Going Down Under

You Should Travel to Oceania

You're looking for a good time without too much fuss. The beautiful scenery of Australia and New Zealand are calling you.

You'll love skiing, surfing, snowboarding, and swimming while you're down under. 


You'll probably make some great friends along the way too!

You aren't the type who has to see it all on a vacation. In fact, if you find the perfect spot, you're likely to stop for a while.


For you, it is all about the journey and never about the destination. Your best trips never end! 


 



When I think of places in the world I'd love to visit, Australia and New Zealand are at the top of the list. I don't think I'd want to ski, surf, snowboard while there and I damn sure ain't going swimming...not with the huge great white sharks in the area.  (shudder) I'd also watch my step while in Australia - there are snakes there that make Texas rattlers look like garden snakes.

That said, there's not a lot of places I'd want to go in Australia - I'd want to see the Great Barrier Reef - by boat - the Sydney Opera House and the massive geological formation Uluru (aka Ayers Rock).  I wouldn't want to climb that last, not only because it's sacred to the aboriginal people, but also because I'm getting too old.  It also might sound crazy to some, but I've also wanted to go to Coober Pedy, a small opal mining town where most of the homes are underground. (I dunno why, just sounds neat.)I'd also love to see an Australian rules football match.

I'd really look forward to seeing New Zealand - I have a great online friend who lives there and the travel/nature shows I've seen of the country prove that it's a land of great beauty and lovely people.  Offhand, I couldn't tell you any great monument or awesome natural wonder there, but I think I'd enjoy just traveling around to smaller towns, enjoying the countryside and meeting the "real" people.

Oh, Rats!

I'm Not Happy

I used to love this song...

...the first thousand times I heard it.

My Yin & Yang

You Are Contemplative

You have yellow yin. You are a very clear and methodical thinker, especially when others are pessimistic.

You aren't necessarily an optimist, but more than anyone else, you can envision how things may go right.

You have green yang. You have a youthful, playful bent to the way you live your life. You are always open to growth and opportunity.


You seek out balance and harmony in your life. You try to avoid getting too much of any one thing... even a good thing. 

 



Yellow yin and green yang? I hope penicillin will clear that up.

Along Came a Spider

From Lockerdome.com

Nothing here?

Sorry, but a spider and its web ain't exactly "nothing".   I shuddered so much when I opened the 404 page the govt. seismograph registered an earthquake here in town. 

I know it's called the "world wide web" but I didn't think it would be one literally.
