Well, that is some name for a town. When I was about 12, my sister and I made up a new insult-name to call each other, and yes, the name of that town was it. Imagine our prudish mother's surprise to hear us calling each other that. She was more surprised to hear we'd made up the word and would not tell us the real meaning, but hehe, we had a dictionary in the house. Then we were surprised!

I took the day off today and the link below shows where I went. Estimated number of geese was 1,000,000. Spectacular day, lots of nature sounds to fill the soul.

Oh ... and Dragon, thanks for sharing. Love towns with odd names. : )

How had Baldur never heard of the Arrogant Worms before?

...and marius, wherever there are that many geese there is bound to be a lot of something else.

This is the Winter that never was out here in Primrose.
The pond has not been frozen over for more than a day or two at a time.
Those poor ice fisherpeople are having the worst time ever.
Somehow the wildlife knows how to predict weather as the ducks never saw the need to fly South. You would think they would be on their way before the ice becomes an issue. They knew this year was a good one to stay 'put'.

Very interesting to read your recent posts. Esp. I liked marius comment "lots of nature sounds to fill the soul". This is, what nature sounds do, if you can hear it. Outside of Vienna, there are a lot of quiet places and I often go there, just for hearing nature`s voice.

Here are 2 of my favorite Arrogant Worms songs for you Baldur, the first is actually the first one I'd ever heard. You might say I was a convert from then on.

Shoot I didn't realize that the second one is the version done by Captain Tractor, but it is originally an Arrogant Worms song.

happiest of birthday anniversaries to you Baldur!

Dragon

Happy B-day to our gracious DJ here on Channel Baldur!

Dragon

Those shadow performances were so neat!

For Baldur, if I may suggest the best Arrogant Worms CD's I've heard are the self titled one and the one called Torpid. If you want to buy their albums their website is great, you can listen to any of their songs all the way through on it. arrogantworms.com
