Daylights burning & set yer clocks back: November Cawfee

[Delmonico]

Train? What train? Ain’t seen no train. Wouldn’t know one if I had seen it. No me. Nope.

Like my collards all boilt up with a hunk of salt pork.  Usually don’t add any seasonin’.

That's the way I do it, but I do add the dash of vinegar, something my folks and Grandparents did also.  Grandma grew spinach, a domestic version of Lamb's Quarter, and we used some of the beets and turnips tops also.  When I gardened I grew a lot of mustard greens.  Almost never had any luck with collards except in the fall and only if it was a warm one like this year, I could have grown Collards this year as warm and wet as it was.  In the spring it didn't seem like they grew fast enough and the weather got hot and dry and they bolted, bolted greens are nasty.

As I get older, I find that somethings are awfully sweet.  I never thought it would happen, but I have actually uttered the dreaded terms that adults sometimes use  "That's too sweet." 

That said... I like my Tea SWEEEEET!  Growing up in Texas, I never had it sweet. You ordered tea and you sweetened it at the table.  It wasn't until I came here to the east coast that I was offered the option: "You wan't that sweet or unsweet, darlin'?"

Now, civilization has come to Texas.  They are offering sweet tea just about everywhere now.  I don't know when it started, I only noticed it for the first time last January.  I usually make it out there every year or year and a half.

No sweeeeeeeeetea served in my area WI that I know of. Ya have ta add yer own sweetener if ya want it that way.

I'd go for the job in Berlin.

The emphasis is on the first syllable. I don't know when that started but I assume is what during The Great War but could have been when Hitler was trying to conquer the world. 

Slim, if you get the job will you be able to send us some samples?

Yeah.  One them flat rate postage boxes fullah twenties would be real nice.

Mornin', I'd take some collards and some sort of cured pork cooked with it.  Don't know if it's done down yer way, but I like a dash of vinegar on my greens.  Only coffee I drink with sugar is that Turkish I brew up in camp sometimes, Slim passed on it I believe when he had the chance.  Of course since it is stonger tha Espresso, it might kill you with out it.

My dad always had vinegar on his spinach.
If I drank that Turkish stuff ya wouldn't want me handling a firearm. 


Yeah, come on, Pony Racer, rob that train and be done with it. 

'Tis 29 and partly cloudy. High of 40. The Alberta Clipper is past us so the wind has calmed done. Probably blowing on SHB and Buck, now.

Heard that folks did that werkin' nights when the old dump was still in business. Course I wouldn't know anything about it.

Real nice out.  Fifties 'n sunny.  Sweats are perfect for it. It can stay this way from now on 'n I'd be happy.

Got me a heavy want for a big ole pot of greens. Collards, mustard, turnip. Don't matter it the moment.

Breaking news out of Washington state.

MANSON, Wash. — Charles and Linda Everson were driving back to their hotel when their minivan was struck by a falling object - a 600-pound cow. The Eversons were unhurt but the cow, which had fallen off a cliff, had to be euthanized.

The year-old cow fell about 200 feet from the cliff and landed on the hood of the couple's minivan, causing heavy damage.

A Chelan County fire chief, Arnold Baker, said the couple missed being killed by a matter of inches in the accident Sunday on a highway near Manson.

The Eversons, visiting the area from their home in Westland, Michigan, to celebrate their first wedding anniversary, were checked at Lake Chelan Community Hospital as a precaution.

Everson, 49, said he didn't see the cow falling and didn't know what happened until afterward.

He said he kept repeating: "I don't believe this. I don't believe this."

[Ozark Tracker]

looks like they'll have to do an  investigation,

did somebody push the cow,  was it the other cows,

did the cow think the sceme up by hisself? 

are there any know terriorist herds in the area,

questions, questions questions.

Wunner if ole AK pushed it....................

I hate when that happens.....

[Delmonico]

Most likely was an inferior 4 or 6 cylinder tractor beam, tryin' to save fuel caused this accident, should have never happened cause "they could have had a V-8."

Thinkin' it's global warmin'.  It's all global warmin'. It's too cool it's global warmin'..........

[Ozark Tracker]

well I hpe we do get a little global warming,  won't have to have sa much wood to burn,  boy that splitter will work ya ta death,  the splitting ain't hard it's that stacking it when you get done.  sure gets ya just about waist level.

the splitter sure works easy, idle it down and you can still split all the wood yoiu want.  even the big stuff (18 to 20 inches)  course it ash and it splits easy anyway, but it sure is nice not to have to swing the mall.
