Are we playing “last man standing” now, I wonder…

QUESTION: if someone new should show up here and decide he/she wanted to post (yes, that stretches the imagination), would they be able to without Paul?

Cool idea! I recently found the old handheld CB I had when I commuted 65 miles each way every day into Washington DC. Like you, I tried it out— still works but not much to listen to nowadays. But it was useful back in the day.

Glad to hear Tammy is ok. Are you in any hot water for not having fixed that gap between deck and pool?? I mean, c’mon Gene you should have fixed it somehow. At least, that’s what a lot of wives might think…

That's good to know even if she doesn't answer my emails. ...


I'm sure it isn't anything personal Jim, she's busy just staying alive and doesn't watch email much. She and I have been corresponding for years so my email is in her contacts. it's possible yours is going to spam if she doesn't get ...

Got email update from Patria. She is ok so far with water because of Gerrit’s wonderful home cistern system, but the news stories are accurate: most folks are suffering over water. Her brother’s wake and funeral were uplifting and gave her an opportunity to see some friends and family she had not ...
