Easy Sudoku for 1/December/2007

all. Can't say it is a beautiful morning - because it is to dark to tell what today will bring & it changes fast anyway. No snow yet. 1°C out there at 5 a.m. PST.

My U-tube now featuring 'MY WAY" by the 3 TENORS performed during the 84 Olympics at Dodger Stadium. Great Song - Great Voices! Frank Sinatra was in the front row and they salute him at the end of the song.

Will be updating my U-tube in 12 hours to start a Christmas celebration - of music of the Season.

Think that pic must be from around here.
Send me good luck with medical tests today, please. :)

Eve it is 7:00 am here and the sun is peaking out. Looks like another beautiful Texas day along with 70°F tempts.

Another glorious day to celebrate.

Excuse my rudeness.

Good Morning Wonderful Worldly people.

Good luck Nola--may you have the best results.

Is that goldenrod? - if so aaaaaAAchooooooo!
Good Maen every one.

to everyone! Second day that I am able to post! Have not done the puzzles yet! Take care

KB from Des Moines, Iowa

Looks like goldenrod to me and we have lots of it here. i get to look it it every fall. Many people do sneeze during goldenrod season, but most are actually allergic to other plants blooming at that time, less conspicious plants. goldenrod geta a bad reputation.

Did you know, goldenrod was once the state flower of Alabama? But because it is a windflower here, AKA as a weed, our lawmakers removed it and replaced it with the camilia!

Best of luck, nola. Hope your tests are just part of a routine check-up.

Rayray - loved your mouse dissertation yesterday!

I'm off to play tennis. Got a tough match lined up this morning - hope I'm up to it!

Hello everybody..nice flower.
OK how many of you have heard this song, 'DIDI'.
Its by Khaled, Algeria.I know not single word what he is singing but I luv this song.Why? chk for yourself in my youtube today.
cheers

I've only just realised the existence of rooms other than 'easy'. I had thought the other rooms were just puzzles

Ahh, RayRay, your world has just expanded!

Did you know there is also a room called Sudokuaholics Anonymous 3? Some of us chat their daily. It is found under forums.

BTW, everyone is welcome to check us out at SA3.

MizTricia: Your golden rod is not the same as our UK one. It is even in a different family. Yours looks like a Mimosa or Acacia. Is it native or of Oz origin?

Good Mean everyone! I hope all is well in your part of the world.

Thoughts and wishes of good luck are with you today Nola

2:31 Hi to all and have a good weekend.

2:11 NOLA, sending you my very best wishes that all goes well today. It's a beautiful sunny day here today, with an invigorating chill in the air. Hope you all enjoy your day!

Good Maen everyone. Pretty picture.

Nola - I am sending lots of luck your way.

Jane - Have a good day on the tennis court!

We have our first Official Winter Storm Watch tomorrow! More snow........ We still have a few patches here and there. Snow, Snow mixed with freezing rain turning to rain. I am headed off to the grocery store......

Have a great day/evening everyone.

Sending cyber good wishes your way, Nola! Hope all results are good ones!

I think this picture is an Australian Wattle, the national flower of Oz.
Please forgive me if wrong I've never been there when they are in full flower

all, time for bed now

That's what I thought GrannieMo

2:40. Good Maen to All.

I also think you are correct, GMo. When we were in Australia the hills were covered in yellow. I was told it was wattle.

Golden wattle is an Acacia.
The African wattle is different.
The latin names are clear but the nicknames are confusing.

I don't think they have allergical pollen. I think Miztricia is right. It is the wind pollinated plants associated with the wattle that give it any bad reputation.

Good Friday Maen, all!

Nola: best wishes for a good outcome on your tests

Acacia is a nightmare for me. There are three trees on the walkway to the offices of Education and one morning I was fine when I got out of my car and My eyes were swelled shut by the time I got into the office. They Had to take me out the back door. They said that it happened a lot during blooming season.

I posted a youtube last night, (with the help of Eve and my daughter). Herb was given a recording studio by his father, and while trying out all the instruments, made the Lonely Bull all by himself. No other people were used in the track.

Val from Bolton, England! It's still Nov. 30 where you are. Wish you had a page for me to visit with my birthday wishes! Hope you are having a good day.
Nola - hope you have good results on all your tests. Too bad they aren't the kind you can study for!
