Morning Mayor.
Flamethowers work well on moles.
Not sure if they work as well on grubs. ;-)
Morning Iris7.
I'm with you on the "cranky, drunken Vets". Never made a lot of sense, I knew some who almost seemed to have made a career out of that.
Morning PE.
Good escapist flic. :-)
Mornign Feather.
This is a big week for us here. Tommorow is the day the Windows updates for this month come down. 5 Critical Updates for Windows as well as 1 each for MSN Messenger, Microsoft Office and Microsoft Excahnge plus the April version of the Malicious Software Removal Tool and 2 Non-Security updates all due out tommorow.
Then on Wednesday, it's my birthday. I turn 41 years old on Wednesday. Not sure what I have planned but it'll be just a normal day.
Yesterday was a little bit active in the weather. There was a brief tornado touchdown near Harrah in the OKC Metro. T-storm warnings for a few counties. It's blustery and cool this morning.
How's it going, Snippy?
I remember watching "Red Dawn" and asking myself, "Where did he GET that stuff?"

At the beginning of the 20th century an American woman is abducted in Morocco by Berbers. The attempts to free her range from diplomatic pressure to military intervention.
S. T. Karnick
Editor-in-chief, American Outlook
The Wind and the Lion, written and directed by John Milius. The hazards of politics, both domestic and international, provide the backdrop for a highly sophisticated meditation on how to deal with terrorists, in this intelligent but rousing adventure based on a true story. Sean Connery plays Berger chieftain Mulay el-Raisuli the Magnificent, who kidnaps American diplomat's wife Edith Pedecaris (Candice Bergman) and her two children, in 1904 Morocco. Mrs. Pedecaris deftly avoids falling prey to the Stockholm Syndrome, while President Teddy Roosevelt (brilliantly played by Brian Keith) resists Raisuli's ransom demands, telegraphing the chieftain, "Pedecaris alive or Raisuli dead."
Reall Fun!
(hint: I REALLY like this movie)
Yeah, I think you're right.
Hope you are feeling better soon.
