Fun Flights?
Check out Kulula Airlines.
They are a low-cost South-African airline
that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Some of the announcements are as follows in flight...
Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."
-o0o-
Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of Kulula Airways."
Sunwave packed...
Silverbacks into camp this week

Pot plot bears all?
A Kootney Pot bust and RCMP found 14 tame black bears.
Allot of news on the fate of the bears.
Now we hear of the pot that was seized.
A decoy was planted in town, cops rushed to it
and while they were gone someone broke into a container
and stole some of the pot and other evidence.
Police made more arrests...
But the question...
how to keep police pot safe...
Maybe get 14 bears to guard it ?

Undo G-Mail?
Caught this on cnn.com - how to unsend that email...
It's a little known feature of Google's e-mail
And a user has 30 seconds to take back a message.
Find the details in the Google Labs section.
To enable 'Undo Send':
1. Log in to Gmail and go to Google Labs. If you've never gone to Labs before, click the word "more" in the very top left corner, then scroll down and click "even more."
2. In the column on the right, click "Labs." It's next to the icon of a beaker filled with green stuff.

Congrats to Roots & Blues!
Another great festival of food, fashion and fun.
Over 33,291 people went thru the new gates
over the 3 day event.
Lot's of debate over the acts...
The Boogie Barn was the big hit
with people trying to get into the fun on all three days.
Obviously the crowd was looking for some 5 Alarm Funk
and Wassabi Collective to name a couple of the performers there.
What did you like from the festival?
