Lundy Says-Amusing Info from Lundy Wilder

Make yourself some fireworks if you are at home looking at this and not out on the beach watching the real thing. or let PBS tell you a bit about them. OR, see fireworks like you've never seen them before ....The Netherlands, 2000.....fireworks factory fire and explosions. See another cameraman's movie of it. or watch this along with the Swedes who traditionally show this video at midnight. But listen to the weird words.

teejay's backsplash: glasklasen (glass cluster)

If you have not seen it on TV, watch the mini-movie online. Lots of careful editing, I am sure. (Requires Flash ver. 9, so overly agressive Adobe will attempt to auto-update.) http://www.whopperfreakout.com

While I was gone, the big lintel for the garage door opening was trucked in and set in place. It is the largest individual piece of concrete in the house (except slabs). We have had a couple days of nice weather but rain is suppose to come back. It rained a lot right before i took these photos..you can see water standing here and there. The winter brings lovely sunsets. This last photo is in the entrance hall area where a recessed niche is suppose to go. Ted is making some special curved top-piece and shelf for it. Dan told me today that both floors will have a 9'2" ceiling height. He is talking to the truss designer about raising the upper ceiling into the attic space but he will have to re-design the trusses and don't know yet how much more that might cost. Another issue is cramping the area to run the A/C and waterlines, etc...by doing that. But I told Dan if we could gain a foot, it would be probably be worth it. We decided to add a foot to the windows on the first fl...

I am back in Gulf Shores. Flew to Mempho on the 19th and back on Xmas eve. Nice visit. Stayed w/ Momma. Amazingly, there was one day when all of us chullin were there together at one time. Stephen drove up from Mississippi, Lisa had just gotten back from taking her 3 grandchullin skiing in Colorado and Cary (w/ her two offspring) flew in for the day. Momma says it is the first time we were all together in a long time. I see all of them pretty much, so I didn't realize that. Now that i am back, I am doing web stuff ninty miles an hour. I have so many projects in motion. Tonight I am designing floor tiles to coordinate w/ Duralee fabrics. My good buddy, Marti, who works for Duralee and is a big hit w/ them for 'E' for effort & strong sales, is going to the annual sales meeting in New York in a couple days and I only found out yesterday. i want to have these drawings done for her to take w/ her. I have spent massive amounts of time researching classic Hydraulic Cement Flo...

Ruth S. sent this short, entertaining video. You may have seen this guy on the Tonight Show, I didn't. Wonder how long he had to practice to do this.

This is very funny, From my good friend Carol McC :

This guy, a grandfather, comes out of retirement every year at Xmas to direct traffic in Providence, RI. He even has his own website. http:// www.providencedancingcop.com where it tells what intersections he will be at on what day.

A guy who sends me occasional emails sent a photo of a sand tree he made in the middle of a store. The background had clothing displayed, etc...so I cut it out and put it out on a beach. Not our beaches, as they are white and his sand was pretty dark, but I found a pretty good match. He sells cool sand sculpture kits at www.CanYouDigIt.com

Well I wish I had been in Las Vegas for WebmasterWorld Pubcon this past week. Thanks goodness for the kind souls who work their fingers to the bone reporting what the speakers and panels are saying. I have only read a short part of the online accounts, but already have picked up one great tip that I put into place immediately on www.ScrapbookScrapbook.com that has made a big difference in earnings on that site. Speaking of ScrapbookScrapbook.com, last weekend I got an email alerting me to copyright infringement on eBay uk and I had to report it and the seller's account got canceled, now today, i have another email about another seller of CD's w/ my graphics included...seems to never end. UK is worse that U.S. for some reason. Fortunately ebay is really great about yanking the offending merchandise and dealing w/ the seller. Just takes time on my part. I have to be sure that it really is my work on their CD. New house work at a standstill due to crane repairs. No huge deal, a...

Thanks Mark B. for passing this news story on to me. Mark is making a trip to Memphis for biz in a few weeks, so he must be reading Memphis news just to be ready to face what may come at him while there. Rarely do I copy /paste a whole news story but this one is so great, and I am afraid the link might now work or somehow you'd miss this, (note the use of "fightin" and "takin" in the quotes).... so here goes : I call it : "I guess that just pissed them off worser" Memphis Police continue to search for search three cross-dressing crooks who started a fight at the McDonalds on South Mendenhall Sunday night. It was definitely not business as usual at a local McDonald's Sunday night as a carful angry transvestites pulled up to Martez Brisco's drive-thru window. "Men trying to look like women, drag queens, transvestites is what they were," Brisco said. There was an argument at the window and that's when things started to get a little s...

Get a Tan?: Velma from Milwaukee writes; "I was in Mexico a couple of years ago and a lady saw me tanning outside the hotel and I just couldn't tan, she then said, " want a great tan"? Of course, " I said". She said buy some Coke, not diet coke, cherry coke or generic, just plain Coke and apply it over skin. Believe me, I did, and laid out for a while, I got up, and I had the best tan ever. It lasted for about 6-7 months. So, now I do it here in Milwaukee when it gets hot, I even use the coke in the tanning machines and it really works. And, no, bugs will not eat you. The coke dries in your skin and then your skin is silky. This is the best tanning lotion I have ever used." Thanks Velma! I can't wait to try this out myself! Read more scientific uses for Co-cola. And better print this stuff out as these tripod sites have a tendency to come and go.
