The red is the reflector of a car parked in the driveway next door, It is a snow cat for the critters to enjoy, ears are strawberries, carrot nose, green pepper smile and walnut eyes!

XM is satellite based, not air waves. As long as the sky is visible (and the antenna was installed properly), it should work. I spend most of my life in the mountains, and the only time I ever had a consistent problem getting a signal was on the many drives I made between Lake Tahoe and Placerville on Highway 50. There's a section of that drive where the mountains rise steeply on both sides, blocking the antenna's view of the sky, and for about 10 or 15 minutes, XM just won't play.

There are tons of places here that XM won't play...roads are frequently carved out of the sides of the mountains without regard to maintaining a good southern exposure for the XM satellite to hit the antenna. There are even stretches along the interstates that the signal gets iffy. Generally, FM signals are more reliable here than XM.

Remember, I was in Vietnam. The Navy didn't allow mascots on stateside bases or other established installations. As far as I know, residents of military housing are allowed pets.

They are. We've placed Pekes at bases (and had surrenders from bases too, alas).

Hey Jim,

How close to Quebec City are you? I just found out about this (external link). It's my ultimate airshow fantasy come true...

Love the contrast between the white swans and the deep blue sky here Chris. :D

Thanks. The sun was really amazing last weekend. That's pretty much the way it looked to the naked eye. The whites were mind-boggling. And listening to the air travel through the feathers made it truly magical.

That is a great air show for sure. I would love to go there. :)
Quebec City itself is a great place, full of photo op's.

And, you are WAY closer to me than Quebec City is. ;)
Deb & Crissa are the close ones, not too far away at all.
Weren't you just touting the merits of Google? :lol:

Cute idea for the face features.

Thanks for claifying the red, on a better monitor I might be able to see the car, not on this one however.

Yes Deb my mom is 75 and is quite spry. She has 3 older sisters and every one of them had/have SERIOUS issues with wrinkles but she seems to have been spared by comparison.

Great Robert and Lonnie!! Those are the moments if possible you flop down with them and make a fool of yourself wallowing with them and praising like they just saved Timmy from the well. They remember stuff like that and are eager to come next time too.

I'm so terrible about geography. When Kit said Puerto Rico and "tropics" in the same post, I felt confuzzled and had to Google... I always thought PR was east of New York, for some reason. Probably because of Nikki Cruz's book "Run, Baby, Run", that I read in the 70's. :rolleyes:

:lol:I think there are almost as many Puerto Ricans in NY as PR anyhow:lol:

I know how XM works :lol: And there are lots of times we could still see the sky but still it was iffy if at all. :p Can't answer for the installation... it's Dan's car not mine :p Heck at times on our last shooting outing we couldn't even see the forest for the trees... brought that little saying to light of it's true meaning! :p ;)

Now I didn't know that about the southern exposure requirement... interesting... and FM still stinks ;) In some of those places! he he he he

Crissa, I'm jealous... when we get snow its always too cold to play. Then when it warms up, its already dirty and it melts too fast anyway. Loved the shots/videos, though. :D

Cat - Puerto Rico sounds fantastic. I know people that have been there and they loved it. They loved Jamica too, lol. Some people get to do all the traveling, I tell ya. I'm a map nut, I know where most places are. When I was a kid I would send in all the post cards from magazines that gave away travel brochures and maps. Then I'd spend HOURS under my bed perusing them.

I gotta mosey over to another screen and pay bills. :(
