Something To Keep In Mind
Everyone knows only half of what they don't know about other people and youse guys probably don't know half of that. Mea culpa. Mamaw's was a self inflicted wound with extenuating circumstances and sufficient,(subjectively and objectivly) provocation, but talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face!

October Surprise, The Writing On The Wall
1. McCain and Bush hug on tv. (What has McCain been promised?)
2. In late October, gasp, Chainey gives up his slot on doctor's orders. (For the sake of his family, his party, his beloved nation, and the world.
3. McCain is chosen to carry the banner. He bravely accepts the mantle of hero, for the good of his country.
4. A grateful nation flocks to vote for a war hero, forgetting all about the dweeb.
5. If this works, Chainey is on the inaugural platform with Bush and McCain. He gives the speech, promising to remain a close "advisor" to his beloved president, again for the sake of his beloved nation. (Haliburton is not mentioned aloud.)
6. Four years of watching McCain, along with dorkboy, dangle and jerk at the end of Chainey's steel link of strings.
7. In 2008 the Republican Party dumps McCain, after remembering his (McCain's) past waffling and lack of blind loyalty to the Bush/Chainey regime.
8. Jeb steps up and the dance begins again.
8a. koALa leaves the country.
9. Who wins, who loses? Hint. K Harris is again in charge of elections in Florida. Arnold rules California. Haliburton owns the arms community, the oil community, the banking community etc. The supremes are the same old gang.
10. Paranoid? Wait and see.

The Travels of OhMrLeonard
As at least EvaDewar and ....and.... Dizzy are aware, OML is looking for cheap airfare to get from what place to another in about a week. More details will be provided, I'm certain.

Uncle Elmer's "Change"
The hormone therapy seems to be going really well. The doctors are pleased with his progress, and think that he may be ready for surgery as early as Thanksgiving.
"Thanksgiving is for carving on a turkey, and I'm more of a swan!" said Elmer. He's still hoping "that pesky set will just drop off one night."
Well, I wouldn't hold your breath.
Speaking of holding your breath, Heather had her first swim meet last weekend. Of course, restraining order or no, Jimbo showed up drunk as a skunk, and they couldn't send off the 100 meter freestyle until deputy Egan escorted him away. Needless to say, Heather was aghast, but it didn't rattle her too bad. She finished 4th out of 11 swimmers.
Purnell is growing like a weed. Anybody know a safe way to stunt his growth, 'cause he may be too big for diapers before he's potty trained! Just kidding, I'm sure the little "episodes" will pass in time. Sally-Ann, remind me some time and I'll tell some funny tales about Ray-Ray from when he was a tyke. I wouldn't want to embarrass him out here in front of (what he calls) "the whole cyber community."
Mickey's Auction burned to the ground Tuesday morning early. If you ask me....well, ask me, and I'll tell you. I'll just say I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Ruth claims she had a mink coat and the Mona Lisa stored in the back office on the insurance reports.
Don't be a stranger.

More fun with Google
While I don't always notice the ads that are at the top of our little home here, every once in a while I'll notice that it has keyed on our conversations. Lately, there have been several ads for bat removal, for example.
Now for the funny: I'm not sure that it will be on the page when you read this, but one of the ads for me right now is for Pointless Web Sites. Kind of embarrassing that we triggered that particular search. I'll leave it to you to decide whose fault that is, but it occurs to me that mindlessly listing the states in which you've had a cup of coffee might qualify.

Got thinking about David's travels
Here is a map of my "visited states" in the US, to the best of my recollection. The states in red, are, obviously, those I've been to:
You can go here to do the same thing, if you're as boring as I am.
Here is an even more embarrassing display of my fear of the outside world. Create your own visited country map.

Daphne Mintz Smith
I found a piece by her about haiku on the web. Pretty interesting.

Booked
I´ve finally gotten my ticket. Barring a miracle, Crayola won´t be with me, although it´s possible that she may join a leg of the trip.
I´ll be in Chicago from next Wednesday, until about the 22nd.
If Gock is in Indy, I´d like to visit him for a few days: Do you have any time, at all? If not I´ll go straight to GA, and maybe see you on my way back, on or about the 5th of September.
I fly back from Chi-town on the 11th.
