=========================
Hiya Ruth!
-> 
-> -> Thanks, she's a cutie.  She's so small that some people called her
-> -> "peanut"--to which our son in law commented that he didn't want her
-> -> called a legume.  I told him that "peanut" is better than "goober". (G)
-> 
->  hn> Peanut is a common enough nickname in the southeast.
->  hn> Dunno about the southwest!
-> 
-> I think it's common most anywhere for some one or thing small, no matter
-> what part of the country.
-> 
I had a friend who's nickname as a child was
spud...his parents said tha't because he looked
like a potato as a baby! He liked it as well as
he was the only one he (or I) knew who had 
such a singular nickname...
Oh
by the way, he wanted to grow
up to be a TV common-tater (groannnn)!

-> ->  hn> Can't blame you there...if it weren't for that
-> ->  hn> blasted heat in the summer time I'd enjoy it
-> ->  hn> as well!...and the scenery is sorta.....tan too!
-> 
-> -> Southeastern AZ in the summer gets monsoons so it's not as beige.  It's
-> -> also cooler than Tucson and northward.
-> 
->  hn> Still it's way "tanner" than here in the Evergreen
->  hn> State(grin), and heat and humidity...not my
->  hn> cup o tea anymore, had enough of that in
->  hn> the South Pacific!
-> 
-> Air conditioning or evaporative coolers.  The latter work well in very
-> low humidity areas.
->
I have a friend in the Bisbee area and would really 
enjoy visiting there again...maybe in the springtime
when the wildflowers are blooming!
 
-> ->  hn> Now, go hug your grandkids!
-> 
-> -> Easy enough to do. (G)
-> 
->  hn> And I'll bet you're enjoying it too!
->  hn> Stephen get off alright?
-> 
-> Both planes had trouble, delaying the flights.  First one was a problem
-> with the co pilot's seat; he didn't say what was wrong with the 2nd one.
-> Then his luggage (1 bag) came in on a later flight from Atlanta to
-> Savannah so he had to go back for it.  (The one giving him a ride
-> couldn't wait so took Steve home. He picked up the car & went back as he
-> didn't want to wait for them to deliver it.)  Rachel had fixed him a
-> sandwich the night before; he took that, a banana & a power bar for
-> eats; said the snack & drink cart only came around once so he was glad
-> he had the food.
-> 
Seems that they enjoy treating the
customers worse and worse...unless
you're in First Class you're in steerage.
Had Stephen considered looking at 
hops from Nellis to either Hunter or
Charleston?
chat with you soon!
