Kev, Was that otter not a certain John Travolta, or am I getting confused after watching otter perform a Cossack dance. We have loads of Russian plug-ins down here Kev, and others from all over the east of Europe. Sweltering in the heat, I'm on a drip feed of ICE COLD ale.....torture...absolute torture

Otter says thanks for the welcome back - his website www.rowlatt.org/OtterHome.htm is now updated with Russian pics Otter & I have just come back from walking 26 miles in the middle of the night wearing a decorated bra in aid of breast cancer. Otter wussed out & stayed (mostly) in my bumbag but I walked every mile. Currently welded to PC chair, unable to move.

Jenny........fab photos of Otter in Eastern Euyrope. ;D The statue with the hood looks really sinister, I thought it was 'Death' and Otter looks so calm and relaxed.......I always thought he had a 'dark' side. You must stop him associating with Admiral Freeman, those Jedi have strange forces around them Hope your feet are better after the Moonwalk. Why not tell us about it, I know you had lots of famous people walking with you, must be worth a paragraph here....I'm sure Otter won't mind

Great photo's on the site, Otter does seem to have quite a few famous friends, it must be the jet set lifestyle Susieg PS We would like to hear about the breast cancer walk

Hi Susie, It was a 26.2 mile walk , starting at midnight, wearing decorated bras & normal bottoms. 15,000 of us started. It was really really hot - I had been worried about tiredness but it was too hot to be tired. The first 10 miles were lovely - lots of drivers hooted & tooted & I wiggled my bits at everyone. After mile 16 everything locked up and I was walking from my hips like Frankenstiens monster. My bum bag which was supposed to be full of essential supplies was full of Otter. The last 6 miles were really really tough and I got through it by thinking of my friend who has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. We all got a medal at the end - then the real job began of collecting all the promised sponsor money. Otter sponsored £1 !!!!

He's ok, he has a top of the range all weather self lubricating wetsuit.......Adidas and Nike would love to have an Olympic costume like that Jenny. You could tattoo some Olympic rings on his fur, that would be cost effective, and he'd be the only Canadian otter with 5 rings

Otter is not too keen on me tattooing him - maybe I can find a little Olympic flag for him to wave. I have just been given 10 little jumpers for Otter with all the months of the year except July & August. He is wearing Mays jumper, which is pastel pink with an embroidered sunflower ..........................

Y'see Jenny........treat him nice and he goes camp straight away What Otter needs is a leather motor bike jacket. loads of studs, big helmet, goggles.........mmmm, works for me Otters are supposed to be butch......they do, after all, have to compete with matcho Canadian beavers.......Otter is a Canuck? So, its a little known fact that Canadian otters mastered the art of steel fabrication, and that is why, when you journey throught the Canadian outback you happen upon a 'Southfork' style house.......well....its an otter house....no dams for them. Mmmmm, I reckon a few tatts will make a critter of him, don't molly coddle the furry beastie. Anubis.Guardian Of The West. (Otter...Boo!)

Hot news - Otter has had an invitation to visit Area 51 in October. He will have to go without me - hope the aliens do not kidnap him. My friends will guard him closely........

if he happens to need another guard... I might be available... I *really do* hope I will see Otter in one of those nice alien outfits they have at that Roswell café ... hmm ... oh yes... Crashdown (oh.. bummer, forget Otter is still male and would look quirky in an alien apron) ;D ;D from www.seeing-stars.com/ImagePages/CrashdownPhoto2.shtmldaxmaryrussel (totally into Roswell and Area 51 at the moment since started to watch the dvd:s) --- "All I ask is a tall ship, and a load of contraband to fill her with..."

Dax, Very surprised you missed Area 51 on your last trip to Las Vegas. Highway 375 is due north of Las Vegas and features The Area 51 Research Center at Rachel which highlights activities in and around the area. Rachel is not a large settlement, its population is about 100 souls in mobile homes, the sort of town you have seen in countless 'road' movies, so, enjoy the vibe and leave your issue's in the Las Vegas hotel room Highway 375 was officially designated ET Highway in 1996, to coincide with the launch of the movie Independence Day, but the "Extraterrestrial Highway" signs have all been stolen, I think one still stands in Rachel. Just a warning, the Little A'Le'Inn has a very Republican flavour, the bar area is full of Republican party posters, no problem if you just go in to enjoy the food, atmosphere and beer. But if you have strong anti gun feelings, keep them to yourself in this bar.....you might get some air con of your own if you speak too freely. Be careful Otter approaching Area 51, the guards are authorised to use 'deadly force' on trespassers, and if you are not shot and killed you will be fined UPWARDS of $600 just for stepping inside the UNMARKED BOUNDARY so go easy. Watch out for orange posts, some topped with silver globes and some 'Restricted Area' signs......that is the only clue....do not pass anything that resembles these. Oh, and you may think you are on your own....but you are being watched....for sure. If you want to view the buildings of Area 51, go to Tikaboo Peak......hell of journey to do....but if you get to it early before the heat haze rises you should get a glimpse of the buildings....bring binoculars. Best route is from US 93, east of the area at milepost 32.2 south of Alamo. Its a 22 mile drive to Badger Spring, park up, and hike for two hours to the summit of Tikaboo.....oh, bring a damn compass, folks have got lost up there.....first time for an Otter. Do this in summer only, and early in the morning, otherwise the heat haze kills the view. For casual readers to this, don't venture up the Peak from October to April, the snow can be deep. If Otter wants more details....contact me and I'll provide more information. There are no guided tours out of Vegas, just rent a good car, its about 180 miles to Rachel. Drive out of Las Vegas north on US Interstate 15, take a left after 40 miles due north on Federal US 93 for just over a 100 miles to its left hand turn junction into the ET Highway, Rachel is about 40 miles further on. You can stay in the trailer accomodation at the A'Le'Inn, a double bed in a trailer is about $42 a night. Again, if you want details, let me know. Tell you what Dax, if I get my act together maybe we should do the gig next year, I'll see how it goes. Good luck Otter......methinks you'll need it my fuzzy faced little Old Style drinker....Timberrrrrr! ;D

I have passed the details on to my friends, thanks Anubis. Poor Otter has had a nasty encounter with a washing machine. He is clean & fragrant but looking rather shell shocked................... We are going to Yorkshire for a long weekend soon, hope they can cope.

A small comfort: when I was in England last I met Little Otter, he is quite cute also and love his swims in the Grand Junction Canal ;D BTW, is Otter back from his excursions to that Alien Part of our Globe, Area 51? Would love to hear all about it. I see that Otter has almost been to my country - he looked a bit scared in that Viking Long boat ;D daxmaryrussel --- "This business has got you so twisted around you can't think straight.

In my younger days I was a Champion Swimmer - but I bet Otter will give me a run for my money - erm - well maybe a swim for my money

Otter says he will watch you swim, Kev, as he doesn't want to ruin his Caribbean shirt. By the way, when you say you are a musician, what do you play? My son is a jazz trumpeter.
