Random Thoughts (on this Monday) 
1.  After further review, I have one bottle of hot sauce that says “desert” and two that say “dessert”
2.  More than likely I will be out of the area for the next few days
3.  “Yedinak Call” – I now have to go with the mail clerk to pick up packages at the [...]

Had to post some pictures of the “sauce”.  Now the only question is, Ralph, is it for the dessert or is it for the desert?  Hmmmmmm. . . . .

A big ’shout out’ to my cousin Ralph in New York at the Waterfront Ale House.  Sent me my own Desert Hot Sauce.  Looooks good, in fact, I just tried it, wow, is it hot!  Should be good on the eggs they serve over here.

Ouch!  Another person with the same name out there.  My condolences!
2)  Check out this article.  Thought it was interesting, seeing [...]

I don’t know where to begin this post today.  Or how to go about putting it into words.  My emotions are still running high, thanks to all of you yesterday.  Let me begin this by saying I am a pretty modest, unassuming person; least I think I am.  What does that have to do with anything?  Well, throughout this [...]

Some of you may get this, some may not.  Least I have you thinking!
