Jim from Jupiter

Thank you Jim, I thoroughly enjoyed looking through your new photos, especially the memorial ones.

Hi Jim, enjoyed browsing through your photos, Thnak you.

Hi Jim, Just went through all your photos. I have been to Washington but none of the other places. Enjoyed all the birds and animals etc. (I have looked at some of your photos before). All very interesting and educational.

Hi Jim! Really do hope the hurricane season has lost its bite. Because otherwise according to the climatologists, geologists, global warming has lengthen and made more severe storm seasons. Even though earth's history has had hotter climates - the Cretaceous and more recent the Eocine epoch, this time man has hasten the change! Lord only knows what that could do.

Oh BTW, my little special creature is the Palos Verdes Blue Butterfly. Poor thing won't even cross a street to find its larval food - Astragalus trichopodus leucopsis (Rattle weed). In 1992 it was declared extinct by Dr Rudy Mattoni. Then in 1993 when the government opened a military fuel depot which has restricted before, they decided to have scientists go through to check the wildlife. Dr. Mattoni went and was pleasantly surprised by the butterfly. It was saved by the military restrictions. The area is closed off to public for the preservation of these beautiful shiny blue butterfly. And it's near the school where I teach.

Jim - saw your comment anticipating the snow bird migration. Was wondering: Do you specifically have any way in which the snow birds add to your personal economy?

Jim, glad to chat. Actually, I knew you were talking about people who winter in better weather, like you have in S. Fla. You said you welcomed the snowbirds because of their positive impact in the local economy. I was just wondering if you are able to sell any goods or services and make money directly for yourself during "snowbird season." Sort of my way of asking if you had any self-supporting hobbies or sideline business activities that you'll be gearing up for the next few months.

Sorry Jim. I read Heidi's reply before I read your post. She merely congratulated India also but didn't say why. Outside the financial meltdown, the cricket result is the biggest news item in Australia this morning.In fact the cricket has the last three pages of the paper and the financial situation has been relegated to page 25 in the busiess section. Deciding not to have a dog again was a hard decision but my wife & I are not getting any younger and we thought a new dog would outlast both of us and as both cats are about 7 years old a puppy would probably stress them too.

Thanks Jim for your explanation on posting. As I am rarely up around midnight, I had never realise we can post on the day before..... silly me, there I was, waiting for the page to change date by itself....lol.... and wondering where every body was... Glad you notice.

Hi Jim,

Don't worry about the misunderstanding. (I have a feeling that you don't worry much about internet banter. ) I've always felt that communication w/o face-to-face contact is very difficult except for the most talented of writers.

Thanks for your comments on my pictures. The geese in formation is one of my favorites.

We will be in Florida next summer, but will not be near Jupiter. Too bad; I'd like to meet you sometime.

Cheers, Hal

Hello Jim,
I just stopped by to check out your new photos and being relatively new hadn't seen the rest so I have thoroughly enjoyed visiting your page, the pictures are beautiful and jupiter (funny name) looks like a wonderful place, well cheers for now, take care & best wishes, Sophia

Jim, thanks for replying it sounds fantastic where you live and a bit wierd with those names but looks lovely regardless, have you lived there long and I guess the weather is hot most of the time????

Hi Jim, Thanks for the welcome. I haven't had time to look at all of your pics. (slow dial up) Those I have seen are wonderful.

Hello Jim - to you! (Am I late?) I hope your is a great one along with the whole year!

, Jim! Thanks for sharing yourself with us!

Jim!
I've brought you a present...
I've just looked through your newer pics. With your interest in wildlife, you seem to live in the perfect area. Wonderful picture of the hawk!
Thank you for your comments on my photos. I'm glad you enjoyed them.
While growing up, I met many of the pilots that my Dad flew with. None of them wanted to recount their war experiences. I imagine it was as painful for them as it was for him. It was interesting to find from the Sudoku group that he (they) were not unusual in that regard.
Enjoy your day. Have a slice of cake

Jim!
May your special day be filled with many happy surprises!

Have a good one!

Jim while you are still celebrating in your part of the world.

to you Jim

My you have a special day and a very happy year

Jim, I hope you and your son have a great day together and that this is the beginning of a great year.

Enjoy your special day - I went over to Oak brook Mall with my son this fine fall day and walked around the German Christmas town -- it's heading down to Daley Plaza next week. We had a wonderful colorful fall up North - Take Care, Mary

Happy Birthday from OZ

Hey Jim, Have a great one

Jim, hope your day is full of love, laughter and happiness, best wishes for your birthday, how come your birthday isn't listed, cheers.

Hiya Jim! Just wanted to stop in with a birthday cake for you. I didn't see your name in the birthday box, but "knowing" members on the site have claimed this to be your day! Best wishes!

to you,
to you,
dear Jim!
to you!
May your special day be wonderful with a and lots of !

Sorry I'm a day late! That's the problem with having a job, I miss out on a lot!

Thanks, Jim, for your message. We are in Spring Hill (Hernando County) on the west coast. My husband and I watched the launch from our front yard! This was my first time to see a night launch and found it quite beautiful. Your photos are fabulous. I'll share the with hubby when he wakens.
I seldom post anything, but almost always do the Easy puzzle. I've become close friends with Jano from Lebanon and Kathy from Valrico. Jano has come here for a visit and Kathy and I have been to each other's homes.
CeeCee has promised to start a quilt when her demands for being a grandmother have lessened.
Could you photograph your antique quilt and post it? I'd love to see it. I, too, have quilts made in the 1800's as my grandmother and her mother both were quilters.
You can get my email address from Ed in Valrico.

Impressive picture, Jim. Maybe, someday, I'll be present for a launch...

Great pictures Jim. Thanks for sharing your life with us ... Dave

I've enjoyed catching up with your photos, Jim. The shuttle ones were awesome!

Jim, I saw this article and thought of you...

Hope it is still there when you see this message!

Hey Jim,
just thought I'd pop in and say hello, haven't seen you posting lately unless I can't see properly which could be the case. Otherwise hope your well and take care.

Hi Jim! Just playing catch up tonight on the site & have to first apologize for missing your birthday on Nov. 13. I had intended to post a greeting to you before we left on our trip that day, but it was one of the things on the list in my head that I never got around to. Don't know if you'll believe it, but I actually remembered that I forgot as we were waiting at the airport! Oh well, hope you had a happy day. At least I will be able to give you a couple belated gifts - some beer cans we brought home for you from each of the four countries we visited. Rob was more than happy to empty the cans for you. We found ourselves (me, too!) drinking more beer than usual since it was quite hot there & cold beer tasted much better than wine!
Thank you for remembering MY birthday & posting on my page. I had a wonderful day starting off with watching the sun rise over Angkor Wat! We actually took thousands of pictures which we will have to whittle down to just our favorites to post on Flickr. We may not get around to that until after Christmas, but do take a look at our tiger pic on my page! That was so exciting! Your shuttle launch shots are pretty exciting, too, especially with that full moon! One of these times we must get over there to watch a launch from nearby.
I'm determined to be early, instead of late, to wish you & Will a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
