	<description><![CDATA[Years ago when I lived on McKnight Road on the Eastern border of St. Paul, there was a strip mall across the Freeway called Sunset or Sunrise or Sun-something. Once when attempting to pull into a parking space an old lady...I mean 80's at least...cut me off and when I tooted at her she flipped me the bird. When I told my older brother about that, we got a good laugh trying to imagine OUR grandmother (who emigrated from Sweden in 1892)giving someone the finger. This comes to mind because over the week-end, as I was pulling into a parking space at Cub Foods, I was purposefully cut off by some 20-something. My reflexes are very slow when it comes to beeping the car-horn, but I fumbled about and gave a rather anemic toot. Sometimes I am a very accomplished lip-reader and it wasn't difficult to figure out she said, "Shut the fuck up"...and in some sort of uncharacteristic lapse I flipped her off. I can just imagine her telling her friends that some grandfatherly guy gave her the finger at Cub.<BR><BR>
This reminds me of when I would ride the city bus and laugh at the weird looking people as they climbed on. I, then, was doubly chagrined when I noticed kids laughing among themselves when <U>I</U> got on a bus.<BR><BR>
btw...today the temp was well into the 70's and tonight I plan to sleep with an open window. What a wonderful world we live in.<BR><BR>
It's been a good couple of days and tomorrow I think I shall veg....I'm getting very good at doing that.<BR><BR>

You are going to veg?
The most scary thing that you have written her involves the 'open window'!!!!!!!!!!
Don't JUMP!
Hehe
Actually by sleeping with the window open you are destined to have a horrible sore throat in three days!
Save an old dirty sock to tie around your neck to get rid of it! (old remedy)
And liniment...lots of liniment! External use only!
I am certain that by the time you read this phlegm wads will be forming rapidly in your lungs and nasal passageways!
You are SOOOO rushingthe season my dear!]]></description>
