Today

[Bighuey]

I cleaned the pigeon crap off of my porch. The little grey buggers raid my dog's food dish and dump all over everything. I wised up and moved the dish off the porch. Now all I have to do is to figure out a way to keep the little SOB's from eating the dog food, I can barely afford to feed the dog let alone the pigeons.

I'm just the guy you want to talk to. Although, considering your advanced years(anybody who was around during
sliced breads infancy is at least 140 years old, maybe more) I'd be surprised if you hadn't heard of this remedy for
pigeons. It rhymes with plop, plop, fizz, fizz. Alka Selzer. You crumble the tablets into bite-sized portions. Naturally,
the pigeons, who are real philistines(especially in matters of a culinary nature) gobble them right up. Considering
it's their last meal on earth, why not be magnanimous and provide a generous supply of water. As soon as the Alka
Selzer has reached critical mass, pigeons will start blowing up. If your as vindictive as I am, you'll play sonething like
the Anvil Chorus while your filming their departure. If you served with Genghis Khan or George Patton in another
lifetime, you're last shot will be of a blackboard proclaiming that LOTS of pigeons were sacrificed in the making of
this film.
You know I talked to a guy who says he knows you. I think he said his name was dinwit or dimwit, something like
that. He says if you apologize, he'll forgive you. Don't shoot me, i'm just the messenger.

I was helping to move an old bed out of my house today, and twisted my knee which is not in very good shape anyway. Its a little better with an Ace bandage and some 600 mg iboprofen. Its hell to get old and decripet.

Ohh Bighuey.... your not that old....

[Carla Hurst-Chandler]

((((HUGS))) Feel better soon...and BH...remember growing old beats the hell out of the alternative...

[Bighuey]

Its better today. At least I can walk on it without screaming in pain now. I should look on growing old like not getting older, but getting better. Thanks for the sympathy, guys.

Today is Australia day, the flags are flying, BBQ's cooking, beer flowing, People out on the water on top of Giant blow up thongs, ( or flip flops depending on where you live). Copious amounts of lammingtons, iced vo vo's and pavlovas eaten. Too hot for Tim Tams... Good day.

Today im freezing! Ireland has had a bad week of snow and sub zero temperatures and today its lashing rain and very bitter. Thankfully Waterford has escaped the snow but Im not moving from my comfy position of being in front of the laptop/tv for the day. Somebody wake me up when its Summer.....brrrr

[Bighuey]

I sure dont miss winter weather. Its raining here, its supposed to keep it up for a few days so I wont be going anywhere for a while, at least until the roads dry up and I can get out of my driveway. We need the rain, but it sure makes a mess of these roads, mud up to your knees. Good time to catch up on reading.

Today it is pouring with rain, 60km hour winds, Major weather system. Was Ok with it until I saw my local police and state emergency services starting to fill sandbags last night, That's not very encouraging. Still we are nice and dry on a hill, plenty of food, books and my laptop.

Today I went to check progress on a roof I'm doing. The neat thing about this job is I used to go past here as a kid on my way to Chicago on the Santa Fe line.

[Tralala]

I updated my resume, took crappy notes on a lecture for my Innovations in Business something-or-other class, spent some time with my son, went to the grocery store, watched the (relatively) new Gregg Araki movie (Kaboom), didn't watch Hawaii 5-0 'cause it was a rerun (and was heartbroken about it), choked on a rat, and logged in here. Not in that order.

Got up, took the brat out, brushed my teeth, made coffee, fired up my new propane heater, it kicks butt, it got up to 75 degrees in just a few minutes.

We are lucky we live on the range in our little town. By Saturday, if it is like the 2011 floods 60% of it will be underwater.

I hope your and your town are OK. We are on a small hill so are fine, my town was hammered in the 2009 floods and the Council put in measures so it wouldn't happen again. We had the highest rainfall (495mls) in NSW and the town did not flood. Council did a good job.
