Battlestar | Monday, August 28, 2000 - 08:59 am  Seattle TV station at 7PM today Monday August 28th----The Evening Show |
Chris | Monday, August 28, 2000 - 09:06 am  Battlestar: So, are you one of the residents of the "City of Eternal Rain"? |
Battlestar | Monday, August 28, 2000 - 09:40 am  No I don't live in Washington State, I'm one of the neighbours to the north, but we get US stations |
Chris | Monday, August 28, 2000 - 10:23 am  Battlestar: Are you getting alot of smoke from the Idaho/Montana fires? My relatives in Eastern Montana say there are times the visibility gets down to less than a mile. We have had some pretty gray days here in Colorado because of it. I wonder what happens in Seattle when all that smoke mixes with the rain, does it rain MUD ? |
Voyeur | Monday, August 28, 2000 - 12:15 pm  I am in Washington State, in Seattle even. The last time we got any ash here was when Mt. St. Helens blew her top. Prevailing winds are to the east, and there are mountains between us and the fires so we'll never see any smoke from them. |
Chris | Monday, August 28, 2000 - 02:15 pm  Ah. I lived in the L.A. area during Mt. St. Helens, and we got about 1/8" from that. In Montana they had to keep replacing their air filters on their vehicles, or it would ruin the engines. |
Kstme | Monday, August 28, 2000 - 03:08 pm  Because I am an ex-Seattlite, born and bred, lived there most of my long, long life...lol, I can truly say, "People in Seattle don't tan...they RUST" BTW...Battlestar did you catch the winner of Eco? Couldn't believe Howard didn't make it to the end... |
Voyeur | Monday, August 28, 2000 - 03:17 pm  chris: yeah, my aunt's family lives in Spokane (eastern Washington). They were *shoveling* Helens ash off their cars. |
Battlestar | Monday, August 28, 2000 - 06:47 pm  Kstme---Yes it was very sad about Team Fairydown from NZ---lots of the top teams were done in by the 'jungles' of Borneo--there is one picture of someones foot that is truly yucky !!!. Some of the leech stories gave me the heebie jeebies. YEAH-a Canadian team finished in the top 10 !!! and unranked Playboy Extreme Team is still on the course. http://www.ecochallenge2000.com/info/overview/index.html |
Kstme | Monday, August 28, 2000 - 07:04 pm  Battlestar...I know what you mean...GROSSED me out! Worse than ANY Survivor Show!! So glad to see Team EastWind in the top 20! Always remember them carrying their team member to the top of the mountain in Morroco! They always show so much heart! |
Battlestar | Monday, August 28, 2000 - 07:19 pm  Team Uruguay--this year is really neat too---they lost their ranking after they helped to carry an injured person from another team out of the jungle. They lost 24 hours and couldn't get to the check point before the cut off. But off they go---they're gonna finish the race anyways. I'm glad about Team EastWind too And you know what is really amazing---these teams are competeing for a 1st prize purse of $50,000 It costs each team about $30,000 to outfit themselves and $12,000 for their entry fee. This is reality TV at it's best---I can't wait for the televised show |
Kstme | Monday, August 28, 2000 - 07:57 pm  I DEFINITELY AGREE!!! It's a family event here! Probably more than the Olympics...LOL What did the show have to say about Ms. Jamie? |
Battlestar | Monday, August 28, 2000 - 08:37 pm  There was a Baseball game---why didn't they say so this morning !!!! I guess it was on before ---or will be on later. |
Kstme | Monday, August 28, 2000 - 08:48 pm  Thanks...LOL...guess Ms. Jamie couldn't compete with the Mariner's!  |
Rachelb | Tuesday, August 29, 2000 - 03:17 pm  I watched the thing on Jamie last night - it was on KING 5 (game was on KIRO 7.) It was an obvious repeat of a segment they filmed before Jamie even went to the Miss USA pageant. The only thing about BB was the intro to the segment...it was filmed that long ago. They're obviously off for the summer. It just showed her trying on dresses, winning the Miss Washington USA crown, her & her mom in her bedroom with all of her trophies & sashes, a picture of her as a cheerleader, etc. I'm laughing as I'm writing this because I know she said stuff but for the life of me, I can't remember anything. It was the same old Jamie...nothing new and exciting. I was more excited about the story they showed next where they went into the homes of Sunny Kobe Cook & Jack Roberts to see what products they had in their home. The guy bowed before Sunny's bed...it was funny! And Jack Roberts has 10 TVs in his house! LOL |
Yankee | Friday, September 01, 2000 - 04:45 am  VOYEUR In 1980 the Mt. St. Helen's ash cloud drifted high over us here in Missouri and blocked out the sun for a couple of days. A small amount rained down and was gathered up and marketed. It was popular and was bought-up quickly. I still have my sample of grey sandy ash. Fascinating. |
Motoole | Monday, September 18, 2000 - 10:24 pm  Did any of you folks catch what got Jamie so angry on Saturday morning? Something about Eddie and Hitler and we're completely in the dark. Could someone shed some light? We'd appreciate the info. |
