 I fixed the dishwasher. When we installed it, we didn't secure it firmly 
enough, and closing the door had pushed the dishwasher in, such that the door 
seal, running around the edge, got tweaked, and water was leaking out. What was 
interesting was how deformed the seal strip had become, and I figured out that 
the escaping steam had softened the plastic backbone/clip, allowing it to 
permanently assume its new deformed shape. Being the technical brainiac that I 
am, I boiled a pot of water and used it to heat the strip, thus allowing me to 
straighten the strip back out to a usable shape. I reinstalled the strip, 
loaded the dishwasher, and ran it. No more leak. 

I love that dishwasher. It's a high-end Bosch, and it's the best dishwasher 
I've ever had. In fact, I told Petra that if I'm ever divorced or widowed, I'm 
marrying the dishwasher. She responded, in a very sultry tone, You know, you 
can have us both.

Mexican Craft Beer

Notable brews include Imperial Tequila Ale from Cerveceria Minerva in
Zapopan, a suburb of Guadalajara, which is peppery thanks to time spent in
re-purposed oak barrels from tequila company Reserva los González. There's
also the rich, creamy Bucéfalo Imperial Stout from Tijuana's Cervecería
Rámuri, made with roasted Mexican coffee beans. On the sweetest end of the
spectrum are seasonal beers brewed with mango and honey at Baja Brewing
Company in Los Cabos.

But, the whole town is based on cattle trails. One location called Five
Points is where a drunk cowboy once fell off his horse. Spaniards founded
the San Antonio Missions - apparently the very first rodeo may have been
when Jose left the gate to the stable open by mistake, causing the very

just for fun and pleasure, like my neighbor, who doesn't drive these cars

I inherited the Eldorado from Mom. She bought it new off the show room

license at age 86, but hadn't driven in about ten years. So, one day I just
took it - I'm using it for highway driving. I put some new tires on it and
a new disc brakes.

You can't get anything these days for a car like that - maybe $1500. The
AC still works and it has cruise control. Also, it has a kick-ass Delco
Bose sound system with CD player inside. Sweet!

I inherited the Eldorado from Mom. She bought it new off the show room
floor and it's been garaged it's whole life. She still had a driver's
license at age 86, but hadn't driven in about ten years. So, one day I just
took it - I'm using it for highway driving. I put some new tires on it and
a new disc brakes.

You can't get anything these days for a car like that - maybe $1500. The
AC still works and it has cruise control. Also, it has a kick-ass Delco
Bose sound system with CD player inside. Sweet!

At our place, we have a garage with two doors with independent
electro-mechanical door openers. That way, when we drive up to the house we
can open the doors and drive in and the dorr will shut behind us with the
touch of a button.

[image: Inline image 1]


We like this arrangement because it is convenient and safe. Convenient
because there is a door in the garage so we can carry our bags of stuff
from Whole Foods Market right into the kitchen. Safe, because once we get
inside and the door is down, nobody can rob us and take our groceries if
they were to follow us home from the store.

The next door neighbor has installed bars on all his windows and doors and
set up remote cameras all around his house. He built a wrought-iron fence
around his entire yard and has a pit bull in the yard. Inside his house he
has a little yapping terrier; a Browning over-under shotgun and several
pistols including a Colt six-shooter and a Glock automatic, all loaded. He
has probably spent over $10,000 on his home defenses. But, he has to stop
at his gate and get out of the car to unlock it, in order to drive in to
his driveway.

So, I told him that the robbers were probably going to get him when he
stepped out of the truck to unlock the gate, not when he was already inside
the house. He didn't like that. Go figure.

We saw this house on a trip yesterday to see Dad up in North Texas. I've 
been passing this place since 1962 and watched it go down over the years 
- it was already in pretty bad shape the first time I saw it. We are 
speculating that it probably took 75 years or more for it to reach this 
state. I missed taking the best shot last year when I passed by - there 
was a mule standing in the fog next to it, but I was in a hurry so I 
didn't stop.

I read a book years ago written from the Indian perspective about the Little 
Big Horn. A doctor was privileged to interview several Lakotas that were there. 
They said that many of the troops committed suicide during the battle and they 
thought it was because of the *firewater* in their canteens. In those days it 
was commonly thought that if you are in a battle with Indians you always saved 
your last bullet for yourself because you dare not be taken alive. The Lakotas 
said very few troops fought bravely and one of them was Custer's brother Tom 
and they attributed that to his *warpaint*, the eagle tattooed on his chest.
Historical accounts show that Custer had his men on the move for many hours, 
maybe 72 , following Indian sign when he gave the order for his men to camp and 
rest. I would bet that if his men did indeed had whiskey in their canteens, 
they probably started drinking. Sometime later, scouts found the Indian camp 
off on the horizon and showed it to Custer.  A report had just come in about 
the same time that Indians had been seen foraging through some crates that had 
fallen behind on the trail. Custer was afraid the Indians would know that he 
was close and  would scatter. So he called *boots and saddles* and pressed his 
exhausted men and horses to break camp and attack. I would assume his men and 
horses were not only exhausted but probably many were drunk as well. They 
didn't stand a chance. It is estimated that there probably were  at least a 
thousand warriors and many were better armed, with repeating rifles, than 
Custer's men who were armed with single
 shot carbines and ammunition that constantly jammed and prevented quick 
reloading. One Indian said the whole battle took about as long as it takes a 
hungry man to eat his dinner.

 Abso-bloody-lutely! The Indians weren't the cuddly ethnics the PC crowd would 
have you believe.
 

 From Wiki: 
 The torture [of captives] had strong sacrificial overtones, usually to the 
sun. Captives were expected to show extreme self-control and composure during 
torture, singing death songs, bragging of one's courage or deeds in battle, 
and otherwise showing defiance. The torture was conducted publicly in the 
captors' village, and the entire population (including children) watched and 
participated. Common torture techniques included burning the captive- which was 
done one hot coal at a time, rather than the Hollywood-style pile of firewood 
around the captive - cuts from knives, beatings with switches and jabs from 
sharp sticks. Prisoners' fingernails were ripped out. Their fingers were 
broken, then twisted and yanked by children. Captives were made to eat pieces 
of their own flesh, and were scalped alive. To make the torture last longer, 
the Native Americans would revive captives with rest periods during which time 
they were given food and water. Tortures would begin with the lower limbs, then 
gradually spread to the arms, then the torso. The Native Americans spoke of 
caressing the prisoners gently at first, which meant that the initial 
tortures were designed to cause pain, but only minimal bodily harm. By these 
means, the execution of a captive, especially an adult male, could take several 
days and nights.

 

 Yep, I'd be taking that cyanide pill!

If George Armstrong Custer had some Winchester repeaters it sure would have
helped! It also would have helped if had taken that shipment of Gatling
guns with him. Also, he refused additional help from other troops stating
that he could whip any bunch of Indians or something to that effect. LoL!

There is a spot up in Austin where Custer stayed with his wife and his
volunteer troops after the civil war. On our last trip up to Deadwood we
visited the Custer State Park. I've read several books about Custer's last
stand where he was wiped out by Sitting Bull. The Black Hills of South
Dakota is full of evidence of Custer, including a county, town.

According to almost all historians, Custer's first big mistake was going
there in the first place; and the second big mistake is when he divided his
troops into two groups, 208 splitting off with Major Reno; and then his
third big mistake was charging in too soon against Crazy Horse. It should
be noted that Custer graduated last in his class at West Point. Go figure.

 He would have been better off stocking up on Winchester 73 repeaters. It
 seems the Indians at his Last Stand had those but his troops had
 old-fashioned carbines. Better at long range but no match for rapid fire.

 I'm a Brit so Yanks fascination with guns bemuses me. But those old cowboy

 I find, say, a Schmeisser submachine gun, or modern weapons, utterly

Today I went to this place to look for a hat. Paris Hatters in downtown San
Antonio since 1919 is a very famous place that carries all kinds of hats,
including Stetson, Resitol, and many others. Apparently George Armstrong
Custer wore a Stetson hat at The Battle of Little Big Horn. Go figure.

 David Crockett got killed defending the place. I've been inside several

 Barracks wall. Go figure. Phil Collins has been there a number of times and
 wrote a book about the Alamo - a good read.

 What makes this volume especially interesting is that Collins not only
 studied artifacts and documents from his private collection but excavated
 land near the Alamo site to unearth more. And they're unveiled to his
 readers in this book, in which he was assisted by Austin photographer Ben
 Powell, pen-and-ink Gary Zaboly, with essays by Texas historians Bruce
 Winders, Don Frazier, and Stephen Hardin. - Steve Goddard, History Wire

George Armstrong Custer wore a Stetson hat at The Battle of Little Big Horn.

 

 He would have been better off stocking up on Winchester 73 repeaters. It seems 
the Indians at his Last Stand had those but his troops had old-fashioned 
carbines. Better at long range but no match for rapid fire.

 I'm a Brit so Yanks fascination with guns bemuses me. But those old cowboy 
film guns - the Winchester rifle and the Colt revolvers - have an appealing 
style. They're so simple, but so perfect. They really are beautiful.
 

 I find, say, a Schmeisser submachine gun, or modern weapons, utterly obscene. 
I mean really and truly nauseating. They are killing devices. But the 
simplicity and elegance of those frontier weapons. Wow!

Maybe number one and number two son should consider attending a local 
community college for the first two years. That way, you save tons of 
money and you could tell based on their attendance and grades whether or 
not they are ready to attend college in the first place.


It's sometimes isn't much fun living in a dorm with strangers, eating 
cafeteria food, doing your own laundry, working as a fast food server or 
cook and having no car or any money for even a date! LoL!


It could be that one or both might do better learning a vocation or 
trade that pays money when they graduate. One gal I know went to a 
two-year LVN vocational nursing school and landed a job before one year 
was over at $12.00 an hour.


Then she saved up some money and went to a two-year nursing school to be 
an RN. Before she graduated she got a job paying $24 an hour, and was 
offered a $10.000 incentive to work at the M.D. Anderson medical center 
in Houston. Go figure.


One guy I know got a degree in Pshychology from Trinity U., not 
realizing that with a mere B.S. in psycholgy, he would only qualify for 
a job as an aide at the State School. Another guy I know got a B.A. in 
German literature, and he's still working at an Exxon Tiger Mart in Austin.

Wife and number two son are in Milwaukee right now visiting some 
colleges.  He was not accepted into Madison, but there are other 
colleges in the area he is considering.  Not that he would have gone 
to Madison.  There were many other considerations, not the least of 
which was financial and the large size of the university.


But about those lobster tails.  I had been wanting lobster tails for 
about the last five years, (at least), but never could bring myself to 
shell out the cheddar for them.  But on Saturday, I had it in my mind 
that was what I was going to get.  As I was going through the menu, 
and seeing the ultra high prices on things, I said to myself, (before 
I got to the lobster tails), that as long as they were in the $40.00 
range, I would get them.  Well, turns out they were $50.00 and some 
odd cents, and I got them anyway, and thoroughly enjoyed them.


But you know what's bad?  Now I want them again!  So much for

Good suggestions Richard.  Thank you.  The closest they might come to that 
would be to attend the St. Louis branch of the state college.  In this case 
UMSL.
  
 But I will be honest about it, at the high school graduation ceremony where 
both sons went, and which happens to have the highest average ACT scores in the 
city, when they announce for each student, which college or university they 
will be attending, no would dare indicate community college.  Or even probably 
technical school. That is not to say, that some might not end up going that 
route, (I know for a fact that many of them do) but at least initially that 
would not be a generally accepted option.  And I'm not saying that it makes any 
sense, but that is the way it is.
  
 Now the scenario you describe above, fits my oldest son perfectly.  He would 
have been far better going the community college route. He could have stayed at 
home, had a part time job, a car, and income. Instead we (and he) have spent a 
lot of money for tuition, room and board for what appears to be a pretty 
mediocre result.
  
 My wife grew up without a father for most of her life, worked very hard in 
high school and always had part time jobs. She attended UMSL for most of her 
college career, then transferred to Middlebury where she got her undergrad 
degree, then back to UMSL for Master's degree, before she got snatched up by 
IBM where she worked for 13 years.
  
 The daughter seems to have inherited her work ethic.  I guess they boys take 
more after me.

Good doggie. I'm sure Mummy will give you a dog biscuit when she logs on

I'm just having a little fun with Judy's ludicrous claim that she is NOT
a stalker, and her even more ludicrous attempt to redefine that word in
terms of having followed someone from forum to forum in pursuit of them.

Cyberstalking is about the pursuit, period, with the intent to harass
and do damage to another person. And that's been Judy's M.O. for close
to 20 years now.

Just run a search on the number of times Judy has referenced her known
enemies on FFL since 2005. She's found occasion to mention me in over
8,600 posts. She has written 3,000 posts each to or about Vaj and
Curtis. In the short time Share has been here, Judy has written to or
about her over 1,700 times now.

I don't think that there is a single person on this forum who doesn't
know what the *tone* and *intent* of most of these posts were. They were
harassment, pure and simple.

And they *were* stalking. Judy is the most consistent and egregious
stalker this forum has ever seen. The fact that she can be so out of it
as to deny this is the scariest part.

 Funhouse mirror time again, kiddies. This is how Barry used the
 term. He's now redefined stalking to mean dumping on, to try
 to cover up his lie about how I had stalked him from forum to 
 forum. And is pretending I'm the one who redefined it.
 

 Given his unrelieved stalking of moi in four different forums for the
 past 18 years, and of many others in whatever forum he happens to be
 in, the hypocrisy of his complaining about anyone else's stalking is
 monumental.
 
 Cyberstalking is about the pursuit, period, with the intent to harass

 Curtis. In the short time Share has been here, Judy has written to or

 As just about everybody here knows, Barry's use of numbers obtained
 from Search are thoroughly bogus. You can't do what he pretends to do
 with Search, for reasons I've explained a number of times. You'd have to go
 through every bloody post on the Search hit list and read it to weed out
 the instances of a name or term that was a quote rather than from an
 original post.
 

 Oh, and he tends to avoid referring to his stalkees by name in an attempt
 to diminish his own counts.
 

 It's just one more of Barry's dishonest stalking tactics. He's accumulated
 a shitload of 'em by now. He would have nothing to say if he had to be honest.

Hey Em, I know. I can tell from your past posting that you love the ocean and 
the elements and the walks where the spray hits you in the face and you can 
smell the brininess of the sea. You seem to take many ocean walks and no doubt 
your dog is running with you in the sand and having a glorious time and when 
you return to your home you feel invigorated and cleansed by the stinging air 
and the exhilaration of it all. Glad you could appreciate the picture without 
gettingtoo hung up with how much I look like a Nazi. (As you would say smile.)

 Oh, excellent!  I was just thinking that I need a pair of new and different 
boots for walking in the winter.  Ask and you shall receive.  
 
Hey Em, email me your shoe size. Check out the Blundstone website and tell me 
if you would like the chisel toe, original or the new Brogue (cool) and private 
email me your address to send them to - my gift and my pleasure to do so. Think 
of it as a late birthday present. (Is this pandering BTW?)

 Those are Blundstones. Australian made and veyyy comfortable for beach 
walking!! I sell them at my store. These ones are brown suede - nothing like 
Nazi boots at all.

 Ah ha ha, Ann.  I want those boots you were wearing.  Yes, I love the ocean; 
puts things back in a perspective that I find ultimately humbling, nurturing 
and yes, cleansing, no matter what the weather. In the winter, I like it when 
the wind rips through me and the rain cries tears down my face and the little 
dog doggedly trots forward.
