Hey :)

Did manage to go sledding on a small local hill. Lots of fun. Then got invited to a “snow party” at one of the neighbors, which was also good. Alas, only got 3-4 cm of fresh snow, and so had to go to work today :(

The long distance LH/RH relationship is not going to work out. LH doesn’t know it yet, but RH is about to make a new local friend. I think they will hit it off and be visiting the den soon!

I still don’t quite get mystic map requests. I just ask all my neighbors, but I’m starting to wonder if that is the best strategy. Yesterday I got a map request from you, but it said the request was 2 days old. As often as I check the account, that is not possible unless it was delayed by TL. So does TL only send requests to the first 20 or something? If so the inactive players really hurt.

Tournaments going quite well. Dynasty went quietly on both accounts, sounds like he was much more difficult for you. Hope the rest of the tourney is easier for you (I’ll put in a good word to infinity, lol) I’m going to be well short of 99 arrowheads at the end, however. Congrats to you for better planning. Maybe working on a tradeable BB would be smart. I need 6 large onyx to complete the craftable black types, onyx, jade, tiger’s eye. I have an extra black knight on each account and 2 extra Night elves on Dragons, but need to figure a better strategy. The small onyx route would take 4ever.

Summoning – sounds like I’m a little behind you, but I should be OK. I’ve actually finished quests on one account but still have more than a day’s food harvesting to go.

OMG, the bride dragon is truly hideous! What are they trying to do to the poor groom? Has he seen her? I mean, sure, Hollywood/Bollywood expectations are unrealistic, perhaps, but c’mon, really?

Driving around here is OK except in rush hour. Fortunately I have a very short commute and don’t have to deal with that. They are starting to put up cameras that catch speeders and people that run red lights. They photograph the license plate and send out a ticket. Speed cameras are mostly near schools and such, with the others at bad intersections. But even without those people generally obey traffic lights and such. The only place I’ve been in asia is Beijing, and I didn’t drive there. Your description reminds me a bit of Sao Paulo, Brazil, where I did drive. It had the same crazy feel, but was also funny cause other drivers were generally polite and let people in even though traffic lights and lanes were sortuv ignored. Its totally unlike the DC area where everyone’s an ass and will try and cut you off if they figure out you want over. I don’t do the pedometer thing myself, but I think people try to get 10 to 20k steps/day. I have a pedometer on my running watch that seems reasonably accurate once you set the stride length, but I pretty much ignore it.

Good luck and good night. xoxo   Oh yeah, Happy Valentine’s Day! Do people care in Bangalore? It’s marketed heavily by stores over here, oh wait, I mean they care about celebrating love, haha. (I’m so cynical).
