Nice...tickersoid - so they can afford to be picky? Nice to have happy swans about the place.<BR/><BR/>east of oregon - thanks! I love blogging.<BR/><BR/>hollyb - in your line of work, especially, I'll bet! Yup, the finer things of life!<BR/><BR/>barbara - thanks! Yeah, it's weird when you're very engrossed in the story and yet your eyelids keep shutting or you realize you've read the same line 5 times - time to turn out the light. <BR/><BR/>anonymous - Yeah! Exactly! I loved the depressed robot, too. <BR/><BR/>zelda - he is amazing. He has a new chick-lit book out that I bought, but haven't cracked open. He's brilliant. It's funny, but I started of disliking the intensely chatty Gus, but now I see the humor and grace behind his character - I LOVE that guy. <BR/><BR/>fathairybastard - Good for y'all for helping the frozen-winged duck - you probably saved a life, for all the poop clean up you had to do. <BR/><BR/>I LOVE the film, and I LOVE Patricia Neal who won the academy award for best actress on that film - brilliant, but yes, they had to be more subtle with the rape stuff for the film, just like A Streetcar Named Desire. Hud was a vile character, and Paul Newman did a good job. I'll check out the McCarthy.<BR/>You're right about driving on snow vs. driving on ice.

The central feature of the area is a little tank called French Lake. We used to walk around it with our dog and cat, and the ducks would come out and honk for bread. We found one with a frozen wing one winter. It had gotten stuck somehow and one wing was stuck together. Sad little sucker. We took it home and warmed it up in the garage. It shit everywhere. Eventually took it back. They build nests in the hedges around all the houses along the lake. You have to be careful driving by there and they make a huge mess, but people love them. <BR/><BR/>McMurtry is brilliant. Loved reading Horseman Pass By, which was made into the movie Hud back in the 60s. They cleaned the story up considerably for the screen. You should give it a try. A short quick one. I'm about 1/3rd of the way through Cormac McCarthy's No Country For Old Men, which is a kick ass story with amazing characters. Check it out. <BR/><BR/>And the thing about the weather, if it would just snow, people would be fine on the road. Dry snow is ok to drive on. It's the slush that turns to ice that fucks people up.FHBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04261425729050948728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-1165024537886354712006-12-01T19:55:00.000-06:002006-12-01T19:55:00.000-06:00I love Larry McMurtry.

But I need to re-read him now that I have a sense of humor and irony.Zeldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057183557031707514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-1165003965916619312006-12-01T14:12:00.000-06:002006-12-01T14:12:00.000-06:00Was it the robot in Hitchikers Guide that said "I ...Was it the robot in Hitchikers Guide that said "I get a headache thinking down to your level"...
