Even if the amusement parks are closed I can always play spotter for later in the year.

Dear Og I got **Special1** all stirred up. We may need a bucket of cold water before this is over. 😃 **Apes** a hoodie with a big “A” on it would suffice. I mean if one is to run about one’s ‘hood bein’ the neighborly super hero one should dress the part. If nuttin’ else it gives the neighbors sump’n to talk about over dindin. **StickyBuns** a super hero should have a pet and/or sidekick so a leopard could work. Hee **Ruble**! SantArchy sounds like it was the usual hoot. Erica probably made that bartender’s day. Close enough to \*\*N.O.L.\*\*time for me! I’s hongry! ---

Mawnin all and afternoon and evening and night where appropriate, Ya know trying to be inclusive, maybe I should just give a shout out to the Watches but then we might have to organize and that seems rather unlikely Happy Humping Day Still no date with Jailbait as our schedules are a bit crossways I did get to take a cold ride on the Motorcycle last night. It was 35f/2c appx and felt good for about five minutes, then of course I was freezing and madly driving back to the house. Stoopit me. Need more coffee **Jim** ---

I may have awfully high expectations here, but wouldn’t one expect some sort of announcement when the office pot luck begins? I was sitting here, working away, and I suddenly became aware of the silence… Downstairs, the vultures had done a good job of picking the pickin’s clean. But I got some chickie and some baby carrots (this place isn’t big on veggies) and some dessert (they are big on dessert) so I won’t starve. Next time, I’m bringing veggies. Oh yeah, and one of the women who was talking about how terrible wheat is had a big ol’ hunk of bread on her plate… 😃 ---

Well, that was a singularly unexciting lunch. The conference room table was full, so I just ate here. At least it’s quiet. And now, back to work… ---

Apparently we’re all allergic to wheat also. :rolleyes: I’m pretty sure neither of them are really me. They sound more like my mother. Spent the day doin’ first aid course, so now feel free to collapse and bleed all over the thread, I can save the day! 😃 Unfortunately, today was the only day of the two week course that I actually wanted to do, and I’m already about ready to slap the course leader for constantly doing stuff like ask me if ‘I’ve got to the good bit yet’ every single sodding time she seems me reading a book, ie. every break. One does not interrupt a person quietly reading a book and eating a sammich in the corner simply because one wants attention. It is not a good way to get that person to like one. Mouse is still squeaking but still wonky. We’re giving it two more days before the antibiotic should have started working if it’s going to. ---

**Nuts** the next time she does this say, “you mean the part where the main character stabs the annoying person who’s always askin’ her if she’s gotten to the good part yet with a rusty pair of scissors?” See if she takes the hint. 😃 ---

I’ve been meanin’ to post about how Ye Olde Home Towne is all abuzz, aghast and appalled over a local “prominent citizen” who is on trial for child pornography. He was the owner of the little local tv station and child porn was discovered on computers at the station which were all owned by him. The prosecution rested its case yestiddy so now it’s the defense’s turn. Yes, I am followin’ this with all the breathless enthusiasm of one who is addicted to a soap opera. The whole thing has been goin’ on for over a year and a half from the time it was first discovered until now. Apparently there were also cameras hidden all over the place and videos were made of people’s crotches when they were sittin’ at desks, in chairs etc. adults and children. :eek: 'Tis quite the entertainment. ---

My ex (now deceased) had a Snortin Norton, you just brought back the memory of the time I was following him from De to Md and it started to rain. Hard cold rain and it was around 2am. So we pulled into a McD parking lot and just by luck we found a 2 by 8 someone had dumped at the back and we used that as a ramp to roll his bike up into the bed of my truck. Rather he did the rolling. He bought the bike of my ex-bil for a few hundred and put another couple of hundred into it and the first time he took it out someone offered him $5000. As if he would sell! Anyway, just thought of that and thought I’d share. ---

I have an 82’ Kawasaki KZ 750 Ltd H2, she was born in Oct 81’ so she just had her 31st birthday. I ride her everyday as she is my only motorized transport. Yes I am insane but I live in Texas where we have good riding weather about 300 days a year, if you don’t mind the heat. **Jim** ---
