Damn, it's going to be 90+ today here, I could go for a couple of those, they look so thirst quenching.

 :D   90+ here as well and I just came in from a day of pruning. I'm so glad I have a glass left.

I do love this thread. I've been slowly building another list, but other projects keep grabbing my attention. If you're interested Antares, here's one that I wanted to ask you.

With a limited amount of time available daily, could you teach me how to create a program that would help me build strength and endurance?

I have to know how much time a day you have for this, before I can create something.

I could commit to an hour, at least to start with. More than that would take some organizing of priorities. Weekends are tricky. Sunday's a bust, but Saturdays, I could find time somewhere and come spring, I do yard work for a couple of hours.


Thanks!

I've missed this thread!

There are some dinner ideas and instructions that I've been compiling from different filmspotters and want to try them out. I'll post my experiments as I go:


Antares - Camarão à Moçambique (Shrimp Mozambique) and Spicy Portuguese Rice     There are ingredients to this that I haven't found at the stores I normally frequent, but will get them on line so I can finally make it.

colonel_mexico - Carne Guisada

don s. - Pork Chops over Polenta

ses - Pickled Onions

smirnoff - Raspekaker

verbALs - Pan-fried salmon fillets, cooked with sweet chilli sauce; laid on a bed of steamed pak choi.

WillMunny - Pasta with Olives and Mozerella

To seriously answer your initial question, Sandy, the real key to noticing the world around you is to, um, notice things. Look, don't glance, at the people walking by, or the way a tree's shadow climbs up a building at a stop light, or how the people in the car behind you respond if you have a silly bumper sticker (mine says volkSWAGen, thanks to my little brother, and I get a lot of points and laughs). I've heard people say that you should not listen to music or podcasts while out an about to really connect to what's going on, but I think they're often useful to disconnect from all the noise and really see what's happening. You can focus on the loud and the quiet things alike when you're not being shouted at by passing traffic or whatever.

Very good advice indeed, Junior. I tend to be in my own head too much and need to focus outward, and slow down. I'll practice!
