Hi Hap,

->  hn> I can do southern cooking right here thanks! I can
->  hn> do without okra, and we get plenty of collards and

-> But it's the atmosphere! (G)  Hot, muggy, with the whine of a ceiling
-> fan.................

 hn> More like the whine of a face full of gnats!
 hn> I remember those long hot muggy days
 hn> they were great as a child playing in
 hn> the trees and bushes wearing only a
 hn> pair of shorts. Not so great for an
 hn> adult! The only thing that I'd be
 hn> liking would be Air Conditioning!

I know, somehow the things that never bothered you as a child do so as
an adult. I don't care for hot & muggy either; the AC is a big help
there.  As for the gnats--the only way I like to see them is playing
baseball. Gnate the Gnat makes celebrity appearances but he's not whiney
and bothersome.

->  hn> In some areas yes, Maui still seems to have plenty..
->  hn> Kilauea has burned plenty of koa trees on the big
->  hn> island though!

-> As well as a lot of other things. Watching some of the footage of lava
-> flows is amazing!  Too hot to cook marshmallows on tho. (G)

 hn> Yep, problem is that a lot of the koa wood on Maui is not easy to
 hn> get at or it's on property that can't be logged.

And that's what's making it scarce & expensive.

-> -> My fingers, especially on the left hand, don't always like to do what
-> -> the brain tells them to do. If I'm in a hurry, they shut down faster

->  hn> Thank goodness I still have most of my sense
->  hn> of balance and dexterity!

-> My balance is pretty good but the dexterity issue comes up from time to
-> time.  Most times it's when I've over used my hands earlier in the day.
-> I find more typos in the later messages I write than in the earlier
-> ones, especially if I've done a bunch of writing.

 hn> My hand sometimes tends to cramp up when I am
 hn> doing very fine work (jewelry making and such) for
 hn> any extended length of time, other than that I'm

I hear you on that one. Chopping lots of vegetables is another way to
put my hand out of commission fast.  For some things, like stirring
pots, I can switch hands but I'd rather do my knife work all left handed
if possible.


->  hn> maybe we can hold on ....if we can keep
->  hn> the bullpen out of the game!

-> Better the bull pen than the farm teams.

 hn> Well we swept the padres which gave us
 hn> 6 wins out of 9 games on the road...best
 hn> road trip we've had in a while!
 hn> And yes, we need to keep our minor
 hn> league pitchers down there a little
 hn> longer, they still need more experience
 hn> and arm strengthening!

Sounds like most teams.  Speaking of sports, Uga VI passed away Friday
night of congestive heart failure. Uga is the mascot of the University
of Georgia football team but lived in Savannah. The family that owned
him has owned all the previous Ugas and said that here is an heir
waiting to be introduced.


 hn> Today the temps will be up in the
 hn> upper 80's and maybe the 90's
 hn> (for sure the 90's at the ballpark),
 hn> so I'm not looking forward to working
 hn> the game tonight!

That means lots of drinks will be sold (keep yourself hydrated) with the
potential for those that drink the alcoholic ones to get more than a bit
rowdy. You will probably be kept pretty busy for a while.
