Yes, that is Fluffy. My son brought him home from the fair about four years ago.

Fluffy! :birgits_giggle: I had a science teacher in middle school that had quite a few animals in the classroom (birds, guinnea pigs, rabbits, etc.) and during the breaks she let students take them home. I took a rabbit home once, fun stuff!

I don't know if I ever posted this one .... I'm putting a presentation together this afternoon and this was in the final slide of an old one I am pulling some stuff from....it's from a research trip I took to Norway a year ago or so...my wife and I sneaked away for a few days to check out the fjords/glaciers....

I would have soiled myself. Heights are not my thing. I would really like to see scenery like that, just not quite so close to the edge of that cliff.

It wasn't *so* bad...there was an immediate 15 ft or so drop...then a slope ....then a much bigger drop....actually looking down was easier than looking straight out...the scale made me a bit dizzy when I looked straight across the fjord knowing I was standing on a bit of a cliff....

...the scenery was beautiful, though...

I would still have suffered from the "pucker factor".:)

Thanks. Something that was pretty wild was the scale of the fjords/mountains...for example, notice the waterfalls coming down the sides of them. There would actually be hydroelectric plants sitting up on the side of the fjords/mountains along the waterfall (that flows almost all spring and summer from snow/ice melt) that looked about the size of a dime or so....unfortunately this picture doesn't have any...this is a protected fjord/waterway...that brought out the "wow" from the engineer in me.

That's actually a plave we've talked about visiting someday. If I can get over my fear of flying, that is. Yeah, I'm a chicken so what?
