hello all

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Hi aslindy. How are you and the pups?

6:16 am

aslindy

doing well, how are you?

6:17 am

Scrabbler

I am well but have not been able to hike for the last 2 days due to unhealthy air from smoke. Canadian wildfires are sending smoke south.

6:18 am

aslindy

we are getting some smoke, too. today will be worse, I hear. not as bad as out east, though

6:18 am

Scrabbler

You can smell the smoke too. It's like a campfire outside.

6:19 am

aslindy

quite hazy here, and yes sometimes can smell smoky

6:20 am

Scrabbler

The fires must be horrendous to cause this.

6:20 am

aslindy

indeed

6:21 am

aslindy

there was also a fire a couple hours north of us in michigan, but it's out now, thankfully. fire danger is still very high around here due to lack of rain.

6:22 am

Scrabbler

Yes, we have had no rain in > 1 week.

6:24 am

aslindy

we had a sprinkle over the weekend, before that... the most significant rain was under .25" on May 20

6:26 am

Scrabbler

I have to get ready for work. Business meeting at lunch too. Ugh.

6:28 am

aslindy

good luck today!

8:20 am

MollyL

Well be careful. I heard there are other ones sneaking around.

8:20 am

10:36 am

hokie carla

10:42 am

MollyL

Carla, you can be excused for not knowing the go7/8. They are archaic terms not used much anymore.

10:46 am

hokie carla

10:48 am

HarryHood

hello! 64 to go here

10:48 am

10:49 am

hokie carla

harry! ori!

10:49 am

origami

Hiya hokie!

10:50 am

HarryHood

just got back from submitting 2 kids' passports for renewal. and was told that we can't go to canada while they're being renewed - birth certificates are no longer accepted

10:50 am

HarryHood

and it takes up to 13 (!!!) weeks

10:50 am

penquis

it's a new era....hello all...

10:50 am

hokie carla

when's the last time you went? I don't think bc's have been acceptable for Can, Mex, or Carribean for a while now.

10:50 am

origami

What do they want in lieu of the birth certificate.

10:51 am

HarryHood

I'm not sure we had to have passports at all for the kids last time.

10:51 am

hokie carla

also, I know there are some express passport offices around, like atlanta, buffalo

10:51 am

HarryHood

ori I'm saying the kids can't get into canada w/o a passport

10:51 am

Shirlockc

i did mine in April and changed my flight because they kept saying it's up to 7-9 weeks and that is the EXPEDITED fee. I got mine in the 6 weeks per expedited

10:51 am

hokie carla

my friend's daughter drove to buffalo from charlotte because she couldn't get an appt in atlanta

10:52 am

origami

Oh, Gotcha.

10:52 am

HarryHood

it's kind of ridiculous.

10:52 am

penquis

Entry into Canada: Canadian law requires that all persons entering Canada carry proof of citizenship and identity. A valid U.S. passport, passport card, or NEXUS card satisfies these requirements for U.S. citizens. Children under 16 only need proof of U.S. citizenship.

10:52 am

origami

Wow. I got mine in 2020 and it only took about a month.

10:53 am

HarryHood

that sounds like a birth certificate is OK for my 15 YO.

10:53 am

phaeton

you can get a Nexus card for Canada that takes less time than a passport and is much cheaper

10:53 am

hokie carla

that's how I read it too

10:53 am

HarryHood

I never heard of a nexus card

10:53 am

penquis

original birth certificates are required....has to have the embossed town/city thing...

10:53 am

hokie carla

me either

10:53 am

penquis

me either...

10:53 am

HarryHood

the post office guy said no to birth certificate

10:54 am

HarryHood

maybe we'll just skip canada.

10:54 am

phaeton

https://ttp.cbp.dhs.gov/

10:54 am

penquis

U.S. citizen minors under 16 need only present evidence of citizenship to travel to Canada. The child's birth certificate should suffice. Also, you need ..

10:54 am

HarryHood

says 12-14 MONTHS to process nexus

10:55 am

hokie carla

wow

10:55 am

phaeton

wow...they must have gotten just as busy as the passports, cuz it used to be like 2 weeks

10:56 am

phaeton

anyone have the te7/8?

10:56 am

penquis

well several sites said that a passport is not required for kids under 16....but i would have an original or certified copy of a birth certificate...

10:56 am

hokie carla

those canadian border people are hardasses too. we were drilled at the airport in 2019 about what we were doing there. um, vacationing in your beautiful country.

10:56 am

HarryHood

just got it phae

10:56 am

penquis

this all assumes that the child is traveling with a parent...

10:57 am

hokie carla

I don't phae. missing 2 t's from each, do you know which T?

10:57 am

HarryHood

ends in *** to a grecian urn

2:34 pm

hokie carla

well I can tell you what the or7 is not even though I think it should be

2:35 pm

2:58 pm

periwinkle

te8 please

2:59 pm

hurshy

use -er for one syllable : brave, braver
use more for multisyllable: excited, more excited
(is the traditional rule)

2:59 pm

hokie carla

pl of te7 - starts like russian video game from the 80s, ends like joyful poems

2:59 pm

hurshy

but if the second syllable is -y, you can still use -er, like happier

2:59 pm

hokie carla

thank you, hurshy

3:00 pm

3:31 pm

So far, only into the Carolinas.

3:32 pm

3:45 pm

harpjane

of course got the T words as soon as I asked!

3:45 pm

hokie carla

it was fine, nelleon, I eventually got it. it's just one of those clues that is simple when you have the word, so once you get the word it all makes sense.

3:49 pm

BzznBea

andyou have to know your audience.

3:49 pm

BzznBea

i clue differently depending on who has asked for the clue.

movement of jah people

4:23 pm

hokie carla

I have the stupid n pair

4:23 pm

moolingwa

4:24 pm

4:27 pm

hokie carla

I know I got a sample when I moved into my dorm in 1991 but am drawing a blank on the name

4:27 pm

moolingwa

it's not spelled the same, but similar sounding

4:27 pm

allyall

i thought i'd tried that.

4:27 pm

moolingwa

it's very literal, the brand name

4:30 pm

hokie carla

I know, I just can't think of it. and I recently talked about it with one of my boys because I was asking if they still made it.

4:31 pm

And the fires on the West Coast continue also.

9:54 pm

dcseain

Yeah, it's Benn really bad in NY, joansie

9:55 pm

10:00 pm

dcseain

I saw two different guys walking in the haze this AM with their dogs, no masks. Idiots.

10:01 pm

joansiebone

yesterday we didn't leave our hotel room

10:02 pm

Nef

10:02 pm

dcseain

I've not been outside since Tuesday night.

10:02 pm

dcseain

joansiebone

10:13 pm

dcseain

I'll give it a go in the near future.

10:13 pm

Nef

10:14 pm

joansiebone
