HEY LOLLY WE GOT A SPOT NOW!!!!

Yeah. I expect you and jimdy to keep me up-to-speed on the Riker trial.

[bender]

THEY SAID ON THE RADIO TODAY THAT IT SHOULD GO TO THE JURY AFTER THURS.  WE NEED TO GET WITH EVERYONE  MAYBE THEY WOULD JOIN US??

[LOsborne]

Jimdy and Santiago are already here. I'll spread the word to those I can contact. You do the same over in Daviess County. K?

[bender]

I'LL WORK ON THAT WHEN TIME COMES AROUND.  HOW YOUR GARDEN?

[LOsborne]

All the ripe tomatoes and peppers are gone. I took the last of them to Ohio last weekend. The plants have started producing new green ones (after I kicked their butts with copious applications of Miracle-Gro) but they are a long way from turning red. All this rain, I guess.

Is yours still producing?

I got a couple of fabulous Posey County cantaloupe last week. They must have weighed seven pounds apiece! The farmer's market comes downtown on Fridays, so I will definitely be looking for more of the same the day after tomorrow. Cantaloupe is my favorite. The kids used to call it "camelyope" and they could go through it like buzz-saws through soft pine.

I'M NOT PRODUCING,BUT THE TOMATOES ARE JUST COMING ON GOOD, BEANS ARE PUT UP.  WE HAVE BEEN BUSY ,NOW WERE WORKING HARD ON SALSA,AND JUICE!!

[Santiago]

I just discovered this site.  Bender what's your recipe for salsa?  Is it better than some of the commercial products such as Pace, made here in San Antonio?  I know homemade anything is usually better.  I really prefer  those salsas made with tomatillos which produce a green salsa.  You may not be able to find tomatillos in Indiana. 

MODIFIED to add a question.   Do the Mexican restaurants in Washington, E'ville, etc. greet you with a complimentary bowl of salsa and chips when you sit down?   That's been a long time custom in S.A.'s Mexican joints.  A friend in Florida tells me you have to order and are charged.  Hope that trend doesn't spread.  Here if you empty the bowl before the entree arrives, they refill a la palone.

                     Good to hear from you again!!!!

[Santiago]

Thanks.   You could also add some of that to a hunk of Velveeta that's been melted.  Makes a great
queso dip.

Do the Mexican restaurants in Washington, E'ville, etc. greet you with a complimentary bowl of salsa and chips when you sit down?

I don't know about Warshington, but that is the custom here in E'ville. Also in Beaver Dam, KY I learned a couple of weeks ago. The chips were thin, crispy and warm, and the salsa was fresh "squoze." Huge portions, very cheap, really clean place. But still not worth a drive to Beaver Dam unless you have to go there.

[Santiago]

Your mention of Beaver Dam, Ky brought a flashback to my teens.  Somewhere in the White River bottomlands of Knox Co. there is a place called Beaver Dam.  I couldn't find the spot now if I had too, but there was a rickety old cabin there called Podunk where we used to camp out and fish.  My gang  took our own sleeping bags though there was a bed with an old matress full of creepy, crawly things.  Lordy, if they did some DNA testing on that old thing it's hard to tell who or what they would come up with!

[LOsborne]

...there was a bed with an old matress full of creepy, crawly things.  .

Damn, Santi! That sounds like a sasquatch breeding ground! Do Morgan and the PPDC BOC (Bigfoot Outreach Committee) know about this? I realize that was a few years ago, but I have never heard any reference to a breeding population of sasquatches in Knox Co. I'm sure you remember, the last such breeding population is in Martin Co., and inbreeding has caused some unfortunate latent characteristics to become common -- like both eyes on the same side of the nose, and a distressing fondness for leisure suits and old BeeGees recordings.

That reminds me, do you know if Lester has started seeing the BarMaid at the DewDropInn, again?

[Santiago]

Lo, you may be on to something.  If that old cabin is still there it  would be an ideal place for a breeding ground for those creatures of the night.  As I recall it was an old school bus shell and although in good shape a half century ago, it might well be still standing.  I'm sure it would be visible from the river. If the PPDC  got on the river at Petersburg, they wouldn't have to go very far southwest to locate the spot.  It would be on the  right bank if going south.  Might be worth checking out.  It was in the vacinity of what was then called Michael Hill not far from Lucky Point where all the UFO's and weird sounds have recently been seen and heard by a county mountie who happened to stop to relieve himself. (His story. It's hard to imagine a patrol car down in that area.) Maybe Morgan and the good Dr. should check it out.
