"What suns!" said Watson and The Invisible Bisons

I am sitting on the couch reading a wikipedia article about author Mickey Spillane. Cooper wants to sit beside me, so I move a pillow out of his way. When I look back at the screen of my iPad it has changed to the Russian version, Мікі Спіллейн. I think, there must be sum+thin special goin' on (and off).

Today I went buffalo hunting.

From outerspace.

I know where buffalo live inside Amarillo, so I used Google Earth to search for them.

I was not successful.

-----

I have moved on to 6.1 sigma.

Cooper slipped on something coming in the back door, and in his scramble to regain his footing his left front claws landed on top of my bare right foot, big ouch! No pineapple plants were seriously injured in the ruckus, just slightly tilted.

New Toys: DB'ing in Java with NetBeans

(no, that has nothing to do with grinding coffee beans or brewing a cup.)

I wrote something here but then erased it. Sorry. Maybe it wiLL return in an altered acceptable formation. ActuaLLy I didn't erase it, I cut it then pasted it somewhere else. So that word 'erased' in the first sentence is wrong but now I can't erase that erased without erasing aLL this. I should quit and make soup ... At least I removed the eXtra s from the word ssomewhere, you can find it somewhere else earlier in this status.

(From two days ago)

I just woke up a few minutes ago after falling asleep on the couch. I yelled reaLLy loud because I wasn't eXpecting Cooper to be standing there with his nose almost touching mine! My loud burst of noise didn't seem to phase him and I think he actuaLLy smiled. I think he was afraid of the thunder outside .... I am off to see if it actuaLLy rained. Silly dog.

No.

(From three days ago)

After trying to not watch "Chopped" ...(the Food Channel)... ...(against my wiLL)... I am headed to the kitchen to make chili cheese hot dogs ...

Ha! - A new episode started just as I was getting my stuff out of the frig, and what were they cooking on Chopped? Hot Dogs! Firemen cooking hot dogs ...

Next round ... Now they are cooking bison! I am jealous ....

I slightly modified this reaLLy good joke:

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson were going camping. They pitched their tent under the stars and went to sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night Holmes woke Watson up and said: "Watson, look up at the sky, and tell me what you see."

Watson replied: "I see millions and millions of stars."

Holmes said: "And what do you deduce from that?"

Watson replied: "Well, if there are millions of stars, and if even a few of those have planets, it’s quite likely there are some planets like Earth out there. And if there are a few planets like Earth out there, there might also be life. AND that life might have advanced enough so that its creatures go camping and they might be looking back at us asking the same questions!!!"

And Holmes said: "No, Watson, you idiot, it means that somebody stole our tent."

My wife was teLLing me a story from her business.

My response was, "baby, we belong in a world that must be strong, that's what dreams are made of." She responded with some short positive agreement, not realizing that I had given her a Van Halen lyric.

    I must leave soon to the diner for Saturday evening chatting. I also plan to write up my previous session at the diner while at the diner tonight. I hope that makes sense. It has been a long somewhat difficult day, after faLLing hard on the floor and landing on the object of my trip-ed-ness while veRy clearly knowing it was there. So I am sore but it was a good day also because I got to spend time with my favorite Lucy, who lives 40 miles away. I had not seen her in awhile so I was close to believing that she might have been imaginary. But she is real, I know this for sure because I sent her home with some of my German Chocolate Cake. I have made about six GCC cakes for other people in the last year, so I feel the need to incorporate and make $$$$$$.

  4. I've always liked that camping joke. It's been a few years since I've heard it.

    I like Wikipedia too. Look up one thing, then another, and then another and before you know it you're asleep. Or hungry.

  5. Julie: Big HI

    Arlee: I had neVer heard that joke before. I was talking to my wife and she didn't know who Groucho Marx was. But then I thought, Groucho had probably never heard of her either. I hope your part of California isn't on fire.

  6. No fires where I am. It's a very peaceful neighborhood. Nobody even burns dinner here.
