Looks like Michigan is in for some rainy weather.When I used to get to
the chatroom at the online Cork,Ireland,Examiner newspaper,once in a
while a divorced lady with two kids from Muskegon,Michigan would show up
in that chatroom.She once said her divorced hubby took off with her best
silver silverware.She got interested in chatting with a guy in Alaska.

Now chulin, of all the years I lived in the DFW area, we never sent you
any bad weather...well not on purpose anyway.

I don't blame any bad weather coming this way on Shreveport or Fort
Worth/Dallas.I blame it on the Winds that blow from West to East.

I tried to watch a few minutes of that Surface tv show on nbc.That woman
said something to the affect she just can't understand how people can
eat meat when poor animals are suffering.
I just couldn't take it anymore! I switched tv channels.Born to be Bad
movie is on my tv set now on the TCM channel.I am going to cook up some
Pork Chops for supper.
