Well, messed up with supper: changed the lunch/supper menus, and forgot to
post the changes. Sorry about that. The menu should have read: fried chicken
drumsticks with your choice of baby lima beans or brocolli w/butter sauce.
There's plenty, so dig in.

Espeefoamer, did not mean to make you sick. But they were all listings of
[b]specials[/b for lunch and supper.

Good morning, everyone! Breakfast this morning is going to on the light
side: oatmeal and toast. Figured with most places still quite warm, no
one will be particularly hungry for a good, hot breakfast. OH, you also have
cantalope and watermelon slices. See you after Produce time.

Mookie, here's some kitty mittons to protect your latest manicure. There's
also some extra coffee, kibbles, and no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies
for you, after you return from "Dead cows on the tracks" thread.

Got whacked by a virus late last week, but am on the mend now. Still WARNING: DO NOT APPROACH THIS SCREEN. POSSIBLE VIRAL CONTAMINATION.

I'll take some juice to go.

Going out to Rochelle tomorrow afternoon--I read a report that the Rochelle Railroad has extended its track southward by nearly two miles (presumably to serve the new methanol plant they're talking about).

Just for fun, I'll go to the park around 4:00 or 5:00 Central time, and wave at everyone through the Webcam.

Wow - three pages! Guess I haven't been in for a while. It's been crazy - about a dozen hot projects at work and at home, plus taking advantage of some good sailing weather. Lunch sounds delicious - hopefully I'll be able to break away!

Mutt, had popcorn last night, here in the diner. Will pop some more, so we can
all share it while watching Carl on the Rochelle webcam!!

Then, for supper tonight, we'll have tacos, taco salad, and beef burritos enchilada
style with refried beans and Spanish rice.
