Nice video. That's definitely the most likeable that Bree has been in ages.

I've got to say, though, that the product placement had all the subtlety of being hit in the head with a hammer. I mean, I know that the Creators have to pay the bills, but jeez...I wasn't expecting THAT!

Jonas was once again acting strangely. Why did he say, "This is the spot", when they were in the middle of nowhere with nothing at all around them?

I think that he was probably just messing around, not wanting to admit that he was lost.

It didn't come off as being the least bit sinister to me.

I think he was saying like "if i was to build a truck stop this would be the spot" kinda saying how he wasn't lost. i didn't think it was odd.

Selena, you know this for sure, or are you just throwing it out there?

If that is the time, does that overlay the radio show? I doubt they would do that; it would make people too mad.

Liked the vid.

On page 3, sorry.

Jonas is driving Bree to the ceremony. We will have another vid tonight.

I looked it up on Google. Here's the link:

The Vernal Equinox happens 12:07 am on Wed. the 21st.

There is all kinds of misinformation about it on the net, but this is, indeed, the correct time and date.

The Vernal Equinox is a part of my religion (though we call it Ostara), and I kinda make sure I have the right info. It can be celebrated at the exact moment of the equinox, at dawn or at sunset, depending on the faith involved, but it is on the 21st.

Edit to add -- wasn't thinking of time/country differences here! Of course, it will be different depending on where you live! Sorry!

I asked the hubby, who is an amateur astronomer...and he said that the Vernal Equinox will actually occur at 00:07 Universal Time...which is 8:07pm Eastern Daylight Time...which is just over 2 hours from now.

The equinox in not always on the 21st... sometimes it's a day earlier or a day later. I've checked quite a few sites, and all seem to be in agreement that for 2007, the vernal equinox is on the 20th. Ostara is also part of my faith, and I try to check around as well.

Yes, I realize that it's not always on the same date. As I already added to my previous post, what time it actually happens tonight depends on where you are in the world. I was not accounting for the time changes.

Actually, the hubby cleared up the date for me...

It *IS* the 21st....Universal TIME.... 00:07. But with time zone differences, for people in the US, it's tonight, the 20th. He knows this kind of stuff, he's got the sky memorized, I swear.

Thanks for clearing that up! It can get rather confusing with the time differences when everyone is all over the place.

Your hubby must be one smart cookie!

Thanks... I hope I didn't sound snippy. (Wasn't my intent anyway.) You got your edit in before i posted my response.

Do we have any indications as to where they are headed?
