I managed to screw up my comments yesterday. While I was enthusiastically banning IP addresses from blackjack spammers, I hit "Add" while the line for the IP address was blank. Apparently MT thinks that means "Ban Everyone."
So, I think it works again. Sheriff Bart, let me know if you still can't post a comment.
This will be the last post for the weekend. I'm heading off to a family reunion in historic Independence, Missouri. The clan is a bunch of feisty Germans, and yet, the only beer to be had will be from a small cooler hidden in my uncle's pick-up truck. I'd bring my own, but it would never make it to the reunion. Cold beer + Interstate 35 through Iowa...you do the math. I will bring my camera. If you're lucky, Monday morning you can look forward to cattle photos...or Uncle Ralph. He's a hoot.
Now if you will excuse me...I have to finish cleaning off the livingroom sofa. The Governor was throwing a single serve pack of apple sauce up in the air and trying to get it to land on his head. He succeeded.
Have a brilliant weekend.
Note to Suz: Thanks for the message! I've been swamped today and missed the gold medal match. Hurrah for the USA! If I don't reach you tonight, I'll call as soon as I get home!
Everything looks green from here.
Have fun at the family reunion. Any reason you can't load up some cold ones in Independence before you get to the reunion? Just the idea of Missouri has me thirsting for a Guiness.

However...that does give me an idea. If I get stopped for speeding and THEN make my liquor run, she can't say anything. I'm pretty sure Grandma has no idea how long a routine traffic stop takes.

Just kidding! I have to go through the same things when I visit my parents & grandparents.
