Hey Mike,
I think I know this one. I'll wait, what do you think - a couple of days, and see if anyone chimes in with the answer first.
Hopefully I'll have my computer back soon, as good as new.
Until then, here's some random thoughts from the library computer, to pad this out a bit...
My friend Duane (one of the rocket people) checks this blog occasionally, so here's a message. Duane, I got the newsletter today, and I enjoyed the articles. Don't know yet if I'll make it to FFFF this year, but I hope to. Oh, and those high school era photos of Ron are priceless.
Local news: I noticed something kind of sad yesterday, the old Blue Ridge Cinema building has been almost completely torn down. It had stood vacant for years, not a good thing. Hopefully something good will be put up in its place. And that explains the loud crashing noises I heard the other day when I was out back working in my garden (I had blamed the auto body shop, perhaps I was mistaken).
Speaking of gardening, yes I planted tomatoes and cucumbers again this year. This time around I used chicken wire instead of plastic netting, and so far it's working much better. The evil squirrels can still go over the top (but as far as I can tell I've only lost one tomato; a green one at that). There are no holes chewed through low down, so I'm keeping the rabbits out. The plants* are big and healthy, and we've gotten quite a few tomatoes. Many more to come...if they all ripen at once, we may have to open a stand.
* What varieties did I plant? Glad you asked. Two Large Red Cherry tomato plants, three Jet Star, two Early Girl, one Super Beefsteak, and one Better Boy. The Cucumber seeds I planted a bit late, so we'll see how that goes.
And I saw a fun bumper sticker today, something to the effect of "It's too early in the morning to slay dragons".
