 ML>> The elephant factor, or the elephant and umbrella factor,
 ML>> or some of both?
 NB>> ["do you see any elephants?"  "No"  "so it must be working"]  The doc
 NB>> caught the reference, and said something like, "the rock is keeping
 NB>> the elephants away, eh?" and laughed...  At least it isn't the
 NB>> elephant in the room... :)
 ML> I always thought it was umbrellas that kept the heffalumps away.

I'd forgotten that... must be time to drag out my Winnie-the-Pooh...   I
do use the umbrella to keep the rain away, but it's only occasionally
successful...  ;)

 ML>> We may have a CRISPY cauliflower crust in our future.
 NB>> The oven's there and working... :)   Sounds like a good experiment. 
 ML> It will be a fun experiment, und Sie vill like it, Hafflys!

Just don't tell Ruth which it is until she tastes it... ;)
 
 NB>>> sounds like layering clothing will be in order... 
 ML>> That is the most sensible plan when dealing with multiple
 ML>> climate changes in a brief span, and mine.
 NB>> Certainly it allows for more flexibility... :)
 ML> Today I was lucky to find a place to shower and change -
 ML> chasing Lilli across the world, with her having flights
 ML> delayed all over the place. I was glad to have clothes
 ML> for 40 to 90, as I've been in both within half a day.

It's that time of year, even if one isn't jaunting off between
hemispheres...  ;)

 ML>>> If the difficulty is the length of the drive over, could you
 ML>>> find out the distance they'd be willing to go in a day?
 NB>>> I'll do that... that may not be that much of an issue... but it
 NB>>> could be...
 ML>> I hope it's not. In any case, encourage them.
 NB>> Will do.  :)
 ML> Any word? Not to pressure them or anything.

Not yet...  but that's my fault for not getting back to them to set up a
time for lunch, hopefully...  (and I'm notoriously bad at pressuring,
anyway... [g]) 
 
 NB>> And another place I've been considering is one of their favorites,
 NB>> Bad to the Bone BBQ, that so far I've only driven past on a regular
 NB>> basis on my trips back and forth on Rt 104...  :)
 ML> NY has turned out to be not so bad a place for BBQ.
 ML> Been to the Dinosaur a couple times, once pretty good,
 ML> once pretty okay. Bad to the Bone, never been.

Been to the Dinosaur once... it was ok... didn't really know what or how
to order, so that might have been part of it...  ;)  After hearing Burt
rave about Bad to the Bone, I'd like to go there with them, and see how
it is, with some expert guidance...  :)

 ML> Hey, when did bad come to mean good? Wicked, too.

Been that for a while...  Slang, ya know...  Maybe it had roots in B
(and worse) movies... so bad they're good...?   ;)

 ML> 2 c  Half-and-half (heavy cream
 ML> If you REALLY feel wicked)

Or just daring... ;)

ttyl      neb

... I'm going to make a prediction: It could go either way.
