Never miss an opportunity to show the loves of my life.
first picture is of 5 of my cats: Sammi, Kati, Maggie, Mindy, Pepper
second: The three cats we got at 3 weeks old, left in a backyard of one of my
wife's students. Adopted out two and kept one.
third: Chelsea who died 15 years ago at 18 years, I still miss her and cry.
She wondered why the monorail fell when she bopped it.
fourth: How did she get up there. We adopted this one from the Humane Society
because she know how to get out of the cage all by herself. Lifted the latch
and was free.
fifth: Kati, Maggie, Sammi looking at out outdoor only cats
sixth: Mindi, the one of the three we kept
seventh: Cinderella, I wanted to keep her but a little old lady fell in love
with her at first sight so we let her go.
eight: Pepper, got her from a parts warehouse and she was covered in grease.
Adopted her out and the couple didn't want her after about 2 months so we
took her back in. She amazed me that she would take any paper she could find
and put it in the bottom of one of our chairs, hording it for when she might
be hungry. That really touched my heart.
Love each and everyone of these cats, they have brought so much joy to our lives.
A few more to follow.

Here are just two of my six (three dogs - GSD, Newfoundland and Golden Retriever,
three cats - tabby and shorthair black & white). They all get along brilliantly.

I guess, like a lot of things, it is all a lot easier than it used to be in the
"old days". Drones allow you to get instant aerial views of projects on this
scale, and as Yorbrick says GPS combined with aerial mapping mean modern farming
has been revolutionised allowing sowing and harvesting to all be plotted in advance.
I guess you just transfer these skills to a more artistic outcome.
Bloody impressive though.

They do them every year on a different subject. They've done Harry Potter,
a Dalek, Jurassic Park, etc in the past.
There is a small airfield near by and sometimes gliders or microlites fly over.
Another popular way of looking at them (and the rest of York) is taking a hot
air balloon trip.

The fact that the head of marketing for UK and Ireland has commented on it i'm
guessing they're ok with it! I wonder if LEGO were contacted beforehand?

| We were in a small maze at Eastnor Castle yesterday and the day before we visited
Puzzlewood in Gloucestershire.
The walk is amazing in Puzzlewood, it’s like a maze but it’s not on the flat,
certainly not for those unsteady on their feet,their tiny so called maze isn’t
really a maze.

| | I would like to get some opinions about a brick convention that is coming to
Maine this spring. It is called BrickUniverse LEGO Fan Festival. Apparently
it is a travelling show. I've wanted to attend such a gathering but I'm
a little leery about it.
First ,from what I can see, it is primarily LEGO MOC displays and some vendors.
No talks or workshops that I can tell.
Second, it is $15 per person over the age of 2. So for my family it would cost
$45. That seems quite high for just seeing some displays. And the $45 is only
for a 2.5 or 3 hour block of time, not an all day admission.
Third, vendors are charged $450 per table with a two-table minimum. So to make
that up in sales, they will bring primarily the high-end items and more than
likely charge much more than what I could buy for here on BL. For me personally,
that's not what I'm looking for.
I'm drawing my comparisons to stamp shows. I collected stamps for decades
and went to many shows. They were almost always free, or just a small nominal
charge and no time limit. The MOCs are comparable to the stamp exhibitions and
the stamp dealers to the vendors.
Has anyone heard of/gone to this BrickUniverse? What was your experience? Worth
doing? My instincts say no. I would like to attend a convention at some point
- Boston is the closest major city to me - about 4+ hours away. Is there a convention
worth travelling to?

BrickUniverse is a LEGO Fan Festival, and it is a traveling show. However, since
it lacks the talks and workshops, it's not really a convention. Nothing
personal against the BrickUniverse organizers, but in today's LEGO-crazed
America, it's basically a cash grab. That doesn't mean you wouldn't
enjoy it though.
Unfortunately I don't know of any conventions in or close to Maine. There
are definitely quality AFOL conventions out there though, if you are willing
to travel.
