We need a snake charmer smily. 

Oh Alan, You can always come brower mine any time. (Trying a new aproach here.............     )

The Desert Botanical Gardens Chihuly exhibit dates are from 11/22/08
through 5/31/09. We have been asked to line up people who would be
interested in helping to clean and maintain the beautiful Chihuly
glass pieces in this exhibition. Right now we anticipate it will be
volunteer only (i.e. no pay). We are looking into gas money, some
small stipend, or other barter. If you live in other areas / states,
if you would like to come to Phoenix during this time, we can put you
up in our studio at the Carefree Resort. It is a nice room (hotel
room). Private, quiet, nice and beautiful setting, and more. No
charge to you. Let me know if any of you would like to come during
our warm winter months and help.

We welcome anyone who wants to help for a day or two, or a week, or
even ongoing. It is a pretty large task, so the more help we can
get, the better it will be. You will be trained "the Chihuly method"
for cleaning and maintenance (and bird nest removal). It is a fun
job, and you will have help. You won't be alone, and worrying about
the glass. It will be fun to meet everyone, and work together.

We will be cleaning the glass (outdoor exhibits) three times a week.
The days that the glass will need cleaning is Wednesday, Thursday &
Saturday. Each cleaning day has specific pieces that will need
cleaning and inspection, along with a time frame that it needs to be
done in. Some pieces are large, and you will have assistance in
working with those. Wednesdays the cleaning will be starting at
7am. There are two groups being cleaned on Tuesdays, which will run
from 7am - 9am. Thrusday the cleaning is also two areas, running
from 7am - noon. Saturday is a bit larger area, and will be 7am -
noon.

If you want to help (one day or lots of days) please email me
direct. Let me know how to contact you, and when you would be
available. We welcome you, even if you can only do one day. There
are a couple of online videos we will need for you to watch about
working with this precious glass.

Hope to see you at the gardens! By the way the Luminaria De Los
Noches tour will include the Chihuly exhibits this year. Spectacular
event!

The new cars have ABS( I think it's called), anti skid breaks. They work awesome on ice. Hammer down on the break and let the computer keep you straight on the road. I never would have believed it possible until we bought one. I'll never have an other car with out it.

I didn't know it  So you DO push the brake and stay on the brake till it stops?  I have a 2001 bug and a 98 expedition.  Do either have this or are they too old?

Could not fint a snake charmer - will this feller do?

I love him! He's mine all mine!!!!!!

Quite a haul to NY from AZ, besides that you got that white stuff there - we start complaining when the temperature drops below 65F and really complain when it drops into the 40's (like now), but it is only rain , not that white stuff
