====================
->  RH> I get coupons in the paper for brands that my local stores don't
->  RH> carry, but stores a bit further out do.  The trouble is that the 
value

-> 
-> That's not worth the time/effort either. OTOH, if there were other good
-> deals, it would be worth driving a ways for. When we fist got here, we
-> hit up Whole Foods every 3-6 months. Now that there's one closer, we go
-> more often. Helps, too, that it's not too far from our doctor's office.
-> 
Too true.  There are some stores I always hit if I'm in that area anyway, 
but won't make a special trip for.  

->  RH> These days you almost need digital capabilities.
-> 
-> Getting that way; I've noticed the difference even between local
-> stations. We just have an inside antenna, no cable.

Urgggh.  Around here that would mean getting not even the original three 
channels.  I'm down in a hole and the digital signals don't get in here the 
way the old analogs did..
 
-> -> "Danger Will Robinson, danger!"  Old dryer vent hose armed robot.
-> 
->  RH> Robbie!  Robbie was actually used in all sorts of things both
before
->  RH> and after LIS.
-> 
-> As I understand, yes. Steve is more the sci-fi expert than I am.
-> 
I used to watch all the cheesy SF I could get.  He never turned up on Star 
Trek, oddly enough.
 
-> -> it; it's in a topsy turvy. OTOH, a squirrel or raccon (haven't seen 
the
-> -> latter here, lots of the former) might go for it.
-> 
->  RH> If they're cherry tomatoes a squirrel definitely might.  Birds too.
-> 
-> Well, we had the first tomato yesterday. Got a couple more getting ready
-> for picking soon and lots of green ones in various stages of development
-> on the plant. Also a good number of blossoms.

Fried green tomatoes?
 
-> -> We don't have a basement nor a proper attic. Kitty would be in the 
house
-> -> proper, driving me nuts.
-> 
->  RH> I no longer have that problem; I've been driven for decades.
-> 
-> Kind of hard to do a paper on a net book on your lap desk with a kitty
-> batting at curser. I never had that trouble but when I was finishing my
-> BA, our kitten liked to get between me and the western civ book I had to
-> read.
-> 
Mine think I'm at their beck and call if I'm awake and sitting up, or just 
awake.  Mine prefer to sleep on the newspaper I'm reading, or on the sewing 
project I'm working on.  Or on the clean laundry - in whichever order will 
annoy the nearest human the most.
