Lama, You are in rare form ;-)
> Thanks, Bree for validating my opinion. I've long suspected this. The > icing on the cake was when Joni showed up at the alfresco diner with a Jack > Russell terrier and argued to let him sniff the other diners! Touche! O.K. look - while she does tend to sound a bit like Norma in the cut, pasted, clipped and snipped interviews, she is not there yet! We are generally laid back here in SoCal, especially as one gets closer to the beach. EVERYONE along the beach seems to bring their dogs if they have them (often BIG dogs like dingo mixes and Rhodesian ridgebacks and other assorted canine exotica) out on a weekend stroll to the local cafe. Her little Coco was yapping her head off being leashed and since it was only just a few of us out there at first being copacetic, she let her off the leash to stop yapping. THEN, this contingent of bratty spoiled teenage girls arrived on the scene and started giving Joni all kinds of sh**. Later, as Joni was regaling us with her times with Dylan and others those girls got smaller and smaller and almost crawled off the patio as they were leaving, their metaphorical tails way down between their legs. Heehee ;-) Joni is still as I have always regarded her - she is just like one of us. She is completely human and real and sweet. But she ain't no pushover, and that's good. Kakki
