Good almost afternoon morning, Chloe? if it isn't too much trouble...a bucket of coffee please 'n thank you. Yep, I'll take it at the RC...think I'll just have me a little look-see under the cushion here before I take a seat. What's this? A whoopie cushion..... Hmmmmmm. Maybe I'll just hang onto this...re-deploy it at some point.
ULRICH: Thanks for ordering up and overseeing the latest move...job well done Sir! Your on-going tale of red tape just highlights why I hate all things bureucratic (sp.).
PHILLIP: Best wishes to you and your family this week. It sounds like a very challenging time for all involved, but also sounds like it'll be beneficial when it's all over and done with. Our thoughts are with you.
GARRY: We've got a set of Burma Shave signs just south of Clarence along a county highway. Not sure if they're original or not, wouldn't even know how to tell. They are kinda tough to read, well weathered, but that might not mean too much, could be neglected repos.
Math? What in the wide wide world of sports is with all the MATH talk???? *spasm spasm spasm, twitch* I suffered through Algebra and Plane and Solid Geometry in high school, and lost the war against calculus (I think with some trig) in drafting school. All I remember of algebra is some FOIL thing...but have no idea why I'd ever need to employ it. Geometry was taught by a Vietnam War era Marine (no such thing as an ex-Marine, once a Marine, always a Marine), who fought the VC as a sniper. We figured that was part of why he was so good at figuring angles... All I remember of his class was a 50 minute lecture on the Vietnam War the day of the 10th anniversery of the fall of Saigon. Calculus and trig... well, we just won't go there...
RAY: I've heard THAT theory: good at math = good at music, or vice-versa. Well, I might be the opposite example: I was lousy at match, and lousy at music. Tried to play tenor sax. I could play the notes...but couldn't make the music.
EDDIE (BAMA CSX): Best wishes and thoughts to you, Amy, and little Mikayla. Maybe she's just gotten too comfortable in there, maybe she's just a stubborn little thing: "I'm NOT coming out until I'M good and ready to..." Maybe she's preparing for a life of being "fashionably late." Maybe she's been hearing all the news on the TV and radio, and decided we're all nuts, and she's just going to stay put. Either way, we're hoping all goes well, even if she gets pulled out kicking and screaming...
SUE: good to see you Ma'am, a tip of the hat to you.
JEFF: Not sure exactly why, but the Shell hopper really gave me a moment of pause... I'm liking it.
Now, do I re-deploy the "acquired" or "appropriated" whoopie cushion NOW??? or later....
Have a good, SAFE day everybody...
Chris
