Slow Saturday INP. Off to work on Des' turn. G'night you lot.

Good Sunday morning! Left the windows open overnight, low of 63. Slept very well!

Cats loved it.

Was watching the Seattle Sounders/Portland Timbers match last night when the Timbers brought a new player in to the match. While the announcers called him a "European player" the info on the screen showed that he is from Noumea, New Caledonia. I chuckled at the thought that almost nobody else watching the match has a clue as to where that is...

Hi all,

Good day!

Isn't New Caledonia technically a voting prefecture of Paris?

And a sunny and frigid Sunday morning tithe. Got the turn to Des done, so I'm off to clean off the driveway before tomorrow's 3-5" expected inches. [8D]

Off to see the in-laws (yawn) and my wife's sister who lives at home with their four kids (yawn)

I don't know what prefecture it is considered to be in, but French possessions are considered to be part of France (as compared to US territories) so I can understand the announcers comments (besides I am sure the player in question used to play in one or more of the continental leagues).

Morning tithe... Still heavy rain, which we need. Plus Andre's still sinking things, which we don't need.

Poultryboy... you just wait till I get those A-bombs, then I'm going to barbecue your feathery butt. [:D]

No New Caledonia has a Territorial Congress, which is composed of members of the three provincial areas, and is mainly dominated by the ethnic Kanak movement. New Caledonia is then represented in the French Parliament by two deputies and two senators, who are also mostly Kanak I think. The only direct oversite from the French State is a High Commissioner, who is sort of a Governor.

So Des, since you're back in bed with Andre, are we ever going to resume our thing on the side?

I didn't get any email from you since the one you sent about putting the game on pause, but it's definitely your turn.

Just watched a BNSF freight train head east outta Seattle with 5 GE CW44-9 locomotives as the front end power. at 4,400 hp a unit that's 22,000 hp. Stevens Pass must be a real pain[:D]
