Re: Beijing Olympics 2008
Ohhh... yes... Nadal vs Fernando González (Spain vs Chile). It's going to be tough (matches with two people who talk the same language and can understand the insults the other is saying are always interesting :lol: ) I guess lots of people here are going to go for all nighters. The match is at 4 AM...

The concert looks great.
We have it here too, so I guess we inherited from Spain.

Re: Going on vacation - will be incognito for over a week
JT, yes, intrigued! But some Native people say the debate over the dates on how long they have lived here is irrelevant because they have ALWAYS lived here, LOL. They might be right. A couple of years ago archaeologist found a site inhabited a thousand year prior the 12.000 years ago mark. This sit...

Re: The 2008 Book Thread
Just finished reading "Silent in the Sanctuary" by Deanna Raybourne. It's her second book, the first one was pretty entertaining too. Really liked it, it's a mystery set in Victorian England. Reminded me of Agatha Christie, actually, lots of peculiar characters, a dead body, haunted Abbey,...

Hope your daughter recovers quickly. :) My happy news: I am home at last, in my own house, with my own feline companion, sitting at my own laptop. :happyjump: Seven weeks, as opposed to the two I thought I would be gone...sh*t happens, especially to me. Lately. Still tethered to a Wound-Vac, but on...

Re: Something Typical
The pernicious influence of Hollywood, huh? It really does influence!! We didn't celebrate Halloween here until 20 years ago more or less. I remember because it's my birthday and it never crossed my mind to have a costume party when I was growing up nor trick or treating, but now it's all candies a...

Gran valor !
Didn't ABBA won that contest back in the seventies?? Not that I remember the occasion but I think I heard that during an A&E program about them.

Watching Enterprise on Sci-Fi, kind of. (This means I only actually get up from the computer and go look at the TnT scenes.) Man they stuff those commercials in. Did you ever notice that in Rajin the people she scans are all people recovering from exposure to the alien chicken-people virus from the...

Re: The 2008 Book Thread
Reading "Silent in the grave" by Deanna Raybourn. It's a mystery set in London in 1886, very entertaining. I bought it a couple of weeks ago through Amazon, it's the first book by this author that I read. The funny thing is that when I got it and looked at its front, the name "Deanna&...

Re: Something Typical
I always wonder about giant cities built on volcanoes, like Mexico City, but I guess it's kind of like living on an earthquake fault in California or in tornado alley or in the path of hurricanes or cyclones or tidal waves or overflowing rivers or giant sink holes or forest fires or whatever. I gue...

It's not like we're having volcanoes erupting every day, any way. But if you come here you'll probably see one even without knowing it.
Actually, we're not aware that many of the mountains surrounding us are/were volcanoes.

Over 2900?
We have 15% of all the Volcanoes on Earth, but only 80 of the 2900 register activities.
