My mom used to buy Coke King Size and all seven of us would have a glass as a treat. I think King Size was about 16 or 20 ounces?

Has it cooled down over there?

Well, the weather has. ;-)

As for the creeps, they launched one in at us this morning, but it didn't detonate. {neener, neener, neener!)

That I don't remember. Gramps had a working coke machine on his back porch for us grandkids 1960?. My Aunt and Uncle have it now in their garage and it still works.

There are a couple machines around here in Oklahoma that still work. They're interesting but the amount of Coke is now too small to drink.

Used a lot of bandwidth on that first page. Time for a wee Irish joke:



An Englishman, a Welshman and an Irishman were at the fair and about to go on the helter-skelter when an old crone steps in front of them.

"This is a magic ride," she says. "You will land in whatever you shout out on the way down."

"I'm game for this," says the Welshman and slides down the helter-skelter shouting "GOLD!" at the top of his voice. Sure enough, when he hit the bottom he found himself surrounded by thousands of pounds worth of gold coins.

The Englishman goes next and shouts "SILVER!" at the top of his voice. At the bottom he lands in more silver coinage than he can carry.

The Irishman goes last and, launching himself from the top of the slide shouts "WEEEEEEE!"

That's right...just rub it in my face that you live in the enchanted land south of the Red River.

I must go for now. Thanks for sharing the early bird special with me.

Just remember: The early bird may have gotten the worm but only after the earlier worm gave him the bird.

What a cool spaceship--I've seen similar designs on many book covers.

Whitewalls on a bug?

Yoi!

That's not unlike putting a dress on Hillary.

..... and, hmmm, I had a '56 bug once (sweet car!) but I never remember V.W. making a red one in those years. But, I guess they did.

Hmmm.
