Tuesday news…..

Looking around the island….

• Yesterday, Val & Neil Curtis (and brother Cole!) welcomed Kate into the world. Sounds like everybody’s doing great! Wahoo!

Mona in action...photos by Felicity Milne

• Over the weekend, Felicity (she of the awesome cakes & Thanksgiving pies) caught Mona the Camel doing some construction work (or maybe destruction work) over at her place off Roche Harbor Road, where she habitually slows up traffic on both sides of the road..

Felicity caught the whole thing on film, as you can see.

You’ve seen Mona, of course, out with her white alpaca friend Lisa (Mona & Lisa – the two names go together, eh?), but this is one job she did all by herself.

Mona in action, part two....

That was cool, but that’s not all that is available on the web for Mona-watchers. Here is a fan vid called “How To Feed  A Camel,” which she stars in (it’s great fun), by Lilylulay & her friend:

Paul Chadwick

• It was cool to see Paul Chadwick’s interview on Guerrilla Geek – the island’s master cartoonist developed the internationally-known Concrete, as well as done work on The Matrix Online, and other cool projects. Read it – you’ll like it. (Way to go, Paul!)

• Linda & Maureen are watching the progress of the bill in Congress that would make genetically modified salmon get OK’d by the FDA…and be classified as a drug.

Weirdness…check their website for more info, and what to do to act.

Stacey and Cake Junkies (that's Curious George on the cake!)

• Have you been by Surina Business Park lately to see what Stacey‘s been up to? Besides making cakes, she has a retail spot at Cake Junkies with gluten-free Fridays, soup, and brownies & all kinds of treats, as well as the creativity to make the cake you’re looking for. Stop in and say hey!

Here’s more on her Facebook page!

Get a little TLC (Travel Light Cycles) with Mikial....

• Speaking of Surina Business Park, while you’re over there say hey to Mikial Denker (his name is pronounced like “McKyle”) and his place, Travel Light Cycles. He repairs bikes & sells ’em, and has a nice collection for you to pick through – great holiday present. He opened up last month & is off to a great start – check him out!

That's Gerard & Karen at work, filming the weekend's children's show at the Communiy Theatre. They've been doing this for years as Elan Video (elanvideo.net) & creating memories all that time.
