Good 40º drizzly morning. Rained on and off again all night! We'll see what
today brings. So far with this storm we've gotten 1 1/2". This morning:
I had dumped out the gauge after the first 1/4"....
I had to laugh at my friend Edda's remark on her email this
morning...."Watched some of Fox & Friends.....the E-Vile One is simply
pretending he hasn't been Prez for 4 yrs. and is running against himself and
Dubya....can't stand it!"
I love your 'take' on it E!!!
Yesterday I pickled some baby carrots with garlic and onion. When you chop
onion, put a small votive candle on your chopping block and it will burn off the
onion fumes and your eyes won't water!
The turkeys are coming back around. Have only seen a few hens, mostly Toms
and Jakes.
The clouds were pretty yesterday afternoon:
... and this little birdie noticed me after I took his first picture...
cute!
BTW, we have always referred to the sparrows as LBBs. Little Brown Birdies!
This morning when I went to let Maggie out first thing, there was Bruiser
sleeping on Maggie's "princess bed" (2 dog beds stacked on top of each
other. Maggie loves it. Used to be 3 beds, but I gave one to Atlas, granddog,
since he seemed to love it too!) Bruiser was comfy comfy comfy!!
Got this from ret LASD Charlean Allen... Thanks Charlie, funny. I was
smiling all the way through! A take off on "You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Me
Lucille". A couple of Buckeye boys. Over 2 million hits!
Dinner last night was not creative... a lobster tail I had cooked
previously when I bought two on sale at Costco, and leftover angel hair...
heated with butter. OMGOOD!
I was a good mom and let Harley and Maggie have a couple bites each. Happy
campers! Especially Harley!!!

... I wonder if Fran was here today, would he (yes, a "he"!) 'Twitter'?
Just think, a Twitter from Zwitter! Just being silly.
Carve up a few bell peppers, make spaghetti and add a sauce. Stuff them
with meat and cheese and any kind of noodle... so it looks like the guts coming
out! She serves them cold, but I'd bake them in the oven in a pan with about
1/2" of water at 375º for 15-20 minutes. How fun!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Hump Day. Ciao.

October 24th
National Bologna Day
Some of the best bologna I ever had .... Jerry got a 'chub' or 'horse-cock
of bologna' from the butcher.. he had to order it special. Then he smoked it.
Sliced it and it was HEAVENLY!
(Don't get weird, the butchers used to call the "chubs" of bologna just
that .... probably back before the '70's) and it was a Navy term, "United States
Navy for bologna...
"I'm heading down to the mess deck to pick up a horse c*ck
sandwich for mid-rats"
Here is a guy who grilled a chub of bologna...
