I changed one of the things I'm bringing
and does anyone want to grab some hot dogs and buns as well since Liz can't make it?

[Cinder & Smoke]

... printed the directions off today,
... will pick up fruit on Saturday,
and move on out on Sunday.

Hmmm ... that doesn't leave much tyme for "Camping"?
Did we change out minds about *tenting* with the lil Side-Kick?

Or maybe you're going to have THAT adventure on Sunday night?

---------------------------------------------------------------

Regarding Angie's "MapQuest Mystery" on why they tried to send her on
the "southern route" rather than the Turnpike >>>

When you enter the Start and End locations, MQ pops up
with the DEFAULT Route - which is the "Shortest TIME" route;
to see the "Shortest DISTANCE" route you have to scroll over
to the far RIGHT side of the page to find the "Routing Options" column -
it about the same vertical height as the turn-by-turn directions are ...
First, there's check boxes to AVOID on the route:
* Highways
* Toll Roads
* Seasonally closed roads

THEN there are the Options you need to check --
Show route by:
* Shortest TIME
* Shortest DISTANCE

The default of Shortest TIME results in the "southern route" ....
If you click the "Shortest DISTANCE" and the 'Update Route' clicker ...
MQ will revise the route and put you on the shorter Distance route.

I *KNEW* there had to be a reason for the "southern" routing ...
it's "faster" by 10 minutes because it's all Interstate quality highways;
the Turnpike route is shorter (by 30 miles) but runs through a lot of small towns
and has lots of directional changes & turns ... takes 10 minutes longer to drive.

Since Mayor Karen can not make it this weekend she asked if anyone was able to make her world famous human/dog cookies and I offered to.
However... I did not have the time to make them last night and I'm leaving to go camping today after work and won't be have the time to make them before Sunday's meeting.

Would anyone be able to make them for the Mayor? If you would like to please PM either her or I for the recipe.

Again, I'm sorry Karen!

[pitc9]

Humm... leaving so soon? Must mean that klamjuz lives far away... does anyone know who this is yet? I sure don't! Guess I'll find out on Sunday!
CAN'T WAIT!!!!

No worries, I am sure Phred's cookies for the human beings, and the many dog treats will be enough for everyone. No apology necessary! Just explain to your Princess why they won't be there!

[k9krazee]

Done.

Well...not yet. But it'll give me something to do today!
