    One of the most endearing sights in the world is the vision of a naked good-looking woman leaving the bedroom to make breakfast. Bolivar Shagnasty (I believe that Lazarus Long also said it, but I can't find any record of it.)

    G'day all ~ Had a good day off, in fact had the whole week off because its been raining so much. 7" so far and a lot more to come. It's a bit soggy here on the cattle station. A good time to make some boolits and lube the unlubed. Oh also spend time with my new girl friend

    Five Golden stars for you.
    When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.

    I heard it on the news, the news girl said it was the Australian 4th of July. I thought it was kind of lame to put it that way. They deserve their own day in its own right. I apologise for that.

    Let's hear it for New GF's! Mine picked me up in my allergist's clinic! I had gotten my shots, and was minding my own business, reading a 'Flying' magazine, when this woman walks up to me and asks 'Were you in the Air Force?'. I answered Yes, that I had retired from the AF, and she said 'My husband flew P-40's at Guadalcanal, but he died 2 years ago - and I'm a widow'.

    Well.

    I said 'Well, I'm a widower - What are you doing tonight?'. She lives 5 minutes away - that was 3 months ago, and we're doing nicely, thank you. By the way her husband was considerably older than she...

    If there is nothing in your life worth dying for than you are already dead.
