The 5 yo grand-dau's recent school project was to draw a Christmas
card for someone. And she picked me to send it to, addressed, and all.
Way cool.
By the way: Today is my birthday. I am either 46 or 64 - I'm
kinda dyslectic - but last year I was either 36 or 63, you do the math.
No need to send presents. Instead, just send along small
sacrifices for the Woodworking Gods. And, again, do not attempt to make
sacrifices at home, it only pisses the Woodworking Gods off, instead
send them along to me, and I'll take care of the administrative details.

Truly a grand gloat!

Get some white out. Cover all the numbers on your rules and
replace them with tick marks. Count the tick marks to measure...

Good enough. I just sent off my entire collection of antique glue
scrapings. I didn't have any boxes or wrapping paper left so I
just poured it all into the mailbox on the corner along with an
address label. It should arrive shortly...
Happy birthday!

The last 4 digits of my high school girl friend's phone number were 4691,
which is of course 2, and is the only reason I remember it from ... ummm ...
28=10=1 years ago.

Did you grow up in a place like this place used to be, where everybody just
traded the last four digits because there was only one prefix for the whole
town?
We got a second on in the '80s, and that was a big deal. Now I have no idea
how many there are. Four land lines and another four or six or eight for
cell phones, I think. We've split area codes twice in 20 years.
All of which means there are too many cars on the road around here these
days, and not enough cow pastures. Ah, progress.

I returned to the family farm after my father died several years ago
after 30 years...we're in far SW KS. Biggest difference I see is the
amount of light pollution all around the horizon now from all the wanna'
be "rancher/farmer-ettes", irrigation well indicator lights, feed yards,
etc. that weren't there when growing up... :(
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Last summer I flew to Dallas Texas and drove to Oklahoma. When I was many
miles from the nearest town I confess I stopped the rental car, got out, and
spent over 1/2 hour just looking at the stars. ;-) I knew them well in my
youth. My brother is a rancher in western SoDak and lives 6 miles from his
nearest neighbor. Light pollution is NOT a problem. ;-)

I grew up in Meade county, South Dakota, in the 1970's. My first two years
of college were at Univ of South Carolina, Columbia, and USC's phone book
(25k students) was thicker than the phone book at home. ;-)

I'm in the Washington DC area because that's where people will pay for the
biometrics knowledge I have. If I hit the lotto I'm moving somewhere where
I can see the stars at night. ;-) I've been in this area .... umm ...
about 14 years and I've only seen the Milky Way clearly once.

And in 5 years you will be 96. Some days I feel like that. Oh well,
have a happy and hoist a hot one. I'll have a virtual toddy to your health.

Congrats on the card, JOAT.
And Happy B.D.!
