StolidiaAug 11 2006, 07:26 AM The government of Stolidia would be happy to welcome the distinguished Foreign Minister. Our President, Mr. Robert Smith, has stated he'd be glad to meet with the Foreign Minister. He doesn't have much to do until he has to preside at the opening of the quarter-finals of the semi-annual National Checkers Tournament next month.

In Switzerland it is customary for parks to have HUGE person sized chess / checkboards along with free pieces. People will go to the parks and play each other ... chess or checkers.
I have some photos of this, but I won't be able to dig one out til later.
But this would actually make a fascinating NSWiki national sport / gaming article.
Me, I was working the California State Fair today, and after my shift was over ... I managed to get some pictures of:
- goats,
- a barn owl,
- a milliped, &
- a beaver.
Naturally three of the four critters will be incorporated into Mikitivity's Ecology. I've already got plenty of burrowing owl material, so I thinking that Dom (also an owl lover) might need the barn owl pic. The beaver was HUGE ... the owl was big, but only weighed 1.5 lbs! And he was the size of an adult cat!!!
