I Think

What the heck is that?

SALMON CROQUETTES

1 stack crackers, crushed fine
1 lg. can salmon
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 egg
Black pepper
Extra crackers to roll croquettes in

Mix all ingredients and shape around cheese cubes. Roll in cracker crumbs. Drop in deep fat fryer until done.

531. I think I shall survive a bizarre weekend. Heck, we all go on.

532. I think I may have to fire up the old air conditioner soon. Summer is encroaching, bit by bit.

533. I think I was watching the James Arness remake of Red River earlier. At first, I didn't want to give it a chance, but it turns out to be an okay western.

534. I think my little dog enjoys her baths. She goes around wagging her tail when it's over. Not so, Punky. She tries to outrun me to the doggie door if she suspects at all a bath is coming.

535. I think my wife's Toyota will be real handy this coming week.

536. I think ain't it good to be alive?

537. I think I have had more outpouring of good will from my friends, both online and on the job and home front, than ever before in my life, over the past few years.

538. I think we just have to let it go, when people are ugly to us, out of jealousy, malice, chemical imbalance, whatever, just as long as they don't set out to destroy us. Self defence is a virtue in extreme cases.

539. I think the coming national ID card will be a hardship on the old and re-enforce anti emigrant action; that is a large part of why I am against it.

540. I think girls just want to have fun.

541. I think there are too many hours in a day. We should go right from 8AM to 11AM, break for two hours lunch, then go to 4PM. At five, we go home to resume normal routine, until 8 next morning.

542. I think werewolves would have problems with fleas.

543. I think Lone Star Beer is less popular, because it tastes unlike soda pop.

544. I think arrow straighteners made lots of money, before guns were in wide use.

545. I think Houston weather is a plot by the energy companies.

546. I think I would like to have a little friend. I would pet it and pet it. I would squeeze it and hug it and love it. I used to have a little friend, but it don't move no more.

547. I think letty's radio station is in need of some help in her absense. Wish more people would post on there.

548. I think a tuna fish sandwich, with a few Fritos and a glass of red wine, makes a nice light meal this evening.

549. I think I hear thunder. Heavy rain forcast.

550. I think I will have one more glass of that wine. Why not?

Has Letty gone somewhere?

She said she would be off the air to deal with personal problems.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Such a nice lady. I hope all will be well soon.

I'm assuming she will be okay, and will soon return.

551. I think my legs may drop off. Been walking beside a thirty year old powerhouse today, at work. I don't think he realizes I can't run like that every day. Monday, I must set him straight.

552. I think my conversation with dys this evening will be with me as one of the great experiences of my life.

553. I think that just when I begin to doubt the civilization I find myself in, I find another person to make me reconsider.

554. I think letty will be returning soon.

555. I think I need a Lone Star beer.

i received an e-mail stating that very fact

Me, also. Which is why I so think.

556. I think the era of the zeppelin is over.

557. I think the people who still support Bush and his war are a mystery to me. Our minds can never meet.

558. I think this Mothers Day has been a bit different for me. I heard from my first wife today, for the first time in over ten years. It was just to inform me her big brother, an erstwhile friend of mine, has died. Still, it's odd to know she's even among the living.

559. I think the stars at night are big and bright, but only deep in the heart of Texas. I'm on the Gulf Coast.

600. I think we shall dine on Ballpark Franks this eve. With two rounds of drink for everyone. Yes, the workhouse might be just around the corner, but one of those franks can plump up to twice the size of Tiny Tim, and we shall be merry this day.

By all means, edgar, enjoy this day - and all future ones.

Salut, CI.

Not only Texas edgar.

The Man from snowy river (excerpt) AB Patterson

And down by Kosciusko, where the pine-clad ridges raise
Their torn and rugged battlements on high,
Where the air is clear as crystal, and the white stars fairly blaze
At midnight in the cold and frosty sky,
And where around the Overflow the reed beds sweep and sway
To the breezes, and the rolling plains are wide,
The man from Snowy River is a household word today,
And the stockmen tell the story of his ride.

Speaking of such things, I was at a lake in The Woodlands about two weeks ago. The shoreline was abustle with families of all stripes, plus the mooching of ducks. Across the body of water, two very young swimmers were keeping pace with a boat, and the breeze tempered the sun's rays, making it pleasant to be there. As I took a place on a bench and looked down at the water, I was very surprised. Willie Wonka's chocolate stream must feed that water. I mean, Holy ****; there were swimmers in there. We sat and watched the swimmers, the children and ducks, for a while, but my heart was no longer in it.

601. I think I am a gentile golem.

602. I think the gorillas in the woods should be made to carry pooper scoopers.

603. I think gus and reyn should be made to carry pooper scoopers.

604. I think djjd should spell his name backwards for a few weeks, really confuse everybody (except me, who would know better).

605. I think sublime is incognito here, but will make his presence known real soon.
