Car 1, Bunny 0. But he was resurrected over the night - his body was gone this morning.

So glad Jay was able to help someone's dog. It makes up for this.

I am bummed. Going to move the hammock to a far corner and grieve ...[:(]

However if someone cuts the cake.........^

We have a surplus of those wascally wabbits after a mild winter. We'll drop one in (one of the more prolific Garbonzo Brothers that has its own guard-scottie protecting it from Mr. Fox) by parachute on my way to Boston Tuesday night.

[blhanel]

If it was one of those semi-wild cottontails that are so prolific around here, don't worry- it's probably resurrected as half a dozen more little ones.

I thought about making a joke about cutting another food item, but decided I'd better let it be for now in the interest of good taste (or in this case, good smell?).[:D]

[espeefoamer]

MMMMMMMMM! Pork chops abracadabra with a slice of lemon pie[dinner]. Sounds delicious. I've got a long work day ahead of me today!

Hummm...lets see what happened to me today?/...................um Nothing.. I jsut got bored in my Technical Writing class and craked jokes all afternoon. That was a lot more entertaining than, listing to my professor ramble on and on about how important works cited pages are. Oh we did get a chance to talk about Crystal Meth, that got real interesting.

Oh I also did a burn out in one of my school's cars (95 Nissan Maxama) on one of the back roads, it was getting new tires anyway so I decided to use em' up. So I made my mark. [:D]

CW can I have some Chop Abracadbra w/onion slices, creamed potatoes, whole kernal corn and cornbread. I also need a Sprite to go with it.

[tree68]

Wow - less than a page today - pretty quiet.

Mz Mook - My back yard is fenced, but several of the little hoppers found their way in back when the daughter's Dalmatian was in residence here. Unfortunately they could never remember how to get back out again when the dog discovered them and gave chase... Biggest problem with that was that the danged things have fleas....

MC - if your flight takes you far enough north to see Lake Ontario - wave!

After several nights of free food over the past week, I've gotta cut back - but I will take some of that pie...

Meth - Rural America's growth industry...

[blhanel]

I think I drove everyone out of the diner with my "poor humor reference".[:I]

[Mookie]

[:O] Oops - excuse my bad manners.

Short nite. Too cool, too hot, too humid, too noisy (thunder) too windy (fan) and salty supper. We should know better by this time!

So before someone else gets in here - I am so in the hammock! [|)]

[cherokee woman]

Good Tuesday morning, everyone. Coffee is on, and juice is made.

Breakfast is on the warmer bar. Yes, it's Tuesday, and I've already had
people ringing the doorbell to sign up for Produce today.

See some dust on the train layouts. You guys need to check your layouts:
I'm NOT touching them!! I'll turn them on, but I'm not cleaning the dust bunnies
off them.

Lunch today will be leftover pork chop abracadbra. Made plenty for yesterday,
and hardly had anyone in here. See you all later, got more people ringing the
doorbell.

[JoeKoh]

all right produce today!!! any strawberries?
larry know what you mean by meth being rual american industry. alot of farm supply companys and elevators have increased security measures now.the people dont care if they rupture a tank or what condition they or their houses are in as long as they can make the crap.
stay safe

CW, thanks for all the fine food here in the Diner. Guess it's time to move on and leave the bandwidth for those with quality posts.

[blhanel]

Hey Mookie, what's up with BC lately? Haven't seen him here in the Diner in a while.[%-)]

[chad thomas]

I didn't post this yesterday cause it took so long to upload my pix from last weekend. I had a wild time friday night. My bro Joe and I decided to go down to Tijauana for Cinco De Mayo (Mexican independance day). Instead of driveing we took the trolley. I got pole position right behind the operator with a clear view ahead. That was cool. I was suprised that the throttle appeared to only have two notches. The whole trip the operator was yapping on the cell phone. We met up with my buddy that lives down there and we went out to a few bars. Joe had never been there before. We had a pretty wild night danceing and drinking. I even blew $5 on a polaroid picture. It was a trip hearing American rock songs being sung in spanish. They usually play spanish music.

Well Joe drank a bit too much and going home was an interesting journey. He made it too the cab alright but when we got dropped off at the border he stumbled out of the cab and fell in the street. There were three cops standing right there and I thought for sure they would hassle us, but they didn't. We somehow made it all the way to the border building and through the checkpoint. Then I headed to the trolley and half way there realised I lost him. So back inside I found him sitting on a bench. After a few minuets we headed back to the trolley. We almost made it when BLAM, he fell face first to the ground. Well as I was picking him up these 2 American cops standing up on the ped overpass yelled down,"Get on that trolley or you're going to jail"[:O]. So I was half draging him and at the same time telling him,"Come on Joey...come on Joey". We made it to the trolley door and there were a few people that started chanting "Joey..Joey...Joey". By the time we climbed aboard and took a seat the whole trolley full of people were chanting "Joey" and laughing. Aparently we were not the only ones loaded. That must have went on for 10 minuets. Actually not everyone was chanting, There was this one older guy that moved to the other end of the car and clutched his bag a little bit tighter. Then Joe, in a moment of clairity, stands up and looks around with this shocked look on his face and the chanting started all over again. That was a trolley ride I'll never forget. Viva La Mexico !!!!!

Hey CW,
Since you have some leftovers and I didn't make it in yesterday, I'll take a helping.

I've got desert covered. The owner of our company brings us in goodies everyday to eat, so I'll snack on them.

I think he is out smelling the lilacs! My favorite pastime! Nothing smells better than a good clean cat or lilacs! [:D]

Mook

[Mookie]

Chad - I almost took the trolley the last time I was in San Diego. Sounds like it would have been an interesting "trip". Only two things kept me from it - fear and common sense! [:)]

[JoeKoh]

chad
whitnessed that type of night before. took a guy out for his bachelor party. he kept trying to open the child proof doors on the way home.every 5 minutes buuuuuzzzz buzzz..but everyone got home safely.
stay safe

[cherokee woman]

Brian (KY), you're welcome to any leftovers you can find here in the Diner. Usually have
several containers with leftovers in the fridge. But I do clean the fridge out every Saturday,
so that there isn't anything left too long in the fridge.

Mookie, where is Carl out smelling the lilacs? He must've gone a lonnnnng way to smell
the lilacs. Speaking of lilacs, I've got one that Walt planted for me six years ago. The
spring after he planted it, it bloomed. Hasn't bloomed since. Anybody have any ideas what
I can do to get it to bloom next spring?

Joe, sorry, but they didn't bring us any strawberries today. We got watermelon chunks,
potatoes, and broccoli florets. That was all they had today.[:(]

Supper tonight will be BLTs, fried taters, and watermelon for dessert.

[Anonymous]

CW,
Try using that Miracle Grow Plant stuff. Looking foward to Dinner, things have been busy around here.

[JoeKoh]

watermelon works great too and potatoes for smashed taters yummy!
stay safe
Joe

[blhanel]

I remember hearing somewhere that you have to prune the lilac bush back every fall, which tends to make it flower more.

[jeaton]

Since the subjects today range from evenings in TJ to smelling the lilacs-any serious Doonesbury fans out there? Check this out:

[cherokee woman]

John, I've tried the Miracle Grow you attach to the water hose. Hasn't worked so far.
Brian (IA), we prune it every fall, and that's not working, either. The bush grows, but
just not producing any flowers. All the other things he planted at the same time are
really thriving. The other things planted were a Soldier's Prayer Red Rose, a holly
bush, and a burning bush. Maybe I need someone to bring me a bag of manure to
put on it this fall.

[CSXrules4eva]

CW you want manure no problem. At my house were are over stocked with manure due to the number of my grandma's gardens and feilds romaing the property. Actually, you can smell it from a good 1/2 block away.

Well, Chad is sounds as if you had way too much fun a couple of days ago. That almost reminds me of the times I have walked into a sports bar during NFL or NHL playoffs, here in Philly. I would always walk in with our team jersey on, and as soon as I step into the bar I get people that I don't know giving me high fives, and yelling YEAAA!!!!! It still happenes to me as of this day.

CW what's for din din??

[tree68]

Re: Lilacs - Seems like I've been told that they only bloom every other year - or rather that a given branch blooms every other year, so half of the plant is blooming every year. [%-)]

Mine just plain got to unwieldy, and now they are gone. As much as I love the smell of real lilacs, they weren't worth the hassles. Maybe I'll put some in out by the back fence...

As for a foolproof way of getting it to bloom - try to get rid of it....[:P]

And then there are clean cats. I'm usually too busy bandaging up my wounds to see if the cat smells good.... And I even use lilac-scented shampoo!

[blhanel]

You can try going fishing! One year my Dad speared some carp that were running up the stream next to our property- he dug holes next to some little evergreens we had, and buried the carp in them; the next year, the evergreens doubled in size!

[cherokee woman]

Good Wednesday morning, everyone. Well, looks like rain is starting here.
They say we might have some severe storms late this afternoon, into the
evening. Jim, here it's already raining in your area. Believe that's what we're
supposed to get later this afternoon, and tonight.

Breakfast this morning: bacon, sausage and pancakes. Anyone want some
watermelon chunks for breakfast?

[JoeKoh]

calling for rain here later today and tonight.we can use it. been getting a little dry.
stay safe
