Something is up in the Solar System we don't know about yet.
Last I heard the sun was getting cooler. Then again, big Al apparently
hasn't addressed that issue yet, so we have no scientific leadership in
that regard.


Bloody 'ell! I'm sure glad I swallowed that sip of coffee just before
reading your post, Swingy. Bwahahahaha!


Hehe ... it's about true, Bubba!


Something WeeGee said a couple weeks ago kept eating at me. He said
"Al Gore is totally irrelevant." While I wanted to agree with him, I
kept thinking "Well, he is to us, but he's still getting far too many
world headlines, being awarded (what used to be) prestigious awards,
and raking in tons of money for the bull**** he spews, even though he
doesn't _live_ the lifestyle he preaches. He should be shunned but he
isn't, he's practically -worshiped- globally. It's ghastly."


How was that old raconteur, WeeGee, doing? Saw where y'all had gotten
together. Good food and good wine involved, no doubt ...


Good food and no wine. I'm an ex-drunk with 24-1/2 years of sobriety
and other than his stash in the camper, no alky comes here, ever.


Haven't checked ... did he get his drive shaft/u-joint fixed? Have he
and Marilyn met up yet. Suspense, suspense!

Inquiring minds ... stay tuned.


Marilyn may have Christmas alone. (He's gonna be real late if things
keep going like they have.) I haven't seen his update today, hold
one.........OK, it looks as if he's siphoning the vineyards in Morelia
still, or maybe he's found a winery in Mexico City. No update
available since Monday, but I'm sure he found a u-joint, as Mexico is
full of other Chebby lovers, especially pickup drivers.

It looks like he's about halfway through his Mexico drive, at least
until they head south to Central America.

As I told him, I'm mighty glad he's not driving a jacked-up, tricked-
out, shiny, brand new pickup. He'd have lost it by now, I'll bet. In
the old beater, he's experiencing the friendly natives instead. This
is a good thing. I've been as far south as Purerto Vallarta, and the
Mexican people there are very friendly and nice; just great people.

I wish 'em luck!
