Hi Ruth,

-> Just another example of why cats are so hard to figure out.  Is it a
-> pussy cat or a tiger today?

 RH> Depends - is the target a tinfoil ball, mouse, or skunk?  (I had one
 RH> that investigated a skunk once - it helped that she looked like a
 RH> skunk with her coat on backwards.  Somehow she didn't get sprayed.)

Good for her!  My parents' pets get into more trouble with porcupines
than skunks but have gone rounds with them as well.  I recall one dog of
my childhood sporting a pinkish coat in the normally white spots from a
skunk encounter and subsequent tomato juice bath.  She stunk for months
after, even with the tomato juice, especially when she got wet.

->  RH> chorus to Poke Salad Annie.  (...the gators got your Granny...)

-> Don't know that particular one but gaters are a common part of living in
-> the south these days.  The one fishing pond on post has a sign near it
-> warning of gaters.  It also posts creel limits but none listed for
-> gaters.

 RH> Bag limits ON gators or bag limits FOR gators?

Your choice. (G)

 RH> seeds
->  RH> for next year.

-> We didn't save the seeds as Steve wanted just habbies the next year.
-> Those were the ones that actually ended up going for a couple of years,
-> with the better crop the 2nd year. We had tomatoes both years as well,
-> and Deborah put in a few watermelon seeds one year.  Got a lot of plants
-> but only one melon.

 RH> Figures.  I've never been able to grow those here - not enough sun and
 RH> too short a season.

This was in AZ; she planted the seeds from a 4th of July watermelon and
harvested it (as I recall) sometime in October.

When we were up to my parents in July, Steve pulled a few of the bigger
weeds from their garden patch around the volunteer tomato and pumpkin
plants.  Mom and Dad got a few tomatoes and said that several pumpkins
were growing.  Then a couple of weeks ago, they reported that only one
pumkin was any good; something had killed off the others (and not
frost).

Catch you later,
