Ask fred if he knows 'I ride an old paint'

Too warm to cook; but there's a selection of cold salads and cold cuts on the sideboard. Serviche, sushi and sashimi are back in the cooler.

It's a cool winter dusk, looking out the estern window across Rushcutter's bay to Sydney harbour. I see a sheet of pale blue sky, sparkling city lights, dozens of white boats bobbing in the bay, and dark buildings rising up against the skyline.

aaah, a sip of a cool drink, and the sounds of a guitar picking out "Four Little Johnny Cakes.."

under the table, a blue cattle dog named fred hums along..

Ain't none of that ironmongery that works; it's all welded shut and the barrels plugged. I'm just haulin' it off to a metal sculptor who wants to melt it down.

Moose Drool? Certainly, m'dear. Now that I've had my lemonade it's time to Drool.

Make that,"practice singing". I didn't mean to cast a misspell on you people. I'll leave that to whoever wanders back with "the wand".

A change from the traditional crocks of the usual stuff, Bruce. It'll be here "after a while", as Bill Haley or Bobby Charles would say.

In the meantime, we can practice somging "Camping In Cayman Land" along with Reno & Smiley (or Harrell) and hold a contest to finish a joke starting with:

"Now, this crocodile comes into a bar and says to the bartender......"

....and the one who comes closest to what the crocodile actually says when he or she finally gets here gets a prize yet to be decided on.

That way, the Giant Squid might have an easier time of it this year. I've heard he's coming, so forewarned is ten-armed. And, for once, Rapaire will make sure that someone ("The American") will even have more arms than the squid. Even Wyatt or Wild Bill didn't bring that much iron into a saloon.

And the spectacular sunsets are on the California side, mostly due to the quantity of wildfire smoke in the air. Blazing, lurid, red-orange sunsets they are...but look at 'em through the windoiw, don't sit outside; the air out there is foul!

Rapaire, didja bring any Moose Drool?

If you'll take a look out the Texas side of the establishment you'll see the evenings aren't getting below about 80 (means the tomatoes have to be pollinated artificially now). I walked around the outside of the building spraying my garlic tea, so the mosquitoes will vamoose for the time being, and it will smell like a fine Italian restaurant.

Does someone have one of those big ol' porch glider-type of swings? That would be nice out on the porch.

"Excuse me," he politely says to the barman, "but would you have some place I can dump all this crap? It's okay, I never carry any ammunition. And I'd like some lemonade straight up."

Well chaps, Midsummer is here, Solstice greetings to all, it's downhill from now on and less than 6 months til Christmas!

Pull up a cane chair, pour me a Long Island Iced tea, put the AC on high and light the mosquito repelling candle...

Here in the UK we're still waiting for the long hot evenings, although it's still pretty light up til 9.30-10.00pm, it's been a bit breezy for sitting out in the evening.

So open up the big shutters on the side of the Tavern and let's get those sunsets going!
