Nope, no allergies to food. I might be strange but it's a legitimate strange if you know what I mean :) I'll eat anything, rattlesnake, kangaroo you name it.

Ok, story time!

When I first started writing software as a professional I worked for a company that also employed someone recently from China. She liked to be called Jane. This was many years ago and China was not the place it is now.

Well, one day she tells me about this delicacy they love called a thousand year old egg. (Some call it a hundred year old egg.) Basically, they coat an egg in spices and other things and bury it in the ground for a good long time. Then you peel and eat. I said sure! I'll try it so she brought one in.

Of course the outside was all discolored and, upon peeling the shell, the inside was the consistency of a hard boiled egg. And it was translucent green. Kind of stunk too. You think that eggplant went too long before eating? Hah! So, as promised, I took a bite. Oh my, it was the worst taste I ever tasted. And I couldn't get it out of my mouth. For 24 hours. Foul, foul stuff. I gave her back what was left of my half and she polished all of it off with gusto! It was simply the worst think I've ever eaten in my life. And the taste wouldn't go away. But, I did try it :)

(But I'd never eat another, hehehe)

Earth for now.
Hey REOville,

Just wanted to stop in and say hi. I have yet to get any work done on restoring my 1981 Goldwing as this warm weather has brought on a huge HunnyDo list and the kids car has been neglected too long as well. Hopefully I will get more time and at least get caught up here. Oh and lets not forget about tending the garden that just HAD to be planted and now is ONLY maintained by me, hmmm..funny how that works.

I hope everyone is well and enjoying this summer. I sure wish I had a portable air conditioner I could strap on though, I hate being not and sweaty.

Good morning Reoville and a special good morning to Fleet.

Always looking forward to your stories Fleet. Keep'em coming and that book of yours will write it self.

Should be a beautiful day here in the Bay Area, so I decided to play some golf. I need a fourth, so if anybody is interested tee time is 10:27am.

Have a great day and see you at the 19th hole!


Just noticed it's been 701 days since my last cigarette! WooHoo!!!!

LOL While I'm not on the most wanted list I will pretend that I am, pics of the Reos I'll post. :)

Kay you are a hoot. But after talking to me on the phone you should know I can't read between the dots and I don't "obey" very well. :laugh: I think I told you on the phone that I had a face for radio. But I will think about it. It really was neat to put a face with a name on that thread but I fell in love with most of ya'll sight unseen. There are some wonderful people that live in reoville. :)

If I get a decent pic....I will post it. (but don't hold your breath) ;)

The last person that came looking for me with a shotgun underestimated the heat and rural nature of where i live, as well as the confusing street names and forgot to pack his medicine, assuming finding an Englishman would be like shooting fish in a barrel.

5 hours later and dehydrated, confused and totally lost, the police had to escort him home. Too bad!

701 days is awesome! And thank you for the kind words, they are much appreciated! Hope you had a good day golfing. I've never had a bad day. Score might not be what I want, but it was always a good day when on the course!

Suppose someone else took them...husband she'd abandoned maybe or forgotten all about?

Choose targets wisely! He maybe susceptible to a wood Reo ;)

Well I can believe a forgotten husband. One has only to look to yesterday to see that's a real possibility :)
