I Think

I think edgar's thread is one of the best of ALL TIME!

Amen, Snood; the same could be said of Edgar.

I think beauty and toughness often go together, especially in the desert.

The most beautiful blossom can grow in the crack in a rock. Cacti often have stunningly beautiful blooms.

There are a few people I know who are like that, strong and tough, with true beauty beneath the veneer of toughness.

Aw -
Thank you.
I needed something like this to refresh my connection to able2know.

It just goes to show, you can't keep a good thinker down!

26a. I think something wild has taken some geese from the park. There were five, but lately the two males have been missing.
27a. I think my wife has a beautiful smile.
28a. I think my truck will run better now that I have tightened a loose battery connection.
29a. I think BBB will do much better, once she is over the surgery.
30a. I think executing the Mexican national yesterday, without giving him his full rights first, was a mistake. Not that anybody will miss his sorry ass.

I'm enjoying reading about what you think very much, edgar.

Please continue now.

I'm a little concerned, edgar.
Since my complimentary (I thought) post above, you appear to have stopped thinking!
I hope I haven't put some sort of hex on you!

I just think at 24 hour intervals, olga.

31a. I think my wife will shortly be home from her walk. Saturday mornings, she brings back donuts.
32a. I think the political process makes less and less sense to me. The greatest motivator in my lifetime was the combined Great Depression and WWII. A great tidal wave of movement for and of all segments of the people, gradually waning and losing all momentum by now.
33a. I think the loss of the Webb telescope will be a stupid blunder.
34a. I think the yard desperately needs mowing. Oh why did my son grow up and move away while there was still grass out there?
35a. I think I ought to finish replacing the rest of the siding. But it's too darn hot.

Right, I see.
See you in 24 hours then, edgar.

I know Austin has been having some torid climate at 100 degrees plus, so you guys must also have the same heat problems.

We get the heat, plus extra humidity, CI.

Didn't know about that humidity, but the heat in Austin has kept me away. Will consider a visit when it cools down a bit.

36a. I think Derek Jeter is one heck of a great ball player, even though he has never made a single touchdown.
37a. I think the latest film of True Grit is okay, although I like my heroes to be heroic, rather than drunken old fat men, who are no longer at the top of their form.
38a. I think I am through babying my fig tree. It is several years old and I never get good figs. Usually the birds beat me to the good ones. Last year an excess of rainfall caused them to go bad. This year, they dried up and became hard little balls before they had a chance to ripen, due to the drought.
39a. I think my oldest daughter's move to Austen is eminent. Then, all of my children will be non Houston area residents.
40a. I think the average American citizen is screwed. The big boys make the economic problems, then they want to put the cost of it solely on our shoulders.

Edgar, haven't you basicly answered your own questions here? Is there not a drought in your area?

Too hot, don't mow. Cut grass will dry out quicker than longer grass, won't it?

Problem solved!

It's hard to explain to the neighbors with their scalped yards why my grass is knee deep.

Just tell them that you're concerned about the environment and potential fire hazards.

You don't think kee deep grass in a drought is a fire hazard?

Pay a neighbourhood kid in those nice figs to cut the grass then.
