My windows were open last night until one something and open today about 10

I slept 2 day with my window open, 2 days with...wait for it...A/C on cause this place has horrid cross ventilation. I slept 4 nights so well. Hello the Tease of Spring.

@Songbird76 and @MySmallWorldof4 seeing I just looked up something from my TR it takes about 45 minutes to walk through the que of Forbidden Journey to see almost everything so don't let a longish wait time scare you because if it's any shorter you'll miss way to much!

The best queue I've seen imagineered @Songbird76 and @MySmallWorldof4

I'm not sure what you consider expensive but I can get a bag of 6 Avocados at
Sam's Club for $5.98 or the smaller ones at Walmart 68 cent each. They are a bit more expensive at Aldi at $1.29 I went with Sam's club this week cause they looked the best.

ridiculous how your prices are pretty similar to Mexico.

Around 4 avocados (1 Kg) is around 60 to 80 pesos depending on what the local big retailers say)
You can get them waaay cheaper if you drive near the avocado farms or the street vendors (like half the price)

In case anyone is interested the Disney Parks Blog is doing their live stream of Illuminations in a couple minutes.https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/b...earth-live-from-epcot-march-28-at-855-p-m-et/

THNX I was going to post the same thing, I'm a bit worried about the new show but at least it will have Figment

could an elevated garden system helped?

Most of my gardening is done in containers due to my forest friends and it did help but we still lost most plants before the end of the season because it was so dark and wet

We will celebrate my Birthday in true fashion on Friday cause the manchild will be here but today it was take out from Portillo's with Ribs, meatballs, chopped salad etc. Delicious.

A few of my Disney related presents for my upcoming Disney trip.

Crossbody Purse is for the parks. It's about 4x6 inches folds in half, and will easily slide into back pocket. I could put my tiny wallet in other pocket and iPhone and skip bagcheck many days anyhow. I envy guys that go in with a wallet and iPhone and they are in. Those express lanes are mostly guys. Jealous.

And a travel stainless steel, insulated wine mug with a clear lid. Poolside compliant.
Bonus, 14 ounces. I could spend hours by one of the 5 pools.

Maybe have the girl bring her English textbooks so you know what she is suppose to be learning.
Watching Barney might not be the best idea (for anyone) but some English YouTube videos could be helpful. It's how my 10 year old nephew learned English since his parents forbid him from watching anything in Dutch or Slovakian (mother language) he only watched English kids videos now his English is so good he isn't allowed to watch those anymore. He's moved on to Manderin and German.

Wow, great idea!

I noticed the horizontal traffic lights. We don't have too many of those in my area. If there is a long beam like you showed in the photo, often the traffic lights will be in the vertical position, hanging from the pole.

Not that my observation here this morning is particularly fascinating or anything ...

 

[MySmallWorldof4]

could an elevated garden system helped?

Ours is elevated actually. It is a planting bed that is about 8 feet by 12 feet. The people we bought the house from built it. My guess is they built it probable because our soil is crummy and it doesn’t take much to dig down amd hit limestone. We were told that when developers build homes, they remove all the topsoil and then sell it.

 

[MinnieM123]

exactly, there is no real reason to change every 6 months.. and hardly every year.
Unless of course its all about looks and showoff a new model constantly.

Glad to hear this from a technical person like yourself. I think too many people assume they have to upgrade all the time. What bothers me is all the waste (and I'm not just talking about phones, specifically). When I was growing up, my parents and grandparents would hardly ever throw out something that could be repaired or repurposed. Getting anything "new" was a big deal to our family.

I have a love/hate relationship with Illuminations. I loved the Illuminations I saw as a kid when the music focused on cultural music from the countries and each country lit up when it's music was played. But I also like the music with Reflections of Earth, but I hate that globe. That globe with the images that can barely be seen is a sore thumb to me. I like all the pyro at the start and I do like the end with the "We Go On" song.

I am really looking forward to Epcot Forever, that will be some fantastic music!

What music will be in Epcot Forever? I love We Go On as well.

Kielbasa loaf is a Polish lunch meat. Think smoked polish sausage just with ginormously more girth. Then they slice it like lunch meat. So try a Polish Deli.

We have plenty of Polish deli's here (the town is pretty much 1/2 polish, 1/2 dutch, and a big mix of mutts) but I truly haven't seen this kielbasa loaf!

If that fails try Meijer Food and Box stores if you have those down here. They carry it up here.

Plenty of Meijers.. they are headquartered here.... I'll have to check next time I'm there...
