Hi Daryl!

 BM>She admired it but said they had some bigger ones.  What she did want to
 BM>do was rinse our hailstone off and eat it.  Showed her the dirt and said
 BM>there was dirt inside and that squashed that idea.  ...I guess would be
 BM>clean once rinsed but this hailstone had a bunch of dark speckles.
 DS>   You don't want to eat hailstones...period.

Too hard on the teeth?!


 BM>Just some cracks and chips on the vinyl siding and a couple of rips in
 BM>the slider's screen.
 DS>   Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama were pounded again last
 DS> night with tornadoes, etc. One storm near Pickwick, Mississippi,
 DS> had a doppler velocity signature of 150 mph and a debris ball.

(What do the call the newspaper there?  The Pickwick Paper!  Wonder if a
guy named Dickens is the editor?!)

As for that weather, not good.  Our little hailstorm up here was barely 
a footnote by comparison.


 BM> NB> too... Maybe a forerunner of today's sports drinks... ;)
 BM>It probably was!  ...We need to get our memories going and update the
 BM>Wikipedia article: it says Tiger's Milk is a nutrition bar from the
 BM>1960's,  I'm remembering it or something in a rectangular box (like cereal
 BM>comes in) -- a powder added to milk. not really recalling water, and I
 BM>think occasionally orange juice but that made it taste 'off' and gave a
 BM>gritty texture.
 DS>   Amazing that the University Of Florida created Gatorade for
 DS> their athletes...then either sold the rights to it, or allowed
 DS> folks to use it, with royalty payments.

I remember reading that.  Usually one thinks of a team of food
scientists in the bowels of a mega-corporation developing this.  Nope:
someone at home, or maybe the school's cafeteria mixing together a
concoction to help his team win.



 BM>Not too much flavour from plain shredded wheat!  Though I have munched
 BM>on the dry "little bales of hay" as I get kidded about and there is a
 BM>different taste when milk added.  Never got in to the sweet cereals - I
 BM>don't like the coated shredded wheat.  OTOH Corn Flakes taste bland plus
 BM>become a soggy mass so not really a fan of those either.  OMG: I _am_ a
 BM>picky eater!!!
 DS>   My friends dachshund LOVES the shredded wheat!! :P

I'm in good company!
