My thoughts have been with the animals, too. There are a lot of dangers out there for the little guys. :cry:

Yes, this is good. Every radar has it twirling away. You guys in the island must be blowing hard at it! It worked! :wink:

I always do my own in the condo. It's no prob at all. It's just tees and bathing suits. In fact, it's fun. At home I have to take the lift down to another floor and meet all the neighbors who say, "laundry day? Ha-ha." Doing laundry in private is a joy :roll:

Sounds familiar, PA Girl! If we go out and have fish, say. Mr. SC will eat all of his, while I'll eat half of mine and bring the other half home. The next day I'll split that half of MY dinner for a snack for the 2 of us. (Except the nights we meet the friendly real Sapphire Cats and they get my hal...

That doesn't sound like a lot spent, Gromit. I don't budget, either. (Maybe I just don't want to know the total!) We pretty much have one restaurant meal per day: Breakfast is in the condo. And either lunch or dinner is small bites in the condo -- salad, cheese, burrito, Senor Pizza (we're on STT) -...

I see what you mean, spindrift. And that's supposed to be a harbor area, isn't it? SapphireCat sapphirecat, Yes, earlier I saw the "diver" too! What a good imagination you have. I've been looking at the Villa Serendipity web cam for the last few minutes or so...each time the camera refresh...

If you want to see the "diver", though, go up to flipflop's 10:58 a.m. post. (I've forgotten how to post pictures!)

Ah, in the later dock picture the flotsam has decomposed itself from the diver shape it was in. Whew!

I keep doing a double take on the dock and dingy shot. That pale yellow form over by the dock keeps looking for all the world like a diver (see the tank?)using a snorkel (see it sticking up?). Of course, I'm sure it's not somebody. Probably a 14-foot-long illusion. Hope you're all well. Is the power...

I can tell you that if you post anything that is not smiley-happy on the STT-related forum on TripAdvisor it is quickly deleted. People have simply given up on it.

pmfji, when I was involved in a forum meeting (not this one) at a busy spot, I suggested forum folks just tie on a bit of red ribbon somewhere. It was on hats and through button holes... and it worked very well. Just make sure it's visible.

Terry, I don't understand the last bit of your post -- you went to emergency and gang members were giving you signs? They were in the hospital?

Wow, I better leave my bandanna at home.

I think that this was filmed in STX, however, wasn't it?
