Nice to have you back Professor:-)


Here now, Mr. Billy! You shouldn't be a temptin' this here old
pig-ignorant autodidactic

Huh? Who's this Otto Dididatik feller anyway and why is he so
ignorant?
to return to his former estate. During my
winter sabbatical, I purposed to return, if indeed I *did* return, a
more gentle and tolerant Charlie.

Charlie, I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty
is no vice and that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.

Why you lookin' at me like that?

All that banging on pots left me
sorely afflicted with tinnitis.....or was that the atenolol....hmmm.


Afraid you'll have to speak up boy. Ears ain't so good. What'd ya say?


*sigh*.....life is difficult, isn't it?


Oh, it's a little after four. Got plenty of time.

And the next round of lisinopril and prunella is on me, kid. I'm taking
your mom's advice on the potted flowers and I've ordered some of the
trailing kind. I want to thank everybody who made suggestions, even
Frank, the knuckle head (Next time he sees an American flag, he'd better
look close to see if a geezer is carrying it.), but fuchsias would get
too much sun in my garden area. I was piqued by Om's suggestion of
growing peanuts, the idea never occurred to me before. Which is
fortunate. According to Wikipedia, the best of the lot for flavor are
"runners" peanuts. Spanish peanuts seem to be susceptible to a host of
ailments and Virginia peanuts are just BIG. I found one supplier of
Spanish peanuts and three of Virginia peanuts. Zip for runners.

Where is that prunella tea? I can feel the systolic creepin' up on me.
Maybe the good denizens of "wrecked gardens", can help me on this one.
I'm lookin' for "runners" peanuts.

Damn, I never wanted to get into the pot bangin' business but as you
mature, sometimes your common sense gets out in front of your good
sense, and you find yourself sayin' things that are likely to cause you
great bodily harm. Defecation of character is too good for Bush, Cheney,
et al. He should pay a greater price for miscon-screwing of the
constitution.

Where the hell is my pot? I try not to leave home without it. Evita was
on the tube last night, sorta got me into the mood, don'cha know.

Anyway, it's good to have you back boy. Bill was struggling to keep me
literate an all, but I think it may be a two man job. I'm looking
forward to being awash again in metaphors, similes, and poetic leaps of
imagery.

What ever become of our girl Rachael? Last I heard the south Sandhill
region of N.C. was drier than a popcorn fart. Can I say that? Anyway, if
you talk to her say, hi. News from North Carolina has a hard time making
it out to the west coast.

Well, I'd better get on with makin' dinner. After a couple of night of
stuffing myself from the barbecue, I think I'd best have a nice green
salad tonight and maybe an over priced artichokes to see if that will
make the peristalsis happy.

See ya' in the funny papers.
