is something about the curve on the<br />Coronado bridge and the lack of overhead super structure that gives you a feeling that at the apex of the rise you will soar out into space and not care at all where you land. The bridge is so high because they built it to allow the large ships from the naval base to pass under it. Downside, of course, is if the bridge were to come down, the ships would be trapped.<br /><br />BillG: Loved the sportsmanship.<br /><br />Blue Iris: If your daughter got the dog from a shelter, she should take the dog back there and explain the situation or just leave it there without any explanation.

Other than feel bad for her situation, I've got no advice. It was a very sad day for me when we made the final trip to the vet's office.<br /><br />Actually, I do have some advice. I'm figuring that this is a fairly commonplace situation. If she has a good relationship with a caring vet, I would guess they would be willing to help out your daughter somehow. It's always worth asking...<br /><br />CED (and others), since you enjoy the guitar as I do, you should go to Pandora and set up a personalized station as I've done. Include artists like Chet Atkins, Doc Watson, Merle Travis, Lenny Breau and maybe others. I also found a classical guitar station that I enjoy. Having inexpensive external speakers makes for a more enjoyable listening experience.Bill G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04142837879175561312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-13250757486217526762013-02-26T19:07:41.062-06:002013-02-26T19:07:41.062-06:00Pas de chat, maybe you will come to know us too we...Pas de chat, maybe you will come to know us too well in the future.

I never knew what the words were before & "a town in NJ" would have been the last thing i would have thought of... Sort of like their "bad moon on the rise/bathroom on the right," Unfortunately there was a side link on how to play Lodi on the guitar, & I have been playing it all day. Did not get back to the Blog until now.<br /><br />A song I always hated was the Rolling Stones "Beast of Burden."

Since I'm only 4'11", I end up buying dresses that look like sacks on me. She can alter them so I feel beautiful. Don't know what I would do without her. I just cross stitched 20 panels. When the weather clears up she's going to help me put them into a quilt.<br /><br />Does anyone here collect STAMPs? We have collected a few panels that we have an interest in.
