The true story is really amazing and this gives you just a glimpse.

The Great Escape tunnel; (A piece of history worth saving)

Hard to believe this was possible, but it was done!

I guess everyone has seen The Great Escape at least once. This is about the
tunnel.

It is awesome! The interactive map is also creative, not nearly as much as
the fortitude it took to engineer the escape itself. The animation alone is
worth looking at ... but the story of the tunnel is amazing. This was the
inspiration for the movie in the 60's, starring Steve McQueen, James Garner,
and others. This is a fascinating look at a tunnel that was built in a
German POW camp. The tunnel allowed 76 Allied POWs to escape.

This bear is made from Pine Needles!

A couple of hundred thousand of them in one large bear.

The pine needles were gathered off the ground, sorted, washed, trimmed and hand woven.

Over 8 months in making the life size bear.

Pete, thought these were cute for your best emails.

Turn on your speaker and watch/listen to this.

It is an amazing lesson on perception...

Mosquito Spray...Worth a try

I was at a deck party awhile back, and the bugs were having a ball biting everyone. A man at the party sprayed the lawn and deck floor with Listerine, and the little demons disappeared. The next year I filled a 4-ounce spray bottle and used it around my seat whenever I saw mosquitoes. And voila! That worked as well. It worked at a picnic where we sprayed the area around the food table, the children's swing area, and the standing water nearby. During the summer, I don't leave home without it.....Pass it on.

OUR FRIEND'S COMMENTS: I tried this on my deck and around all of my doors. It works - in fact, it killed them instantly. I bought my bottle from Target and it cost me $1.89. It really doesn't take much, and it is a big bottle, too; so it is not as expensive to use as the can of Bug-spray you buy that doesn't last 30 minutes. So, try this, please. It will last a couple of days. Don't spray directly on a wood door (like your front door), but spray around the frame. Spray around the window frames, and even inside the dog house.
