About time - we have been out of pretzels for two days. You can not have beer without pretzels. :lol: :lol:

Did you notice that we have another bunny?

We have six keeping Isaac company for now since most have an answer but want to be sure and we have 107 on the shore. Our record for the crowded shore is 132
It sure is crowded here - I think you missed me. I've been on shore for a while, drinking Stiegl Radler grapefruit. NO Malört!

Still with Isaac. I definitely see something, but, sadly as has been the case more often than not lately; I don't know what to do with it. Will continue to look at it periodically and hope the answer reveals itself.

Hey! I don't think there are too many Mid-Michiganders around here. I went to school in Mt. Pleasant and have now landed not too far away in Midland. Congrats on the double mugs, hopefully they'll send one my way one of these days!

On shore - was over on the old WSJ site for quite some time and have been trolling this forum - decided it was time to join back in the conversation!

And the city provided all of the services you need. When I was in high school the town of Mount Washington (the SW corner of Mass) was well known for being the smallest of Mass towns, with a population of 49. And they still had selectmen and an annual town meeting.
Mt. Washington also has a great fair, which I have attended for the past two years, even crossing state lines to get there. I picked up a very good immersion blender for $2 this year.

Stern Garden is looking shipshape and Isaac needs some exercise, so I’m handling him the shovel and shoving off to shore.
Come on guys, let’s get some more warm bodies onto Bob’s Excel shore party column so it might exceed its own personal best this time.

It is scary but we see that all the time - getting the answer while we were asleep. Amazing to think that your brain is working while you are not.

We may have another bunny but i venture to say I was the original Bunny and probably am senior
in years also.
