A new branch of our bank opened right across the street from our subdivision - just opened on Wed. so I had to go transfer our safe deposit box to that branch, we were previously at one about 5 or 6 miles away.  Then I went to the grocery store to get all the stuff for the dinner party.  The butcher only had shrimp with the tails on, but she showed me how to pop them off, so I have de-tailed about 400 shrimp today.  I was going to make lobster bisque, along with the shrimp and scallop lasagna and crab legs, but when I was at King Soopers, I saw they had lobster tails for 4.99 each, so thought that would be a better way to go.  I told the lady that I wanted 20 and she said &quot;oh no, there is a limit of 4 at that price, it says so right on the sign&quot;.  I was looking right at the sign, and there was nothing there about any limit...she came around and looked at the sign and said &quot;well, it is supposed to be there&quot;.  She finally determined that she would let me have them at that price since it wasn&#39;t on the sign, but she did take the sign down to write &quot;limit 4&quot; on it.  I made the lasgana and baked the cake and cupcakes, worked on Greg&#39;s scrapbook...I keep thinking I am finished and then I get more letters, via email.  Then I cooked dinner and cleaned that mess up and right now, I am sitting here with my feet up while Greg is outside washing the vehicles.  I will try to get caught up on the back posts on Sunday...no big plans for Mother&#39;s Day - I told the boys that as they will be here tomorrow night, there really is no reason for them to drive back up here on Sunday.

The recommendation includes people who already have had shingles.<br /><br />The CDC&#39;s advice comes almost two years after a provisional recommendation by the agency prompted a lengthy peer review process. It may mean that more physicians will now give the vaccine and more private insurers will cover its cost, said CDC spokesman Curtis Allen. The vaccine is already covered by Medicare Part D, according to the CDC.<br /><br />Shingles, which usually surfaces as a rash on one side of the face or body, is caused by varicella zoster, the same virus responsible for chickenpox.<br /><br />After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus stays in the body and can reappear as shingles later in life, causing severe pain that may last for weeks, months or even years. Starting an antiviral drug within 72 hours of onset can reduce the pain and length of the outbreak. &quot;<br /><br />It was painless but expensive.

At least we are supposed to get a break from the rain today.   <br /><br />Joey - BON VOYAGE - have a great cruise and enjoy all those great ports.  We&#39;ll miss you around here.<br /><br />Cheryl - hope your party was a great success and you had time to relax and enjoy it.   How was the lasagna?

It&#39;s so great that you can check in here along the way.<br /><br />Falina - hope you are feeling better today.   That bug you picked up seems to be holding on for quite some time.<br /><br />Jenn - have a fun day with DS &amp; DD.<br /><br />Rose - how nice of Cynthia to work for a Mom today.    That is such a kind gesture.  She sounds like quite a special young lady.<br /><br />Martha - get much sleep last night with Ashley &amp; Aubrey around?   I bet not but so much fun.<br /><br />Andrea - hope things are quieting down for you.<br /><br />Deb - how is Sabrina today?<br /><br />Shari - hope your kitty is improving also.<br /><br />Time to make a pot of tea and get cleaned up.

Zack got me these 2 wines that I&#39;ve never seen before. One is Montsant - 40% Mazuelo, 40% Syrah and 20% Garnacha. THe other is Crianza. He just goes into this specialty supermarket and tells the wine guy what types of wine I like and asks him what he would recommend. He has never steered him wrong.','deb1220','deb1220','2009-05-11 01:45:37',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(364624,2611,1,18,362611,'2009-05-11 02:16:35',NULL,'','Hi all...the party was a huge sucess and everyone raved about the food...even got a few offers to cater events, but of course, I politely declined.  I will post the recipe for the seafood lasagna once I type it out...it was a Paula Deen recipe, but naturally, I had to modify it as I thought it needed some additions.  It was supposed to be made with a white cream sauce, but I thought it would be better made with an alfredo sauce so did it that way and also threw in sauteed onions and celery.  <br /><br />The plan for today was to go to church then Greg was going to cook for me and I was going to chill on the deck.  Yesterday we went and bought all the flowers for me to plant and I was going to try and get those in today also.  Anyway, I woke up so stiff and sore this morning from being on my feet all day yesterday, so I couldn&#39;t get moving enough to make it to church.  About 11:00, Greg came in from outside and said that it was raining pretty hard, so he wasn&#39;t sure he was going to be able to grill the steaks.  He wanted to know if I felt like going up to Black Hawk, which is one of the 3 gambling towns here in Colorado.  I got ready and we went up and ate lunch at one of the casino&#39;s and then played the slots for a while.  No big wins, but I did come out with &#036;32.50 more than I went in with.<br /><br />On the way home, we stopped by our favorite furniture store and bought a new leather sofa with recliners.  We had bought a new sofa last year - it is enduro suede - and every since we bought it, we kept saying that we wished we had stuck with leather, which is what the previous one was.  The new one should be here in about 3 weeks.<br /><br />Now Greg is laying in his recliner, snoring away and I am sitting here with my feet up and watching the news.  Hope all you mom&#39;s are having a wonderful, relaxing day too&#33;&#33;&#33;','Gregswife','Gregswife','2009-05-11 02:16:35',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(364625,4504,1,18,362611,'2009-05-11 02:20:03',NULL,'','Just found this and thought I would share it:<br /><br />Last updated May 10, 2009 11:19 a.m. PT<br /><br />Swine flu suspected for cruise ship crewman<br />THE ASSOCIATED PRESS<br /><br />ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Federal health officials say a crew member aboard a cruise ship currently traveling in Alaska waters is recovering from a probably infection of swine flu.<br /><br />Alaska Department of Health and Social Services officials on Sunday said they were informed of the case by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<br /><br />Testing was performed at the Washington State Public Health Laboratory since the crew member became ill while the Serenade of the Seas, a Royal Caribbean ship, was in the Washington area.<br /><br />The crew member&#39;s illness began on May 2.

Other than my normal household chores and running on the treadmill, I plan to relax this afternoon.  I didn&#39;t get my &quot;deck time with a book&quot; on Sunday so I plan to do that today.  I got the flower beds all planted yesterday - I was supposed to leave one for Scotty but the flowers I had bought were starting to look a bit sad and needed to be planted so Grandpa said he could do the 2 big pots on the deck and we would wait until he is here and take him to buy the flowers and he can pick them all out.   Gregory&#39;s dog, Mugsy, gave birth to her first litter of pups last night into this morning.  She is a miniature Boston terrier and they bred her with a friend&#39;s dog, which is also a miniature Boston.  She had 7 pups.  Darcey said she started trying to have them about 9:00 last night and after a couple of hrs., they took her to the vet because she hadn&#39;t delivered any yet  The dr. gave her some pitosin (Sp?) and said she should be fine.  Soon after they got back home, she had the first one and delivered the others over the next few hours. I do hope they get her fixed now...they wanted her to have one litter - they are keeping one and the father&#39;s owner wants one and they have people who are already wanting to buy all the others.  Gregory is so crazy about Mugsy that I think he will not want her to have anymore since she had a hard time.

Try and stop by here when you can.<br /><br />Deb - glad you enjoyed your Pub night.  <br /><br />Cheryl - enjoy your quiet weekend with Greg.<br /><br />Jenn - By any chance did you get to see Joey when he was in BC?<br /><br />Kevin - Sharon sounds like a real handy wife.    I&#39;m real good at buying shelves - making them - not too good.   lol<br /><br />Rose - glad you were able to help Adam get started on the road to home ownership.     I&#39;m amazed that you can tackle installing ceiling fans.   Good for you.     <br /><br />Carmen - hope all works out well with the new Attorney at work.<br /><br />Guess I&#39;ll get my day started and begin to put away Jim&#39;s winter clothes.   Gosh - I hate this job but there really is no room for his summer things til the winter stuff is packed away and he definately will need his short sleeved shirts for work from now on.   Next week is the big cut in hours week at work.    Mon, Tues and Wed. full time an then the cuts start on Thursday morning.    He still hasn&#39;t decided whether he will stay on or not.

DH Jim and I come down to Easton quite often to the State Theatre and always enjoy an evening in town there.    I hope you will post often and get to know us here and give us a chance to get to know you.  We have 4 grandkids so I know how exhausting they can be but they sure can be fun also.  Two of them live right here in Nazareth (Ashleigh 6 and TJ 4) and the other 2 live in Ct. (Paige 8 &amp; Colin 6).<br /><br />Welcome back Joey - I hope you had a great cruise but we sure did miss you around here.     Can&#39;t wait to hear all about your trip.<br /><br />Cheryl - happy pedaling on your new bike.    After my recent try and riding Deb&#39;s bike I don&#39;t see myself doing anything like that again but I&#39;m sure you are in much better shape then I am.    I couldn&#39;t sit down for a week without pain after that little folly.<br /><br />Donna - I&#39;m so happy you make some money before the rain spoiled your yard sale.    It sounds like you have a real mess on your hands now after the boxes all got wet.    <br /><br />Jim - your talk about your dinner on Friday had me craving Mexican food all day so we went out for it last night.    Oh boy, was it good but I sure did pay for it most of the night.  <br /><br />Steve - I&#39;m sure Gramps will love the ball game.   Have fun at the game.   <br /><br />Jackie - now that I&#39;ve satisfied my craving for mexican food you have my mouth watering for blue crabs but I think my chances are very slim at finding them at the ball park this afternoon.   <br /><br />Jenn - Sorry you are having problems with the sleeping meds.    Hope you get it worked out soon.<br /><br />Kevin - Happy to see you back on the dock.  Hope your writers group went well.<br /><br />Falina -  hope you and Dennis have a good weekend before he heads back on the road.   How are you feeling by the way.<br /><br />Rose - good for you teaching Adam some of the basics of home repair.    I was raised in a home where you reached for the phone when something needed to be done and wish I could do a few simple things around here.<br /><br />Sue - good morning to you and Pappy<br /><br />Martha - must be busy at work.    Any more word about Lee&#39;s Dad?    Hope all else is well.<br /><br />James - How is the cruise room coming along?<br /><br />Carmen - hope you are enjoying your weekend.<br /><br />Deb - did you get all your camping things together.    I know you enjoy it but it just seems like so much work.<br /><br />Andrea - glad you can stop by once in a while but we sure do miss you around here.    Hope things are settling down for you.   <br /><br />I heard from Robert yesterday and he sends his best to everyone.

We will have to get there early and get in line if Ash &amp; TJ want their Iron Pigs baseball cap.   since Jim balked at moving furniture around for me again I&#39;m rearranging surface things and moving things around, just to mess with his head a bit.

James here to answer your request for some pics: of our cruise room. Well it&#39;s not what it once was&#33;  I think I told you that on returning home after our last cruise in March we found damage to two walls one of which was in the cruise room. This resulted in stripping the lovely beach mural entirely from  the damaged wall. After we did this,and fixed the damage, we decided to paint the wall instead of re-muraling it&#33; If we had long term intentions of staying here we might have put another mural up. However to cut a long story short. the walls were painted in a very pale yellow. The ship trinketts, models, pictures of ships etc etc were put away for when we move. The walls  now have small pictures of beach scenes as well as two lovely jig saws of ocean liners.

There are bike paths that run all over the place - they go under the roads so we never have to ride near traffic and we can go for at least 10 miles.  I made the mistake of trying to ride it for the first time, out in the street in front of the house.  After my &quot;visit&quot; with the neighbor&#39;s lawn, Greg suggested the back would probably be better.  We do have a gate from our back yard, right onto the path, so that was a much better idea.  I have picked out my new bike online so after church, we will go to Walmart to see if they have it.  It is a mountain bike, but is only &#036;89.

There are bike paths that run all over the place - they go under the roads so we never have to ride near traffic and we can go for at least 10 miles.  I made the mistake of trying to ride it for the first time, out in the street in front of the house.  After my &quot;visit&quot; with the neighbor&#39;s lawn, Greg suggested the back would probably be better.  We do have a gate from our back yard, right onto the path, so that was a much better idea.

I<br />did not mind the chilly temperatures at all ... I never even left the ship.  I was all toasty inside from <br />the warmth of my crew frieds.  Even though the Mariner is not my beloved Monarch, there were at<br />least fifty dining and bar staff from the Monarch on board, including the Food and Beverage Director<br />( who notified everyone in advance that I was coming ) and, the whole trip, crew members were<br />coming up to say hello to me.  Joey and I were really given VIP treatment throughout the seven<br />days, except for a little incident at the start of the trip - but that was dealt with by management in<br />a satisfactory manner.<br />   My favorite place on the Mariner is Vintages Wine Bar....and I especially like the wine flights - though, even there, you can see that RCI is cutting corners.  When I sailed on the Navigator TA in April 2008, the flights included four pours of wine, now there are only three.  Still, they are a good deal, and a nice<br />way to sample some excellent wines.  What I don&#39;t like is that most of the bars do not look out on the <br />ocean....for that reason, Ellington&#39;s and the Viking Crown were my favorites...great views from there.<br />   All in all, I much prefer the Radiance class ships of Royal Caribbean with their smaller size and glass<br />everywhere.  It&#39;s easier to get around to meet people ...  I don&#39;t need multiple neighborhoods.<br />   The bartenders were pleased with the poem I wrote....I even gave it to Captain Johnny.  I think I posted it here but, if I didn&#39;t, here it is:  <br /><br />BARS AT SEA<br /><br />Belly up to the bar, here we all are,<br />Hoisting a glass or two,<br />Vacationing cruisers, fun on our mind,<br />Friends made when the sea days are through.<br /><br />Sail away parties, steel band is playing,<br />Umbrella drinks served all around,<br />The scene is the same, all over the world,<br />Wherever cruise ships abound.<br /><br />Mornings start off with spiced bloody marys,<br />Or mimosa bubbles that tickle our nose,<br />And, next thing you know, the menu we&#39;ve sampled,<br />Grows and it grows and it grows.<br /><br />The captain is driving, so we are imbibing,<br />And tasting concoctions at sea,<br />You are never too far from a fabulous bar,<br />With bartenders superb as can be&#33;<br /><br />Sip incredible potions, on the world&#39;s oceans,<br />And escape from all of your woes,<br />From the best dry martini to a tasty bellini,<br />The crew love their work and it shows.<br /><br />To the final nightcap, as &quot;last call&quot; resounds,<br />Bars at sea hold a special appeal,<br />The combination of much that&#39;s hard to describe,<br />Gives this experience such a wonderful feel&#33;<br /><br />Carmen Henesy<br />rnsane@prodigy.net<br /><br />Copyright  2009 Carmen Henesy.

We had a great time at the ball game yesterday but it was really cold out there.    Going to a minor league game is so much more fun than a major leaguer.   They seems so much more family friendly and there is something in every single inning to keep the kids amused.   Ash &amp; TJ had  a ball and it was fun watching them.   Yesterday was cap day and the kids got free IronPigs caps so that actually saved Nannie &amp; Poppy a trip to the team store.   I&#39;m sure they will make up for it next time.   Due to a big mix-up by management we found out this last week that Ferrous (the IronPigs Mascot) would not be coming to TJ&#39;s b&#39;day party next month.   Naturally Deb raised h**l with them and they really made a fuss over TJ - even had he up in the big screen where he was adorable talking to the camera about the team until he looked up and saw himself on the screen.   Then he wouldn&#39;t say a word.    In the 8th inning Ferrous came up to TJ&#39;s seat and gave him a bag of birthday goodies.    So I guess all is forgiven.      <br /><br />Carmen (RNSANE)  Great to see you back here.   I&#39;m glad you had a good cruise and must agree with you about the Voyager class ships.   We have sailed Explorer quite a few times and also Voyager and as nice as they are I still prefer the openness and all the glass on the Radiance ships.     I don&#39;t like having to go outside to see the beautiful ocean.      Loved your poem and I&#39;m sure the crew also will enjoy it.<br />Good luck on your retirement - I know it is not what you wanted but I&#39;m sure you will keep busy.   Please visit with us whenever you can - we have missed you.<br /><br />Joey - great to have you back and glad you had a good trip also.    It sounds like you and David might be sailing again before November.     Just remember, as Rose said, once school is out those ships are full of kids.<br /><br />Hector - it&#39;s great to see you posting so quickly.    You will get to know everyone soon.    Any questions about any or us or things we talk about, just ask.     Do you work locally or are you commuting to NY each day.  I know a lot of folks up here do that.   <br /><br />Martha - How are things this morning?    Is Lee&#39;s Dad still in the hospital.    Hoping they have some answers for Lee about his problems on Wednesday.<br /><br />Cheryl - I know how you feel about sometimes looking forward to Mondays.    Wish I could have the place to myself today as Jim is off to work and this is his last 2 days of full time employment.   One Wednesday he cuts back to 2 1/2 hrs. a day and I&#39;m dreading it.    At any rate, today is Field Day for Ash and Michael has to be at school all day with her so I will have TJ all day today.   Hope it clears up enough for him to go out and play.  Glad you got to see the grandkids yesterday.   How are Scotty and Annabelle getting along?    Do they compete for your time when they are with you?<br /><br />Sue - hope you have a great day today.    When is your brother and his family coming?<br /><br />Jackie - I didn&#39;t realize you were going to be in La. for a whole month.   That is wonderful.    Where are you heading when you leave there?<br /><br />Falina - safe travels to Dennis this week.    When does the school year end for you?<br /><br />Andrea - hope you get to spend some time with us this week.<br /><br />Deb - Hope you had a good weekend and finished packing for your camping trip.<br /><br />Shari - any luck finding a cat sitter yet?<br /><br />Donna - I know around our parts if we put our garage sail leftovers out by the curb they will be gone overnight.    Are you ready for your cruise?<br /><br />James - it won&#39;t be long now til sail away.<br /><br />Jim - I hope you take a break from all your chores to enjoy your beautiful deck.<br /><br />Steve - I&#39;m sure this will be a hard week for you &amp; Lynda.    Sending prayers your way.<br /><br />Good morning to everyone else.   Really need to get moving and get a few things done before TJ arrives in about an hour.

We sent someone to the hospital yesterday with possible swine flu who had complications.  If you get flu symptoms, please see your doctor sooner rather than later and ask to be tested for the flu.  If you are seen within the first 48-72 hrs of becoming sick and test positive for flu A, you can be treated.  You cannot be treated if you wait longer than that.

We had a great time at the ball game yesterday but it was really cold out there.    Going to a minor league game is so much more fun than a major leaguer.   They seems so much more family friendly and there is something in every single inning to keep the kids amused.   Ash &amp; TJ had  a ball and it was fun watching them.   Yesterday was cap day and the kids got free IronPigs caps so that actually saved Nannie &amp; Poppy a trip to the team store.   I&#39;m sure they will make up for it next time.   Due to a big mix-up by management we found out this last week that Ferrous (the IronPigs Mascot) would not be coming to TJ&#39;s b&#39;day party next month.   Naturally Deb raised h**l with them and they really made a fuss over TJ - even had he up in the big screen where he was adorable talking to the camera about the team until he looked up and saw himself on the screen.   Then he wouldn&#39;t say a word.    In the 8th inning Ferrous came up to TJ&#39;s seat and gave him a bag of birthday goodies.    So I guess all is forgiven.      <br /><br />Carmen (RNSANE)  Great to see you back here.   I&#39;m glad you had a good cruise and must agree with you about the Voyager class ships.   We have sailed Explorer quite a few times and also Voyager and as nice as they are I still prefer the openness and all the glass on the Radiance ships.     I don&#39;t like having to go outside to see the beautiful ocean.      Loved your poem and I&#39;m sure the crew also will enjoy it.<br />Good luck on your retirement - I know it is not what you wanted but I&#39;m sure you will keep busy.   Please visit with us whenever you can - we have missed you.<br /><br />Joey - great to have you back and glad you had a good trip also.    It sounds like you and David might be sailing again before November.     Just remember, as Rose said, once school is out those ships are full of kids.<br /><br />Hector - it&#39;s great to see you posting so quickly.    You will get to know everyone soon.    Any questions about any or us or things we talk about, just ask.     Do you work locally or are you commuting to NY each day.  I know a lot of folks up here do that.   <br /><br />Martha - How are things this morning?    Is Lee&#39;s Dad still in the hospital.    Hoping they have some answers for Lee about his problems on Wednesday.<br /><br />Cheryl - I know how you feel about sometimes looking forward to Mondays.    Wish I could have the place to myself today as Jim is off to work and this is his last 2 days of full time employment.   One Wednesday he cuts back to 2 1/2 hrs. a day and I&#39;m dreading it.    At any rate, today is Field Day for Ash and Michael has to be at school all day with her so I will have TJ all day today.   Hope it clears up enough for him to go out and play.  Glad you got to see the grandkids yesterday.   How are Scotty and Annabelle getting along?    Do they compete for your time when they are with you?<br /><br />Sue - hope you have a great day today.    When is your brother and his family coming?<br /><br />Jackie - I didn&#39;t realize you were going to be in La. for a whole month.   That is wonderful.    Where are you heading when you leave there?<br /><br />Falina - safe travels to Dennis this week.    When does the school year end for you?<br /><br />Andrea - hope you get to spend some time with us this week.<br /><br />Deb - Hope you had a good weekend and finished packing for your camping trip.<br /><br />Shari - any luck finding a cat sitter yet?<br /><br />Donna - I know around our parts if we put our garage sail leftovers out by the curb they will be gone overnight.    Are you ready for your cruise?<br /><br />James - it won&#39;t be long now til sail away.<br /><br />Jim - I hope you take a break from all your chores to enjoy your beautiful deck.<br /><br />Steve - I&#39;m sure this will be a hard week for you &amp; Lynda.    Sending prayers your way.<br /><br />Good morning to everyone else.   Really need to get moving and get a few things done before TJ arrives in about an hour.    I&#39;ll check back during the day.  <br /><br />In the meantime, make today count.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><br />Mary Lou.....thanks for the warm welcome, as always, when the prodigal daughter returns.  The cruise on the Mariner with Joey certainly improved my spirits.  I will have to be looking for some sort of<br />employment, of course, but, now that my health is improving, I will enjoy this foray into retirement for a little while and hope to spend a bit more time on crazies.

Nothing exciting on the agenda today - just plan to do some deep cleaning.  It is supposed to be in the 90&#39;s today.  Greg told me last night that I should turn the central air on today but I don&#39;t think I will.  He told me that after I turn it on, I will need to go outside several times and check the unit itself and then go to the other side of the house and check the breaker box just to make sure that nothing has caught fire.  Now that scared me - he said that it should be fine, but he always keeps an eye on it for a while after it is turned on for the first time of the year.  I think I may wait until he gets home and let him take care of it.<br /><br />I told you guys that we had bought a new couch last Sunday. The one we have now, we just bought a year ago and we were going to give it away, but now I think that is not going to happen.  Greg wears his wedding ring all the time, only taking it off when he goes to bed.  For the last couple of days, he hasn&#39;t been ablt to get it off at all, so last evening, he was washing his hands and it slipped off, so he put it in his pocket. When he was sitting on the couch, he put his hand in his pocket to get something and he said he felt the ring come out and fall down between the cushions. He felt around down in there, and then we flipped it over and he couldn&#39;t find it, so we flipped it over backwards. He shook the thing, took the material off the bottom and looked everywhere that he could see. He felt around as much as he could, but of course, he can&#39;t get up into the springs where all the foam is. There is recliners in each end, so lots of metal and mechanisms, etc. I told him that we would just buy hime another one. I am on my 3rd wedding ring, as he has &quot;upgraded&quot; me twice and I have suggested several times that we get him a different one. He always says that he does not want another, that this is the one I put on his finger on our wedding day and it is the one he plans to wear the rest of his life. He told me last night that we won&#39;t be giving this couch away now because he is going to be taking a chain saw to it and he will find that ring. Our new sofa is due in at the end of the month so he said that he will have one of the boys come over before we get it and help him take this to the backyard and tear it apart...I am thinking that is going to be a big mess&#33;&#33;&#33; <br /><br />Joey and Carmen, it is so nice to have you back home with us.

John deJongh Jr., speaking from the scene later, said, &quot;It is definitely gone.&quot; He continued, &quot;They are just trying to control it at this point and to mitigate any damage to surrounding property.&quot; <br />There we no injuries, according to Government House spokesman Jean Greaux Jr. <br /><br />&quot;All off-duty firefighters have been called out, along with all water-supply apparatus,&quot; he said. <br /><br />Personnel from Housing, Parks and Recreation and Public Works were also summoned, according to Greaux. <br /><br />Later Greaux said that although no one was being evacuated, only emergency vehicles had access to the road going up to Mountain Top from the three-way intersection at Route 33. Residents coming home late were not being allowed in. <br /><br />The raging fire was not threatening to neighboring houses, but fire personnel were hosing down propane tanks on the property, hoping to keep the intense heat from causing them to explode, he said. <br /><br />The blaze started around 8:30 p.m., Greaux said. By 10 p.m. an eerie orange glow silhouetted the surrounding hills and could be seen from Peterborg and Hull Bay. One person who called the Source from Yacht Haven said she could see a pulsating pink cloud hanging over the mountain. <br />As of 11 p.m., sirens could still be heard and emergency vehicles observed from the hillsides above town moving toward the fire. <br /><br />As the night wore on, the surrounding valleys gradually filled with the charred scent of what was until Monday night one of the island&#39;s oldest and most famous tourist haunts. <br /><br />No fire officials could be reached for comment about the cause of the fire. <br /> <br />','waf125','waf125','2009-05-19 18:02:09',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(366238,4386,1,18,362611,'2009-05-19 18:20:35',NULL,'','Well, I&#39;m here, too...hoping to play tour guide for some of the Mariner crew.

John deJongh Jr., speaking from the scene later, said, &quot;It is definitely gone.&quot; He continued, &quot;They are just trying to control it at this point and to mitigate any damage to surrounding property.&quot; <br />There we no injuries, according to Government House spokesman Jean Greaux Jr. <br /><br />&quot;All off-duty firefighters have been called out, along with all water-supply apparatus,&quot; he said. <br /><br />Personnel from Housing, Parks and Recreation and Public Works were also summoned, according to Greaux. <br /><br />Later Greaux said that although no one was being evacuated, only emergency vehicles had access to the road going up to Mountain Top from the three-way intersection at Route 33. Residents coming home late were not being allowed in. <br /><br />The raging fire was not threatening to neighboring houses, but fire personnel were hosing down propane tanks on the property, hoping to keep the intense heat from causing them to explode, he said. <br /><br />The blaze started around 8:30 p.m., Greaux said. By 10 p.m. an eerie orange glow silhouetted the surrounding hills and could be seen from Peterborg and Hull Bay. One person who called the Source from Yacht Haven said she could see a pulsating pink cloud hanging over the mountain. <br />As of 11 p.m., sirens could still be heard and emergency vehicles observed from the hillsides above town moving toward the fire. <br /><br />As the night wore on, the surrounding valleys gradually filled with the charred scent of what was until Monday night one of the island&#39;s oldest and most famous tourist haunts. <br /><br />No fire officials could be reached for comment about the cause of the fire.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><br />I&#39;m so sorry; I had a lot going on this am....<br /><br /><b>Yes, unfortunately, it is St. Thomas&#33;</b>','waf125','waf125','2009-05-19 22:25:21',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(366288,3858,1,18,362611,'2009-05-19 22:40:35',NULL,'','Martha - I remember that place very well.
