This weekend, a few of us were showing newbie Harley Dude around town – check out some of the hot spots we visited below. For all the new islanders that are just joining, make sure to take a tour of the places below!

You must be thinking, "How am I supposed to go to these places if I don't even know where they are?"

Bingo! That's a fabulous question! In order to answer it, I will be hosting a tour once a week at a specific time so that all the newbies and tourists can come and check out the secret spots of the island! If you want to become a tour guide or help show the newbies around, post your name here or send me a tele!

I'll be posting the day and time of these regular tours soon, so stay tuned!

 

 

We're under attack! Run, run!

Well, not quite. But hey, look at the photos below and you'll get why I think the island is raining "signs." These signs are just floating around in the air! Talk about taking up space — no pun intended.

It just looks like a really big field of picket protesters, only minus the people and the picket sticks. Bizarre...

Kory.17 went to get a closer look and found out that if you flew to the back side of the signs, they all disappeared! Poof…just like that!

I'm just not too sure I know what these signs are or what they mean, do you? Share!

 

 

This week is very special for our little home sweet home — planet Earth. Why? Well, if you've heard anything about global warming  then you know the heat is on!

On March 29th at 8pm, everyone around the world who's participating in "Earth Hour"  will turn off their lights for one hour.

It all began last year on March 31st when people and companies in Sydney, Australia  switched off and helped reduce the city's energy by 10.2%! That's a big WOW! Communities all around the world noticed — so the people in Sydney have decided to take what they learned and go global! Woot!

Personally, I think anyone who joins up is awesome! And lots of people all around the globe are signing up to show their support. If you're one of them, props to you!

I mean, seriously, it's only an hour…maybe I'll just take a nap. I'm in! Are you?

Now in honor of it all, let's see how many of you can guess this tune: "Turn off the light, oh, turn off the light…"

The OVPD (Olympic Valley Police Department) building will be going under construction for a little upgrade.

Why? Well, the new and plush facility will be called the "SIPD" — Stagecoach Island Police Department — and it's going to be one big place!

Now if you have anything to report to Greenreem and Sara242, the captains, you don't have to limit it to Olympic Valley offenses! They're moving forward, kicking crime fighting up a notch and sending officers out across the island!

In case you guys are heading over to check it out, the place is loaded with bump traps, so watch out!

And don't forget: If you want to sign up to be a dashing and charismatic island officer, drop a tele to sara242, and she'll hook you up with the details.

P.S. Beware…they're even revamping the jail! Don't let yourself get locked up in one of those!

 

 

This new virtual ATM design was created by coachdriver — when you click on it, it teleports you right in front of the cafe's ATM!

Do you dig the look created by our very own islander? Let us know what you think!

Islanders! There's going to be a slight change in plans — Nephepez is changing the date of his party from Friday to Monday the 24th, and it will be at 3:30pm Central Time.

As for the bots, from reading all teles, they're still invading the City Center grounds. I've been in bot hunt mode for a bit with no luck. I mean seriously, what do I need to do? Get one of those metal detectors and sweep for bots? They're hiding from me, I just know it! Ugh.

Well, don't worry! We've got the techie peeps on it, so hopefully I'll be able to give you an update later this week — we'll get to the bottom of bot invasion ASAP!

P.S. Tuesday, March 18, was the day that Wells Fargo Bank was first founded…woot!

Easter is just around the corner, and to celebrate the arrival of the Easter Bunny, Nephewpez is throwing a housewarming party at 3:30PM Central Time at his home — the coordinates are 8N 75W — to celebrate it!

The theme is simple, come dressed up in Easter colors and celebrate the festivities with all the other islanders! See you there!

It's the hippity hoppity time of year, and Nephewpez is throwing a fab Easter party at his house at coordinates 8N 75W. It's also a housewarming &mdash so don't forget to arrive on time at 1:00pm Central Time!

Also, I've heard about these strange and bizarre bots that have been stalking the city center! Islanders have been saying that when they click on them, the bots go *poof* and get teleported...but to where? Who knows?

Have you encountered one of these bots? If you have, post where so we can track 'em down! I've clicked a bunch of them but nothing happened, maybe you guys will have some Easter Bunny luck and find one!

The teleport bot hunting begins!

 

Seriously! I mean, I never really thought about it, but the other day while I was checkin' out the new pads of OV (see my pics below), a few of us chit-chatted about where we're from.

I guess I never really thought about asking, but I would love to know what state or country everyone's from! More and more islanders have been sharing it so I've decided to post here and let everyone tell each other!

As for me, I'm from sunny California and so is simigirl111 and RandyLH. Richard35 is from Arizona.

What about you? What state are you reppin' on the island? Throw it up!

As many of you may know, March is Women's History Month , and that means we all get together to celebrate and honor a few of the gals that have made a splash in our history.

Let's start with Helen Keller . She was the first deaf-blind woman to graduate from college, and went on to become an advocate for people with disabilities, as well as a world-famous activist, speaker and author.

Then you've got Elizabeth Blackwell , who in 1821 was turned down by twenty-nine medical schools just because she was a woman. She finally got into Geneva Medical School, where she graduated at the top of her class and became the first licensed female doctor. Props to her!

Last but not least, Charley Parkhurst  drove a stagecoach across the iffiest parts of the West for years and NO ONE knew he was a woman until she died! Talk about a secret identity...

There are many more women being celebrated each year, and this year's theme is "visionary artists" — take a look at honorees!  And if you know of any special gals you want to mention, post and share!

P.S. One more interesting tidbit: Before Hillary Clinton, the first woman to run for President was Victoria Woodhull  back in 1872! How's that for an interesting fact, yeah?

I sniffled my way back onto the island this past weekend, and it was great catching up with everyone! A group of us were hovering super high in the sky the other day and talked about a topic that a lot of us still wonder about — the moon! Is it really made of cheese? Will we ever find out?

Who knows? All I know is that many of us have tried to fly towards it and can't ever reach it! See if you have any luck and fill us in on whether or not it's really cheesy.

While we were flying, Sara242 filled me in on a ginormous structure that has sprouted up in Olympic Valley. I scoped around and found a ridiculously tall elevator that launches straight into the sky! I'm not sure if that's the thing she was telling me about, but check it out...it's WAY up there!

I'm just thankful it's an elevator and not stairs...whew!

 

 

I've been a little under the weather (*cough cough*), but it's nice to see everything's all chipper on the island.

A few of you have grammed me saying you want to throw a St. Patty's Day  bash, so of course I'm excited! I'll post more once I have the details.

Other than that, what's crackin'? Share with me so I'm not just in bed drinking chicken noodle soup and getting my temperature taken!

*reaches for more tissues*
