I’ve been messin’ with my old laptop which I haven’t played with in a while. Matter of fact I’m makin’ my post usin’ it even. It works fine, just old and the screen is tiny. Still a fun thing to have. Yeah, this is my excitin’ evenin’. I’m a wild bear! 😃 ---

Stopped and bought a slushie this afternoon. They had five flavors: blue raspberry, cherry, grape, lemon-line, and orange. I ordered raspberry. And the girl asked me if I meant blue raspberry or cherry. Seriously? You couldn’t figure out that raspberry meant blue raspberry? And do a lot of people get confused and think cherry is sometimes called raspberry? ---

Not so happy: the whammed toe probably isn’t broken, but is turning interesting colors and wearing a shoe on that foot hurts. Since I do have my usual volunteer deal tomorrow (and did need to run a couple of errands, such as getting more printer paper, since we’re nearly out), this is not a good thing. ---

Well \*\*Dimmy \*\* we could change the vowel and you could be Dammy, Demmy Dommy or… \*\* \*\*DUMMY! **Dimmy** doesn’t seem so bad now does it? 😃 It’s all a matter of perspective ya know. {{{ **Midget** }}} Maybe we could switch, I’ll send the HFH to Canada and you can send your mom here. Or better yet, just put them on the same plane to Siberia, let them cool their heels for a while. **Nettie** years ago I broke my baby toe, it still hurts to wear shoes which is why I wear flip flops all year round unless there is snow on the ground. ---

Hey everyone! We are enjoying a bit of a respite in New Mexico - it’s been in the 70s today and cloudy, with rain predicted. Some areas of ABQ have had rain today, but none so far where I am. The chances are pretty good for rain most of this week, which is a very good thing given the drought here. Thunder storms seem to be particularly spectacular in NM, btw. 🙂 HUGS all around, to all who are in need. **Gotti** , sending healing vibes to your back, hope you’ll be back to work soon. I am very belated in this, but a huge thank you to **Spaz** for linking to the Prelinger archive a while back. There’s another site that I found through Lilek’s site, called Shorpy, the link is [here](http://www.shorpy.com).There are some really amazing photos on that site, including personal ones believe it or not, ones users have posted from their own personal collections. It’s very easy to get “lost” looking at them, believe me. 😃 Tomorrow is a farmer’s market day, I’m hoping to find some delicious fresh fruits and veggies. Hope all have a good day! Glad to hear about the crab counting job for you, **FCM** , it really sounds like a blast! ---

Hi everyone, I am happy to be off work, really happy. Irk was good this past weekend, I just did not get finished until a few hours ago. On top of the regular weekend kind of shows we had this one to make happen [http://www.summerlandtour.net/](http://www.summerlandtour.net/) once again in a parking lot, in Houston, in July. All went well, I made the loud like Shipley’s makes the doughnuts and we loaded out all the gear with just a sprinkle of rain for the last few cases as they went into the truck. Tired, beat up and hurting but happy as a clam. Cheers Been lurking **{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}** to all that need. Welcome **DMark, Dimmy, Dangerstud or 13** as I like to call him… ;)😃 Beerverage and bad movie time… **JIM** ---

A pedestrian was struck on the interstate about 1.5 miles from my house almost 3 hours ago. I know this at this un-Ogly hour because the _very loud_ news helicopter has been loitering over the scene for the past 10-15 mins. Anyone have a SAM? Need delivery fast! :mad: Notes say ped was banging on car winders before being struck! :eek: :smack: ---

… and I thought the gummint was bad on paperwork, tho in a way, I’m still working for the gummint… I had an email yesterday from the actual company I’m working for - it’s a contractor working for the contractor (who has actually trained me, etc) who is working for the state. Anyway, I sent them a metric buttload of paperwork last week, but apparently they need more. Not only do I have to fill it out for me and my sweetie, I have to forge his signature because it’s got to be mailed to the home office and my sweetie is in FL at the moment. Or I could have him print it out at his folks’ place and mail his docs himself. It’s already unpleasant and and muggy out, and I have to mow the ditch. ick. I also need to spot clean the carpet and stencil some towels. Gonna be a busy day once I get caffeinated and in gear. I have discovered that suddenly, I only need about 6 hours of sleep. Last night, I crashed around 9:30 and darn if I wasn’t wide away shortly before 4. Had \*\*FCD \*\*been home, I could probably have forced myself to stay up later, but I was nodding off and I surrendered to the fatigue. I’ll try to stay up later tonight. Meanwhile, morning surfing needs to be surfed before I can start chores. Priorities, you know! Happy Tuesday! ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis a muggy 74 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 90 Amurrkin and only an isolated chance of rain today. We could use a little less rain at the moment so hopefully it’s goin’ where it’s needed more. **Midget** glad your mom’s gettin’ taken care of and here’s hopin’ things settle down on the homefront. Ok, that’s all I got for now. Need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, alas, irk purtification must commence. Happy Tuesday Y’all! ---

Blurfity blurf. Did I miss the party yesterday? Belated Happy DMark Day! It is hot hot hot in the office today, I left the windows partially open last night in the hope that it would cool off a bit but it is still boiling in here. I’m sure it’s legally too hot to work since we don’t have aircon and the poor little fan is struggling to keep up. Luckily it was better at home last night and I did manage to get some sleep despite being woken up just after midnight when Shadow decided to bring home one of his little treasures. I chased him out twice with it but this morning when I got up, he’d left me two-thirds of a mouse on the stairs. How lucky am I? ---
