Aftermath
“Enjoy the game?” Spence says.
“Yeah,” says Admin. “The parts I remember. That includes seeing lots of Cubbies fans. They were nice and friendly.”
“I hear you joined in the singing of Sweet Caroline in the middle of the eighth.”
“Where’d you hear that?”
“There were complaints.”
Welcome the elusive T.C.

Good Morning to All!
Admin: I would have paid to hear you sing “Sweet Caroline.” (snicker) Anyway, I’m glad you got to see the game before the end of the world!
9:23 am on May 21st, 2011
I love that song…and Neil Diamond. Who won?
As T&G said: The world can’t end today because I have far too much to do.
Good morning all.
9:28 am on May 21st, 2011
I think I heard Admin in that video!!
My guys will be very jealous. Admin saw a WIN! 15 – 5
After extensive research (HA) I have discovered that the Rapture is at 6 pm local times. So I figure Liz will find out about it first and can relay it over here.
The Eastern portion of the blog will relay and so on until we get to C. Harris. If she’s in Alaska at this time. Otherwise it will be Wölfie and BearSpiritDog and Molly (ABP). I think . . .
9:41 am on May 21st, 2011
Wow, I’m downloading an app for Dan. Peterson’s Field Guide to Birds. It is taking 30 minutes.
EAGLE PIC! They are growing into their feet.
9:44 am on May 21st, 2011
Melanie – It’s already 11:45 p.m. in Australia and – oh no! We haven’t heard from Liz!
9:58 am on May 21st, 2011
Melanie – Most of the books we read are on the Kindle and then the Kindle app lets them be read on the iPad too. When Mom wanted a bird book, she got it directly from Apple so the birds are in color. She picked The Encyclopedia of North American Birds and loves it.
10:00 am on May 21st, 2011
Well, I shall plunder on anyway. Going to farmer’s market.
Mollypop: It’s sunny and beautiful here. Like you, we’re supposed to have rain all next week. Hope your pool party doesn’t get rained upon.
10:16 am on May 21st, 2011
Hello Chet, Admin, Spence, B, Molly, Melanie, Rose,
We are thinking that Admin was probably in that video somewhere…did anybody see him?
Neil Diamond….and Red Sox…we think maybe we were having more fun in Oley last evening.
Hey did you see Mom finally caught T.C. in a picture !!!!! YAY now we increase our chance of winning in June.
Beautiful sunny day here (finally). Lots and Lots and Lots of grass to cut, so we will most likely not be able to post much today.
10:17 am on May 21st, 2011
Molly, have a fun – and dry- day for your party. We are supposed to get rain off and on for 5 days.
BSD, Finally got a chance to view the Martha video. The salad box was very similar to what we built, except that we didn’t put the window screen on the bottom. Used the same wire that they used, but put landscape fabric on the inside of the bottom. Also ours was 1 foot shorter and contained 2 inside sections. It’s a great idea for someone with limited space. Thanks for mentioning it to us.
Going to try to get some outside stuff done before the rain starts, and also have to get to the library this morning. BBL
10:42 am on May 21st, 2011
Video!…At first I thought that Admin had shot the video…heh!…Then I realized it was from the 2008 opener…grunt!…The year after they beat the Rockies in the World Series…gruffle!
Beasts!…Well, my friend is going to try once again to go see the Lions and Tigers and Bears out at that sanctuary…sniff!…I wonder if Bob Barker will be there? Its cold out, but the sun is peaking through the clouds. Maybe the beasts will come out and sun them selves today…wuffle!
11:02 am on May 21st, 2011
We are having large clouds with peaks of sun!
WHERE’S LIZ?
(scary music theme here)
The iPad app is great. He should have no trouble with it and you get to HEAR the calls. Pretty cool.
Saw a Baltimore Orieole this morning. Now there is a beautiful bird.
Riö, hope your friend gets to see the wild beasties.
And B.Stover, find some great stuff.
11:02 am on May 21st, 2011
So we sat up all night long with an atlas, a world clock, a calculator and a bowl of dry kibble to munch on. This guy who is planning our fates says that the world will end with an earthquake at sunset.
ok
So we have te same question that we asked when people were panicing over the world ending at midnight on Dec.31 1999 –
IN WHAT PART OF THE WORLD? WHICH TIME ZONE? And what about the parts of the world that don’t go by the Roman calendar?
Is this guy really so arrogant that he thinks the whole world is going to revolve (or not) around HIS timekeeping methods.
Boy, the Aztec, Chinese and assorted other people may have something to say about that!
Sheesh – people are weird!
(I think we would have heard by now if Australia had fallen off the face of the globe – so HI Liz! Welcome to the “new” world)
11:06 am on May 21st, 2011
See – Great minds(?) DO think alike – Melanie posted at the same minute we did!
We gotta go for now – we are going to go meet a world famous potter who might be will to do our firing for us!!! Paws crossed!
BBL
11:07 am on May 21st, 2011
“might be WILLING” – sheesh, Corgis can’t type
11:24 am on May 21st, 2011
Actually, I think it is about 1:30 am in Australia right now, so unless they have already fallen off the edge of the world, we may not hear from Liz until later today in any event. Glad that Admin got to see a good game; we were up late following the Rockies on Yahoo — not a pretty outcome, a walk-off n home run for Milwaukee in the14th inning ended it sadly for the Rockies. Wookie
11:46 am on May 21st, 2011
Melanie – Mom is looking at the app that Dan got and she see it’s for the iPhone too. Once the guests are gone she will get it.
12:18 pm on May 21st, 2011
Good Morning!
Poor Admin. Seems the singing voice is not appreciated by some.
Hello to TC, and B up there at the top today!
We have about another nine hours til “the end” here on the West Coast, so will make the most of it! A soggy type day here too after those amazing 4 days of warm sunny weather.
Barb&Maggie: We jotted down your instructions for the Salad Box as the smaller size will work better for our purposes. Thanks for the email to Wolfie’s mom. We really miss them.
Catching up with last night’s posts – Siber-H, Wookie and Rio – you guys crack me up with your baseball talk. Frontline for Betancourt indeed 🙂 Rio, you are a great announcer. I feel like I’m right at the game and actually am becoming interested.
Das reboot: Still no luck, Rio. It does seem to be a wireless connection problem though. The main computer is ok, but the laptop and Roku don’t connect. We’re now waiting for someone in the know to sit at the computer & talk with tech support. Nana can’t do it because she is freaking out from the stress and was told to wait for help.
I haven’t had my breakfast yet so I, too, am getting growly.
BBL – Bear
12:43 pm on May 21st, 2011
I got some more lovely herbs (no B&S not you): Basil for my neighbor, sphere basil, celery herb, and curly parsely for me. Also wonderful tomatoes (though not as good as they’ll be in August) and fresh beautiful asparagus. Yum!
T&G: I’d like to hear more about the world potter. Very interesting. How are your projects coming?
Shortly I will leave for a meal out and then I’m finally going to see the movie Jane Eyre. During The Rapture–my time–I will be sitting in the theater and half way through the film. The world wouldn’t dare end before I see the end of the film.
1:34 pm on May 21st, 2011
B: Is it your Farmer’s Market day? Enjoy your movie this afternoon. We’ll see you on “the other side” WAHAHA
2:22 pm on May 21st, 2011
It’s the Preakness today – 2nd race of the Triple Crown. Again, picking Midnight Interlude and also, Mr.Commons (although outside post position can’t be good)
2:29 pm on May 21st, 2011
Hey everybody, it’s me, Wolfie. I had been in lurk mode for awhile, and was off for a few days. Sometimes life gets the bet of me and I need to regroup.
Anyway, I’ve caught up on the blog, and I have one question: what?’s with the frisbees?
2:37 pm on May 21st, 2011
HI WÖLFIE!!
Glad you’re out of lurker mode. No news on the Frisbees. I think the Red Sox game got in the way.
3:37 pm on May 21st, 2011
Hurray, Wolfie!! Good to see you back. Yes, the frisbees are still a mystery. I hope they haven’t forgotten.
3:47 pm on May 21st, 2011
We’re being backdoored by a low. So now thunderstorms and rain.
I was out walking . . . very wet now. 🙂
4:17 pm on May 21st, 2011
Melanie, did you get pictures of the “peaks of sunshine”? I don’t think we have those in Texas.
4:57 pm on May 21st, 2011
Hello plunderers! Jazzy’s mom here. Spent the morning at a local museum checking out the Bodies Revealed exhibit. Actual bodies/people showing actual body parts. Brain, heart, kidney, intestines, bones, muscles, spine, nerves, embryos, reproductive, skeleton, etc. Highly informative, but exhausting with all the walking around.
Job is good, very long days with the 2 hour commute time. Nothing happpening with selling the house.
One just plunders on.
5:05 pm on May 21st, 2011
Oh, I forgot to take pictures of the
dangblasted spell check, fingers don’t workpeaks of sunshine. It usually just happens later in the evening when the sun goes behind the western hills and lights up the eastern hills.snigglefrizets.
Jasper, have you tried burying a rabbit upside down in the yard. . . no wait, that can’t be right . . .
5:23 pm on May 21st, 2011
Jasper! Just ask Barb&Maggie. They did the upside down thingy and it seems to be helping…Is that a 2 hour total commute time or one way?
Haven’t heard any news yet on the race.
5:33 pm on May 21st, 2011
Hey Siber-H! You’re up at the top!
5:49 pm on May 21st, 2011
I’ve got Whitey-Lance! Sun is PEEKING out now. Just in time for evening.
I noticed on NOAA’s site they had a prediction for Hurricane season . . .
Actually they had two prediction. One said lower than normal number of hurricanes this season and the other said higher than normal number of hurricanes this season.
I guess they are covering all the bases.
7:06 pm on May 21st, 2011
We’re watching “Half Light” with Demi Moore.
We have no idea what is real in this thing. Very good.
7:50 pm on May 21st, 2011
Jasper, Barb buried an upside down guy in the front yard, and has a bunny picture on the refigerator. Still haven’t sold the house, but have some lookers.
No baby goats, but 16 baby chicks and possible 2 more coming. That’s a 60% hatch rate, which isn’t too bad for a little counter top incubator. Barb did a terrific job of turning the eggs, so chicks made it out of their shells with no problems. You have to turn the eggs several times a day or the babies stick to the sides of the shells and can’t peck their way out.
Hey, we didn’t get raptured, so we ordered a pizza. Didn’t defrost anything tonight, just in case! Have to drive in and pick it up, we don’t have delivery out here in the boonies. Going to watch Secretariat later.
7:55 pm on May 21st, 2011
Wahooooo!!!! We won the race! That is – our horse did. That is – the horse we were betting on. That is – the horse that we SAID we would be betting on. Well, you know what we mean. So, we aren’t rich, but we have the satisfaction of being “righter” than the so called experts. Ha!
Glad to see that we are all still here. Wouldn’t you love to talk to that 89 year old guy who said the world was ending? What in the heck is he saying right now? “Dam, thought I would be gone and not have to answer these stupid questions”
The potter is going to fire some of Mama’s stuff. Bee – here is a link to his web site and some of his work. His “basket” pots are gorgeous – and HUGE. Like 3 feet tall. Mama is in awe.

7:58 pm on May 21st, 2011
Oops – let’s try that link again:
http://www.andrewquientpottery.com
Barb and Maggie – “didn’t defrost anything” – too funny!
8:00 pm on May 21st, 2011
Home!…. She is finally home!…yeep!yeep!…She left me here all day long alone with her mother…sniff!…Her mom is really grouchy tonight partly because my friend was gone all day and mostly because she went grocery shopping and was shocked out of her knickers how expensive everything thing is all of a sudden…grunt! …She didn’t get half the stuff she was going to, so my friend said she would get the rest tomorrow…sniff!
Sanctuary!…It was a good day to go to the sanctuary because all of the big Kats, bears, wolves and assorted other animals were all out in the sunshine…heh!…Photos might be forthcoming if she isn’t to tired…huffle!
8:31 pm on May 21st, 2011
Jane Eyre is a wonderful film. My physics professor friend liked it also even though it isn’t his type of movie. The acting is superb and the scenery is beautiful. I have to find out where it was filmed.
Thank you for the link T&G. His pottery is breathtaking. I especially like 130, 131 and 132. Let’s see, if I save some money perhaps….
We had no rapture here either. They were warning about zombies in Ann Arbor. (Joke…)
8:33 pm on May 21st, 2011
Beasts!…. My friend says each and everyone of these animals have a very sad story. They were all in abusive environments before rescued by the Craig family and brought to the Wildlife Santuary…sniff!…Here is what their life is like now…whuffle!
They sunbath….
8:39 pm on May 21st, 2011
Heh!…They bath bath.
8:42 pm on May 21st, 2011
Snuff!…They rest.
8:44 pm on May 21st, 2011
Heh!… They eat lunch!
8:46 pm on May 21st, 2011
Then!….They rest some more!…snort! Life is good for these guys now compared to what they went thru for years and years…sniff!
8:55 pm on May 21st, 2011
Rio – what wonderful pics. So glad these poor critters have been rescued. Tell ya what – someday, Mother Nature is going to turn on the humans for all the misdeeds.
Glad all of our humans are good, loving people who believe in rescue and LOVE!
8:59 pm on May 21st, 2011
Woooo!Wooooo!Wooooo!!!!…snort!
9:00 pm on May 21st, 2011
The guests are gone and everyone had such a nice day. After weeks of rain, and all next week forecast for rain, today was amazing. Temps in the 70’s and strong sunshine.
Tomorrow Mom is going on “Routes to Art.” Local artists have opened their studios and Mom and a friend will be among the many people out visiting these very interesting places.
9:01 pm on May 21st, 2011
I’m glad those animals are okay now.
B&M you had us laughing here. And B.Stover! Zombies!
Pottery is great, hope it works for your mum T&G.
“Half Light” was good, a little drawn out, but kept us guessing.
Going to bed, TTFN
9:07 pm on May 21st, 2011
Mom woke up from a nap and discovered that she and dad were still here, which dad made mention of. Mom said that just because we are still here doesn’t mean everyone is, so we were glad to see our blog friends are still around, too. At the falling place this morning, one of mom’s friends said “If I go, or if I stay it’s OK. I will have friends in either group”.
9:10 pm on May 21st, 2011
The CDC was using a Zombie invasion to highlight the need for emergency preparedness, no matter what the emergency. From what I understand, this is what dad does at the gone-all-day place, but he has not completed the zombie plan for our city. I intend to hide in the attic and hope they don’t think min-pins are extra tasty.
9:18 pm on May 21st, 2011
Miz Macy – I will do my best to make sure no zombies chew on your cute little butt.
9:34 pm on May 21st, 2011
I just woke from a Thera-flu induced nap to find that we’re still here, too. AJ must have talked with Barb&Maggie because he brought home a take and bake pizza—no muss, no fuss for the end of days is a good rule of thumb.
9:36 pm on May 21st, 2011
Why thank you, Mr. Bone. I feel safer already. Also, I like to wrap myself completely in blankets, which mom call schnitzeling. Zombies have notoriously bad senses of smell, so they will never know I am here, as I get quite flat.
9:38 pm on May 21st, 2011
O, O, O Bella I forgot to mention. I got MINE. Love it, love it. I was thrilled to see such a lovely placemat for my bowl. Thank you so much. Annie and Belle will just have to lump it.
9:47 pm on May 21st, 2011
Rebecca!…. You’ve been feeling bad for a very long time now…snort!…I sure hope you go see the dreaded doctor or get better real soon before you have to do that doctor thing…sniff!
SiberH!…Can you please explain to me Why WE ARE SHUT-OUT of the game tonight!!….grump!…What the HELL!….blast!
9:54 pm on May 21st, 2011
RIO!!!
Mom just got home and turned the computer on for me so I could ask you the same question. I am getting college baseball on the channel the Rockies game should be on . Is that what you are getting instead of the Rockies game
WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO DO TO US?
10:03 pm on May 21st, 2011
Macy: I’m glad you like your surprise and that the marauding goats were unsuccessful in their attempts to thwart the shipping of said surprise.
Rio: I’m on anti-biotics and trying to rest as much as possible. Rest sounds nice, but that leaves the husband to his own devices—who knows what he’ll build or rebuild? This week, he’s working on building a warming cabin for our retired dogs from the usable materials of the old dog barn we destroyed a week or so ago.
10:08 pm on May 21st, 2011
Rio and Siber – ha ha ha HA!
10:09 pm on May 21st, 2011
SiberH!….I brought up the MLB.COM site and even they are not showing any games….snort!….What if all the Pro Baseball Players were Raptured?….sob!sob!sob!….sniffle!
10:10 pm on May 21st, 2011
I think we should out the Borzoi as a spy and deport her.
10:13 pm on May 21st, 2011
Oh My Dog…That would explain it, Rio.
Dad told me to just settle down and watch college baseball. I do not want to watch college baseball. yark, yark, yark
10:14 pm on May 21st, 2011
Ve do not think you need vorry about players of base of balls being raptured. Vith all that scratching and adjusting in front of hundreds of fans….ve think meybee they vould be left behind.
And Siber my darhlink – how do you propose to FIND Natasha? hmmmm?
10:20 pm on May 21st, 2011
Borzoi, I have more important things to think about right now…LIKE NO ROCKIES GAMES!!!
YARK!!!
10:22 pm on May 21st, 2011
Sox!….They have scratched their selves up to the top of their division….grunt!….Thanks a whole helluva lot Cubbies…grump! …Everybody is playing games, but they are not showing them for some reason…sniff! …At least not here and New Mexico…grumble!
10:30 pm on May 21st, 2011
SiberH & Rio: I don’t think that Natasha is beind your missing Rockies. Natasha may be many things: nefarious, cunning, elegant, undercover, and while her headwear tastes may not be for all, I don’t think she is cruel. It takes a certain kind of cruelty to deny you two your Rockies. Is Natasha behind it? I don’t think so, but perhaps an unknown band of college baseball players.
10:31 pm on May 21st, 2011
Oley Howlers,
Love to see another Kat with the special eye powers. Glad to have TC on the blog. I assume that stands for THE CAT!
We are still here in Minneapolis. Dawson, TurtlemanFred, E and I played cards this afternoon. I won TWO games. Dawson was rather annoyed. 😀
10:33 pm on May 21st, 2011
Rio and Mr.Husky,
You could watch the Twins defeat the Snakes! The just started.
😀
10:33 pm on May 21st, 2011
er…They just started.
10:35 pm on May 21st, 2011
No Baseball!….grump!….What the Hell!!!….grrrrrr!…I’m totally beside myself and she is off watching some Mummy movie…sniff!…This has been an all around bad day for me…gruffle!
10:36 pm on May 21st, 2011
Staff!…No Baseball!….Like I said…sniff!
10:38 pm on May 21st, 2011
Rio: Perhpaps you could hint to your friend that some ice cream would go well with her mummy movie. It may give you the chance of licking the bowl.
10:40 pm on May 21st, 2011
Bella – your vords about Natasha are kind. But do not forget – our mission is to disrupt plunderers and cause havoc.
And VHAT is wrong vith Natasha’s hats?? These are very top fashion in Paris and Minsk. Ve suppose you think BASEBALL hats are vhat beautiful vons vear???
10:40 pm on May 21st, 2011
Rebecca, You may be right. The college kids have taken control of the baseball networks. They have kidnapped all the Major League baseball players, OR they have been raptured.
Rio, I can find no explanation on the internet as to what has happend. I even went to Root Sports website…silence. I am sure their Facebookie and twitter will hear about this from Rockies fans.
10:47 pm on May 21st, 2011
SnowBella: Siber-H has his guys and gals on call in the event of a marauding goats incident. So far, so good. You’ll notice everyone seems to be finding interesting and novel uses for the surprise gift. That’s what happens when you’re dealing with a group of our obvious talents.
T&G: #1 Son was into the pottery thing a few years back. He had a kiln in the garage and the whole bit. As you can imagine, family members now have a large collections of bowls and assorted items around their homes (smile) He also made Nana a set of 4 mugs and the set of “See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Say No Evil” monkeys. Very nice. I believe he was selling his creations on ebay for a while.
Dog knows what Rio and Siber-H will do with themselves tonight without a game to narrate and exclaim over. Sorry guys. Very sad
Bear is going to call it a night. Tomorrow is a new day and the good news is – We are all here to see it!
.
10:49 pm on May 21st, 2011
Natasha: I’ve been known to wear a pink Stormy Kromer hat in winter which isn’t headwear that fits everyone’s taste eiter. A good hat is a must.
10:56 pm on May 21st, 2011
We are all here, but the baseball teams that is, which were raptured.
11:00 pm on May 21st, 2011
Well, I am stomping off to bed. Mom says she wouldn’t mind watching a mummy movie.
Night Everyone!!
11:02 pm on May 21st, 2011
Hats!….That strange hat Natasha wears in her Avatar photo is more of a hat mask thing…grunt!…That’s the one that offends my sense of style…sniff!
11:14 pm on May 21st, 2011
Rio and Mr.Husky, I found this by googling. Here is your reason. Fox decided not to broadcast for the reasons below.
by Steve Foster
The Colorado Rockies and Milwaukee Brewers game Saturday will not be televised. The game is scheduled to start at 5:10 p.m. MDT and falls in the national television window for Fox, who will broadcast its next two games Saturday games in the evening. The Rockies-Brewers game did not make the national TV schedule, but the Brewers elected not to move the game to the afternoon.
The Rockies’ next two Saturday games, an evening game May 28 vs. the St. Louis Cardinals and an afternoon game June 4 at the San Francisco Giants are scheduled to be broadcast by Fox.
11:15 pm on May 21st, 2011
Here is the link to the article.
http://www.insidetherockies.com/2011/05/21/no-rockies-tv-on-saturday/
11:16 pm on May 21st, 2011
Rio – your sense of VHAT?????????
11:18 pm on May 21st, 2011
Root!… Does Fox own Root Sports? …snort!….That’s the “new” network I watch all the games on. I didn’t know it was affiliated with FREAKIN’ FOX…. F-O-X …grump!grump!grump!…huffle!
11:21 pm on May 21st, 2011
Natasha!…You read me loud and clear…snort!…Tonight is not a good night to pick a fight over a silly hat…grump!
11:25 pm on May 21st, 2011
Ok my adorable little Spugnik. Ve are sorry you cannot vatch the base of balls. But you had vonderful day and lovely pictures of nice big kitties.
Ve vill vish you sveet dreams vith your baseball toys, and hope your Rock people can be on television for you soon.
Good night little von.
smooch!
11:26 pm on May 21st, 2011
Mummy’s!….Are Boring…sniff!…She’s thinking of going to bed already. This has been the worst day for me. Plus, no one ate ice cream tonight either…growl!…My bed is still turned towards the wall and I have to jump over the high back part to get into it…grump!…That whole thing really makes me mad too!…sniff!
11:29 pm on May 21st, 2011
We are back briefly. We watched Secretariat and it was quite good. Also enjoyed the rapture pizza.
Sorry you guys are missing your games.
Nattie, your hats are supurb, but Beatrice’s wedding hat topped yours. Maybe Melanie could photoshop that hat on to someone tomorrow.
Got two books at the library. One is titled Gingerbread Cookie Murder, and has 3 short novellas by Joanne Fluke, Laura Levine and Leslie Meier. Sort of light hearted fun. The other is more serious – Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand.
Great photos, Rio.
We agree with T & G that Mother Nature will get even with humans for all the cruelty some day. Just wonder if it will be against individuals or a group action.
We saw on the news that many people took the rapture very seriously, and they are afraid there could be violence or mass suicides as a reaction by those who thought the world would end.
We are going to read for a few minutes and then off to bed. Night all.
11:31 pm on May 21st, 2011
Hats!…We can continue the Hat discussion tomorrow possibly…grunt!….Now I need to go OUT! OUT! OUT!…in a big way….snuff!…Good night then. I wonder if the Rockies are winning…sigh!
5:13 am on July 18th, 2011
Do you like pony racing? I love visiting the races!
8:35 pm on July 5th, 2014
