I think I might have truly become one of those people who don't really exist in time and space.<BR/><BR/>There's only 4 million people back home and we live on a landmass that is 9 times bigger than Belgium so ... we have to be good to the animals or they might come get us.<BR/><BR/>But they live outside all the time, manic ... summer and winter, eating grass, being relatively free but for the fence thing.<BR/><BR/>And yes, animals have rights too ... of course there's hot stuff put out for them in winter ;)<BR/><BR/>Snow in Wyoming. Hmmm, I only know of the 'green grass of' :) It's only been hot here while I traveled - so hot.Di Mackeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273089782589416134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-51942390497901578462008-06-24T16:23:00.000+02:002008-06-24T16:23:00.000+02:00do the toilet bowls really flush in the other dire...do the toilet bowls really flush in the other direction? because that alone would make me pass out from being disorientedfuriousBallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158133736035219163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-7695427286899755222008-06-24T16:09:00.000+02:002008-06-24T16:09:00.000+02:00We got hit with snow in Wyoming just 2 weeks ago a...We got hit with snow in Wyoming just 2 weeks ago and almost couldn't make it out of Yellowstone--very odd.

They even warn to protect the cows and sheep.<BR/><BR/>Oh, does the weather report during summer advice placing an extra bowl of water with the livestock when it gets really hot?<BR/><BR/>And more importantly, do you think they should if they aren't already? :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-61164696783441426792008-06-24T11:48:00.000+02:002008-06-24T11:48:00.000+02:00It's got to be very disorienting to change hemisph...It's got to be very disorienting to change hemispheres like that!
