It would've cost more if I had it shipped the same day...so, I ordered it on a Friday, and they didn't deliver it until the following Wednesday. That's like the routine with the two seagull, Gertrude and Heathcliff (Red Skelton knows them well ). They were wondering where this carrier pigeon was, as he was late to show up. Well, the pigeon showed up, and he doesn't have a feather on him (gives a whole new meaning to being "naked as a jaybird" ). Well, he's walking people toed ...and the seagulls ask "What happened to you??". He said "It was the worst day of my life. I was flying too low over Beverly Hills, and got caught in the damnedest badmintion game you ever saw!!" . BM> Last Thursday we had rain-to-rain/snow-to-snow in the morning. Good BM> news is wasn't icy, though the slush didn't exactly give traction. BM> Decided not to shovel, figuring the crunchy snow was easier to walk on BM> that a smooth potentially icy driveway and sidewalk. Ended up most of BM> the walking/driving surfaces were essentially self-cleared by late BM> afternoon and the expected layer of ice for Friday morning didn't BM> occur. We'll have a few mornings below freezing here, but it looks like winter is behind us, as we get into tornado season. BM> That call for help shot should have been aimed! I thought I had the sights set right. BM> Here at the house the problem was the birds and squirrels getting too BM> friendly with the pole transformer in the back yard: peck-peck-BOOM! BM> Not a constant thing but enough it made sense to have more than a BM> bedside flashlight. The 'joke' was I was going to put the telephone BM> number to report a power outage on speed dial. (I did post the number BM> in larger print by a couple of telephones.) When one of those "fuses" on the line gets tripped, the lights get real bright for a half second, as there is a huge boom, then the lights go out. BM> So those burgers are KING sized?! Super Sized. Years ago, they were criticizing all the restaurants for promoting obsesity...but it's their choice if they want to devour six of the cheeseburgers in one shot!! BM> Running low on scratch paper are we? (Here we get a bit frugal and use BM> the blank back of junk mail letters for note paper. [Full page would BM> get cut into six's: three pieces from the 1/3 fold and then those in BM> half].) Never thought of it that way. I haven't printed that much lately. It's not the printer that costs, it's the ink cartridges. And, some are made to ONLY ACCEPT the name brand replacement ink cartridge...otherwise, the printer shuts down. Both Canon and Hewlitt Packard do that. Daryl ....
