Had a meeting last night, and busy putting buckets under the remnants of the hurricane before I came to work this morning. Gotta get ahold of that roofing contractor...

Will grab a brownie on the way out, along with some milk...

ALL RIGHT: Where in the tarnation is everyone? I cook all this food, and no one
bothers to come in to eat[sigh] I do not want to have to throw out these soft, chewy,
walnut filled brownies I made today.

Joe, at least bring Matt in so he can have some chocolate brownies!! I know he'll
appreciate them!!

Everybody else must be [zzz]

Mookie, the coffee was Kroger's Breakfast Blend. Only thing added was a little bit
of cream for you. I SWEAR on the HOLY BIBLE that that's all that was in the coffee!!

Door bursts open:

WOW - I don't know what WC put in that coffee, but I was wired all afternoon!

Had about 3 hours of sleep because of dry cough - but feeling much better. When I wasn't coughing, was smiling thinking how I was going to tell the diner that you can go to the east for hurricanes, go to the west for earthquakes, south for rain and horrid humidity, north for Trains and Nebraska to get pollinated!

I know - I shouldn't have wasted valuable sleep time like that!

Next time there is a holiday - and the driver suggests a ride in the country with the windows down, there had better be a darn snowstorm!

Moo!

Yesterday went to the 25th Long Beach Blues Festivale, great show! Clarence Carter, Little Milton , Leon Rustle and my fav' Buddy Guy, but the HEAT was horrible! no breeze till around 2pm wow!

At least we dont have to deal with the hurricanes though shee***wo in as many weeks, and another on the ay for next weekend!

out here were all waiting for the earthquake predictions to happen. Scientist predict a 6+ earthquake for the south-eastern part of the state, problem is the prediction window ended yesterday, but they also predicted the Northridge earthquake but missed the window buy a few days so we are still expecting it, This unusual heat is EARTHQUAKE WEATHER!



Man,am I jealous,you are talking some SERIOUS music there!

Just hope you don't get the predictions.


Locomutt, it was a great show, the full line up for sunday was:

Clarence Carter

Solomon Burke

Little Milton with Dave Alvin

Leon Russell

Buddy Guy

Carter was first up and was outstanding, I really felt sorry for the people who miss the first acts, Burke brought a gospelly blues to the show, Russel didnt seam to glad to be in the heat and did a lot of Rolling Stones cover songs, but the best part was Buddy Guy, he was last up and didnt get to start until the show was almost over, but they let him play for about 30 minutes past the end of the show, and he was kicking it good! Playing down in the crowd and just enjoying himself.

Was even able to get a great FIsh Fry there, catfish, shrimp, oysters and hushpuppies MMmmmMMMm [8D]

   Have fun with your trains

problem. Whoop's where's my kleenex,it was here a moment ago,

Mrs.Moo,hope you do better in coming days;that stuff ain't fun.

As soon as I can get to the grocery, think I'll get some chicken and cream of chicken
soup to make up some chicken and dumplings. Sounds good to me. What else
sounds good to everyone?

Well, supper tonight was leftover spaghetti and garlic toast. Never did get around
to baking any oatmeal cookies. Maybe if I wake up again in the morning at 2 a.m.,
otherwise, it was just too hot here today to have the oven on more than five minutes
to do the garlic toast.

no- It wouldn't sound any better-

I was read through the Book of Revelations and it says that in a thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison and bring forth an apocolypse.

Does that mean he is here since it is past 2000 or does it mean that plus it must also be on the 6th day of the 6th month of the 6th year- June 6 2006?

Why do some people think it is exceptable to put down others? I was in a thread and up to now the debate was going peaceful and than some guy attacks my music that I have worked really hard at perfecting. I don't know what gives people the right to think that this is O.K. Very upset right now.[V][:(]

It's been my experience that some people, rather than trying to rise to the level of another person, will instead try to lower the other person to their level. Thus they must resort to criticism and put-downs. The reason may be jealousy, inadequacy, they feel somehow threatened, or who knows, but in the end the true story usually comes out.

Can't let them get to you, or they have succeeded...

<Edit>Just spent some time looking through the "UP Repo" thread, and can't find one spot where your music was put down. As for your other postings, as always, opinions are fair game.<End Edit>
