    Hullo all…. Back in the saddle again.

    I waved at some cars on my way here too….

    For some reason, as I walked along the sidewalk, they were honking and waving at ME….It made me so happy!

    OH! Maybe they like my new hat!I’m so proud of it….I thanked the Monkey before the turn…and Stel and Bev for working on it.

    And as I said there…. the Monkey is really the Head Grinder Operator….being the boss and all…but I love the hat!

    How come you guys know pcolli is back?

    I don’t see a post from him on either side of the turn…but I’ve been thinking it’s about time for him to return.

    Are you invisible, pcolli?

    Well…. time to go….Good job, little monkeys…Big Monkey will be proud!

    Always great, isn’t it, when he can hang around a bit more, like he did yesterday…sorry I couldn’t.

    In truth, it’s been nice to see everybody drifting back in….There have been a few more faces around on Ballard Street…. new and old…The Linguist is here again, and maybe pcolli too?

    Sorry I keep missing you, Red!And Shika… and Brian and Happy…. And BTW, Dry…. LOL….I wouldn’t have said it had I not known how old you were!

    Stel…. your farmer’s market tomatoes are still on the counter in the salon kitchen…. in the basket that says StelBel, of course.

    Bev I’ll TRY to save you some…. if they start getting too soft I’ll bring you more next Wednesday night.

    X… come on out of the shadows… LOL..

    To all of you, whoever reads this…thanks for stopping by…see you tomorrow… or later, if it’s morning for you!

    We have martinis when hubby comes home from work, but we don’t wave at cars – live on a cul-de-sac and there aren’t that many going by. Instead we wander around the garden checking out the flowers. A couple martinis and I can ignore the weeds.

    At our old house a mile from the Big House, we’d take a few beers and sit on the berm, laughing at the pre- and post-game traffic jams. Go Blue!

    Next time you drive by. WAVE BACK.We call it here “Drive Friendly, the TEXAS way.”Had one wave one time when I was on patrol. Made a traffic stop. He had to be checked out. Had to remind him to use his WHOLE hand. The middle finger was not enough. I just stopped him to make sure his hands worked properly.

    Barry waves at cars after a couple of martinis and Rusty Boy chases them when they slow down to wave back. Love the new chapeau Susan. You blend right in with theTiki Bar crowd.

    hey pcolli- i’ve been rousting dangly dora with thinly veiled accusations and innuendo regarding your absence. she’s finally surfaced in “editorial”, and refuses to come clean. apparently she is innocent of any prosecutable offense in your case, and with your permission i will stand down at this point. vigilantly yours…

    It’s Forget About It Friday at the Tiki today ! I even heard that Munky might by a round… forget about it !One thing you won’t have to forget about is : Achiote and beer marinated grilled steak (Bistec asado), which I am going to be grilling up for anyone who wants some. I am going to do both beef and yak steaks marinated in a spicy achiote-beer mix and then basted while grilling with a spicy jalapeño cilantro salsa then served with the same salsa as a topping.For those of you who don’t want red meat, I have a very nice turkey…er… chicken salad ( sorry Storm ). It is ripe avocados stuffed with a refreshing salad made with chicken, tomato, onion, cilantro, and lime.Have a ’Naner Daiquiri or two and Forget About It !

    Quite a party today. I just finished checking out that singer that Leaky mistook for me (over at DS). I would have no trouble doing her routine and (unlike her) I don’t need to cover my arms with fishnet (other parts if exposed, maybe, legs).

    I love your whole outfit, Susan; purple glitter in the hair works well on you with your dress. I would do blue glitter in mine and dress either blue or red. And I always liked to stroll with my lovely Cuddles. I may eventually take her to something ceremonial like our Crown Tourney (where the next King is elected as last man standing in an entense battle, and the ladies wear their best).

    I just realized I have an even better shot of Cuddles with the winner of one of those Tourneys. He later presented her with a scroll (calligraphy and illumination) as a member of the Royal Menagerie.

    Shika, I just think that you don’t understand the nuances of this new upgrade. When you click on “Refresh Comments” it appears to you as though you posted twice, when in fact you didn’t. The best way to refresh is to click on the browser refresh. Your comment will then appear as a single comment.

    If you try to delete what you think is a duplicate post, both posts will disappear. I know this from experience.

    Change is not necessarily for the better, especially where this site is concerned.
