This is sad, eh? They can't find people who need homes in California?

It's a hard rain gonna fall, Sarah.

Sarah? I'm not that pretty.

Maybe not physically, but mentally

Ha! Sorry. Oh shit. It's true. You're not.

Still not that pretty. But thank you, Jim.

This is the time of year that Jim gets all the good inland weather and we by the lake get stuck with the cold. I'm jealous, Jim.

I'll send as much good weather your way that I can. Right now there is quite a bit of thunder and lightning, I'll try to keep that here.

Like I said -- hard rain.

Oh, that's coming tonight? I hope I closed the car windows.

Lar-Pierre the weather man

I'm confuzzled. Did Sarah delete some comments?

I agree. I read there was a program down south somewhere where they were actually putting these kinds of houses to a good purpose, renting them cheaply to homeless people hit by the hard times. It seemed it was a good program. Why can't the banks come up with something like that instead of all this waste?

::muttering with Bunny::

That's insane! Doesn't Habitat for Humanity take construction materials from houses being remodeled to reuse them? There's a store here with old cabinets and fixtures, and LUMBER from old houses for sale. I bought a door there that fit the rest of my house in style AND in size, it was great!
They should reuse that lumber and other materials, not grind them up for compost.
Aaaargh!

Makes me wanna cry. Or kill someone.

Or cry whilst killing someone.

This seems to be an example of the mentality of the past that we need to change.

Pushes Jackie between Lori and me

RA, unless you work for the banks, I think you're (relatively) safe.

Hey, no pushing!

I don't know which Sarah you thought he was but I think we are all prettier. Tee hee.

Back on topic: four or five years ago it was all build build build around here are house values were skyrocketing. Now people who need houses can't afford them, even at the lower prices. Values were so inflated that even the "lower" prices are still too high, especially compared to other parts of the country. There are LOTS of new homes sitting empty.

Oh, no doubt.

But I still don't know what kind of animals you're afraid of. I guess I don't know you at all.

I know that Sarah N. has a phobia of chickens. And that Sarah Pi likes zebras.
Does that help, Larry?

This Sara N. is afraid of snakes, spiders, and clowns. Thank you.

that is a GREAT song by Edie Brickell

Edie recorded it, but Dylan wrote it. I haven't heard anyone sing it other than Dylan -- but I am eager to hear it. Thanks, Kevin.

Snakes, spiders and clowns. Got it.

Larry wrote: "Snakes, spiders and clowns. Got it."

Are you putting this into a spreadsheet Larry?

Are you afraid that I'm doing that, Jim?

::makes entry in spreadsheet::

Yup. Thanks, you.

Which Sarah?

didn't know that larry but now i assume almost every song is a cover by someone else. i have a playlist on my ipod called "covers" that only has known cover songs. i have like 7 versions of Mississippi Queen. Edie is in another playlist called "cool chix" with Norah Jones, Bonnie Raitt,Corinne Bailey Rae among other. as for dylan, i can't do dylan. great songs though. just the style...

No Cow? Now that really screws up my calculations!

::goes back to the spreadsheet, muttering under his breath::


Kevin -- I understand about Dylan. Quite often other people do his songs in a much more pleasing manner than he does.

Crap. I'll never get this right.

Please don't have that be right.

He wears a helmet, doesn't he?

I think if you go back to his WI Dells vacation pictures he may have been wearing a Speedo, so your calculations may be correct.

On his head you mean?

Larry wrote: "On his head you mean?"

Speedo on his head and helmet where?

Hahahha! Was he even in those pictures? If there is a speedo I'll ... I'll ... eat this bacon.

Hmmm .....

Turns out the final answer is as I suspected. Pi.

Sarah Pi wins.

What does she win?

BunWat wrote: "No look, its an easy fix. Just adjust the toasted bread factor and then this whole column will ... no wait... now RA wears a speedo, that can't be right. Damn. Lemme think. "

We in Wisconsin wear speedos all the time. We wear them to Brewers games, cheese factories, and while riding Harley-Davisons.

Speedos and Crocs. Nothing else.

Sally wrote: "What does she win?"

She's Queen Sarah for a day. If you had won, we would have dropped the h.

Don't be discouraged, though. And remember, you have to play to win.

I'm still unsure what the game is, exactly. But ok.

Larry - i did watch the dylan version and it was much better than more recent stuff. a new appreciation. here is the edie brickell cover:

speedo's and crocs. that is what they seriously wear in miami

speedo's and crocs. that is what they seriously wear in miami

But not with the same style we do in Wisconsin

right. they wear them on the beach with a $4500 gold nugget necklace

So does that go in the spreadsheet formula?

Sally wrote: "So does that go in the spreadsheet formula?"

I think that it had better, but will surely change the formula, Larry's got his work cut out for him.
