Oddball stuff can be found almost anywhere, just depends on your
definition of oddball. (G)

Generally, that's the way it goes.

 RH> I bought fish. :-)

Fresh fish, for one meal, we'll get locally. Stock the freezer fish,
we'll take a cooler down to the coast and fill it just before coming
back to WF.

 RH> You get my share!

But you can't have my dark because Steve eats it. (G)

Got that in one! Jenny-cat used to like to drink from running water,
especially the bathroom sink. We "cured" her of that by just leaving a
cup of water on the sink for her. She'd take her paw and try to "bring"
the water to her.

 RH> Here it's cool headed for cold.  Fitting, since I've got my annual

I wore my heavy winter coat for the first time Thursday night, again
this morning while out at the farmer's market. But, by the end of next
week, it's supposed to be in the mid/upper 60s.

Better late than never.

 RH> Same here.  This was before computers were common.

When I was an undergrad, computers took up a good sized room. Most
everything was done by keypunch.

Exactly!
