Hi Ruth,

-> They've all played dumb with me; have had a number of cats on the lap at
-> that time of night and nothing but a purrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

 RH> Mine was stuck outside last night until 4am. She was definitely
 RH> "talking" when I let her in!

If she's used to being indoors at night, I suspect she would have been
quite "put out".

->  RH> You found the flour mill then?

-> Yes, and even tho it sounds like a jet plane on take off or landing, it
-> does a great job of processing the wheat berries.

 RH> On the other hand, the old style was hand-cranked.....

But harder on the wrists, elbows and shoulders.

->  RH> Now if they could just find something to get rid of the common
 RH> cold...

-> Too many variables involved with that one.

 RH> Getting rid of the internet trolls would be nice too, but same
 RH> problem.

You kill one and 7 come to the funneral.  That, BTW, is a quote from
John Burroghs (sp?) who said it about woodchucks but it's equally
applicable to computer viruses.

->  RH> Attic?  Gables?  Does it have a (gasp) basement too?

-> No, the water table is too high here.  That's asking too much in a
-> coastal area to have a basement.

 RH> In these parts, people with basements have been using them as swimming
 RH> pools.

Could be done just as easily here.  We're just a bit above marsh level.


-> Or even those that just happen to have a fruit tree in the back yard as
-> we did.  This should be another big avocado yield year--if the tree is
-> still standing.  We've a feeling it may go when they tear down current
-> housing in that neighborhood to put up the new (more modern) housing.

 RH> I always hate it when developers kill fruit trees.  If nothing else,
 RH> the birds and critters like them.

Very much so.  Our yard was fenced in so we didn't encounter many
critters but the birds sure loved the tree, especially the wild parrots.


->  RH> It's a good thing it didn't go any higher.  Ever pop the top on the
->  RH> bread machine?
 RH> ->
-> Not yet but been close a number of times. (G)

 RH> Better luck next time?

No, yesterday's loaf was combo whole wheat and rye and it didn't rise as
high.

Catch you later,
