Yup, not to worry, unless the fires reach San Olathe … or even San Overland Park … then you can start being nervous! ---

Oh, **dreamer** , let he who hasn’t erred, cast the first typo! [sub]Put the typo down, **Wyatt.** [/sub] I took my father and his woman friend out yesterday for lunch and to help with errands. They are both in their late 70’s and use canes to help with walking. We pulled up to the restaurant and parked and my father said, “Look out everyone. Here comes the Cane Gang.” 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Salem \* > **They are both in their late 70’s and use canes to help with walking. We pulled up to the restaurant and parked and my father said, "Look out everyone. Here comes the Cane Gang."** Your dad sounds like my kind of guy. Is it just me, or is there something ironic about the fact that using a cane makes one able? ---

embarassed? that would assume I have some pride left 😉 Oh and we need to have a special party when we hit 69 pages 😉 I think I need to stop punctuating all my sentances in smilies! This is especially true when writing papers for school!! 🙂 ---

Sleep… I remember sleep fondly… unfortunately there’s no permission to sleep coming up any time soon! I do hope permission for that other activity I ain’t had in a while is granted at my next check-up though. Certainly would make me cheerier about the aforementioned sleep deprivation. 😉 ---

Ya know there ARE good things about living in Indiana, we pretty much never have to worry about wild fires. As for mud slides there’s nowhere for it to slide except into the Ohio river. Earthquakes could be a problem, ‘cause we do live on a fault, but it’s mostly just my fault… > [@](#): > > Salem > Embarassed? In front of this crowd? Oh, dreamer, let he who hasn’t erred, cast the first typo! Put the typo down, Wyatt. Most of my typos are to large to cast easily, but if I HAD to cast them I think I’d use Clint Eastwood, cause they are big and bold, and hard to ignore. (BTW Is it embarrassing to misspell embarrassed? 🙂 that’s why I spell check most of the time 😉 **Salem** Cane gang…he he he ---
