I saw one of those cool kids today. He walked like a schmoo.
With a body like a sack of bread dough, I don't think he had any body parts to pull his pants up to.

If it was "morning in America" for President Ronald Reagan, a new commemorative postage stamp due in February to mark "the Gipper's" birth centennial will forever view the sunrise.
The new commemorative stamp, whose design was unveiled Monday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif., always will be valid for a 1-ounce first-class letter, the U.S. Postal Service confirmed. It officially will be released at the library on Feb. 10, 2011, four days after the 100th anniversary of Reagan's birth.
Texas artist Bart Forbes did the portrait, based on a 1985 photograph of Reagan taken at Rancho del Cielo, near Santa Barbara, Calif.
The design was published first in Linn's Stamp News, a hobbyist publication. Earlier this year, Linn's broke the news that a Reagan Centennial postage stamp would be released.
Although the preliminary design shows a 44-cent value, the postal agency recently announced that all commemorative, or special, issues will be inscribed with "Forever," instead of a face value, meaning they would sell for the then-current first-class rate but would remain valid for first-class mail even when rates increase.
A USPS spokesman who asked not to be identified by name said a revised version showing the "Forever" inscription will be released Dec. 28.

Fortunately, everyone else is still feeling fine.
Off we go for a thrilling bout of Cub Scoutery.
Whoa! I wasn’t counting, honest!
I’m glad to hear that everyone else is feeling fine! That is really good news! And I hope that Sally recovers soon. Did she get any of the birthday dinner, cake and ice cream?
That is unfortunate. You should strive to be honest in your counting.
Of course, you live in Vegas, so ...
So THERE, NnB!
Wassup in Fairhome? Things are in such a state of flux, here.
It’s nice to know there is still normalcy in the world.
Same old old same.
Fairhome is a boring world, with little that is challenging from an environmental position. Earth life and the native species get along very well, with little influence of even biting insects and such.
What the heck, I wouldn't introduce annoying species on a pristine world.
I guess you'd say they have a mixture of "old world" relaxed attitudes and "new world" appreciation for scientific research and economic development. Folks stay busy, you know?
.
As for your local vicinity, you have my sympathies for things being fluxxed up. Been there, dood that.
When you live in those place where it gets cold enough to put a coat to keep warm. Do the cools kids pull up their pants in the winter?
Hope Sally gets well soon.

Very sad news.
In other news, another nephew is getting married, soon, and I think he’s the last of the second-generation offspring. And there are LOTS of them!!
Also, another nephew has announced the pending birth of his first child, to take place in May. He’s two years younger than my son, I think. (There are so many, I have a hard time keeping up with them all... )
More happy news.
We still have... two daughters, one married. That's it. But we're both from long-lived stock, so there's time.
Not sure about this but I believe there are different varieties of streptococcus. Having had “strep throat” I sympathize — it hurts!
A very difficult task, it turns out. I had a really cute one of a little boy drinking from a Great Dane's water dish (for the topic: potable water), but it turns out it could well be under copyright -- just a few years too new. Grrr...
Yep. I'm staying right here!
WHat YOU said. And thanks. *hug*

No one in Vegas between the ages of 13 and 26 pulls his pants up in the cold, and seldom wears more than a hoodie for upper body warmth.
Since I live in Hooterville Junction, I don’t have to expose my eyes to that horrific vision...
“Po’k chops!”
I read or heard somewhere many years ago, that in some areas, rain on the weekends was "caused" by the massive amounts of pollutants expelled into the air during the week; that it caused any clouds in the area to become "seeded" to the extent that by the time Saturday came around, the clouds were full, and had to get rid of the rain.
I'll have to check with the local weather prognosticator...remind me to give you an answer...
I remember much the same. I seem to recall it was hogwash. Whether that meant you sent the hog out into the weekend rain to become clean, or if it meant something else, I don’t recall.
