Gweedo – It’s legal here !!! – Murray said, about 13 hours ago

A security guard at a mall in Charlotte rides one. He gave me ‘n Ed a lecture on it one day while my cousin John [Skip] was in the Apple store doing something about his eye-phone. -I noticed that ! And to think you could useta drive in here and watch the tumbleweeds roll by..-Family Guy is the Simpsons crazy uncle they keep in a room under the stairs.-Yes. His original show where he had this sort of quasi love affair with Pam Dawber as the wacked out spaceman was my first encounter with him. Never knew he would have such staying power. In the late ’90s I saw him in Jumanji. My mouth almost hit the floor at seeing him not goin’ all stupid ‘n stuff. I thought he pulled it off just fine. I was flippin’ channels when I hit it. Watched for a moment thinking, I would just move along. It really got my interest. -Just pulling your locket chain.-I guess we all have at least one high moment at schooling, ‘specially for those of us who don’t count it as our favorite place to be.-I saw some gray this evening. Wind picked up but no rain. It must have held back until it gets to you. -I wish you a NOT thirsty Thursday. I need dry so that I may paint the carport roof. My scheme to prevent the roofing grit getting washed off. Once you lose the grit the shingles are exposed to the weather directly. Finished getting the garden watering back right and did some weeding.__________________________________________________

There is a place called “Charlotte” ???-I never see any tumbleweeds over at Ballard Street although I only comment there when somebody I know has a birthday.-I think The Simpsons are more ‘classic’ than Family Guy, Probably because it started in 1989 and Family Guy started 10 years later.-I’ve been a big fan of Rowan Atkinson for so long. Unfortunately, Robin Williams was just a name I heard now and again, I never knew his work. I am pleased that he had so many fans though. He will be missed very much.-What was your high point in schooling then? Getting detentions? LOL. Sorry. Couldn’t help myself.-Speaking of grit, Sometime last winter, I was in front of my house and this grit spreading lorry whizzed past and threw grit everywhere. Some of it landed on me! -I got the shock of my life but it was pretty funny-Only one more day to go before it’s the best day of the week.
