Yeah, I’m a fan of yours, too, D, even if you are heavy-handed when dishing out the benefit of the doubt!

Must say, still, I’m a bit disappointed that others aren’t weighing in on this, which IMNSHO, is a crag protruding from one of the major bergs we need to navigate as a community. (It’s basically down to you, me and nellie.) Guess everybody’s out scouring the countryside for acceptable BBQ.

You speak the plain honest truth. Always have and always will. It’s why I admire you so.

In all fairness, dawg isn’t the one who floated the notion to start with, and apparently isn’t the only one who’s OK with it. BTW, it’s not just age that creates barriers to online participation, economics is a big factor. Either way, when it seems like people are blind to that kind of issue, it gets my dander up.

smalltowngal, you’re 100% right. Sorry for letting you down. After the cussing, I definitely shoulda commenced to scolding. (Gosh knows where this soft spot for DawgFan came from…)

(Just for the record, keeping my senior neighbors updated on neighborhood stuff is my very favorite part of being actively involved in my neighborhood. Great stories, kind words, and warm smiles– what more could a person want? :0)

Just remember that strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no system for a basis of government. Supreme executive power comes from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!
