i don't know where she gets this crap

Petaluma is the name of a great winery here.


They so don't make cheese puffs though.

Thanks, osso, I now feel I know someone from Petaluma a little.
BTW it looks like a wonderful nursery!

Thank you for the research, Osso. Looks like quite a few places hereabouts that vend those vittles.

As to Petaluma, the town is mentioned a few times by John Steinbeck in Cannery Row and at least once in The Short Happy Life of Pippin the Fourth. {Did I get the name of that last book correctly? Don't have it handy.)

That title sounds familiar, Merry.

It wasn't a best-seller, Osso. It's a slight little satire on French politics written and published at a time when France seemed to have a new government every two months or so, just before deGaulle took over. Steinbeck makes up a delightful little tongue-in-cheek story about France returning to a monarchy with an ineffectual little bourgois chemist being crowned head of state just because he happens to be a direct descendant of Charlesmaigne. He chooses a young American, his daughter's current boyfriend, as an advisor. The boy happens to be from Petaluma, if I recall correctly.

I'm sorry, I don't know anyone from Petaluma

Care for a cheese puff?

aint that the truth..

I always think of Polly Klaas. And Winona Ryder.

I'm always amazed when peeps respond to my topics that have no rational reason for existing.

Does ANYTHING have a rational reason for existing?

Or an irrational reason for that matter?

(I imbibed some rather high-quality codeine a bit ago, don't mind me...)

when we stayed on hilton head island a few years ago , we rented a cottage along one of the drainage (?) ditches that housed several friendly(?) alligators .
at night we'd sit on the porch and throw cheesepuffs (all natural - low cholestorol !) towards the gators . sure was great fun to hear them go : CRUNCH !
they must have liked those cheesepuffs because they were waiting for them every night .
hbg

Well, even if, post fact, we FIND one, there was none at the beginning....we are just here cos a sperm and an egg got together...the I ness of it all is random.


Irrational reason?

Hmmmmmmm..........well, nature abhors a vacuum, and there might be something worse than I here if I wasn't.

Petal, Uma.


I think we worked together a decade or so ago.

But those are your BEST threads, Dys!

We're just avoiding the political threads. Many of those have even less rational reason for existing.

I didn't even realize this thread actually existed until Dys pointed that out. Strange, that.

This would be my thread of choice this morning.

Codeine would be the drug of choice this morning.

Ya mind sharing Soz?

THE human heart? How else, would we be able to oxygenate
blood hemoglobin?
