I’ve fallen asleep twice, so I’m thinking I might just take my iPad to bed and read a chapter or two.

[BIGLOOK]

Edgy, hardly.....testy, daily and curmudgeonly, always.

Aloha Connie!

Senses and sensibilities never become collateral damage from the MSM here.

Farmer Taz reporting in.

Freak frost Sunday night.

Drove up after work to try and save what we could.

Sprayed the garden down twice before morning...last time at 6 am.

Lost the squash but salvaged the sweet potatoes, tomatoes and beans and peppers.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Farmer Taz...((HUGS))....sounds like you did a great job of saving stuff.

Why do you spray down the garden, the city kid asks?

I once heard two ladies going on and on about the pains of childbirth and how men don't seem to know what real pain is. I asked if either of them ever got themselves caught in a zipper.

SOUP FOR THE TROOPS

WELCOME TO THE

(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)

Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities

I'm going to post and run.
I'm in a pissed-off mood and won't be fun to be around.
The computer guy has stood me up two nights in a row
and I now will have get Friday's thread ready on
my husband's HP desktop!
Just more work...cause I hate Windows.
So if the thread is late, I apologize in advance.

I'd give him a piece of my mind
but don't have much left...so...
I sent him a nasty-gram (email)
this morning saying he'd better bring it back tonight.

DC METROLAND WEATHER

~ Today...A mix of clouds and sun early
followed by cloudy skies this afternoon.
A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible.
High 83F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph

~ Tonight...Scattered thunderstorms this evening
followed by a few showers overnight. Low around 65F.
Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 50%.

We could use the rain,
but I think all the rain will be north of DC.

Making Z Zoup
A pinch of this...a sprinkle of that...

The number of atoms in a pound of iron
is nearly five trillion billion
4,891,500,000,000,000,000,000,000.

In living memory, it was not until February 18, 1979
that snow fell on the Sahara.
A half-hour storm in southern Algeria stopped traffic.
But within a few hours,
all the snow had melted.

The first catcher in major league baseball history
to win the Rookie of the Year award was Johnny Bench
of the Cincinnati Reds, in 1968.

Napoleon had conquered Italy
by the time he was 26 years old.
(see what you can accomplish when you set your mind to it? LOL)

There are about 130 species of owl.

The FR Canteen is ALWAYS

I've got to go for my morning walk.
But, I'll check pings on my return.
Please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!
