Nasty guys.. :(

> Brain freeze?

Yep, but that's nothing (grin).. one day we came home from the store and I said
to Ron, 'the lizards look really good'... eh.. it was the bananas. but for that
minute or two they were called 'lizards' :) :)

Neat..

Oh we had skunks :) and wood chucks.. I still remember how bad it was when our
irish setter would come home after being hit by skunk :( :(  Our place was
about 3 1/2 acres of land on one of the main streets in Warwick, so we saw a
bit of wildlife.

Things come and go with this.. one day, everything is fine.. the next day may
or may not be.. but at least it mostly 'goes' away with me.

Ah.. we have gas.. propane actually.  I wish we had electric sometimes..that is
what my mom preferred as well.  I remember complaining that with electric
burners you couldn't control the heat as well (or so it seemed).. but it didn't
stop me from experimenting with cooking when I was living at home :)

Yes, getting closer :)

Nah, I'll probably sell it on ebay or something.. :)

Take care,
