    I’m thinking this just HAS to be funny.

    Odd, nothing from recent years really comes to mind…maybe one of the young’uns can think of something more modern?

    Oh, Lord, yes, Bear country!Anything by Dave Barry, if you’re up to reading. Or Carl Hiaasen. Their books always make me genuinely laugh out loud.

    Ellie, what a great idea. Hi, Christy! You know we all still miss you and your stellar writing, and our hearts are with you now. Wishing also for the least-side-effects possible with chemo. So sorry to hear about your aunt. I know your beloved Mr. ReddHedd and your Peanut will love and support you. Your [...]

    Always late, lately…but can’t miss the doggies! And Mrs. T. Love the horizontal lines in this lovely photo.
    And here’s hoping the lovely Mrs. T can still walk today.

    He put up a quick post on FB. Not sure what happened. But it must have been sudden.

    Morning OverEasy peeps. spending the morning on the phone, mostly not reaching the people I need to reach. Clients being released on bond, may or may not get any transportation from detention (deliberately in midst of nowhere). Just open the door, say, “you’re on your own.” Sigh. And our beloved Sen. wacko, er Grassley, has [...]

    jawbone, every report I’ve heard about the agreement among the European retailers has listed H&M as one of the first signers.

    Not that that makes it true, of course. But that was part of the reason the agreement was big news, because H&M is so huge.

    Msmolly, thanks for the refurbished link. I’m not rushing out to buy a MacBook Air, but will be ruminating on it, I think. If the immigration courts are going to allow them, it might be well worth it. (right now all electronics are prohibited, except at a few enlightened courts like that one). Sorry about [...]

    Need edit for the above posts. Aagh.Left out words, dangling clauses; ooh well.

    Also, too, re Texas weather: it seems I was flying over the tornado storms on the way home last evening. No direct flights between El Paso and San Antonio, have to stop in Dallas. Landing in Dallas was pretty bumpy, and although at Love Field (not DFW) we could see the storm approaching, though Love [...]

    Late to the party again, but can I chime in on the MacBook Air? At court yesterday in El Paso a lawyer behind had one he was working on while we waited for the judge. Says he has always been a windows user and just got this – loves it. It was so small and [...]

    Ruth, your instructions are pretty funny, as well as practical.

    Just popping in to say, hi. Got lotsa work to do today, partly because I didn’t do most of it yesterday.
    Is lemon meringue pie Mom’s favorite? Sounds lovely. Fun to make, too, especially swirling the meringue. Have a fun Mother’s Day, everyone!

    Morning, firepups. I’m up early – partly ’cause I adjusted to east coast time, partly ’cause I have a ton of work to do.
    Elliott-thanks for that little taste of Caturday. It was cute. Sad cat diary is pretty good, too. I thought about it as I held the door open for Big Boy to decide “inside, or outside, or inside” after breakfast.
    It’s cool and dampish out; he’s still inside. ;)

    Ha, bg! That’s my fault, I could have crafted that sentence more clearly. Glad you figured it out though.

  • How weird! I typed a comment here when there were no other comments yet. But it isn’t here now.
    What’s going on?

    No biggie, but I am curious to know if any demonstrations or such occurred at the actual event.
    Peterr? Do you know?

    I thought I had nothing to say about this Wembley pic because everyone else said it ahead of me, but now, I think I must say that this (along with the grown Fenway looming over puppy Wembley) is now my very favorite Thursday Night Basset Blogging evah!
    the picture keeps drawing me back. I’d swear I could touch the screen and feel that fur…

    Thanks again, TBogg, for sticking around and for sticking with the Thursday night tradition.

    Ah, you know exactly whereof I speak. Heh.
    I grew to see the spare beauty of western Oklahoma, especially the broad sky, but it ain’t the same thing.

    I must run, but on the topic of nature’s songs, I gotta put up this link, for all who didn’t hear it on the radio.

    The cicadas have not yet come out in MD, but maybe they will have when I go for that hearing. I’ve never had the right timing to hear or see them. 17 years ago, I arrived to visit my folks just after they went back underground.

    [and I managed a drive-by of my parents' 30+yr home; the azaleas around the front steps are gone. : ( ]
