Hi Ruth,

-> I suspect it'll be the latter; there are several other "Pennysaver"
-> types in the county already.

 RH> We have one or two here too.  THey're pretty useless.

I've seen a couple out here, don't recall any in HI but I'm sure they
were there as well.  About the only thing they're good for is filling up
the recyle bag.

->  RH> What I can't figure out is why they'd think women couldn't do it.

-> Male thinking. (G)

 RH> Wishful thinking.  A woman with a head of steam and an M-16 is pretty
 RH> intimidating to some guys.

You never saw the one picture Deborah sent us from Iraq--she's toting a
big old Squad Automatic Weapon.  She volunteered for it! Good way to
keep off folks she didn't want around. (G)

-> outdo the guys in everything to prove that females can do it. Those
-> aren't as effective leadership NCOs as ones who haven't that chip on
-> their shoulder.

 RH> These didn't try to prove it; they just ran the joint.

Yes, and ran it well.  The first sergeant is the company commander's
main "go to" person for just about anything going on in the company.

-> game in town and they didn't deliver. Have to go thru the town now and
-> see if they've gone under or been taken over by one of the franchises.

 RH> If it's anything like around here, it's the franchises that have gone
 RH> under.

Town is home to one of the State University Colleges at schools so it
can support few pizza places.  But, the ones that are the best are the
ones the kids keep coming back to.

-> cantata is this week end so once that's finished, most of my major
-> committment for the holidays is over, just an occaisional outing here &
-> there.  Robert won't get a home sewn gift this year for Christmas but I
-> can surprise him maybe this spring with something.

 RH> That's OK; I don't think he's old enough to care.  I still have to
 RH> make my Stollen, Lebkuchen, and at least one butter cookie.

He won't; we got him this year's Hess truck--a flatbed with a helicopter
that detatches.  He'll have fun with that.

-> up a couple of Paula Deen's first 2 or 3 before leaving the area, plus a
-> good one to represent either just Savannah or the state as a whole.

 RH> I have at least one Georgia charity cookbook somewhere...I think.
 RH> Paula Dean was never my thing.  The Wei Chuan collection, on the other

Well, she's local Savannah and good old southern cooking.  Caught a bit
of her show earlier today where she made twice baked potatoes and had
shrimp in the filling.

->  RH> as someone else is paying for the jet fuel!

-> Yes, and the coaches are always fussing about it.

 RH> It knocks a big hole in their budgets for Gatorade showers

Surprisingly, June Jones did well with the UH football team this year,
something like 10-2.  I think a lot of folks out there were ready to
send him packing; this is his best season since he took over in 2000.  I
don't think he's the next best thing to sliced bread tho.
