Make sure you have a lot of guns, you might need them some day. Problem being is that when your door comes off its hinges at 3 AM, you can only hope it's the police ('course that didn't help Fred Hampton none). The good folks of Sreberneza were told that there was a curfew. They were found at home at 3 AM. I'm reminded of the story of the guy that was run off a cliff by wolves. He caught a branch on the way down, which was good, because when he looked down, he saw more wolves. Then the branch moved, and he saw that it was coming loose from the cliff. Looking about for something that would help, he saw a ripe strawberry clinging to the cliff. Reaching out, he grabbed the strawberry, and put it into his mouth, where he savored the flavor. It's a story that we all share. -- - Billy "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arn3lF5XSUg http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Zinn/HZinn_page.html |

Donna in WA On holiday in Europe, Bert noticed a marble column in a church in Rome with a golden telephone on it. As a young priest passed by, Bert asked who the telephone was for. The priest told him it was a direct line to Heaven, and if he'd like to call, it would be one thousand dollars. Bert was amazed, but declined the offer. Throughout Europe Bert kept seeing the same golden telephone on a marble column. At each, he asked about it and the answer was always the same: a direct line to Heaven and he could call for a thousand dollars. Bert finished his European tour in Ireland. He decided to attend Mass at a local village church. When he walked in the door he noticed the golden telephone, but underneath it there was a sign stating: DIRECT LINE TO HEAVEN, 25 cents. "Father," he said I have been all over Europe and in all the cathedrals I visited, I've seen telephones exactly like this one but The price is always $1000.00. Why is it that this one is only 25 cents?" The priest smiled and said, "Son, you're in Ireland now. It's a local call." ;O) ----- The potatoes, as you might expect, seem to be right at home in the overcast and the rain, and we've the best crop of peas that we've ever had. The tomatoes, squash, and peppers are doing very well, almost eerie how they keep growing, and setting flowers in the face of the cool weather. The cucumbers and the melons are an intractable lot, and just sit there and stare at me, like, whaddaya expect from us?

Strawberries are swelling, and I'm tryin' to get some mulch under them. The Prunella vulgaris that I count on to keep my blood pressure down, has joined them. It's a real rascal of a plant, and keeps popping up in unexpected places, which is fine by me. Finally having the last laugh on Mr. Raccoon.

They seem to be bonkers for the African marigolds that I put out. Watched "Don Camillo" last night. It stars French comedian Fernandel as Don Camillo, a Catholic priest who is at odds with his childhood friend and his rural village's newly elected Communist mayor, Peppone (Gino Cervi).

It's virtually impossible to pick either the corn or the beans from a tangled heap on the ground. Been there, done that once was enough. Sweet corn is not strong enough to hold the beans upright. Best of luck, Steve Well, it will be a first. I've had miserable luck getting beans to grow on corn. About the most I expect from the corn is seed for next year. I'm just kinda hoping that one of these years the Bantam corn is going to acclimate to the north side of the hill P -- - Billy "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arn3lF5XSUg http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Zinn/HZinn_page.html |

The priest told him it was a direct line to Heaven, and if he'd like to call, it would be one thousand dollars. Bert was amazed, but declined the offer. Throughout Europe Bert kept seeing the same golden telephone on a marble column. At each, he asked about it and the answer was always the same: a direct line to Heaven and he could call for a thousand dollars. Bert finished his European tour in Ireland. He decided to attend Mass at a local village church. When he walked in the door he noticed the golden telephone, but underneath it there was a sign stating: DIRECT LINE TO HEAVEN, 25 cents. "Father," he said I have been all over Europe and in all the cathedrals I visited, I've seen telephones exactly like this one but The price is always $1000.00. Why is it that this one is only 25 cents?" The priest smiled and said, "Son, you're in Ireland now. It's a local call." ;O) thoroughly enjoyed. But even Ireland hasn't figured it out that it costs a red penny to talk to God. Your garden sounds wonderful. It's time like this when I wish I lived on a bigger lot. I miss my fresh greenbeans and peas and other veggies. But I do have tomatoes and squash growing. Donna in WA I presume that your having the same miserable weather that we're having, except in spades. Woke up to rain this morning. Rain predicted for tomorrow, with possibility of showers on Fri., grrr. I see that they've got rain in the midwest too, only they are some 10 degrees warmer than here. -- - Billy "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arn3lF5XSUg http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Zinn/HZinn_page.html |
