Hey everyone! It is March 5th today where I live, here near the beach in Palm Beach county, Florida...it's about 59 degrees outside and the satellites are very visible as they are seen crossing the 'Big Dipper' asterism...a.k.a. Ursa Major. Spell checker is still absurdly changing proper words into stupidly nonsensical junk! Does City Data have a spell checker somewhere that I can change some of this. I don't think so. It's my darned Amazon Fire tablet. Grrr went the big bear (Ursa Major).

~ What Dr. Seuss stories were/are your favorites? (My favorite has always been 'Star bellied sneeches', a book that delightfully taught the lesson that everyone else that is different than you is just as good as you are.

~ Stick some stuff inside the big soft flour tortilla shell (burrito wrapper):

~ Do you subscribe to an antivirus thingy for your computing thingy?

~ Have you any cheese grater or do you buy pre-shredded?

~ A few things that you ate during the last week:

~ Have you ever seen what appeared to be a drug deal going on?

~ What sort of butter/margarine spreads do you have...oils?

~ Things you like to do in your free time?

*** Thank you! *** Have a mighty fine Fryday and weekend! ***

ground beef, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream.

Lately have been buying preshredded. Probably ought to get rid of the grater.

chili, mac and cheese, a few sandwiches.

~ What Dr. Seuss stories were/are your favorites? (My favorite has always been 'Star bellied sneeches', a book that delightfully taught the lesson that everyone else that is different than you is just as good as you are. Although I’m against book banning, I’ve never been a fan of Dr. Seuss books. Pre Covid, I read to a kindergarten every week. There were many old classic children’s books that were no longer appropriate, so I mostly avoided the oldies.

~ Stick some stuff inside the big soft flour tortilla shell (burrito wrapper): Refried beans, shredded pork, cheese, a bit of avocado, a squeeze of lime, hot fresh salsa, and some sour cream.

~ Do you subscribe to an antivirus thingy for your computing thingy? Probably on our laptop, but I just use my iPad.

~ Have you any cheese grater or do you buy pre-shredded? Yes and yes.

~ A few things that you ate during the last week:Fried chicken, meatloaf, a hamburger.

~ Have you ever seen what appeared to be a drug deal going on? No

~ What sort of butter/margarine spreads do you have...oils? Extra Virgin olive oil, whatever butter is on sale, canola oil. Imperial margarine and Crisco for some baking, and sometimes we use Smart Balance.

~ Things you like to do in your free time? Gardening, knitting and watching TV

(My favorite has always been 'Star bellied sneeches', a book that delightfully taught the lesson that everyone else that is different than you is just as good as you are. - I am not familiar with any of his books. I couldn't even tell you what Cat In The Hat is about.

~ Stick some stuff inside the big soft flour tortilla shell (burrito wrapper): - Spinach, mushrooms, cheese.

~ Do you subscribe to an antivirus thingy for your computing thingy? - Webroot.

~ Have you ever seen what appeared to be a drug deal going on? - I don't know if I consider marijuana a drug but I've seen that...

~ Things you like to do in your free time? - Play the horses (live horse racing) from my computer.
I do the best playing races at Charles Town, WV but also play Laurel Park in Maryland. Usually just those two in that order. I pick spots here and there and not a fanatic about it. Other than that I like to fix my own meals, walk for exercise, play on the internet especially watching YouTube, watch some progressive news programs, and regular TV.

Thanks, Roosty!
