Sure wish I was in south AZ, got down to 43 here in NW AL. Guess I will
have to winterize the RV sooner than I expected. Hard to comprehend that
I have to face freezing weather after all the plans I had for migrating
with the most of you guys.

By the way you fine folks that likes to keep their heads in the sand, I
morphed your filters again because I had to get a new Newsgroup ISP,
seems as though the old one was not posting on this new Vista POS.

Hey! It was 46 here yesterday morning but 80 by lunch time. Love this
weather. Humidity at 3 PM was 11%, temperature 83 degrees.

It doesn't get any better than this folks, unless there is a place that
includes free beer.

That would be here. It got down to 46 at 5 AM, and it's 75 now. I
bought Dogs yesterday, but the humidity is about 35%.

Hi from southern AZ. It's still a little warm during the day, but cool
at night. Great for a walk and sitting outside. We sleep with the doors
open and screen doors shut. The dog likes to lay at the front door until
about midnight, then to bed.

Just curious: How many eggs does the dog usually produce in one evening?

You wouldn't like the eggs he lays.

This already appears to be one strange dog, but wouldn't it be the
eggs *she* lays? And how do you know GB wouldn't like them? Inquiring minds
want to know.

I've heard about those inquiring minds, apt to get you in trouble if
they persist. Don't think I would care for those eggs regardless he or she.

Doesn't matter. The dog's probably an egg-eater.

I'm thinking the dog (he or she) will lay the same type "eggs" my dog "lays"
not long after she eats.
I call them "land mines"; my wife refers to them as "deposits".
I think GB would recognize the difference between dog "eggs" and the poultry
type.
(This all started with the confusion between "lie" and "lay".)

I thought dogs "sucked" eggs. That's what Johnny Cash said.

Hey, I have a reputation to uphold. And occasionally I have competition

It always makes me sad to see Summer come to an end. The leaves are
turning, and falling, now on the Central Coast.
Last week, we had our first frost, but at least we've had some rain!
There's nice things about the Fall, but Summer's end gives me a
melancholy feeling that lasts until around Thanksgiving!

There's a skeet shooting club in Bridgeport, CT.

On the ladies room door it says, "Setters"

On the men's room door it says, "Pointers"

For a person in your line of work, this is a Good Thing. Without that
annual experience, you wouldn't be qualified to write blues songs.
You need to work on extending your fall melancholy into full-blown SAD,

and then you could be right up - or down - there with Elton John.

The local Isaac Walton League chapter has _pictures_ of the breeds on the

No words at all.

So what you are saying is Don should be able to write a SAD song right.
Well he does have some song writing skills, but can't improve them until
he improves ability to accept advice with out taking it as being criticized.

Besides posting lyrics to a Willie Nelson song, what "advice" have
you offered about song writing?
I used to treat my SAD with a couple of Winter trips per year down to
some tropical location, like Mexico, or Costa Rica.....
However, I was also getting away from the "priz biz" which was quite
depressing any time of year! HawHawHaw!
Since I've retired, there's nothing to "get away from" besides
Winter, which isn't all that bad in this part of California, anyway!
Remember, no matter how far one travels, one can never run away from
one's self, or something like that!

Well, good luck with that thought. Prison guards aren't too used to
being given advice you know. None they would accept anyway. :)

Most of it is probably pretty vulgar and involves impossible feats of
dexterity. :)

I thought I was clear by stating for you to take the best part of your
lyrics in a song and repeat them rather than have your story continuous.
The lyrics were fine just enough for more than one song. Read all the
greats, they repeat their selves making the story more comprehensive.
A good song writer never retires!

http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/campbell-glen/rhinestone-cowboy-656.html

Some examples here can be seen to repeat their lyrics.

No criticism is intended by this advice.
