On the other hand the disease is not named for a town in North Carolina.

Good.  They may not be plentiful near you. They haven't shown up here much
either this summer.  It was too dry.

-> OK, it was a thought.  You might find it helpful for this project tho.

Ecch.  I think I'll stick to the old school.  Besides, that quilt is aleady
done.  At the moment I'm working on some fleece applique blocks for another
one.  It involves the word for Love in Arabic and Persian; it's going to a
missionary couple who were in both Iran and Egypt.

I'm crazy, but not that crazy.

It's been that cool here overnight. It'll be hotter next week.
 
->  RH> Good idea... whenever that happens.

-> Keep a pair of gloves handy; juggling that cold stuff around freezes the

I can usually go quite a while before needing gloves.  Not an entire
freezers' worth though.

Ack.  That'll make a right mess. Clean floor though!

-> really good, mop the floor with them, repeat several times.  Then wash

-> with extra rinse, then another rinse & spin) and dryer.

Clean towels too.
 
-> I got the fridge freezer somewhat straightened out today too.  At least
-> I've got a better idea of what's in there, even if I didn't write it

I need to do that too, at some point.  There are chicken wings out there
begging me to mess with them too. There's a missions dinner coming up; they
may end up in a teriyaki bath.
