And a resounding good evening to you Jinxie! *Hugs*

Actually we have recordish highs around the 90*’s.

However, come Friday it’s all open windows & some weekend chili on the stove!

Speaking of chili....how did you do in the cook off competition?

[luvie]

Howdy Big Guy!! ((((hugs))))

Never! We just have to stop for a moment, take a deep cleansing
breath and then come out slugging...with CONSERVATIVE candidates!

NO MORE RINOS!

(I’ve had a epiphany since this debacle!...thanks to a
friend’s giving me a good talking to)

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!

Must retire – the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!



All Gave Some – Some Gave All!!!
