    Aaahhh there was this very old book I used to have... It was a book full of mazes, but what I really liked about it was the pictures.

    See, it started off with (I believe) a giant tree house... And it followed this loose but simple 'story' adventure, so there was some reasoning behind the sequence of mazes you went through.
    It had very intricate pictures, like you'd see in the old "I Spy" books, and the paths didn't always end in simple 'dead end' alleys, rather there'd be blockades of sorts that were themed to the setting you were in. Like in the first, the main character's parents might be talking along a path, and since you don't want to get caught, you can't go that way. In a dark forest setting, there would be things like cobwebs or pitfalls or 'evil spirits' and things, and obviously you can't pass across those - so they are tantamount to a dead-end even if the path is seemingly not blocked.

    There was a river setting, and a pirate ship... Pretty sure there were others too. It was a very beautiful book really, fun to look at even when not solving the mazes.


    Problem is, I can't for the life of me remember what the name of it was ><<br /> Such sads.

    Dover is the big English language publisher of books like that, if iz any help
    http://store.doverpublications.com/by-subject-children-s-books-children-s-activity-books.html

    Looked through and didn't find it :(

    http://store.doverpublications.com/0486499499.html
    Had a serious face-palm moment at the description to this one though :lol:

    "Sarah Smith has to find him in the Jurassic period and get him home in time for dinner—before he becomes a meal for angry Tyrannosaurus!"

    The incriminating sections are highlighted in bold font ;P
    Either this was published a very very very long time ago, or the "teen genius" is an idiot. Or both. The T.rex came a few million years later in the Cretaceous. The allosaurus on the other hand (Which I figure is the one being colored in at the bottom corner) was indeed from the Jurassic. :)

    We've known that for quite a while now, so I'm thinking that it's just an old publish. Or maybe accuracy just wasn't a 'thing' for them. Ah well, was silly to read whatever the case x)

    Everyone can relate to the Jurassic 'coz of the Park thing, maybe it sounds safer to send your kids to a park than to an era :lol:

    Eh this is actual time travel so no one's being sent to any "park" here :B

    Anyway, still no luck on finding that maze.... :(
    Very sads.

    Leatherback Turtles have scary looking mouths! D:

    Would make for a great sci-fi beast's mouth or something though :)
    Apparently they mainly eat jellyfish, hence the spiky things in their mouths (Keeps 'em from escaping)

    Spent nearly an hour and a half shoveling...not nearly done. But Diane is all set to drive off when she's ready. It's difficult to toss the snow over the mounds now. Mmmm...mounds bar. I digress. I am taking a break. I'll have something to eat and watch something on TV, then I'll go back out and attack it some more. Already tired, though.

    Somebody doesn't know what a loafer is. New product in the store is called Lace-up Loafers and Socks for Genesis 2 Males. Loafers are lace-less shoes! The whole point is for a shoe you can "loaf around" in. They slip on and you go, no laces to tie. They often have embellishments, like buckles or even a tied lace that is purely decoration and not functional. Some have an elastic band on the sides to enable easily slipping them on and off while remaining snug when on the foot. But you do not tie loafers! :-/

    I guess it depends on what country you come from cause loafers can have functioning or nonfunctional laces https://www.google.com/search?q=Loafers+with+laces&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=Loafers+with+laces&tbm=shop

    To quote Mr. Scott, "If my grandmother had wheels she'd be a wagon." Don't trust everything you see in a Google search. People call SUVs cars. They are not, they are trucks. People who try to drive them like cars soon find out that they do not handle like a car, because they're not. They call Rap music...it is, in fact, people talking to a beat. It may be an art form, it may be performance, but it is not music. People in the 3D world call a leather bikini armor! It is not. :)

    I love Carls Jr.'s Bacon Western - just love it so much hehe. Always get it without onions though, not a fan of onions. Hate 'em! Love garlic, hate onions. How strange!

    Ugh. Another three hours shoveling. Where to put it? I only finished the driveway and cleaning my car off, and clearing the path to the fire hydrant again. No energy left to do the path to the bird feeder from the back door and from there to the barrel of seed and then around the deck to the gate. maybe tomorrow. Outlook for Thursday? More snow...three to six inches as of the latest forecast. :shut:
