Owen Wilson Says "Wow"

A lot.  A whole lot.

Largest Pyramid in the World

The world's largest pyramid is not in Egypt; it's the Great Pyramid of Cholula in Cholula de Rivadabia near Mexico City.

Elephant Cam

From the website: Visit a regularly frequented waterhole and the open plains of Africa with live streaming webcam views. Situated in the busiest elephant corridor that joins the Chobe National Park and the Hwange National Park, Camp Kuzuma is a private and exclusive safari lodge situated in the pristine Kazuma Forest reserve in the Chobe region of Botswana. Visitors will have the chance to see an abundance of wildlife, including elephants and lions.

Unlike most cams, it has a microphone and even if there's no large animals getting a drink, it's cool to listen to the birds and the wind blowing. I've never seen any lions around the waterhole, and usually there's not much going on, but this was the scene a few hours ago:

Actually, just before I decided to post this, I checked back in and it's pretty much still the same scene, although the elephants have moved a few feet to the left. Yes,I say "elephants" because behind the one elephant is another, smaller one - the baby of the larger elephant, I reckon.

This was the view earlier this a.m.

If you're disappointed in not being able to see the baby, don't feel lonely; I watched the cam for an hour earlier and only got small glimpses of it, mostly its trunk.

Here's some consolation:

The Hay Pusher

I'm not sure where this is, but I believe it's in one of the Scandinavian countries.  Where ever it is, I've watched it several times over the course of the last year or so when I first found the video.  Such a lovely young lady...and I can sit and watch somebody work for hours! -grin-

Sit Down

Take a load off.

You Are a Country Chair

You are down to earth and very practical. You like things that last, and you always look for craftsmanship. Some may call you old fashioned, and it's true that many of your favorite things come from deep in the past. You like to slow down and live life right. You believe that mistakes get made when we rush. You believe that most things in life are a waste of time. You focus your attention on what truly matters.
