Thanks, niKa. Very moving.

niKa, prayers, you got it. Igotout, when you going to the Grand Canyon? will you be driving between Vegas and the Canyon? Will you be stopping in Flagstaff?

That salt covenant, is that for margaritas or coronas? So glad to have found all these strange and stranger people (I used to be able to play "stranger in the night" on a telephone dial pad)... and remember Charlie LeCount teaching me to play the trombone...without having to take the trouble of using a trombone to do so... But I digress. Many thanks for niKa, and Rev TT, and simonthebloated, and all the rest. Peace dudes, and dudettes. btw, on the subject of stuff up the nose... my brother's sibling once put beer nuts in his nostrils (that was me, and it earned me a trip to the ER.

It's been over 110 here today, and it's not a dry one, 'cause I had to switch from evap cooler to A/C. And we had an ozone alert because we are bad stewards of our environment. Mas cervesa... and make sure there's lime to go with it, pls. Hope yer finding easy ways to keep the gang cool in Okie land.

Excie, I have an extra powerball ticket from last week that I don't need anymore, you can have that one if you want... TS... the "BOB" indeed. They been playin some serious basaballa there lately... so say the Shea hey kid. And if I win tonight, I will sponsor a 9th corps shindig (in to cool country somewhere where there aren't any burning trees).

Yeah Simeon, how about them Daimonbacks, eh? They ARE ahead in the wild spirit race now in the NL. I also got the impression niKa knew more about Randy G than she was telling us... but HOW on this earth can you even suggest that Excie has her head anywhere but where it should be, in the Grateness of the Verd! And Simeon, remember this -- MAS Cerveza...except right before the drive down to Tucson in 10 days.

Ah niKa, it does indeed. It's STUFF. Some stuff grows back (Yippie), and that part is actually quite awesome. But it sure helps us with images of what doesn't grow back, the folks, that is. I'm reminded of what's happening in Washington, where once rumbled the mighty and explosive power, with dramatic ash and all, Mt. St. Helens. Anyway, GO DIAMONDBACKS! They were down 5-0 tonight and are now, in the 7th inning, ahead 13-6. One young man has hit 3 home runs and 7 rbi's. See y'all in October baseball! (sorry about the excitement, baseball fans).

"It's a dry heat" -- is that code for "I'm not sure what it feels like, but someone said it shouldn't be that bad?" If so, consider this -- the fire on Mt Lemmon, still going after all these weeks (nearly 3, btw) -- and niKa, I know you know Mt. Lemmon, and Tucson -- the fire is, as they say in "Hotshots" jargon, "laying down." Attempts to have preventative "controlled" burns in low lying grass areas, where catastrophic pine crown fires can be prevented, are NOT burning -- because the humidity is rising. And my evaporative cooler was not putting out very cold air last night at bed time. So, as for me and my heat, well, it's not staying dry and might need depends. So, YES -- Mas Cerveza

Ah, Professor, that was wonderful and enlightening, sorry for my mistake in not clarifying which of Rev Tuttle's words I meant. It was Mr. T's prophesy immediately before that one that was such a puzzlement to me. Perhaps I simply don't have ears to hear or eyes to see the fullness of that hot pnuema. But thank you niKa for sharing about your family history, it is noble and wonderful. Thank you very much. [This message was edited by Rocky on July 06, 2003 at 19:57.]

Rev. T, didn't someone forget to bring forth the interpretation of your tongues?

I met (but had not "come to know") Eduardo DiNoto, and I met Carlos Araoz, but I really like a mexican food ristorante called Chicos Tacos, and my favorite menu item is Arroz con Pollo, but withhold the sour cream.

tnk you exxie, glad it brought a smile to ya....,,,,

comma comma comma comma comm comm. hey hey hey.

mary cate, tell ashley we said hello.

Thank God, the word of Tuttle reveals that God is a liberal! Amen and Amen. And happy Red, White and Blue blooded Fourth of JewLie to y'all! Lo shanta, malaca SEETA, koshanti.

Oh Tom, you vant HOT? Ask Simon the Zealot about HOT. Why he works out in it, and on surfaces that I can only imagine must feel like he's already been tried in the furnace of hell! But me? Ha, I work in an air conditioned building and complain about the heat whenever I leave for the day.

"Show some leg..." Is that a euphamism? :D-->

Oh, Exxie, thou reproveth thyself ok now... eh? And yes, TS, nice to see you too. On L.E.A.D....seaux laux...sow board... sleep, sleep, hunger, sleep...zzzz [This message was edited by Rocky on June 30, 2003 at 23:53.]

In a sense of the word...

Tommy U.R. So. Strange, I finally figured out what you meant by PT. So, I checked my private topics... Now I feel important too. Thnks. Ft.Worth for a brief time in 1976-77, after end of military service... then moved on to OK (Lawton/Ft. Sill), Phx, and Los Angeles before Euphoria. Now in Phx area, as is SimonZ. I have other clues if you'll need them. [This message was edited by Rocky on June 29, 2003 at 1:24.]

http://donotcall.gov early reports had it receiving 1K hits/sec. I got through about an hour ago. YeaH!!!

Tom, How bad is it behind the curtain? And SimonVanna, you may not have a U. And who is this too gray character? And btw, TS, do you know who any of us are?

Oh, Ex, Dr. Strangelove isn't really that tall, and when I knew him in Ft. Worth and Emphoria, his hair was much lighter than jet black. Right, DW? And of course, we all love to hate the borscht in our past. And lest Loy Tuttle check the time on my post, it's just after 9pm here in the land of firey pines.

And Davie, it's about time you joined the fellowship of the brats!

So, Meester Wheelson, how is TAXess? And have you been in contact with the Warbler (now in Colorado, me thinks) in the last 20 or so years?
