Cohen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 975 From: Forest Hills, NY, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 06-08-2003 03:03 PM                     So, Rachel, Are you really leaving us? It's going to be lonesome up here at the lighthouse with you gone. But we'll keep the light on for you. Y'all come back now for visits, won't you? Or can you take us with you? ---The Gloucester Lighthouse Crew.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-08-2003 03:19 PM                     Actually there are many neato light houses along the lake Michigan coast line all the way up to Door County!! Rachel should feel right at home. Mark  |  IP: Logged Don Bruechert Mmmmmmmmm, bird!

I am kind of into lighthouses. I have photographed several and have a bit of the decor around the house.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 06-09-2003 02:18 AM                        quote: but we do have my cat for a 20 hour ride...MEOoOoOoOoOoOoOW! 20 hours is a long time for a cat in a car. The last time I transported a cat this way, which was admittedly only a five-hour trip, the advice from the vet was as follows. Firstly put very thick layers of newspaper only in the basket, so that if he 'relieves himself' the top layer(s) can easily be removed and thrown away. Secondly, provide plentiful supplies of water but no food during the journey. Thirdly, when you get to your destination keep the cat indoors for at least 48 hours, longer if he still seems agitated. If you let him out immediately, he will simply try and get home again. This was precisely what happened when my mother moved a couple of years ago, just half a mile across town. About a week after the move, the cat went AWOL. After much searching and calling, she concluded that he must have had a road accident (the new house was just off a busy town-centre street). Soon afterwards the new owners of the place Mother had moved out of 'phoned her... Fergie had turned up in the back garden. Over the sort of distance you'd need to drive 20 hours to cover I don't think there's much danger of that, though. However, the 'no food' rule is not the advice given on pet transport in this website...  |  IP: Logged Per Hauberg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 883 From: Malling, Denmark Registered: Jul 2000 posted 06-09-2003 05:14 AM                        Beware of special rules for the transportation of laying hens. They may not sit at the wheel...!  |  IP: Logged Don Bruechert Mmmmmmmmm, bird! Posts: 340 From: Manitowoc, WI, USA Registered: Jan 2003 posted 06-09-2003 08:38 AM                        Thanks for the cat advice. I didn't think of the layering of newspaper. Rachel is getting some "Happy Pills" for the cat which will hopefully ease her trauma on the way over. If there's any laying going on I'm sure it will be in the back seat - well away from the steering wheel.  |  IP: Logged Per Hauberg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 883 From: Malling, Denmark Registered: Jul 2000 posted 06-09-2003 03:22 PM                        Well - I've only been the owner of one american auto once - a Mustang with absolutely no space for fooling around in the back !  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 06-09-2003 04:56 PM                     Yeah, my Ford Focus is a little squishy in the rear but the front is pretty roomy!

Cohen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 975 From: Forest Hills, NY, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 06-10-2003 10:27 PM                     MANITOWOC Here's your new light "beaconing" you home to Manitowoc (Indian word meaning "You buy ice-machine".) The river empties into Lake Michigan, where in winter the Michiganas freeze their butts while ice fishing.  |  IP: Logged Don Bruechert Mmmmmmmmm, bird! Posts: 340 From: Manitowoc, WI, USA Registered: Jan 2003 posted 06-11-2003 12:14 AM                        Just a bit of history on Manitowoc, If anyone gives a rip.... The name Manitowoc is based on the Indian word "Manitou" which they use to refer to their spirit. It actually means, loosely translated, "The Place Where the Spirits Walk". Manitowoc is the home of the well known Manitowoc Ice Machines, and the world famous Manitowoc Cranes. It is also currently the home of Mirro brand cookware, but that will be changing soon as the company is moving its operations to a more wetback friendly area. Manitowoc Shipbuilding was a provider of submarines for World War II, one of which is docked in the river adjacent to the Wisconsin Maritime Museum, and is available for tours. Manitowoc also used to be the home of Kelvinator Commercial Products, who produced the Kelvinator line of refrigeration equipment. Kelvinator is one of the White Consolidated Industries which also manufactures other products such as Hotpoint and Gibson. The original home of Kingsbury beer (no one probably ever heard of it) was Manitowoc before G. Heileman Brewing bought it and moved it to LaCrosse - Kingsbury was still a local favorite until they stopped producing it a few years ago. Some of you old-timers might even remember Rahr's beer, which was made in Manitowoc by the Rahr Malting Company. Manitowoc is currently the Western port of a carferry that crosses Lake Michigan between Manitowoc, WI and Ludington, MI, and we still produce some malt components for Anheuser Busch Company. I can't think of anything else we're known for at this moment in time, but I thought you might enjoy a bit of the history of the place where Rachel is Moving to.  |  IP: Logged John Scott Master Film Handler Posts: 252 From: Oakdale, MN, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 06-11-2003 12:24 AM                     Don't forget about Metalware Corp next door in Two Rivers, home of the Nesco Roasters and slow cookers, American Harvest Dehydrators, and Open Country campware.  |  IP: Logged Per Hauberg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 883 From: Malling, Denmark Registered: Jul 2000 posted 06-11-2003 04:27 AM                        Nice lighttower, -but shouldn't someone put in a cute little beaver in one of the corners ?  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 06-12-2003 01:16 AM                        Rachel used to be my bestestestestestestest friend but now shes leaving me Oh well I know that she will be very happy Don is a hell of a good guy (of course he is hes a film-tech member!)  |  IP: Logged Don Bruechert Mmmmmmmmm, bird!
