6:30 am
Runnerbean
where's that then k?
6:32 am
kaosangel
Saint Louis, Missouri USA, you?
6:34 am
Runnerbean
Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands. Do you also play Babble, or any other online games?
6:34 am
kaosangel
Canary Islands - very nice I am told :) No, I play this while I drink my morning coffee.
6:35 am
Runnerbean
Whilst at work, or at home?
6:35 am
kaosangel
Sadly, Work.
6:36 am

I used to live close to STL, kaos... I went to college in a small school in illinois about 45 miles east. I do miss that city.
6:38 am
kaosangel
I do not understand the strategies of this game, the number just sort of come to me. Several of the guys on my team play this and they got me the membership for christmas so I could play old puzzles.
6:39 am
kaosangel
Where abouts SP? I have family in OFallon IL
6:39 am
smooth_pappa
I was in Greenville. Aside from the school, there isn't much there.
6:39 am
kaosangel
Are you vacationing RB or are you a resident of Fuerteventura?
6:40 am
kaosangel
LOL, that is very true SP. Southern IL is like southern and central MO, lots of farms
6:41 am
Runnerbean
Resident k, have been for just over 3 years, got fed up with UK, but still have family there
6:41 am
smooth_pappa
hehe... yup... Although, I'm now in Madison, WI... and the same thing here... once you get out of the city, it's all farm land
6:41 am
kaosangel
But there is not a lot to miss of StL right now...seems every night the news is reporting more and more layoffs of every industry.
6:41 am
kaosangel
I go to Madison all of the time
6:41 am
kaosangel

6:41 am
smooth_pappa

6:43 am
Runnerbean

6:43 am
smooth_pappa
now, when you come up here, are you flying or driving? The drive isn't *too* long, but man! not much to look at on the way
6:44 am
kaosangel
LOL, We tend to drive because we vist several locations on the way up and back
6:44 am
smooth_pappa
gottcha
6:45 am
kaosangel
RB, it is tourist laden all year around there?
6:46 am
Runnerbean
Used to be k, but with the way of the world, not so much lately, but it IS one of the quiter islands anyway
6:47 am
kaosangel
a nice quiet island ... to dream, sounds tranquil
6:47 am
smooth_pappa
yeah, that does sound nice!
6:48 am
kaosangel
beats the snow and ice doesn't it SP?!
6:48 am
Phil
done, no greens
6:49 am
Runnerbean
People come here and you either hate it on first sight and never come back, or you fall in love with it on your first visit, and keep coming back or stay here for ever like me!!
6:49 am
smooth_pappa
hehehe... you know.... I'm aware that I am in a HUGE minority, but I would miss the winter if I moved away... but an Island like RB's would be a nice break
6:50 am
Runnerbean
God, I don't miss winter at all, when I go back to uk for visits in winter, can't wait to get back
6:50 am
kaosangel
Normally I would agree with you SP, but after the snow we just got and the inability of people to drive in it, I am ready to move to a nice quiet island with no commute
6:50 am
smooth_pappa
hehe... lIke I said, I know that my outlook isn't shared by many ;)
6:51 am
smooth_pappa
HA! I do distinctly remember not enjoying driving while there was snow down there, and precisely for that reason: the other drivers
6:51 am
Runnerbean
takes about 45 mins to get from one end of island to the other, no road rage, no traffic jams, bliss.....
6:51 am
Phil
Know that feeling Rb, emigrated from the UK to Perth 10 years ago. Went back for the first time last year. Only missed the country pubs and great friends.
6:52 am
kaosangel
no road rage, no traffic .... that right there is a dream come true
6:53 am
Runnerbean

yul
hello everybody
9:21 am
drwho
You "sound" like Jack Brickhouse reincarnated.
9:22 am
gman
this Bud's for you
9:23 am
drwho
Gman knows who Jack Brickhouse was, but Yul, I doubt you ever heard of him.
9:24 am
gman
I grew up in Chigo before moving to Indpls back in 78
9:24 am
drwho
Jack was the TV announcer for the Chicago Cubs baseball team in the 1960s and 1970s.
9:24 am
yul
I don't even remember when was the last time I listened to sport commentator
9:24 am
drwho
Whenever one of the Cubs hit a homerun his comment was Hey Hey.
9:25 am
yul
hehe I like it
9:26 am
drwho
The guy who replaced Jack was Harry Carry. His comment on all the homeruns was Holy Cow.
9:27 am
yul
not good, hey hey is much better
9:27 am
gman
He was also known to consume quite a bit of the liquid refreshment, especially when broadcasting a game!!
9:28 am
yul
how long is an average game?
9:28 am
drwho
Can't be too careful about dehydration, with all those day games.
9:29 am
drwho
The Cubs didn't play night games at home because their lighting system didn't work at night.
9:30 am
drwho
An average game is probably 2 to 2.5 hours.
9:30 am
gman
They didn't have a lighting system.
9:30 am
drwho
Yes they did. How do you think they could see the ball in the day time?
9:31 am
yul
everybody has this system during the day
9:32 am
gman
Good puzzle to get without greens-- I gave up as usual and switched to greens. Got to go now. :) right about the natural lighting.

Have a good day gman.

if you push the shift key as you click the numbers they turn up green, you can use them as helps to eep track of the possibles in the squares
