That’s what Miss Piggy would _like_ you to believe is on her face. ---

I managed to fall asleep sometime this morning and my sister just called and woke me up. Now I don’t know if today is Sunday or Monday or what the hell. I think I’m going to go back to sleep if God doesn’t bug me anymore. But first I’m going to eat the chile she brought me, she being my sister and not God or something. Are we still in debt or is that all fixed by now? ---

Chili. Unless you are eating a country or a single pepper. ---

The storm the other day, had lightening like a strobe. The flashes were one after another for an hour. The thunder was the same. As one started to fade ,the next one overwrote the previous one so it roared non stop for over an hour. My 2 beagles and my cat jumped in bed and snuggled up shaking. i saved them all again with my magic ability to protect them from storms. ---

Er, except that I have two out of three of those up here in Penn State territory, and when you have the Steelers as your local NFL team you just chuckle behind your newspaper at the pretensions of the SEC. ---

I’ve learned that the chili I heated and ate was fictitious; she never brought me no stinking chili. God knows what that stuff was and it scares me that I liked it. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/theres-a-lot-of-thunder-going-on-outside/590908.md?page=1)
