I'll stick with my iced tea, thanks, Pinot and her mom, but blue is my favorite color, I bet that's a real pretty drink!

Ice cream cake with Jenny for her birthday, thanks! And I'll dispense some Beano before I let a certain pooch lick the paper plate clean, I promise!

And Lady's Human, at least that wasn't the year we accidentally set the woods on fire! (To any concerned readers, don't worry, just some underbrush burned before the best runners in the crew got there to stomp it out!)

ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!

Off to see the first indy race at Pocono in 25 years in the AM!.

[Karen]

Cool, is the whole crew going?

[smokey the elder]

ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!

Off to see the first indy race at Pocono in 25 years in the AM!.

Did you enjoy the race? How about poor Hinchcliff wrecking on the first lap! A root beer float and some ribs sounds great.

Years ago at a science fiction convention they were serving "intergalactic Smurf solvent" which I think was similar to the recipe above. Pretty good stuff!

[RICHARD]

Time to dispense food, fun and foolishness!

------

I do have to say that those ribs were really good.

I was in the story picking up the meat and I heard the butcher and a customer talking about the weather and the customer says, "No grilling today, it's gonna rain all day..."

I laughed.

I put them on the grill and left them on the top rack for 4 hours with a wood chip box that I found at Kmart.

Let's get some 'solvent' served, lemonade and more food?

Done.

In Lost Angeles all fireworks are banned.

My brother lives in a neighborhood that is next to the freeway and kinda out-of-the-way.

Every year the neighbors get together and shoot off massive amounts of fireworks.

It's so big that the cops come by to watch.........
