Good morning, folks. I think winter is here to stay tooalthough they're forecasting rain and thunderstorms tonight and tommorow. They're even saying that there could be a severe storm or two tommorow in Southeast oklahoma.

Tonight's the Big 12 Championship Game. OU vs. Colorado. Tonight at 7 on ABC.

How's it going, Snippy?

Morning Iris7.

I realized I had done the wrong thing in not volunteering.

Just a choice not taken, doesn't make it wrong.

Hi Feather.

[alfa6]

Any word on when your display equipment will get in?

Do we need to have an intervention with snippy about a vacation, hehehe

Y'all take care and rest up for the arival of the cedar, I'll probably hear the shout of joy here in Kansas City.

Regards

Vacation?! I'm lucky I get a lunch break. ;-)

"Boys!" Wilson bellowed, "Pick up that barrel and carry it down the hill. I will attend to her!"

For nearly three years, Pember had given orders and the men had taken them. Now they backed away, leaving their leader to confront the defiant matron by himself.

"Wilson," Pember said, "you have been in this hospital a long time. Do you think from what you know of me that the whiskey can be taken without my consent?"

That said, she stepped solidly between her foe and the whiskey barrel. She watched as Wilson's "fierce temper blazed up in his face, and catching me roughly by the shoulder, he called me a name that a decent woman seldom hears and even a wicked one resents." The bully was about to shove Pember out of his way when he heard a telltale click--the sound of a pistol being cocked, barely muted by the folds of the matron's homespun skirt. Pember told him to leave. "If one bullet is lost," she warned, "there are five more ready, and the room is too small for even a woman to miss six times."



I wonder how badly Wilson soiled himself?
Weaker sex? Riiight.
