On my way to the corner store, a little kid about 4 or 5 (a GEEK at that age..feature the glasses) asked his father:
"Why does that man have dirt on his skin?"
"That's a sun tan"
 19736. judithathome - 7/8/2006 8:36:03 PM Nice picture, Jex! 19737. jexster - 7/8/2006 11:57:47 PM That is the rare 5:30 am shot from Marin Headlands...Not as impressive as sunrise seen from the crater of Haleakala volcano on Maui to be sure (I wish I could remember where I put those pics).
That's why we ask our daddies why you outlanders have dirt on your skin 19738. Ulgine Barrows - 7/9/2006 5:52:18 AM judithathome, ha, thanks for explaining!
Those cat posts did not show up on my screen.
concerned, your comment makes sense in light of that info.
19739. Magoseph - 7/10/2006 12:46:34 PM Hello, everyone!
Where is everyone? Just come and say hello, will you, please? 19740. judithathome - 7/10/2006 1:13:23 PM Hello!
How was your weekend? 19741. Magoseph - 7/10/2006 2:05:26 PM The weekend was fine, restful, and non-eventful until a storm blew up some transformers last night around ten. I just couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw two enormous fire trucks right in front here, red lights all around their edges blinking on and off. Quite a scaring sight—-goodness, what happened? When the rain ceased, I went to investigate and was told the fire trucks were here to block the traffic until the electric company arrived.
There was smoke around the area where the transformers went off and you never know what could happen in such a wooded area, said one good-looking kid fireman. Goodness, they all were so young and eager to help us assuage our fears. Then I saw a police car with a crowd around it and, of course, I had to be there and listen to what was going on—well, everyone was rather surprised of this show of force.
I told this to Flexy who said; well, that is what happens when an area suddenly found itself with plenty of real-estate-taxes to spend. Go to the next association’s meeting, it should be rowdy and fun with the new residents questioning the board.
19742. Magoseph - 7/10/2006 2:06:02 PM Today, Flexy is seeing his doctor to determine if his health can stand the cataract operation this Thursday—if everything is all right this week, then we’ll prepare ourselves for the carotid operation in August. 19743. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 7/10/2006 2:29:26 PM Every Good wish, Mago! 19744. judithathome - 7/10/2006 3:04:45 PM Sounds pretty exciting, Magos! Most excitement we had over the weekend was the guy across the street buying a 2007 Lexus. 19745. Neato - 7/11/2006 10:32:18 AM Our most excitment over the weekend was 1 very drunk neighbour loudly wanting a ride to the hospital, to the dilerious delight of the other very drunk neighbour who said it was a boil on his anus, and that we would have to wait til he sobered up before we took him. 19746. Magoseph - 7/11/2006 1:09:40 PM Every Good wish, Mago!
Thank you, Wiz, a darling you are.
Hello, Neato—our neighbors are too busy to have fun like yours have and that is too bad. Most leave early, come back late afternoon and the weekend is spent shopping, washing cars, and trimming lawns. We have lately moving here youngish couples and early-retired baby boomers type--the first ones toil hard; the others play golf and go somewhere else to play it for the winter and those we rarely see, so seriously golf is their lives.
We were expecting more kids, but these new residents are of a type who don’t seem to have any or don’t figure them in their lives.
19747. Magoseph - 7/11/2006 1:10:34 PM I’m telling you—I miss Thoughtful, Jay, Mac, Ms. No—-I wish they would let us know how they are. It is cruel to leave us in the dark as suddenly they did.
19748. Magoseph - 7/12/2006 10:21:20 AM Come and say hello to me, Pelle. 19749. wonkers2 - 7/12/2006 12:53:24 PM Anybody know what's up with thoughtful? 19750. Magoseph - 7/12/2006 1:08:31 PM She must be busy this time of the year--that's what I like to think. 19751. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 7/12/2006 3:05:23 PM Anybody know what's up with thoughtful?
I may have been the last one to see her (at my opening) with her husband. I suspect she may be traveling out west–didn't she mention the Grand Tetons?
Then again I also suspect that she misinterpreted Jexster's razzing as serious, wrt her Republican mate–who was very nice, btw. My impression upon meeting her F2F was that she is not only thoughtful, but also very sensitive and reserved. 19752.
