Caledonians Dance Undanted Despite 600 ft. Plummet

Sunday's Radio Riel dance was located at Miss Kiralette Kelley's roller rink located some 600 ft. above Kittiwickshire. All was going as planned at this perfect location for such festivities when suddenly, the floor simply vanished and many Caledonians plummeted to their deaths--oh wait, this is Second Life, nobody died after all, though it was quite amazing to see most of my fellow dancers falling from the skies. Attempts where made to repair the roller rink, but in the end, dancing continued among Miss Kiralette's petunias. Much fun was had by all!!



My Home Under Mount Caledon; Inspired by Port Gamble, Washington

My little Victorian Home, located in Second Life's Caledon on Sea, sits high against Mt. Caledon. When I first saw the parcel my home sits upon, I was in love with Mt. Caledon. The challenge was in how to place a home on the parcel without doing anything to the mountain. The answer presented itself when, in RL, I was driving through Port Gamble, Washington and saw the Victorian homes all sitting along a hill with tall foundations and long staircases leading up to the homes--it was the perfect solution. Now, not only does my home fit nicely without my having had to change the mountain, I have breath taking views. And if you stop by, be sure to check out the family of ducks which have moved into the pond behind the house--very cute!!
