6:55 am

crosshair

Webhave a thing here. At the C.N Tower, you can go up to the top. They bring you outside, put a rope harness on you, and you can literally lean out over the edge and gaze at the tiny people and cars below you.

6:56 am

FrenchToast

oh HELL NO

6:56 am

FrenchToast

What is the C.N. Tower

6:57 am

Better if you just google it. At one time it held the fistinction of being the tallest free standing structure in the world.

6:57 am

That sounds crazy

6:58 am

It has a restaraunt 3/4 of the way up that slowly rotates as you eat.

Oh I have experienced that rotating restaurant in Atlanta. I didn't like it.

6:59 am

If you take the second elevator up yo the "space deck" your ears will pop from pressure difference.

6:59 am

FrenchToast

I googled CN Tower, that is a beautiful structure!

7:00 am

FrenchToast

I guess it is similar to the Space Needle in Seattle.

7:01 am

crosshair

My father worked for C.N during the time it was built. He was offered the chance to be one of the first ten people to go up to the top, but he refused because he was afraid of heights.

Hi all. Can you tell me, is the SA7 a 'normal' word?

8:53 am

phaeton

haven't found it yet.

8:55 am

montreal13

SA6/7 not "normal" to me - they start with tree fluid

8:55 am

ChampFit

We've had it before.

8:56 am

ChampFit

Not that I know the meaning or anything...

8:59 am

phaeton

fw...any clues wanted?

8:59 am

montreal13

1st pass done - fairly easy grid - bbl for last 23 - have a great day all

8:59 am

ChampFit

wtg phae! hagd montreal!

8:59 am

phaeton

bye mont

9:00 am

montreal13

bye champ, phae - "po4"

9:00 am

phaeton

sa6/7 is a Mexican tree

9:00 am

ChampFit

thx for that.

9:02 am

hokie carla

does the 6 come from top and the 7 from the bottom?

9:02 am

phaeton

I think so...can't remember

9:02 am

ChampFit

Doesn't have to. You can get both from the bottom.

9:03 am

hokie carla

finally got it. both are from top.

9:03 am

hokie carla

I still need one on bottom so thought it might be that

9:03 am

ChampFit

It can go either way I think.

9:03 am

hokie carla

well, even if it can, it technically comes from the first one top to bottom, left to right.

9:06 am

hokie carla

so I thought the plural was going to start at low one and end at upper only, which was how I was looking. overthinking.

9:07 am

ChampFit

When in reality, you have 2 eses so just type it and don't worry where it came from. ;)

9:23 am

hokie carla

true, but it would limit which letters I use if it came from the bottom because it would have to be one of the ones touching the upper S

9:31 am

dauber
