Contrary to popular notion, truck drivers know nothing about good restaurants. If you want a reliable tip, drive into a town, go to the nearest appliance store and seek out the dishwasher repair man. He spends a lot of time in restaurant kitchens and usually has strong opinions about them.

Saturday Quotes
Cat Haiku
In deep sleep hear sound
Cat vomit hairball somewhere.
Will find in morning.
(With your foot. You will find it in the dark, with your foot)
You're always typing
Well, let's see you ignore me
Sitting on your hands.
(as I feed my hands around Coda's body, to reach my mouse)
We're almost equals
I purr to show I love you
Want to smell my butt?
(trying to duck out of the way. . .)
I have to stop now, and pick up the cat and pet him, because he keeps walking on the keyboard.
Excuse me.

Saturday Quotes
When he shall die
Take him and cut him out in little stars
And he will make the face of heav'n so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.
William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

Saturday Quotes
Once again we find ourselves enmeshed in the Holiday Season, that very special time of year when we join with our loved ones in sharing centuries-old traditions such as trying to find a parking space at the mall. We traditionally do this in my family by driving around the parking lot until we see a shopper emerge from the mall, then we follow her, in very much the same spirit as the Three Wise Men, who 2,000 years ago followed a star, week after week, until it led them to a parking space.
- Dave Barry
I woke up from the most horrifying dream that it was Christmas Eve, and I had done no Christmas Shopping. I was tearing through a mall, buying random crap for people I don't even like much. Thankfully, parking was not a feature of my dream.

Saturday Quotes
For I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God. I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!
Job 19: 25-27
Amen.

When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightening, or in rain?

Fair is foul, and foul is fair, hover through the fog and filthy air.

One is never sure, watching two cats washing each other, whether it's affection,
the taste, or a trial run for the jugular.

Snow and adolescence are the only problems that disappear if you ignore them long enough.

Saturday Quotes
The computer was not fixed. I have a new hard drive, and will have to find time to take everything off the old one. Half of my drivers were missing, and my resolution is absolutely bizzare, but I can finally connect to the internet, and I have email.
Perhaps the most astonishing thing, as I am $200 or thereabouts into this whole fiasco, is that I find myself saying, over and over, "at least my data isn't gone".
My computer exploded on Thursday, and I am thankful for the priveledge of being able to install my own hard drive. That's something, Mr. Gates.
(and no, Mac users, smugly pointing out that your Mac is better isn't going to help. And if you do, I will become very cross and might delete your comment. I've had enough of that, thanks.)
Saturday Quotes
My green thumb came only as a result of the mistakes I made while learning to see things from the plant's point of view.
~H. Fred Ale
Saturday Quotes
When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. ~Author Unknown

Saturday Quotes
"Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased; pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow; raze out the written troubles of the brain; and with some sweet oblivious antidote cleanse the fraught bosom of that perilous stuff which weighs upon the heart?"
Yes Lady M, but not in the way you thought.

Saturday Quotes
Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.
- Henry David Thoreau
Saturday Quotes
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.
~ Henry Ford
The CPR guidelines have changed fairly dramatically. If you haven't taken a first aid course in the last 3 years, it's time for a refresher.

Let us repeat the two crucial negative premises as established firmly by all human experience:
(1) Words are not the things we are speaking about; and
(2) There is no such thing as an object in absolute isolation.

See those branches sticking up just a bit, at the bottom of the picture? Those are Explorer roses. They are probably about a foot high.
