I remain calm.....I remain collected

I inhale and exhale slowly, my blood pressure remains normal.
It's Shannon's day off so he will come to the rescue some time this morning.
In the meantime I should be complimented for bearing up so well
under conditions that would bring a tear drop to the eye of a Sphinx.

Look at it this way, you could have been vacationing in Japan.

Or, in a more intellectual vein, "They also serve who only stand and wait."

You have to touch your big toe to the screen, cough out of the left side of your mouth while pressing CONTROL, ALT, DELETE, while you defrag the motherboard and replace the toner...
Let me know how it works!

Shannon came and went and the machine has been restored.
Every time I tried to send a picture a flag would pop up demanding to know my eMail address and password.
Sounds simple but try as I may the info wouldn't be accepted, in fact the threats got worse and even spread over into the received comments.
Shannon tried to explain what happened but to no avail.
So anyway I am back in business but the Tsunami pretty much rules the day so I'll run this stuff tomorrow.
Hopefully.

By the way Frank, with James Bros. in 1970 we had a day off in Battle Creek and we attended a showing of LaMancha presented by a local theater group.
Very nicely done, I wasn't aware til then that the setting was a dungeon and the cast entered and exited by means of a staircase lowered from the ceiling.

Buckles don't know if you remember me but I was a clown on the Miller Johnson show when you were there. One thing I remember was a guy who had a Lipizan stallion and his truck and trailer was in an accident and we were standing on the interstate trying to help him. it was raining and all turned out ok but I remember it being a mess. Also that was the year Smokey Jones got Tika That baby elephant was so small it was still pink on the bottom of it's feet. Then Charlie Germain sold the show to cliff Vargas.

Only horses I remember were Jack and Sandy Fulright's appaloosas.
I remember the little elephant tho,
Smokey and Kari took off for the LA Airport to pick her up in their VW van and when they returned I asked, "Wasn't she there?" and Smokey said, "She's in back".
Sure enough Kari was holding her between the front and back seats.

Loved the story of Kari & Tika in the back of the VW van! Scott Riddle presented Tika in '76 with the Hartzell's "Wallace & Rogers Circus" Smokey's three boys worked behind the scenes doing everything from ring curb, to concessions.

The most impressive part of the first production I saw of "La Mancha" was when the stairs dropped down from the ceiling. It really gave you the impression that you were underground. ~frank

PS - Sorry about the Supply Chain Toolworks, they're a client of mine. I guess I had signed on to their Google calendar when I was reading the blog on Friday.
