Aloha Ruth!
-> 
->  hn> A couple of nights ago we walked to the nearest
->  hn> Mexican restaurant (El Coronel) and had dinner.
->  hn> I had "Steak Ranchero" which is carne asada
->  hn> with tomatoes, onions, and jalepeno's sauteed
->  hn> and added on top of the steak...they were the
->  hn> hottest jalepeno's I've ever had!! About on a
->  hn> par with thai birdseye peppers! Nearly took the
->  hn> top of my head off!! My eyes watered, nose ran,
->  hn> sweat poured off me! I finally had to put the rest
->  hn> of them aside just to be able to finish the dinner!!
-> 
-> 
-> Those were some hot jalepenos! Sounds like they were as hot as the one
-> bird's eye Thai pepper that Steve had a couple of years ago.  He took it
-> from Gail's Kung Pau Chicken at the pre picnic outing at the gathering
-> at Janis's a couple of years ago.  It took his breath away briefly and
-> he turned as red as the pepper itself.  He didn't report any negative
-> after effects tho.
->
Oh boy were they hot!! Whoosh! I turned beet red 
as well, but finished the dish sans the jalepeno's
A day or so later we were in Petaluma and ate
at Thai Issan, a place we had our eyes on for
several visits...I had panang curry and had
it very spicy...and the peppers in the curry 
were not as hot as those jalepenos!! Good curry 
though! :-)
 
->  hn> It's been a short but nice visit. With Anne's
->  hn> back problems, and my wonky knee we have
->  hn> not been as active as our usual visits. We
-> 
-> So what was the result of your visit to the doctor on the 13th?  Going
-> to finish out the season or retire early like Lou Piniella did
-> yesterday?
-> 
Dr's visit on the 13th reconfirmed the
quandry that seems to be my knee. The
Nuclear Bone Scan showed both knees,
the right (good) knee looked "normal"
the left (wonky) knee looked like Chernobyl!
Glowing brightly with all the increased
blood flow and nothing visible that could
cause it...so we did another MRI of the 
knee and I have another appointment
with the Dr on the 7th of Sept. Who
knows what we'll find this time?

-> 
->  hn> still have plans of visiting Geyserville on
->  hn> monday and also the petrified forest there
->  hn> as well...but we'll see how we are on monday.
-> 
-> So did you keep those plans or start heading back north so Annie could
-> start getting ready for the new school year?
->
We went to both, and had a great time!
Hotter'n blazes though! Temps up into
the triple digits, but low enough humidity
that we managed to survive till we got 
back to the coast...where it was in the
90's! Worked the AC in the hotel as 
hard as we could! 
 
->  hn> We sat and watched Duck Soup last night
-> 
-> As long as you didn't play "Duck, Duck, Goose" with the students, I
-> guess that's OK. (G)
-> 
No running about for me! It was a good
visit, as always too short, but fun and
we made the most of it. On the way home
we came through Ashland Oregon while a
huge fire was being fought right alongside
the Freeway. Helicopters were dropping
water from a nearby lake only yards from
the highway. Saw on the news that night
that 11 homes were burned to the ground.
My guess is that a careless smoker tossed
a smouldering butt out the window as 
they drove along...and left destruction in
their wake.
chat with you soon!
