Can you untwist 667024269? I tried several different combinations to no avail. |

Yes, but don't forget you read The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire -- a much bigger feat than winning at Twister. Like I said earlier, I barely got through the first chapter. |

I think you may be right. I would have asked him in a minute for help. Instead I did gain a lot of confidence. BTW, when Richard was here one day, he thought one of my games was lost, and I persevered and won it. |

Ken, i think they will Show here the England match, but i hope the USA will make it and England is going home. Who will be the 2. in this group is not of interest.
BTW my neighbor is at time in the southwest of the USA. |

Mike, ok not Brutus himself, but He and longinus (?) were the chiefs of the 50 to 60 men who wanted Cesars death (23 knife...). |

I thought it was a group of men including Brutus, Cassius, etc. who killed Ceaser on the steps of the Roman Forum? At least that's what Shakespeare said and history too. |

I looked up Seil Bridge and came across a site that showed besides other things "The Atlantic Bridge". Is that the bridge you mentioned? I assume you've been there. |

Yes to both questions. The "Bridge Across The Atlantic". Technically it does cross that ocean. We can say we've driven across the Atlantic. About 100 yards away is the "Tigh an Truish Inn". Something else worth Googling. And yes, we've been there too. |

Do you live in the part of California where the weather is more moderate, Mike? Here in the Midwest we get freezing winters and hot summers. I think you should visit us, Richard. You're the only one I know who could probably reduce our president to tears. |

I've only been on a plane twice Ken. A friend and myself flew from Aberdeen to Hull. He flies all over the world and his job in North Sea Oil means he's frequently on helicopters too. When we landed at Hull he remarked at how scary the flight had been with all the loud bangs etc. I'd just thought that that was quite normal. |

Richard, I know I keep mentioning our President, but a more ineffectual one I haven't seen in a long while. He is also a hypocrite, etc. I could go on and on, but I'll just get madder. I respect his office but not the man.
P.S. Was suspenders the right answer? |

Twister 1174282007 is a tough one. I don't think it's winnable because Kings are covering Aces, but I thought I'd see if there's a chance it could be won. |

It's not to risque. Seems Ken can't figure out his own joke. Remember Kathy it's about waiting. That's how you keep the critter in suspense. Oh heck. Someone else explain it.
We are now in Arroyo Grande, California. Right next to Pismo Beach. Where you can dig for your own personal clams. Strange. It's just as chilly here. |
