  1. We, with several friends, enjoyed seeing this fantastic photo display. 

    Besides fantastic photographic images, the best part was revisiting the feelings we first experienced when seeing these places in person for the first time years ago. Through Larry’s photographic skills we got to revisit those scenic views again.

    Thanks!

  2. We attended the Chilli Challenge today and enjoyed several tasty entries. Much noise in the sampling room, but this is the announcement of winners I heard:

    Larry White with his entry of "Little Bit of Texas" won first prize. Larry also won the Best Display award.    

    The Garden's entry received Runner-up.

    Ruby McKensie and Sandi Stephens representing Amigos de Animales won best award for Vegetarian Chili.

    Didn't see any losers in any of the entries........looking forward to next year.

  3. 3 hours ago, Keith Woolford said:

    The theatre isn't big enough for some of the audiences that certain speakers attract.

    Blocking the exit aisles from the theatre is probably more dangerous, but less noticeable, than blocking the exit in the parking lot.

    Is the designated Exit at the Oasis end of the parking area functioning or are some people still trying to leave through the Enter Only gate?

     

    Yes, Keith, the designated exit at the Oasis end of the parking area was blocked by that large Toyato pick-up. Other car owners were sort of practicing "free parking" in the lot. We felt sorry for the attendent (Frank?). Poor man was doing his best to guide the traffic; not an easy task.

    We managed to leave the premises without damage. Guess it was a good day  after all.

  4. We tried to attend this presention by Penny Ripple re "Trips around Panama" in the BCP this morning. Every chair was occupied by the time we arrived. People were standing in the exit aisle. A suggestion was that we sit on the floor in front of the stage or the steps in the audience area, but we declined. (I would have needed help to stand up after the talks ended).

    We left home early for the program; the real problem was a white pick-up truck in the parking area blocking both the entrance and exit. Several cars had to back-up, vehicles needed to halt off the bridge; some managed to turn sharply to avoid a near miss. We finally got past this congestion and found a parking spot on a side street. All of this took the bigger part of an hour plus listening/talking to a bunch of angry people about this situation.

    Sorry Penny. Hope the program was successful. Maybe next time for us.

    Nothing succeeds like success. The person selecting the topics for the Tuesday talks is doing a fantastic job.
