We're going to the Spaghetti Factory downtown -- John's gonna have to blow off Atkins for this dinner!

That sounds yummy, have a great time! I'm not sure what we're doing. I'll probably have me a big ol' slab of roast beast of surprise. (Knowing the wife will never see this - Priceless!)

TRIBAL WISDOM

Tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed on
from generation to generation, says that, "When you discover that
you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount."

However, in government, education, and in corporate
America, more advanced strategies are often employed, such
as:
1. Buying a stronger whip.
2. Changing riders.
3. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
4. Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures
ride horses.
5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be
included.
6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living-impaired.
7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.
8. Harnessing several dead horses together to
increase speed.
9. Providing additional funding and/or training to
increase dead horse's performance.
10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter
riders would improve the dead horse's performance.
11. Declaring that as the dead horse does not have
to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower overhead and
therefore contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the
economy than do some other horses.
12. Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses.
And of course my favorite...
13. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.

Enjoy!

We were looking for ideas. Trussell sked me for advice and in a moment of clarity I panicked and posted in the world's largest font. If I do say so myself, that's pretty odd for someone who didn't want to draw attention to themself tonight.

Perhaps add the FReeper Canteen "mission statement" as a sort of tagline to the card, after the signature. ???

bentfeather: About those squirrels getting your flowers,...

I used to mix up a natural insect spray for flowers where I'd steep onion and garlic peels in water, strain it, put the liquid into a squirt bottle, and add a drop or two of dishwashing liquid. For "crops" that you don't intend to eat, you could either add some habenero or other hot peppers to the peels -- or add an unhealthy dose of cayenne pepper. Unless the squirrels are illegal immigrants with a high tolerence for hot hot hot food, I'd think that'd discourage 'em.

HopeandGlory may have other suggestions. ???

HEY!! Today the mayor of St. Louis declared June 15, 2004 as National Veterans Wheelchair Games Day in the city of St. Louis. They expect over 500 wheelchair athletes to compete in over 16 sporting events. All the participants are military vets. If I can find some pics or a story from a localnews source I'll post it....
