But, hey, iffen i melt into a putrid puddle, so what? MARGARET HAMILTON didn't mind it much. Hydrate & hang loose...

Mondé...back on the bus. It wasn't as bad on the Yard as Saterdé becos there was a mild breeze and occasional cloud covre. Oh! And the bus sign on the free=way has been straightened out AND 'they' left a green plastic milk=carton for me to rest my haunches on. Good folloes good! {no=one can complain of the aer=conditioning on mass transit}

Internationally~the POPE is wrapping up his tour of AUSTRALIA. There is a [war] tribunal getting undre way at Gitmo; the werld court [?] has laid they hands on Radovan Kradzic [some=one do a Serbian spellcheck for me]. These^ last two (2) items are mostly good news for Justice/Jurisprudence...bin Laden's driver and bodyguard gets his 'day in court', so=to=speak, AND a genocidal fugitif has been taken offen the streets. Bettre things could eventually happen!  ~the globally optimisticle slac~

There was holydé congestion on the roads in DELAWARE, but we wriggled around it mostly. ^reposited from recent^ Tuesday, July 15th... the brothers have recovered from the Sojourn and have settled into Walley Wisitation mode.{There is so much to do, here, actual=presently}The engineer is fixing each and every doubtful thing and machine in his inimitable manner, including the faulty/fickle fuel=forcer on the black beauty. [she< reminds me of the green ghost on either of their best dés!?] The screendoor leading to my lanai is functioning Perfekt!

Meanstwhile, in the larger werld~money is Tight, Xpecially for the national banking industry [we cannot call it an out=bail] AND the legislateurs from PENNSY who found themselves in cuffs 'cos they believed Our cash belonged to them to do with whatever they pleased [we can call this^ bonusgate]. Corruption begets corruption...even in a Democratik administration; ask the Governor. id est, after the Lama leaves & after the amazing National Conventions leading to the general elect, Keystoners schtill must hold a CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION to clean haus, hoping it leads to a federal Constitutional Convention. {i am a small Person with small ideas} Thank G i ain't politicle.

Toward the Transformation of All things.  Mood: breezy, not tornadic Sound: street noise Thot: "My garden is not as good as many others..."

Reposit! i don't even have a garden, currently. Thorsday, July 10th, and8...LHAMO THONDUP is coming! TENZIN GYATSO is coming! The DALAI LAMA is coming! {CAT is going to see him and i am jel.} JESSE HELMS did not have as good an Independence day as the rest of us. i pray he sleeps well. Truly.

HOLIDAY TRAFFIK, part three...Notes in closing. There was a pool at the first motel We stayed at, overnight, in Virginia Beach; we didn't schwim in it. "Enjoy the Joy of Others", read a cherch marquee near the dismal swamp. ALAN & LAURA, MAISY & BABALOO arrived nearly simultaneously at the motel in Carteret County. ALAN brot me a sombrero from Mexico which i didn't remembre asking him for. It's a little small for my skull, but it is less=the=none a prized possession that i will cherish ever On=ward. OH! When the Colonel first joined us in KATE's suite he noted the Presence of the Fierce Five and said,"Watch out for the lightning strikes." Later, he turned down an offer of cold wine [the Virginians, Kate & Harry, won't travel without vino] by saying,"Only ifya spell wine, B.E.E.R." i accommodated. At the DIVE dinner, i sketched a seating chart like i always do; Kate made sure i shared it with LAURA. {i also showed it to each table's senior membres, in case they wondered about my note=taking} Cousine SARAH challenged me to arm=wrassle at one of those pool parties. i lost first with my right arm & then with my left, but i won a right rematch.

Somehow~Rocky achieved an Xtra breakfast on the dé of the Party, even 'tho she schlept in. It's a mischievous Fortune which rarely visits the Lazy. The dee=jay at the cherch=hall played DANNY BOY by BING CROSBY, of course. Out of my range... The infants were delightful--cousine Maisy's LILAH and cousine Shannon's FINN. These^ precious ones will be hosting Parties such as this when i am Past caring about 'em. Eh~it's the natural cycle of things. {i wondre what, if any=thing, they will remembre they=selves about Independence Dé millennial8}The Lucius J. Kellam, Junior bridge-tunnel was clear andbright on the southbound & only a little hazy on the northbound. We (four) did schtop to admire the SEAGULL PIER and its riprap on the journey Home. Once again~othres will Amembre greater and bettre schtories of the traversement. Twas Ever Thus! ~the slightly less humidified, ~slac~

It is Possible to sleep four persons to a room with inflatable beds, but it is very much like bunking in a Japanese tea=haus. *zzzzz* ^reposited from yesterdé^

Wednesday, July 9th, `8...HOLIDAY TRAFFIK part two..There were beaucoups de pizzas at that final pool party. It was all the younger cousins who were schwimming into the dusk.  BABALOO observed a small frog inching its way toward the chlorinated pond; i prevented it from  entering that large body of water. OH! But the good Lord decided to send a lightning schtorm toward the party, curtailing the wild debauche! "Evybody outta the Poool," i shouted loudly as the parents were already corraling their charges.

KAY and her life=partner were kind enuf to let me flop on the bed vacated by ALAN and his date; it relieved some of the pressure on the engineer's hausing unit. Bright and early, agin, and with cold cheese pizza in our gullets, the four (4) macs piled into black beauty to sally NorthWise toward PENNSY. In Windsor, NC, the engineer permitted me to drife as good as i do, until he Piloted in reverse for the bridges & tunnels [3/2] of the CHESAPEAKE BAY. {i haf driven the CBBT afore but i acquired no tunnels on this^ traverse} We schtoppt for lunch at the TRAWLER restaurant & lounge and were served by the nicest Waiter i have ever met [JEFF]! He brewed fresh coffee just for me, it seemed...

i drofe again from VIRGINNY into MARYLAND until we gassed up in Salisbury, where anothre cloud=burst temporarily schlowed the Turtle. There was holydé congestion on the roads in DELAWARE, but we wriggled around it mostly. Short=story=Long~the itinerant Brothres droppt Rocky & Blade at their cat=filled abode, called MAISY [matriarch pro tem] to inform her of our Amazingly Successful retourn & promptly fell into a decompressif mode from 'the greatest birfdé party ever held.' Needles=to=say, we feltquite funky on Mondé AND it rained agin on me as i walkt from the bus onto the Parish.  {if i were a suspicious person, i might believe that G & J were Sending thundre=clouds and pour=downs to Accent my travels...i ain't}

Othres of the group shall haf more and bettre schtories & Remembrances to tell & embellish, but i'll be happy enuf to receive the wonderful Fotoes from any & all AS they feed my desk. Wherever there is dancing, slac will Participate.

- - - - - -repost- - - - -Ack! i sure was full of myself 365 days ago. On the [number] anniversary if i recall correctly. I've mellowed.[Monday, 11th of July, 2005]

Tuesdé, 8th of July, 2008...

TITLE: HOLIDAY TRAFFIK

MOOD: slightly out=worn

NOISE: cd/radio in black beauty

WEATHRE: Hot & schticky, 86°f

NOTE: [That torch i did is making the rounds, again. Happy Anniversary!]

THOT: "But it's not a contest."

TEXT: There We were, on the hottest dang day of the year, cruising on an eight=lane SuperHighwé in Delaware...i'm gonna skip that part and remembre instead the delightful lunch that Brittany served us at José's Border Café. We were four (4) south=bounders on the Thersday before INDEPENDENCE Day.  The engineer piloted and i navigated while Rocky & Blade entertained their selves in the backseat. Timely.

We departed VIRGINNY bright and early on the Fourth and made it to Carteret County afore noon. i was Determined to schwim in that motel pool; little did i suss that COUSIN MICHAEL would ferry us to the Silver Creek motel as well. *splush*  Later~27 hungry fambly membres swarmed over a country bar called The Dive [the Hard Times Café].  {cook had to be re=called}

It is Possible to sleep four persons to a room with inflatable beds, but it is very much like bunking in a Japanese tea=haus. *zzzzz*

In a CAROLINA cherch=hall, on the second hottest dé of the Year, a conglomerate of Daniel Henry's friends and relations fêted himself on the Remembrance of his Entrance.  {i will not say how young my Uncle is, but there was probly one guest there for every year of his life!} And we danced, fervently, after consuming barbecue & Fried chicken.  Also~there was a slide=show AND short emotional speeches for the birfdé boy that rarely bordered on tears. [i spoke for the Fierce Five]. Then~yet anothrepool party!  More amorro about the Sundé drive Home...  ~five colony slac~

Remains to be Seen, a reposit: [edited>] There might could be a budget in these parts.  So, it's a month byond & late for the seventh time. All the new people We VOTE in may will shall possibly get it done for real next year. Place your bets. Casinoes!  BILLY BLAINE said something the othre day about his wife being,"the most qualified non=incumbent" in the Democratic field.  It begs the question of what one means by 'incumbency'. OR lame=duckness, even.

i sussed out finally the Cause of global warming. It's AL GORE, Junior. WE didn't have an inter=web afore he invented it AND we've never had a climate crisis until AL pointed it out to us in his movie! [edited]

SOOP: chili actually, for the Hot week=end

TITLE: REPTILIAN ITINERATIONS

MOOD: my mood is Summerific, anticipable

PUXXLE: perfect [after four previous failures]

ANAGRAMs: teas=sate=seat=tase=east

MUSIK: Steppenwolf & such, on reel...

WIDEO: not reality/game=shows ever

TEXT: Thursday, June Twenty=Sixth...Roberto & Yolanda are moving to GEORGIA with their bird. They've only lived in this Gracious building for three (3) months, but i will miss them. {love thy neighbours~it's in a book somewhere} Yesterdé was busy again for a Wezné at the Parish and one of my cuddies was schtung by a yellowjacket.  [they build small nests on the roll-offs.]  Much averse as i am to harming Any of the natural creatures, i schprayed the small nest with chemicals and killed them. Forgif!

The cure for bee=stings is simple IF one is not Xtremely allergic in the first place...(1) Remove the stinger if it can be found (2) Apply ICE or a cold compress to the area to reduce any Swelling & (3) Refrain from scratching the bite as this only increases the histamine reaction. [slac is neither fysician nor boy=scout^] Hint: avoid biting insects!

The tatium striatus was playing Hide & Seek with me around the boof yesterdé as well.  Its cheeks were full of something~but i left it anothre carrot from my schnackbag. The ground=squirl is NOT a domesticable animal, but they are fun to observe in their environs.

Speaking of creatures, the Turtle is drifing from NEVADA to INDIANA in the black beauty.  And, after visiting the Lizard [who is also in transit], he will Retourn to the land of his birf.  {they say there are no migratory patterns in the movements of humankind}  Regardless of much, i'll be glad to have him around for the schtart of anothre windy summer! Brothers! Ya gotta love 'em iffen ya haven't killed them outright during childhood. And othre things.

~that reluctantly bee=killing slac~

Truth be told...i like wading in the shallow end of the collectif Pool. Floating lazily, not splashing the other children unduly...{It's a fine Day to posit the Schwim theme} ^reposited^

SunDé, June 22nd, `8...Cuddie GARY was aside his=self yesterdé on accounta the quarry he likes to visit has fallen into Private ownership. Officer EDWARD askt me about my bus=schtop on accounta the Young man retourning a lost purse at the grox=schtore may've lifted a camera and a fone=cell from it. [i personally believe the items mighta disappeared while the hand=bag was alone.] Fame! Notoriety!  They^ come at me unbiddenèd while i go about my odrinary bidness in the grasping view of surveillance machines! Co=werker CLEM was kind enuf to drop me in Town after anothre busy Saterdé. ROCKY called me later to make sure i made it Home...{such an Angelic niece all should have}

Of gourse~the chippy also made its Presence known. i left it a coupla veggies for its hollow cheeks. There is a new young couple in the lower Apt; i've met them bof by natural Accident. i prefer to have some noise undre my feet, rather than Quietude.  A very productif & remarkable first Summer weekend, i think. Many blessings...

Monday, June 23rd, oh=eight...what will we do without GEORGE CARLIN to point out our collectif Ridiculosity? i spose we'll manage.  The bus was not crowded todé but the AC was icy cool. At least on the inbound. The chippy saw me off in the woods for the outbound. [it ate the carrot i gave it but left the celery alone] My neighbours in unit #2 are Young & bright. Iffen the wind dies down and the rivers settle, i believe it's gonna be a good summer. Happy Joy, Turtle!   ~tannable slac~

Altho' i'm not given to following the punditry, i believe i shall miss TIM RUSSERT on account of he wasn't very Xtreme toward either side. G speed^  Yesterdé was flag day, but i was busy, busy at the Yard uberfilling the bins with storm damage and what=not. AND, making stern Correxions to the infrequent 'Independent Thinkers' who clog the lines with a sense of entitlement. {werk smart not hard, i often say} Schteamy saterdé.  i pledge Allegiance to my Flag, and the republic for which it stands~One Nation,indivisible, with Liberty & Justice for All.  Bueño Dìaz de Los Padres, evybody! Dads are wonderful to have around the House, Xpecially iffen they Paid for it. [the Haus]  My Pop continues to molecularly reassemble betwixt the STRAITS OF HORMUZ and the AMAZON DELTA...with scant atomic visits land=wise thru evaporation & condensation.  But i know Xactly where the old Salt's bride is Reclining...i'll see 'em bof in rapture.  The stimulus money that King George sent me has long been schpent on odrinary things.  Three (3) gasoline Companies have mailed me pre=approved appliqués for credit cards...very nice for some=one who currently doesn't own a horse=less carriage! {slac lives to bus}  Monday, June 16th, and8...we did quite well again today filling the roll=offs. [Mondé is rarely this active] The chipmunk was waiting for me at the Office--the main one, not my boof.  The rain held off until i got Home to recycle my own schtuff. JASON was watching a ball=base game from his parapet and i'm not sure if the young ones got the game "all in". No matter, TIGER WOODS had a remarkable game of his own. Oh! PORTIA de ROSSI and MISTER SULU are getting married! [just not to each othre]  Cooler weathre Amorro...>slac<

Where in the name of Sarah Drew was i? OH~Yeah...mind the Tenses. It was hotter than the hasps on the hinges of Hades. [The day was Sultry.]  [^reposited & edited>...]

Friday, June 10, 2005...Has anybody else noticed the gas=lines reminiscent of 1973?  People are waiting in two deep lengths to fill up their tanks in the Heat of the day. [That's bad 4 the ground-lying Ozone.]  Less=the=never, it's long past time for us to cogitate these impending scenarios. Energy!  My Pop knew it was finite when he graduated college. Ever more the much=so today.

Tuesdé, June Tenth, and8...on Saterdé, i saw two (2) carcasses on the Way home--one a Possum and t'othre a Deer. The flies were Feasting. {all Flesh fails} Yester, my Parish thermometre read 111°.  [it's mounted on my chain=link fence, in direct sunlight.] Needles to Say~i consumed plenty of ice water & Avoided old man SOL!  At least the bus=rides were Free.  OH! And Master chipmunk made several Appearances for fun...The Eastern oppression should end tonight. ~cool=as=cuke~slac~
