    The pebble one is worthy of some sort of gaudy animated GIF award.

    If by "pebble" you are referring to the second pic, then I'd
    offer that it is more a rock than a pebble.

    My question is -- how did that "trail" get formed?
    That is, something was dragging that rock across the parched
    ground. What could it have been?

    I doubt it was the wind (rock isn't round enough to roll)
    Could have been water (flash flood, ground soft enough to retain trail)

    Great pics, btw.

    It's caused by the wind. The rock needs to be pushed by the wind for a long time to move a short distance.

    That boggles the mind.
    But if Wiki says so, it must be true

    This is OT, but I'm stumped...

    I just tried getting into the VB6 and Earlier room, but get
    a vBulletin Message

    Spoo, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

    1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
    2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation


    1. I'm not trying to edit anything -- just enter the VB6 and Earlier forum
    2. I'm not trying to post anything.

    The only way I got in was from an email link to this subscribed thread.

    I can't get into anything else
    - Office Development
    - General Discussion/Chit Chat
    - Forum Feedback
    - etc

    What gives??

    EDIT: BTW, I can get into User CP, and I continue to get emails for other
    threads to which I am subscribed.
    But here we are, 1 hour later, and my problem persists.

    Hmm, must have been a glitch, I have a PM from gep who was also unable to access the forums at about the same time. It should be working now.

    It is back, but most of us appear to have been blocked for an hour or so.
