Why,yes.

They are.



Just got my hoof n' mouth,matter a fact.








That said---would like to take the time to thank a person who has been very kind to me for quite a while as well as 3 others who also have been very kind.


I don't want to ruin their reputations so they shall remain nameless,but they know who they are.




Update on the riddle: I can lay to rest the car and the hospital. They were distinct signs saying...the end,corroboration and a release.I'm pretty sure of that.The rest take up from there.That's where I am still stymied...and I think there are more coming.




It occured to me that one reason I am here is to make everyone feel better about themselves.

So that's something good.


I am making do by stealing water from someone I don't like. I hook up 150 feet of hose at 2 in the morning.

The heat has been a problem.Just my luck 4 of the first 6 days in April set all time record highs and now these last two nights including this one are dipping too close to freezing. What I have done for sleeping is moving to the floor of the den to take advantage of the scenery provided by the large bay window.There is a heat register there as well and I make sort of a tent like arrangement with the only blanket I have ,take the cover off the register and let the heat pump in.After about 30 minutes it's pretty hot.I then run like the dickens to the thermostat ,turn it way down...and run back.... very quickly.
