IT'S FINALLY COLD IN WEST,TEXAS

It's in the 30's..and think it crept down to the 20's...dang...I opened the door to get the paper this morning and Annie usually goes out to eat some grass when I do..she stuck one paw out the door, turned and looked at me and said in cat lingo 'You gotta be fucking kidding ' and came back inside..She wouldn't even go out with her little sweater on...I have to go out to feed the birds..but I will be bundled up really good, wearing my Supergirl Cap that Junebugg sent me for Xmas..I have a little ritual now when I go out the door with it on my head...I throw open the door and go 'TADA'. Makes me feel super...

I am having soo much fun with my scanner/printer copier...and found the pictures I took when I was down in Austin and Kingland while I was taking care of Bolish and Yippy fucking Skippy...I hope I don't bore the shit out of you with all these pictures, but it amuses me and that's all that matters..Not that I don't take into consideration your wants and feelings..it's just that amusing me is more fun..This picture is of Shady Lane and Bolish at the Kingland house.

This one is of Brewster...Shady's terrific husband on the dock behind their house on Lake Austin...He is the best..he puts up with her, she puts up with him..You can't tell but He lost his leg from right below the knee and has an 'unfoot'...he lost it in a jetski boat accident..years and years ago..believe me..it doesn't slow him down a bit..he waterskis, races race carts,does everything he ever has and more...I'm crazy about him...plus he likes me..which is a huge compliment as he doesn't much like Shady's friends..They actually make me look sorta normal...(they're mostly yankees)This is Bolish and Yippy fucking Skippy...nuff said about the dog..Bolish by the way is doing terrific in the new 'home' and sad to say, doesn't remember me much at all..which is ok...I remember him....

This is the view from the right side of Lane and Brewsters house on Lake Austin...I love their little house on the Lake..If I had a kabillion dollars I would buy the lot right next door to them and build a little house..but the cost of just putting in a sewer system is like $100,ooo..they have to be a certain type and they are expensive and they are hard to do as there is limited room..But the view is just fantastic..The Steiner Ranch where we used to live and where we first met is right across the lake..It's now a mulitmillion dollar housing area...where it used to be about 100 people and several hundred rodeo livestock and a few drunk cowboys..Ahh, the good ole days..this is the view of Shady and Brewster's dock..they have 2 docks..Brewster and Lane run their own boat shop..called Custom Fiberglass..If you're ever in Austin, Texas and want your boat fixed, or buy one, or jetski or just bullshit...Stop by...although if Shady's in a pissy mood you might not want to bullshit...She does not suffer assholes lightly.

Ok..that's all the pictures for now..still have ones of little asshole, the apt.and others..but will try and spread them out over a time...

BROUGHT TO YOU BY FRICK AND FRACK

Holy shit!...Where to begin?...Holy shit!...Made good time to Austin...got lost once but then after I got back on track I found my way to Shady and Brewster's house with no problem..and believe me...they live right next door to way the fuck out there..They live right on Lake Austin and one of there docks is almost under water..I spent the night and we had a great visit..I am crazy about those two people..and Brewster is like a big over grown kid..He lost part of his leg racing boats when he was way young..mid 20's I think..and he and Lane own a boat show and also make custom boats..if you want one...He ski's, races go-carts,fly's those motor ran airplanes, and helicopters..nothing stops him from doing what he wants..and Lane is all for it..says it's cheaper then him going out drinking and whoring...Lane's dad Bolish is 'polock'..that's what she calls him...he's a sweety..I will have no problem with him..We are back at his home in Kingsland and it's a ugly little town(bigger than West) but the people are so nice and friendly..but then...this is Texas..and we do friendly well..I have been trying for the entire day to get on line...Brewster's 'little friend'(as Lane refers to him)Vincent put me together a compaq,intel pentium with windows vista ...it's fucking fantastic...Lane and I were like Laurel and Hardy or Frick and Frack trying to get on line..we bought a double jack..still didn't work,bought a plug converter, still wouldn't work...finally Vincent called and walked me through getting on line..new dial up number ...had to talk to some schmuck in Indian named John to get my sign in name and password..well..duh! I can't remember either one of them..so remembered my sign in name and they gave me a new password..but couldn't remember the ips or ipq or what ever the fuck that thing is...I thought it was AT&T.net..he wouldn't sign me in till I remembered..said look John...I know my address, my phone number, my ss number and I have a tattoo on my left titty...give me some slack..what is it?...Finally he gave me a choice and when he said sbcglobal I remembered...what a mess..so anyhow..I'm hooked up and happy as a hog in slop...Rob is standing over me watching me type...he said I type good...ha..
I went with Rob and his dog Skippy (who is a little neurotic yippy terrier)on a walk and one of his neighbor ladies came out to welcome him back..and I introduced myself and she clasped my hand in both of hers..smiled really big and said :"Are you a christian?".....My first initial thought was...you nosy bitch...what the fuck?...You all know that if you don't want to know...don't ask(about anything)..if you ask..you're going to get the truth...so I said:"No, I'm not...I'm a pagan."..she actually clutched both her hands to her heart and gasped...and her big ass smile sorta slipped some...she said:"You don't believe in Jesus ?...your not a christian?"I said:"I believe that Jesus was a prophet and a really nice guy but I believe in a Goddess."...and it was one of those beautiful day with clouds the size of sailing ships and she pointed at the sky and said look at the Lord's work?" and I said:"And the Goddess is most pleased."...and she grabbed my hands again and started in on about giving myself over to Jesus..and I pulled my hands away and said:"Look, you asked me if I was a christian, and I said I wasn't..and I would never have asked you such a question because it's none of my business, but you asked me and I told you..and now your trying to sell me Jesus..I wouldn't try to change your views on Christianity and I resent you trying to change mine."..she said:"Oh, I'm not trying to do that(yeah,.....right)...and I said:"Well then..the subject's closed."....and Rob and I continued on our walk...fuck...who the hell greets a total stranger with "are you a christian?"...I was telling Brewster about it when he called and he laughed his ass off...said sounds like the OK corral..ha..
I am having fun here..Rob and I are going to get along fine..I get to cook for someone and 'mother someone'...and he gets to have someone take care of him...so it will work out...I don't know how long I will be here..when she doesn't need me any more...then I will go home..but I like being able to help her and Brewster..
Now that I am hooked up..I will stop by and say howdy..but right now...I am set up in a very uncomfortable place and getting cramps in shoulders and neck from typing this..so catch y'all later...
