Good Wednesday morning Thad, Gary, Paul, and RM!
I hope everybody had a good Thanksgiving.
Thad, wow, $45? It costs me that much for the gas to drive around South Florida in a week! Hope you have a great time down here.
Gary, it's great that you had a friend bring over lots of food and watching pro football. I saw that you Holy Men won handily, and now you have to hope the selection committee looks favorably on them for the playoffs. The Gators finally had a good win, whipping their arch-rival Seminoles' butts. Overall, a very forgettable year though.
Yesterday I had a young, friendly, handsome, dark-skinned guy do my annual home termite inspection. He was tall and skinny, with longish hair covering his ears, probably of Indian or Pakistani extraction or something similar. He actually complimented me on my nice garden. All it seems a lot of Anglos see is just an overgrown mess. The inspection cost a good chunk of change, but it can potentially save me a much bigger charge, because if termites show up in the next year, they'll treat it for free, instead of the usual ten grand or whatever it costs these days.
Well, my neighbors across the street put up their Christmas decorations with a sign facing me that says "Jesus Is the Reason for the Season." I thought about it, and I think the reason is even simpler than that. What it comes down to is that everyone loves a big party!
