Adrenaline rushes ...
When I arrived home (after a long flight, including the encounter with the truck), I finally landed on my porch again, fixed my hair (it was quite windy out there) and sat down with a 'sex on the beach' cocktail. Seemed appropriate.
And I started daydreaming, thinking back about another adrenaline rush I had 2 weeks ago. Don't know if it's the only one in SL or not, but I found a real rollercoaster !! All made of bamboo. Boy oh boy, I still get the shivers thinking about that ...
For those who are not too scared of heights & speed: click here for the SLurl. If you don't land at the rollercoaster right away, just fly South-East a bit. It's behind the houses.

Madame Mathy's 'Cabinete de Clairvoyancy'
by Miralee Munro
THE IDEA OF HAVING YOUR FORTUNE READ is an intriguing one, but far more so when there is every chance you will learn about your Second Life, as well as your RL.
Avatar readings are a relatively new concept, but the opportunity is now being offered by French clairvoyant, Madame Candice Mathy of Normandie, France.
Regular readers will know that SL Newspaper columnist, Natalie Niven is one of Madame Mathy's delighted clientele. (Apparently Natalie was given some very promising news in the romance department).
Madame Mathy says she "fell head over heels in love" with SL when she arrived here in March 2007 and loves creating her own avatar, something she is very skilled at through her abilities as a stylist. Through a interpreter, Madame Mathy (who does not speak English), says she also enjoys helping people by doing the clairvoyant readings.
I asked whose future is being revealed, the avatar's of the RL being? She replied that there was not much difference between the two, as it is the personality of a person which is being read and both the RL personality and the SL personality combine.
"Our personalities are the same," she explained. "It is more a feeling of things, and this, everyone will interpret differently. I speak rather, about what touches a person. It has to bring something of reality."
Most importantly, Madame Mathy believes that SL offers people a good opportunity for their spirit to grow.
I asked if the process of allowing your 'inner self' to be expressed so freely in SL made it more difficult for her to read people's 'other' life, since for most people the two are so completely different.
But she reassured me that the two combined to make the complete personality, and that it had no impact on her ability to read for the person.
Still, there was still some resistance from some people to the idea of clairvoyant readings. "It is never easy to open to somebody," she pointed out. "Whether it is the reality of SL or RL. People can be somewhat uneasy, but I find they speak openly with me."
"Clairvoyance is a metiér I adore," she enthused. "I became aware of my abilities when I was an adolescent, but did not use my abilities then."
With eight years experience in clairvoyance, Madame Mathy uses gypsy 'belote' cards in her readings, charging 100L per question.
She says she has been able to help people in many ways - from predicting a proposal of marriage, advising of gifts to come, warning of a fraud to such simple events as "a surprise feté or de soirée romantique".
If you plan to visit Madame Mathy in her 'Cabinete de Clairvoyancy', try and arrange an interpreter if you do not speak French.

My second life flashed before my eyes
This evening I had been visiting the enormous Hudson Mansion (see Homes & Gardens) to let the kind man know that the story was posted and as usual the TP's didn't work. So I had to fly home 'manually'. Just when I flew over the nice beaches of mainland, I apparently wasn't paying attention and when I looked up, my second life flashed before my eyes !!!
I thought I was about to get crushed by an enormous truck coming right at me. But then I realized it was me coming right at the truck. It was a narrow escape.
The truck was actually standing there just behind the beach, stuck in the muddy grassland. When I looked around, it hit me. It must have been delivering 'land for sale' signs there, coz the logo was on the side of the truck. I figured it was stuck there, coz it was abandoned. The driver was probably trying to get help or something.
Nice adrenaline rush though ... :-)

Biggest Mansion in SL !!! (part 2)
Now in the Homes & Gardens section: part 2 of the article about the biggest house/mansion in all of SL. This time about the inside, the architects and other features on the sim.
Flooding detected in Mall
Even small people can create great chaos. For example in this Mall, they had to clean for over 4 days to get most of the coke out of the stores. Still very sticky walking around there !
