Not willingly. I was fearful for the health of my dog. My wife told me that there was "something" out there, and that Duke had gone nose-to-nose with it on dark early-morning walks a couple of times when he was off-leash. I was glad to have shot it when I inspected "porky's" body because his hind legs (apart from feet) were totally devoid of hair, crusty, oozing and smelly. Sarcoptic mange cannot be tolerable for any wild critter.Evo said:AWWWW, that's so adorable, I had no idea! And turbo just killed one.

Ivan Seeking said:Always meant to try that. It looks like a blast!
Kurdt said:Its very good fun. The guys in that vid are some of the best in the UK. I was lucky to have taken part in it.
Ivan Seeking said:What is the typical top speed on those?
Kurdt said:The ones in the vid have a top speed of around 70 MPH. It depends on the model and how daring your local circuit is as to how fast their hire karts will be.
dlgoff said:I get teary listing to this by any artist during the season. But this is too much. I must purchase her Christmas CD.
I've been procrastinating as usual in ordering her Christmas album. Just last night I was listening to our previously posted Youtube tunes. Too many tears to read my credit card number to place an order, as Christmas is kind of a special time where music of this caliber turns me into a sentimental drunk.Ivan Seeking said:Tsu got me that for Christmas along with the DVD of her Dream With Me concert. The DVD includes a few performances given in the Ringling Museum of Art, which includes her Dark Waltz performance linked previously, and then her concert in Sarasota Florida, which is the one broadcast [or to be broadcast] on PBS's Great Performances.
Incredible! As I suspected, when she performs for TV shows and in relatively informal settings, she hams it up a bit. When in concert, and I suspect when under the watchful eye of Foster, she is more disciplined. I think these performances are her best by far. There were a number of selections that I hadn't heard. And for the ones that I had, either they were better performances, or at least had better sound and video quality than one can get from You Tube.
She shines the brightest when she takes on the most difficult songs. Simply amazing!
One surprise was that her uncle Matt wrote the song, To Believe. The power of her voice in that song just blows me away.
Here is the list of songs from the DVD
1.When You Wish Upon a Star
2.Nella Fantasia
3.O Mio Babbino Caro
4.To Believe
5.Imaginer
6.Lovers
7.Dark Waltz
8.Angel
9.Somewhere
10.Mi Mancherai
11.Ombra Mai Fu
12.All I Ask of You
13.The Lord’s Prayer
14.Dream With Me
15.Nessun Dorma

Too fun! My assistants (project manager and writer) and I hit a place in Florida a day early years ago, and we went to a cart-track. The owner and a couple of his managers had souped up several carts, and we slipped them a few bucks to get to use them. It is scary to go so fast so close to the ground and so close to each other. The three of us were the only people on the track. We should have been wearing helmets and protective gear, probably, but I know my neck couldn't have taken the G-forces in the turns with a helmet on my head. The track was all rubber-coated and tight and twisted, so we couldn't get max speed out of those machines before backing off and turning. I sure would love to have run them on a track with longer straightaways and run-outs.Kurdt said:New Karting League starting in the UK next year.

Having been in a few bands from about age 12 to well into my 20s, there were times (which I believe is what drives good musicians) when we were all in "complete" sync with each other, our instruments and the audience. It was like your muscles were making the music and you were outside listening. The resulting euphoria is probably similar to other "techniques" that causes this mental detachment. For me at least, I would definitely describe it as JOY. And it appears it can works both ways. i.e. the musician making the music or audience listening to the music.Ivan Seeking said:She gave precisely the answer that I was hoping and expecting to hear based on my own observations. She isn't really thinking. Something comes over her and fills her with joy. That joy is what captured my heart. You can see it.
