Question to both of you! How's the weather been? We are having an embarassment of riches...if that's what you can call rain, rain, rain...but I think that's STILL better than no rain.

You can always try to get up on higher ground...but you can't get away from fires and sandstorms!!!

It has been sunny and mild the last few days - highs around 60. Much better than last winter which was cold and wet.

It's rainy season now, too, so we get a good rainstorm every few days, but NOTHING like what you're getting!

We're enjoying the weather now, because the summers can be brutal. ;-)

Very dry...but the temps are in the 60's...

There is supposed to be rain in the area tomorrow...but, more East of where I live...but, we can always hope that the weather pattern will change...which will rid you of your rain...and send it to us!

I was shocked a few years ago..when my family was just sitting around...someone asked what each of us thought would be the ultimate in "daily luxury"...

I answered having a masseuse available 24/7...for when ever I wanted a massage...heaven...

But, my son, who is 27, answered that he would love to have a brand new pair of socks every day...

I still haven't figured it out...but the next Christmas I gave him a box with about 3-4 dozen pairs of socks...

That is why I was tickled about your tagline...

Because you were being rude to Allegra and in Texas we tend to defend the Wimmin' Folk because we are Gentlemen here (although most of them can take care of themselves) even if they are on the other side of the World.

If I was being "hostile" it would be very apparent and my posts would have been pulled.

I was not the only poster here to have the same outlook on this. Have a nice day.

Helos can be shot down with RPG's. It has been done in the past. Just because someone identified a rocket, doesn't mean it's a Stinger or SA-7 (russian).

One of the problems is the amount of people/traffic that are going about their day.

Hey, Mike-

I thought you'd be amused at the ramblings of one of our very eloquent posters here.

I don't need to point out who it is...you'll figure it out in a heartbeat.

I figure you can always use a laugh. ;-)

Let me get to the point:

The whole ballyhoo regarding who is in Iraq and who is not, was started with this post:

"cordon off the probably zone from which the rocket/missile came and do a house by house search. guilty until proven innocent."

Since you have been deemed the expert on this subject, is this true????

(Written by relative of a soldier)

cordon off the probably zone from which the rocket/missile came and do a house by house search. guilty until proven innocent.

Re: "I don't know who "Allegra" is..."

Well, I do, old sport. She has been over there for two years doing a great job for the US. I think she may have a little better idea what is going on than armchair generals safe at their computer terminals...

posting police hat on

If you are referring to another FReeper you should include them in the "To:" line.

I agree with you.

And when I mention a FReeper by name, I DO put them in the "To:" line.

If there is no name mentioned, there is still a sense of ambiguity, is there not?

Anyway, I'm done with this for the day. We've had bad news about one of our own and my focus has redirected for the time being.
