I always think of those Welsh place names that seem to be all consonants, but none specifically jumps to my mind. I did however have a friend in college whose last name was Przybyl. It was pronounced Priz-bil & was all consonants unless you want to count those y's (as in "sometimes y") as vowels.

All I know is that if the Government didn't take my money, from me and spend it on things they invent, I would spend it on me, and maybe put my neighbor to work. If the problem is all the stuff we buy comes from overseas, then look at the why the Government allows unbalanced trade, and also why any American company would have an advantage to move production overseas. It just seems that no matter what the problem, the government can't fix it, because at some level, they created it. OK, the FBI is knocking at my door, gotta go! lol George

The cold air coming down from Canada will not be ultra-cold. Not this year. We should see maybe a week-ish of relatively cooler weather and two, maybe three noticeably cold nights, and not all in a row, but a killing deep freeze? Depends where you are and how you pushed it, but one night of well below freezing shouldn't be wrecking your plans. The 'cold' will start this evening, but 'cold' is relative. I went out last evening and put the ornamental grass clippings over about 6-8 of the less tender plants and held it down with heavier branches from pruning. That's all this old weatherman is doing SE of Denver. I expect that next week I'll be planting cool season seeds in the garden - I have a new variety of lettuce mix - Red Wings - in anticipation of their long playoff run and I'm ready to go. The wall-o-waters are coming out sometime in early April, when I find time in between traveling. :o) Dan

cracker stackin' How high can you stack soda crackers? Also, have each kid grab five crackers and stuff them in their mouths at the same time, when you blow a whistle. The first one to "whistle" is the winner. great fun. Write a short story or journey of a camper. leave the nouns all blank. For each blank, have the kids come up unbeknownst to them a noun. If your story has twenty nouns, write down 20 nouns from the kids. Now, put them in a hat and pass the hat around the circle to each kid. You now begin reading" Jen's camping Adventure weekend" that you of course wrote. Each time you come to a blank space, ( a noun) you have a kid pick a folded piece of paper out of the hat and insert the noun. It goes round and round and gets pretty funny. (ie) Jen woke up early in the morning excited to begin her camping trip. She began checking out the car to make sure it was all prepared for the trip. To the engine, she added__________ A kid pulls out the word "A hermit crab" then passes the hat to the next person. You read on: "She then hooked up ___________ and _________ and even________ to the trailer hitch and was very happy at the hard work accomplished so far. fill in your own blanks and on and on... screamin' ball toss. For a large group, bring a beach ball. Every time the ball in in the air, everyone yells as loud as possible. When the ball is caught by someone in the group, immediate sudden silence. Everyone stops. A real giggler. You can fake tossing it up at times. As the ball goes round and round up in the air, from person to person, everyone is hollering. Sometimes, long yells and sometimes short yells or sharp burst as it goes from one person to another quickly. Fun in the water, too. hoola- hoop frisbee golf.... Bring nine hoolahoops and set up a course like a golf course out over a grassy area. From a start area, each golfer tosses a frisbee into the hoola-hoop to score. keep score how many tosses it takes to get around the course. campfire race! Have small sets of small kindling set up 50 ft. away from each small fire pit. EAch team of two people, Usually an adult and a child (due to the matches) stands by their fire pit and when you give the signal, they scurry to their pile of little kindling chips, twigs, etc. and hurry back quickly and build a little fire. You have two stakes hammered in the ground with a piece of "TWINE" tied between them. The teams put their kindling under the twine and the object is to build a fire and be the first team to burn through and "BREAK" the twine. Think about this one awhile. Fire and certain groups are right out.... eh? I always liked it, though.
