Notre-Dame de Paris

Yesterday evening we got the devastating news that the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, France, was aflame. The fire was initially so ferocious and violent that it was feared that the cathedral would burn down completely.

Today we received the sad news that the spire and the oak roof had collapsed, but also the wonderful news that both towers were safe, the structure of the building undamaged and the rosetta windows still intact. All the treasures and artifacts had been removed safely and the copper statues that were normally a part of the collapsed spire had been removed a week prior. It seems the stone ceiling of the cathedral prevented burning timbers from falling into the cathedral. The heroic efforts of the 400 firefighters had been successful.

Of course, the usual Islamophobic ghouls came out yesterday and declared that this was yet an example of Islamic terrorism in its war against Christianity. The cause of the fire is awaiting an inquest, but it is believed that it can be attributed to ongoing renovation work around the collapsed spire.

Two French billionaires have already announced plans to pledge a total of €300 million towards renovation and repairs.

The Notre-Dame is a unique treasure of immense cultural and historical value for Europe and the World.

Ecuador Puts Out the Garbage

Julian Assange, notorious rapist and willing tool of Putin (formerly also known for being a co-founder of WikiLeaks) has the last seven years been squatting at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London to avoid being sent to Sweden to answer for charges in several cases of rape and sexual molestation.

On Thursday the Ecuadorian Embassy asked British Police to assist them in removing Assange from their premises after his political asylum had been revoked by the Ecuadorian President.

In the video below president Lenin Moreno, explains why the asylum was revoked.

President Moreno doesn't elaborate on some of the truly disgusting things Assange has done towards his hosts, I will follow his example and instead refer you to the Internet for further information. 

Introducing Ashdene Logistics

My husband Tomais has recently bought a new warehouse at a prime location in Bedstraw, close to the SecondLife Railroad (SLRR) and the main roads on the mainland. The location has been chosen to facilitate switching transport mode from railroad to road-borne and vice versa.

Yesterday the new premises were opened for business after Tomais having worked for days with the work requiring electro-technical skills, like installing fire security, logistical software and other niceties. Meanwhile, I was used as a menial laborer doing the heavy carrying and the cleaning.

As my Tomais says, "We are a team and share responsibilities depending on our skill-sets. This job does not require the ability to perform brain surgery or have an intimate knowledge of the fine lines of diplomacy, nor does it require historical insight into the Israel-Palestine conflict. You do what you can do, stop whining and get on with it!"

The new warehouse also marks the introduction of Ashdene Logistics, a division of Ashdene Aviation, to the transport market of SecondLife.

Ashdene Logistics will transport anything from one place on the SecondLife grid to the other regardless of volume, weight, and size for a fair price. All your orders will be handled by the highly professional princesses and princes of Southern Charm, dating is optional.

Travelling on the SecondLife Railroad

I may have told you before about my wonderful husband Tomais need to own every vehicle created in SecondLife from 2010 and forward.

Previously this urge was mainly centered on unicycles, bicycles, tricycles, cars, trucks, sailboats, motorboats, barges, blimps, balloons and airplanes of every size, shape, and type known to urbanized man. Well, now my sweet and lovely man has found a new kind of vehicle. Trains.

Yesterday we were traveling on the SecondLife railroad (SLRR) which covers a couple of hundred regions of SecondLife mainland, while Tomais was introducing Lee McMay to his new addiction. Connor Collins, one of Lee's friends from Steamworkz was with us.

We traveled from where Tomais and Lee have their "siding", I believe that's what the parking place for the train is called, all the way to our friend Petr's station at Burn.

I always thought that the mainland was rather ugly, but parts of the landscaping along our route was beautiful.
