Swampy,
I don’t wish to be rude, but could you explain this baby picture?
I understand that it is on file with the Georgia State Police.
Hey – haven’t you mentioned Milledgeville sometime in the past few months?
“Lora Brown, who reported the sighting, says she saw the reptile crossing the street.”
Why did the viper cross the street? To get at Da Bear on the other side!
<singing>
Don’t know why there’s no sun up in the sky
Stormy tree snakes
Since I lost my pit to hiss in
Keeps rainin’ all the time
You must see your Clergyman or Physician.
Hell, see both, and a shrink.
Now!
Why? I could totally see John Lee Hooker singing the Tree Snake Blues.
You have a transistor radio that plays FM?
After looking up in the sky on the way home, I realized that Bobbio’s b-day occurs once in a blue moon (at least this year).
To celebrate, should we all paint our butts blue & moon him? 
Tree snakes crawl before sunrise, fangs standing in my eyes
Tree snakes crawl before sunrise, fangs standing in my eyes
It was a miserable feeling, taking that anti-venom I do despise
I have to leave, leave you baby, because you bit me on the leg
I have to leave you baby, because you know you done bit me on the leg
I’m gonna pack up and leave you before it swells up like an empty keg.
Maybe Plant is more into pop music?
Good day tree snake, good day tree snake, good day tree snake
I need to laugh with cobras raining down
Asps and vipers all are on the ground
They hiss at me in that special way
I’m in love and it’s a snakey day
Good day tree snake, good day tree snake, good day tree snake
We take a walk, assorted snakes around
Nip my feet as they touch the ground
Good day tree snake, good day tree snake, good day tree snake
Then we’d lie beneath the shady tree
Snakes have totally covered my knee
It feels good, like some living vine
Except for that boa that just spilled my wine.
Good day tree snake, good day tree snake, good day tree snake
Good day tree snake, good day tree snake, good day tree snake
Good day tree snake, good day tree snake, good day tree snake
Good day…
Clearly I need to hang out with the Electric Amish more – or less – or with less alcohol. One of the three.
What can I say? I’m in one of those moods. But I’m feeling much better now.
I was driving home when I was pulling up to an intersection about 10 miles from home where I was going to make a right at the traffic light. SUV in the next lane over almost swerves into me. At the red light, he gets out of his car & does something in the back seat. Hmmm, maybe the swerve was because he was trying to reach something? As he gets back into his car, even though it’s dark out, he has that look to him. I decide I’ll go straight as it’s not really out of my way. He then pulls out his phone. The light turns green, I go; he’s still sitting there. The tractor-trailer behind me starts & pulls thru the intersection; he’s still sitting there. He finally catches up to me at the next light; I go slow because I want to be behind him to see if he’s really swerving but before he can get in front of me, he swerves again.
As I crest the hill, I see a cop car, lit up up ahead doing a traffic stop. I speed up & pull in behind the cop just as he’s getting out of his car. I honk & flash my lights at him; as he comes back to me, I point at the SUV & say he’s swerving all over the road. He gets back in his car & gets on the radio as I pull out. In my rear view mirror, I see him pull out, pull alongside the car from the original stop, where it’s obvious the conversation is, “This is your lucky day” & then he drives off, passing me but never putting his lightbar on. A couple of traffic lights up, I see him pull over (by this time he’s crossed the township line).
Oh well, maybe the SUV turned off & he couldn’t find him.
As we come around the next corner, there’s another cop with his lightbar on & waddayaknow, he’s pulled over a certain SUV! You may be able to outrun a given cop, but you can’t outrun Motorola!
So my totals for the night are one person didn’t get a ticket because of me & one guy either was delayed a few minutes (maybe he was just tired) or I bagged a terrorist* tonight.
- Damn right they’re terrorists! Almost 3000 people died in the 3 sites on 9/11; between 3 - 4 times that number have been killed each & every year since then by drunk drivers. I do not not get on planes or not go in skyscrapers because of what happened 14 years ago; however, I am afraid to be in a car on New Year’s Eve. Just because it happens in ones & twos as opposed to thousands at once doesn’t mean it’s not an act that “creates fear & submission produced by terrorism”
Best part is, they didn’t get any of my info. I won’t be subpoenaed to testify & the asshole won’t know who it was that bagged his (probably) drunk ass!
Here’s a crate full of karma points for you, Spidey. That’s kind of awesome.
**kopek **- you brought a tear to my eye. You’re not, by chance, related to Weird Al, are you? 
**Spidey **- gold star for you! *
Terrible night, and I don’t know why. In a little bit, I’ll don grubbies and mow the ditch. It’s in the 60s, so I shouldn’t get too overheated doing one of my least favorite chores. Beyond that, I have no plans.
Happy August 1th!!!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN 'Tis 76 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 89 and afternoon rain/tstorms/apocalypse predicted. We had a hyuuuuuuuuuuuge tstorm between seven-thirty and eight last night. If’n we are to get big stuff this afternoon, I hope it waits until we’re back from Americus.
The big plan for the day is N.O.L. in Americus. After that, well, I am makin’ some jambalaya for brunch over to the church house tomorrow. I’ve had a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for jambalaya so I see this as an opportune time to make some.
Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy demands sustenance. Then, it’s sloth time until we head up to Americus. Or I could go ahead and make the jambalaya. I’m bein’ all willy-nilly today.
Happy Sattidy Y’all!
ETA: Good on you spidey! Also, first on page six! 
Ruble I am in awe!
Up, caffeinated, off today. I shall clean and go to the laundromat. 
: holds up lighter :
Good job, Spidey!
I decided to go ahead with the makeage of jambalaya. ‘Tis now simmerin’ away. I feel so productive!
The bed is made, the bathroom is clean, Gordie has had another walk, time for brunch!
I killded the MMP! :eek:
Jambalaya is all done and da cave smells nummy! Jambalaya is always better the next day so it should be especially nummy by brunch time tomorrow. Plus jambalaya is fun to type and say. JAMBALAYA! JAMBALAYA! JAMBALAYA! Everybody sing!
nettie, the fat free half and half is mostly skim milk with high fructose corn syrup added. :eek: It won’t save you any calories and will raise your blood sugar. :eek::eek:
Good on you, spidey!
Touching up the apartment and running a couple of loads of laundry before meeting friends for supper and then seeing one of their live performances. Sis and her sweetie are going to drop the pups off at my house whenthey get in and join us.
Happy Saturday!
blurf to the blurfth degree
Happy Saturday!
I overslept, I still need a lot of sleep.
You’d think I’d be better by now.
It was beautiful outside this morning. I sat out a bit with the dog. Nice and quiet, nice breeze.
I should open the windows for a while.
I have to get Sah-son over his thing about open windows. The last time I opened them all wide he went behind me and closed them, he’s afraid somebody will break in. I hate to tell him that I could break into this house in under 5 minutes with just a screwdriver.
Yum Jambalaya, good eats.
I’m hungry and need some breakfast, but I think now it will be lunch.
Ruble you missed your calling as a song writer.
Good on you Spidey
I got up w/in the past ½ hr - 45 mins. This is the first weekend in the past four that I’m home. One of those days I got to sleep all the way to 6am. Four others only until 5am (with going to bed ± midnight), & the last one I didn’t go to bed at all! I’m away again next weekend (near midgetville) & two of the next three.
I’ve already had breakfast (Loops of Froot), cleaned all the dishes that were in the sink, & am back at dealing with all of the pictures (600+ from last weekend’s festival alone) + hours of video. Got to leave ≈ 3pm today & won’t get home until 11:30 or midnight again.
I’m not even sure I’ll get to sleep/relax when I’m dead. 
That’s pretty darn serious!
