@ bear - who said redundancy is necessarily bad?

that'll make two of us plus that dale who is safely stashed away at workI'll be AFK for most of the day.
In watching the news this morning, the expected topic of the hurricane
cropped up a few times. (Local news, just to be clear.)
During each of those segments, the phrase ...
"THE GULF COAST OF TEXAS"
...was heard.
Think about it. It'll come to you.![]()
Early and very little coffee, but I still picked up on it.









I just answered my own question... possibly.
Vendors with a crap-load of things MAKE MONEY for eBay.
Peon me will only bring them a few bucks.
Ah. I get it now.
That APPEARS to be discriminatory.

Maybe somebody else will explain it.
But here's a hint - and an assignment...
Post a link here to a map that shows a non-Gulf "coast of Texas". I'll
check back in a few moments.
I can gibbs you a amswer dere PoppysYeah, yeah. There's no non-gulf COAST of Texas.
But it's the WORDING he's objecting to.
"The gulf coast of Texas". So does that mean he's got a problem with TX supposedly owning the gulf coast? Or is it that he's just being picky that you could eliminate the word "gulf".
The world will never know, I guess.

Too bad you didn't open the second one first! Keep it chilled, Atty, keep it chilled!Thanks Tibs. Give her some ice cream!
OK, flyby-ish.
Grrr.
I get home from errand with mom, and I have an appointment for a CT scan this afternoon. Well, in the mail are two envelopes...from health plan.
I open the first one, it's a DENIAL of the CT scan (need prior chest x-ray first or something). I'm about ready to panic because I only have a few minutes before I have to leave and have it done. Well, the 2nd letter was an approval (dated after the 1st one). So I guess I either didn't get the mail yesterday or they both came on the same day.
These basteds are going to give me a heart-attack before I ever get to deal with any other heath issues!!!
And I suppose they want me to get EXTRA radiation
Anyway, I'm trying to be cool about it. Hope they don't take my blood-pressure. But anyway, it's all working out in the end I guess. The doctor must have given them what-for. Good.
Grrrr. Oh well.
LOL!BOINK!!!! DER!!!! I BE SMART!!!![]()

Hoping for clean scan, Atty!!!!!!Thanks Tibs. Give her some ice cream!
