I think I need to do the mowing for strictly thinking time and to make sure I'm tired enough tonight after this late rise.

In, this can't be good news, there's an Oktoberfest happening right behind my house. Seriously. 4 acres of Leiderhosen and beer.

Not quite all the alochol cooks out of them, and I think the first few alcohol-induced buzzes I ever experienced were a result of that delicious candy.

LBJ was known to take meetings while pooping (as in staffers presenting to him via an open bathroom door) and also had a reputation for showing his hoohoo and resting it on a table if in his mind the situation required it.

Banner crop year for the gourds and mini-pumpkins. Much better than dealing with the t:rolleyes:mat:eek: blight disaster.

Not really. They have a much softer, creamier texture that melts in your mouth. They're quite common in Louisiana and Texas. My father has an amazing recipe for bourbon pecan pralines that are a holiday tradition in my family.

sfogate - you have the SFO staff trained well. Just did a turn in SFO at noon today. The inbound from IAH (378)was 45 minutes late. Arrived at the gate at 11:54. The return flight (1716) was leaving at 12:06. By the time I got off the plane and looked over at gate 34 - the agent waved and guessed who I was. She was holding my F seat.

Turn out someone else was doing the same thing - and they waited for him. Turns out he was seated next to me in 2F. I do not see IAH being as accommodating as the great SFO staff.

Tell them - we love them - they are the best at SFO.

I need some e-rewards surveys soon (for the IC hotels promotion).

If I get one survey for $6, I'll be able to transfer for 1,000 PC points and a 4,000 PC point bonus. Sadly, I redeemed for a lot of HHonors points recently so I have to hope for a survey (or figure out one more qualifying activity).
