New England Off Topic and Banter as Most Brilliantly Proposed by Cape Cod MINI

Smart bird.

This place is pretty quiet lately. Where did everybody go?

The woman in the office across from me (known as "Fiddlehead" for unwittingly eating raw fiddleheads and then spending a day puking, not realizing that one has to boil fiddleheads for ten minutes to kill certain toxins) came in today and said her dog ate a small nail last night, so the vet said they should feed the dog (a lab) a "vaseline sandwich" and search what comes out the other side for the nail. Her and her husband are discussing which of them will work from home tomorrow and spend the day on "slippery poop inspection patrol". Technically it's her dog, not her husband's, but it was her husband's work around the house that provided the nail, plus she gets sick when dealing with dog digestive functions. Who checks the poop? Discuss.

Oh, and it got down to "ding!" temperature last night, the low in Burlington was 37°...

With topics like that, and you wonder why it's been slow?

"Ding"? What's that? Actually, I'm not sure if the Mazda makes a noise when the temperature drops to a certain point. It was in the forties this morning; I'd assume still too warm for any possible dinging.

It was either this or go back to discussing Jock and Secco's morning "regularities". Take your pick.

You know, ding, like a little bell, as opposed to the kind of ding your new car will inevitably be getting courtesy a callously shoved shopping cart at the grocery store sometime within the next two months. Don't fight it, just start getting used to the idea now...

Gee, isn't it getting awful close to the temperature where water changes to a solid state? How depressing - what can you possibly do when that happens? (Oh, I know - have more material to chill the gin and tonics!)

[NoNo]

Gin & tonic? I could sure use one or ten of those right now.

Your new car giving you the jitters? I tell you, it needs to be blessed!

What's your problem NoNo? Pull up a stool and let me buy you a few. Not car problems I hope!

Forgot to mention we have a friend who is a bona fide Jesuit priest, he'll be glad to bless your car. He mentioned he had to bless every car in a town in Ecuador while he was posted there!

I think Ricardo's friend's dog might have on you can borrow. (Not to mention Jock & Secco...)
