RN, she is, thanks, Yankee. Except now Caleb's got it again. Darren's at the end of it. I'm about ready to line everyone up and spray them with lysol or something. RN after we picked Caleb up today we took the kids out and drove down the Civic Musical Road. Story behind it: Honda filmed a commercial out here a while back and they cut groves into the road to play music when a car drives over it between 50 and 55 mphs. There's not a lot of houses out that way, but some of the residents have been complaining to the mayor about it. Decision was made ot pave over it (there's only 3-4 of these roads in the world so I find it sad they wanna pave over it.) It was supposed to be done today (not sure if it was or not.) I've had several people, including sis bugging me to take the kids out, we'd love it, but I hadn't been in any hurry. Today we picked Caleb up and went out there with the kidlets, not knowing quite what to expect. OMG, we laughed so hard, it's the funniest thing. Only lasts about 30 seconds so lots of people were driving down it and then turning around and doing it again. Yeah so did we, lol. There's now a sign out there telling people if they like it to call the mayor and let his office know...we got home and it was a race to the phone. Darren started calling his buddies with younger kids and telling them ot check it out before it's gone and I called around to pass out the phone number. We have friends who live about a mile from there and the husband complains he can hear the occassional note or two when he's sitting on the porch. I live down the street from the baseball stadium and less than a mile from the fair grounds (where the city hosts concerts often) and we are always hearing music so I don't really get it, the few notes wouldn't bug me a bit.

War, that's awesome! Those whiney neighbors should stop and think about how unique that is and just deal. It's not like it plays forever or something. I love it!

War, (or any mod really) can you change "grove" to "groove?" I was so confused!! And then you can lose this post!! That does seem like a cool and fun ride!

RN War, I read the musical road plays the William Tell Overture. Is that true? Also, RN just mailed in a rebate for $10. That should buy at least 2½ gallons of gas!

RN, Couchtomato it's not perfect but yep that's what it is. I've heard/read some say it's out of tune, I don't have any musical talents whatsoever so I have no clue if it is or not. It made us laugh and even improved Caleb's whole moody/puberty/pre teen angst for a while.

RN I am wishing I had not gone to visit my dog's vet's website. They often have a few animals looking for a home because the owner may have died or are too ill to keep them anymore. I asked DH if I could go get this 14 year old dog C.J., and he nearly freaked out yelling, telling me no way in hell, our 2 dogs now are enough. I hate to think of this angel living the rest it's life alone every night in a little kennel. http://www.hvahpets.com/adoptions.html

RN Rissa, hope your dad is doing well, and that you have a wonderful trip. I've heard that Banff is one of the most gorgeous places on earth! RN My I feel EXACTLY like I did 3 1/2 weeks ago when I first got sick. I can't seem to shake this bug for love or money, as they say. I feel woozy and my throat is very sore. Bummer. But I'm determined to be cheery, if it kills me. (gritting teeth in forced smile)

RN I had to check out a Sonic in FL last winter. Why? Because landi and someone else (Serate? Escapee?) used to post about cherry limeades, and I just had to try one! LOL! Like Dfen, I live in the Northeast and had never seen a Sonic before.

Right now, we don't have a Sonic close by and I'm surprised. If landi got one, maybe we aren't too far behind.

RN, well the city paved over the musical road yesterday. The city says they're looking into doing it someplace else in the city where it won't bug residents.

Right now, the paving over of the musical road made our small town newspaper today. It was in the place where they put a short article of national or international interest, usually something odd or unusual.

RN: Musical road seems to me a gross waste of resources and capital and manpower. Unnecessary.
