Snow Sniffin’
Chloe, THIS is how you follow the flight of the snow geese
I thought I heard a puddy tat; Chloe, is Eli behind me?
(Suzy’s first caption made me snicker)
March 7th, 2011 at 7:54 am
I have just tried TWICE to submit a couple of captions – apparently cut-and-paste doesn’t work here. For the third time, without trying to insert URLS, here goes.)
Damn, I was SURE Ten Sleep was in a No-Fly Zone.
Chloe, don’t look up; a hummingbird spy drone just buzzed us.
(This is where I had inserted two URLs about those drones. You will have to look up said articles on your own. Sorry.)
(After reading the TSA mobile van article, I may never fly again … taking a slow boat, a freighter, to Europe always sounded appealing. I suppose ship passengers are inspected the same as airline passengers??)

O Sole Mio!
Neapolitan lyrics
Che bella cosa e’ na jurnata ‘e sole
n’aria serena doppo na tempesta!
Pe’ ll’aria fresca pare già na festa
Che bella cosa e’ na jurnata ‘e sole
Ma n’atu sole,
cchiù bello, oje ne’
‘O sole mio
sta ‘nfronte a te!
‘O sole, ‘o sole mio
sta ‘nfronte a te!
sta ‘nfronte a te!
Quanno fa notte e ‘o sole se ne scenne,
me vene quase ‘na malincunia;
sotto ‘a fenesta toia restarria
quanno fa notte e ‘o sole se ne scenne.
Ma n’atu sole,
cchiù bello, oje ne’
‘O sole mio
sta ‘nfronte a te!
‘O sole, ‘o sole mio
sta ‘nfronte a te!
sta ‘nfronte a te!
English translation
What a beautiful thing is a sunny day,
The air is serene after a storm
The air’s so fresh that it already feels like a celebration
What a beautiful thing is a sunny day
But another sun,
that’s brighter still
It’s my own sun
that’s upon your face!
The sun, my own sun
It’s upon your face!
It’s upon your face!
When night comes and the sun has gone down,
I almost start feeling melancholy;
I’d stay below your window
When night comes and the sun has gone down.
But another sun,
that’s brighter still
It’s my own sun
that’s upon your face!
The sun, my own sun
It’s upon your face!
It’s upon your face!
