My boss found out today he's allergic to beef as well as mesquite, live oak and pecan, which are the woods we use to smoke beef. I think he's saying he's allergic to Texas.

What the HELL!?

Why am I getting an e-mail about a Closeout Sale on 2012 Fords?  Aren't the 2015 about to come out?

Contrary to popular belief, Scandanavia is not the only place to see fjords.  Of course, as BK noted, there is your local Fjord dealer.  But you can also see fjords in Chile, which I saw when I cruised around Cape Horn and up the western coast of Chile.



Great picture, Tom!

DR Jane, I've talked casually with the social worker for independent living, where she is now.  We both think she'd find assisted living really annoying.

I'm sure I would.  I would also be happy for someone to come in and help me in my own home.

When are you going to move?

Selling country property can take a long time, and in this market who knows.  First we have to decide when we will put it up for sale, possibly in the spring.

We love it here but the children aren't coming home anymore.

A pastry, I think.

DR TCB I can't can't all the times my mother stopped drinking only to return to it.  I have great admiration for anyone who succeeds.

I think today I will go to the pool. Water is supposed to be medicinal. My knee is being to hurt again and the should has never stopped.

I think it is.  Did it help?

Once again I got the single lane today :)   I had to sit and wait 5 minutes for it and I let the man who had told me he would be out soon how grateful I was.

DR TCB, I am almost always proud of you.

Speaking of Der Brucer, has anyone heard anything?

I sent him birthday wishes and hope to receive a response in the next couple of days.

I was thinking a woman more than a man.  There are so many horror stories out there I can understand her fear.  It is a shame.

James Brady's death has now been declared a homicide as it was determined he died from the gunshot wounds received thirty-plus years ago when he and President Reagan were both shot.

Had a really fun lunch, then picked up a few packages, one of which seems to be a book all about barbecue lovers and Texas, by some bloke named John G.

I gather you have discussed this with her doctor.  This is not the woman you used to describe.  I know it must be heartbreaking at times.
