What's out your window?

[sherryl199]

Since we are such a geographically mixed group, it might be fun to add a photo of what we see when we look out our windows while playing MM. Any interest? Might be interesting for new players, too. I, for one, am intrigued by what brell sees in Husavik!

[brell]

Hehe. When I play MM I am located in a room in the basement of my house and do not have a good view though the window. Believe it or not: My camera is not working so I cannot put a picture here for the moment. Hmm.... computer, camera, and my TV seems to be getting old these days.

Here in Iceland we have an

official

first day of winter the last Saturday of October, so yesterday was the first day of winter in Iceland. And lo and behold! We got the biggest low so far this autumn. Wind speed up to 40 m/s with blizzard more or less all over the country. The road to th nearest town, Akureyri, has been closed now since Friday. The harbour here in Husavik was damaged by big ocean waves. The temperature has been fluctuating around 0 °C

My view: The street on the front with about 30 cm of snow. At the back I have a view of my backyard with birch and gran trees. And behind that a primary school playground. The time is now 17:07 and it is slowly getting dark.

A picture will surely follow later 8-)

Hi brell -

Read this and weep! I am about 150' from the Atlantic Ocean, it is 4:00 PM, the temperature is 23 C, 74 F, the sky is blue, and it is a beautiful afternoon. Photo to follow when I find my camera. Please do send a photo - when you leave the basement.

P.S. My husband says that Iceland is supposed to have the most beautiful women in the world.

[brell]

Hehe. Yes, of course. And the biggest bank crisis 8-)

We can sympathize with that, Brell.

I do not open the drapes in the computer room because there's nothing front or side but other houses. My camera is at hand but will pass on sending a picture since the scenery is not choice.

Sherry, I envy your view......

Well, as I live in a concrete jungle, with houses all around, I too keep my curtains semi - closed.  My computer room is on the 2nd flr.  I have my huge flat screen TV in the middle of the window, so that the people across the street cannot see me.  My desk is to the right of it.  That way I can see the TV while a play MM and do my paper work.

My view is of two 3 story semi-detached victorian houses.  Houses all around. No real view to speak of.

BTW:  I hate winters in Toronto....very damp and very cold.  Last year, we in the city had so much snow and no where to put it.  What a mess!

So......Question to all of you....who do you think will win the Presidential USA election?  And why?
