It's 1930 hrs and I have to finish up nighttime chores before we hit
the sack. Everyone post well and don't worry about Jimmy Carter and
his make-shift houses. He's doing the best he can.

Alan gave you a perfectly lovely suggestion. In the off-chance that you have
him killfiled, (A) That is the goofiest thing you could possibly do since
Alan is one of the coolest posters on this froup, even perhaps *the* coolest
(IMHO) and if you censor him, you're just being silly; and (B) If you're
really truly looking for solutions to your pineapple dilemma, un-killfile
him immediately and read what he wrote.

Getting a read on the blurb
Effusive praise on book jackets can be heartfelt or of questionable
sincerity, so readers should beware
By Brandon Griggs
The Salt Lake Tribune
Article Last Updated: 04/26/2008 08:42:48 AM MDT

A ripping good read! A supercharged ride! A devilish page-turner!

"Scan the shelves of any bookstore and you'll find book jackets
adorned with breathless endorsements such as these - all taken from
actual covers - aimed at nudging the casual browser to pick up a book
and feel good about buying it."

I just noticed the allusion in Stane's name. Like Mark of Cain, it is the
blood that he can't wash off his hands. "Out, out damn spot."

Why is this guy pretending I didn't answer him? Does he have me
killfiled, like a total wuss?

Well then how does he expect to get decent answers?

  Warm and comfortable today

We should hit 84F today and somewhere around 68F tonite. But Saturday and
Sunday are forecasting 60F nites and low 80's for daytime with lower
humidity.

Just a smidgeon of rain in the report, and we are slightly behind so far
this year. Last year was a very wet spring and summer for us here in SE
Texas, so based on that experience we certainly are running behind.

Hurican season is about a month away, and dirt conractors are still bidding
on completely filling New Orleans with landfill material so as to some day
make it a viable, above sea level, "Chocolate community". I signed a pledge
to save my garbage and other trash for the project. Based on the hickey
that Houston took from all the human debris that showed up after Katrina
hit, we would be happy to send our disposable debris in that direction.

Wot's this thread about anyway?

LJS has great simulated fish chunks and reconstituted potato slices
that they fry in some kind of man-made cooking oil base. I usually
get a medium drink with artificial sweetner and some of their fake
slaw to go with it.

Back later.
