Howdy. After a couple days of cool weather we are starting to head back into the 90's.

Sunday's Questions:
-Do you buy fruit from roadside fruit stands? No, but I buy from a farmers’ market.

-Have you ever made your own popsicles? Maybe when the kids were little

-Invent something that would help you cope with the hot weather. A gel filled neck roll that can be chilled in the freezer.

Questions To Get Around with:
-When was the last time you rode in a taxi? One week ago.

-Have you ever used Uber to get somewhere? Yesterday.

-Have you ever ridden the bus on a regular basis to get to work? Many, many years ago.

-Have you ever taken a ferry where you drive your car on the ferry and then stay in the car? I think so, but memory is hazy.

Leftover Questions Stored On My Computer:
-Ever visited a ghost town? No.

-Do you like green olives stuffed with garlic or blue cheese? Yes, although I love Kalamata olives the best.

Today Is NOT:
-Enjoy Yucky Veggies Day Well, good! I only want to enjoy fresh veggies today.


Once again these questions have not been checked. The English teacher from two weeks ago said she would check them if I took her out to dinner. Things were looking good until she heard me tell the waiter I wanted separate checks for our meals.

Howdy. After a couple days of cool weather we are starting to head back into the 90's.

Sunday's Questions:
-Do you buy fruit from roadside fruit stands? - Hmm.... sort of.. a guy got angry and tossed apples at my car as I drove by his fruit stand... - Maybe once or twice..

-Have you ever made your own popsicles? - Yeah.. they were called Flop-Sickles...

-Invent something that would help you cope with the hot weather. - A Wet T-shirt, hey it works perfectly well when power is out and no A/C..

Questions To Get Around with:
-When was the last time you rode in a taxi? - Can't remember...

-Have you ever ridden the bus on a regular basis to get to work? - Nope..

-Have you ever taken a ferry where you drive your car on the ferry and then stay in the car? - Nah.. I tried to jump across the water at high speed because the ferry was expensive... - No ferries here, anywhere in Arizona..

Leftover Questions Stored On My Computer:

Sunday's Questions:
-Do you buy fruit from roadside fruit stands? I have in the past.

-Have you ever made your own popsicles? Yep.

-Invent something that would help you cope with the hot weather. Hmm. The only thing that comes to mind was a tarp-enclosed shower with sun-heated water for bathing each evening while working two weeks at a time in the hot desert of SE New Mexico many years ago. Everyone laughed at the device until they realized I was the only one who could sit downwind from myself in the evenings around the campfire.

While also working as a student in the Chihuahuan desert, I constructed a sun roof for the University's 1940s Willys Jeep. The topper was made from wooden tomato stakes covered in orange parachute material and it worked well to keep most of the hot noonday sun off our heads.



Questions To Get Around with:

-When was the last time you rode in a taxi? That was in the very early 1980s while traveling for the government. Can't remember the place.

-Have you ever used Uber to get somewhere? Nope. The last time I rode in a cab, the two founders of Uber were just babies.

-Have you ever ridden the bus on a regular basis to get to work? No Not even on temporary work assignments. I did have to ride a train each day to work when I worked temporarily in South America.

-Have you ever taken a ferry where you drive your car on the ferry and then stay in the car? We rode the ferry at New Orleans several times while living there but only for fun. It went from the bottom of Canal Street to Algiers Point.

Leftover Questions Stored On My Computer:

-Ever visited a ghost town? Sure. I have a relative buried at Taiban, NM where Pat Garrett captured Billy the Kid and his associates on December 23, 1880. The only thing just about left in Taiban is the old Presbyterian church building. (See attached pic.)

However, all one has to do is to randomly drive around the Texas and New Mexico South Plains to see ghost towns or towns in danger of becoming one.


-Do you like green olives stuffed with garlic or blue cheese? Probably since I like olives.


Great questions Mutt.

Wishing everyone a restful Sunday.

MMM kale fresh from the garden. I'll steam some for you and saute it with olive oil and garlic. You'll like it. Or baked kale chips with olive oil and garlic powder. Even better We made stuffed green peppers with quinoa, zucchini, yellow squash, onion, mushrooms and garden tomatoes. It was to die for good. We had fresh steamed broccoli yesterday, fried eggplant and fresh green beans. . You don't know what you're missing Mutt. I love eating out of the garden. MMM zucchini bread next with nuts and made with apple sauce. Yum!

Thanks Mutt. I have to use the traction brace and I don't want to. It's nice being pain free. That's an endless cycle of stretch, pain, feel good, stretch pain. Those 6 screws in the radius by the wrist are one of the problems. It swells a lot. Next Friday will be 12 weeks post op. I've come a long way. I'll be on my bike soon.
