    On August 24, 79 C.E. Mount Vesuvius erupted in a huge explosion. Can’t do much about that now so let’s recall ancient Pompeii with a Baccanalian Toga Party. Some vino and perhaps a reading of Classics, such as “Cattulus,” or Ovid’s “Catamorphoses.”

    The kit getting docked points is so me! Rebel!

    While stationed in Naples, I climbed Mt. Vesuvius and walked around the crater. It was so neat! The preservation of Pompeii is incredible, sad though.




    I’m glad there wasn’t any more damage from the tornado. I’m having to watch last season of the “The Last Ship” so I know what’s happening in the new season. Is anyone watching Unabomber: Manifesto?

    Cya and have a happy~

    What the heck is up with cats and plastic bags anyway?! (I mean togas!!)

    Yes, I am also glad that no one was hurt by the tornadoes up north..they are scary and tremendously powerful. It seems like everytime we have a thunderstorm now, we get a weather warning through our phones to take cover…seriously, I’m not hiding for a thunderstorm—even though the national weather service ‘missed’ the tornado that hit Tulsa, OK a couple of weeks ago.. ๐Ÿ™„

    It is wonderfully cool here yesterday and today, and calling for it the rest of the week. After it being like a swamp, it is refreshing! It was down to 50* here this morning…aaahhhhh….nothing a sweater can’t handle!

    Yay! it’s baaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!
    Did anyone else have the site go down today? and it did it yesterday for me too! Don’t know if it was just me, but it wouldn’t load on my phone either, and it’s brand new …. hmmmmmmmmm

    Well, Son is on his way to Africa, prayers/white lights would be greatly appreciated for his safe travels and return ๐Ÿ™‚

    I too am glad the tornados didn’t do major damage ….. it’s supposed to rain here, we’re on the eastern side of Harvey, which unfortunately looks to be getting stronger and headed for Texas! 2 days ago they were saying it wouldn’t be a bad storm, but now it’s supposed to be a Cat 3 …. yikes! Hope everyone stays safe that is near that area

    Time for me to wrap things up for the day, have a great evening all, L8R all!

    AV, site has been OK for me, lurked a few times today. But if it was down glad it’s back up! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Thankfully no volcanoes here, but went to one of my n’hood libraries and saw the damage that Tues tornado left! So many trees down! On one street looked like one of those Xmas tree sales exploded! Huge pines blocking just about the entire road! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

    Never been to a toga partay, but if called upon I have a neat faux satin purple flash sheet that I could fashion into the appropriate get-up! Royal purple would work for me! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    My reg fix-it guy isn’t responding to emails/phone msgs. Now he could be on vaca and I hope he’s OK. Would be nice if peeps had auto email reply if they are unavailable. Whatever. Thing is I’d like to arrange for my kitchen drawers to be re-installed, not a big deal, but still. Sent info and pics to a handyman who sounded OK on phone. Will see what his take on the situation is, then I’ll have to see what landlord wants me to do. did give me the opp to do some re-organizing which for me is always a treat!

    I look at a volcano out my French doors every day.

    And it is a great walk around or up with stunning views. 3km/1.8miles around the base track. There is also an active volcano off the coast.
    The yellow in the water is sulphur from the volcanic activity.
    PG, I love the ‘women are like volcanoes’ pic.
    AV, heaps of TDK White Light for a safe trip and return for your son.
    Must dash out and purchase some flea drops for HRH, warmer weather arriving along with the little bities.

    Late night check in for me …
    Good that you didn’t go dark today KJ, I don’t know what happened here …. maybe my inet service was blinking … I think KM2 is in mid euro, so could be a connection prob. Dont know!

    MS, what a glorious view you have! I too live in an amazing scenic place, that I probably take too much for granted, but that can be dangerous when ma nature has an itch ….. look at me being all philosophical … lol!

    JJ, just got the Comet/lava thing, lol

    Have a great evening all!
