Hi Ruth,

->  RH> They can do that.  At least now he has a good excuse for an
 RH> afternoon nap.

-> He will have an early morning one, has to be at the hospital by 5:45 for
-> 7:15 surgery. That means we leave here around 5; I'll be ready for an
-> afternoon nap when it's all over.

 RH> Forget the nap - more like 12 hours, straight up no chaser.  He can
 RH> make up for potential lost sleep for now though - or at least that's
 RH> the story.

He is, for the most part. Tomorrow and Wednesday he won't be able to
because of morning appointments but should get the time in the rest of
the week.

-> -> (student) firemen were arrested for arson my senior year of school,

->  RH> Oof.  That happens once in a while.  A fire bug sets the fires so
 RH> he can put them out.

-> There was a case of that in and around where I grew up in the mid 70s.
-> Guys were caught and properly dealt with.

 RH> Fortunately.  They usually do mess up and get caught eventually.

But they don't get green bologna sandwiches unless they're in Maricopa
County.

-> -> briefly last night and found out that nugget of information.

->  RH> Can't help with the email, at least from here.

-> We can't either, need to talk to my brother and tell him what to do.
-> Then he can tell Dad what to do, but trying to tell Dad directly, over
-> the phone, is almost impossible.

 RH> I know the feeling; my mother has to yell for help from me sometimes
 RH> and it's bad enough in person.


I'll be putting a bug in Steve's ear again--have a new tool to play with
and he's my techno geel/guru. While we were down at Fort Bragg we got a
tablet for me. I'm not 100% technically illiterate and have an android
based smart phone so will be able to catch on to the basics fairly fast;
it's going beyond that where I may need help.

->  RH> modern ones.  Railroad food was all cooked fresh, so the food
 RH> police, tough noogies. :-)

-> Railroad police had to make sure things stayed at the right temps in the
-> fridges, etc. Actually, not railroad police probably but various health
-> departments.

 RH> Yep.  The manual actually has a lot of normal-sized recipes.  Only
 RH> salad dressings and the like where you'd need bulk were large scale.

And even those, not too great a quantity at a time unless it's something
like Italian dressing.

->  RH> Sounds like home, literally.  My niece's pictures are on table tops
->  RH> though rather than walls, and there's an oil of my two cats above
 RH> the
->  RH> fireplace where a large format photo of a Colorado train used to
 RH> be.
->  RH> I don't like it much, but it was a gift from a friend who thought
 RH> I'd
->  RH> love it.  I like the live cats better, unless they're making pests
 RH> of
->  RH> themselves.

-> Good intentions--did it capture the cats "personalities"?

 RH> Sort of - but she did get the kink in Louise's tail.

Good, you'll remember her for the kink in the tail.

->  RH> It's a great way to keep up with family, get coupons, etc.  I use
 RH> it
->  RH> to keep
->  RH> up with a lot of my church's missionaries, especially those halfway
->  RH> around the world.

-> I still don't want to get sucked into that; I don't have enough hours in
-> the day most days as it is.

 RH> I know the feeling, but I'm on line half the day anyway.

I'm not, logged on to download mail this morning, didn't get back on
till about 7:30. I'll finish Fido, then read the paper, not touching the
computer again until tomorrow morning.

Catch you later,
