No worries, Spud. I don’t know, either. I don’t think I’m supposed to know. I’m just skipping along the thread, nodding and smiling like I speak the language: _That’s right! The northern lights ARE beautiful this cloudy day!_ 🙂

Great advice. In post 31 Beckdawrek uses the word “Unusual”… makes me think of this thread… which makes me think of unusual… I think I’m caught in an endless loop!

You’ve got a spider in your bedroom. Or maybe a giraffe?

If it was mostly white it might have been a Polar Bear.

In 9.5 minute intervals.

Jeez, guys! Can’t you just be happy for me?  
I saw something. Got to dance around, pissing the cats off and making the pups bark happily.  
And then I got to see it again on Valentine’s day.  
All in all. A good week.

I’ll play. You saw a  
GIANT WOODPECKER -  
hey wouldn’t it be uber cool if it was an ivory billed wp,  
nah they’re rare even extinct,  
but you time travel, apparently  
so maybe you did see one…

Those ivory billed \*Woodpeckers \*were sighted in Arkansas once.  
Some pecker-woods claimed it to be the truth.  
I have my doubts.

Munch munch lunch!  
Squiggly\*\* squiggly!  
Peace sign and a wave!!  
Yep, yep!

Saw it again.

(In lieu of a descriptive thread title: this is a thread about a person who is doing something in front of a camera and I was directed as to where I could watch it live. In my state of near housebound-ness it gives me great pleasure to see this)

**~VOW** - I just spit tea allover my computer. Now all my viewing will be in a nice sepia tone. 😃

(Ooh! Sepia gives folks a nice tan look!)
