I have to believe they will send the KB and mini KB to the Indian Ocean. Time to run away.

Meanwhile...PARAS OVAH EGGONOSE!

I can't believe that worked! 500 sailors and 13 Cats/PBY's. This is one we want to cover up in the press I think.

Mr. King sent IT to Mandrake...

I saw that guy last night. I woke up at 3 AM and glanced at the "entertainment center" that had clean shirts hung up on the corner and then a dark vertical speaker down below with light rectangles on either side that looked liked legs. In my IT-ravaged brain I saw an 8 1/2 foot clown standing over me. I nearly had an IT-ravaged sphincter accident.

I was severely mocked by SG for buying so much frozen food and now I am nearly out! HA! I was hoarding Marie Calender pot pies and now they are gone. Not so funny anymore, is it? I still have about 10 frozen burritos but this may not be a good choice so I am on to the canned tuna!

No turn in the inbox so it's time for a travel log. SG and I went to San Diego this weekend. We stayed at the Hyatt in Mission Bay. It was fun....well....until someone gave me IT. The tower looks a little like a federal building from the 1970's but the rooms have been redone nicely. The windows could use some soundproofing. There is a bait barge full of squid and anchovies about 300 yds from the hotel and it is visited by sea lions 24 hrs a day and if they don't get their squid they complain loudly. Plus, when they are loading the boat bait tanks the sea lions get aggressive and they set off some serious explosive devices to scare them off...at 3 AM.

Pools are very nice. Drinks are $13 PLUS because of IT you have to buy food first so you buy an $18 guac with stale chips and THEN the $13 drinks.

I thought about filling up two carts but my dignity got a hold of me....."Good God man! Have you no sense of shame?"

So I just crammed everything on one cart with the Russian Tp balanced on the handle.

I asked the clerk..."Do you think this is enough toilet paper for all this food"

You should be fine, particularly if you supplement your defense with aerial bombardment. The IJ armored divisions are situationally useful, but 'brittle' and prone to underwhelming performance if they are fatigued/disrupted. So disrupt 'em.

BRT diet? That is strangely suggestive of the burritos he is hoarding ...

$29. Delivered the next day. Works instantly.

Oddly, of the 20 brands of oximeters listed on Amazon they are all $29.

The model I bought was also sold for $24 from another vendor but curiously they were "out of stock". Seems like obvious price fixing to me. Still, the thing works better than most of the professional models we have been using for 15 years.
