Travis part 3

Well I have a couple of series that go on throughout my blog- optical illusions, peanut butter and funny pictures of Travis. We all love Travis- he is a wonderful boss, but he is also a silly guy. This picture is actuallya video clip if I can get it to work. Niki showed it on the weekend for her talk. We were playing Sharks and Minnows where the person in the middle or "shark" has to keep his or her eyes shut and everyone else has to try to swim across the pool or in this case spool, without getting caught.

What is funny about this is that there is no one in the pool but Travis. It was the last round and it took forever for Trav to finally get caught so he would have to be it. So we decided to pull a little prank on him and the rest of us got out of the pool. So he is jumping and splashing around trying to tag us but there is no one in there. Just watch- it's pretty funny. He finally opened his eyesand was like "you guys" but he knows it was all in fun:)

For old funny pictures of Trav check out the June blogs and the November blogs in to the left.

Optical Illusions, part deux

I love Optical Illusions- they are so cool!!! I actually wrote a blog about them before (part 1), you can check it out if you like under my June blogs. Anyway, I have some new ones that are pretty nifty. Have fun twisting and tweaking your sense of reality. Just goes to show you can't always trust you eyes!



If you take a look at the following picture , it is not animated. Your eyes are making it move. To test this, stare at one spot for a couple seconds and everything will stop moving. Or look at the black center of each circle and it will stop moving. But move your eyes to the next black center and the previous will move after you take your eyes away from it. You can see the illusion better if you click on the image to make it larger:)

Are the purple lines straight or curved?

Click on this one to make it larger as well- works better!

The Coolest Dog Ever!!!

I love the pups!!! Probably because they love you no matter what. They are so excited to see you when you come home. They get stoked just when you say their name and tell them what a good doggie they are. Even when they do something bad and you have to yell at them, all they want to do is win back your approval. Dogs are great! Check out this clip of an awesome pooch!!! Sometimes it takes a bit to load so be PATIENT!!! Click on the play arrow at the bottom of the screen (not the one in the middle) and then just wait for the video to start:)

Super Sweetness!!!

Ok- I know I have a series of "sweet" things, but notice this one is preceded by the word "super" and it sure is!!!! Cat emailed me the video and I thought I would share it with all of you. A couple of questions to ask yourself while viewing: Where did they get all those treadmills? Did boys really choreograph this? How long did it take? How did they remember it all? And finally- Why?

Enjoy!!!

Sweet Game

Miniture golf is actually the only kind of golf I have played- I love it! Such a blast. This game has some interesting holes. It takes a bit to understand how to putt but read the instructions and you shouldn't have any problems. I was doing great until the last hole! Let me know your score, post it- remember lowest wins!!!

Dirty Feet

I can't stand having dirty feet. I mean I can put up with it for awhile and I enjoy dirty activities- like mud day at Camp Sugarpine, but I don't like my feet to stay that way. In fact I can't sleep if my feet are dirty. There is just something that drives me nuts about even the thought of sticking dirty feet under the sheets- ugh! At Whitewater I would have my wet wipes right by my bed so that at night, when I was ready to get in my sleeping bag I could sit on my bed and wipe my feet down pretty well before sticking them in bed. At home even, if I feel my feet are dirty I will stick them in the sink and wash them off. I've been told it is kinda a funny sight, me standing at the sink washing first one foot then the other. But oh, as that water and soap runs over my foot taking off all the dirt and grime from walking around a dirty environment, it feels just heavenly and I can sleep in peace.
