SPRING HAS SPRUNG!!              

For all those out there with green thumbs, spring is a glorious time. Ah, the joy of digging in and feeling the good earth between your fingers. Ah, the smell of it. It has been a mild winter, so the daffodils are magnificent this year. Even on hazy and over cast days, they are bright and sun shiny. My mother's garden was wonderful this Easter Sunday. We refer to flowers as the "smiley fl-wow-eees". Her daffodils are certainly smiling. They were bright and shiny, with smiles to spare. Do you have the spring itch to play in the dirt? The links below are to sites dedicated to gardening. Beginners and life long gardeners will find good stuff to inspire the gardener in you. Enjoy

THIS IS NEAT NEAT NEAT

Found a "cool" site. EarthCam. Want to see live "Cam" shots of places all over the country, or even all over the world. You can see live pictures from "Venice Beach" to "Singapore". The "Virgin Mega Store" in New York, or a remote canyon road in the Rocky Mountains. However, I would recommend at least 32 megs of memory, and a 100 MHz Pentium or better to visit these places. (Sorry guys) Some also require "Java" viewer ability. So, if you got that, go tour the world. It's like "too totally cool."

On the main page, you can experience a live satellite view of our big beautiful blue keeper, the mother earth. Zoom in up to a 7o area. That is a lot of land space on a map, so don't expect to see people and roads. Still, you can pan around, and catch a high birds eye view of our planet. It's live satellite!! Cool! Neat! Neat! Cool! Cruz' the world and enjoy.

Some of my visits:

	The Santa Cruz Fogcam. Live from the Santa Cruz Mountains.
	Surf Line's OCEANSIDE, CA LIVE VIDEO
	Slug Video at the Dream Inn
	Aspen Live Cam
