 ML>As far as having gotten
 ML>out of here alive, there are a couple I've heard of in legend
 ML>and fable.
 DD> I've invested a lot of time and skull sweat investigating those
 DD> claims.  Even Snopes is silent on the subject.

I think many of us have. The thing is, one doesn't know for sure
until until; but so much discussion, amicable and otherwise, has
been spent on the topic.

 ML> DD> Speaking of which - things are looking grim for Georgia.

This is more than not getting to go to the picnic, isn't it.
Tell her we're all thinking of her.

 ML>Is she appropriately medicated for what can be medicated? If not,
 ML>Dr. Michael suggests an adult beverage now and then.
 DD> The adult beverage(s) are contraindicated by several of her meds. 

Maybe some of the meds function in loco? If not, they should.
No sense suffering more than necessary.

 DD> Many of Kelton's stories are "Western" only because they are set in
 DD> Texas. They are not, by any means exclusively cowboy yarns. A lot are
 DD> -  mainly because the history of Baja Oklahoma is bound up pretty
 DD> closely  with the cattle bidness. But it is also tied rather tightly to
 DD> the oil  bidness - especially around Kelton's home stomping grounds.

I know that the value of literature is not dependent on its
setting ... I know even that that particular setting is a
worthy subject of investigation in itself ... it's just that
I've never gone that route nor been tempted to do so. Maybe
living in Houston for 4 years colored my attitude.

 ML> DD> I have put out requests for a version of Ms. Lenya's
 ML>performance. 
 ML>It's my favorite performance by a singer who can't sing.
 DD> Mine might be Richard Harris' "MacArthur's Park".

An on-topic song!

 DD> Title: Meat-In-A-Loaf, A.K.A. Oklahoma Beef Wellington
 DD> 16 oz Loaf sweet batard or other
 DD> - Artisan bread
 DD> 1 c  Panko breadcrumbs

I didn't know they had artisan bread and panko in Oklahoma?!
