Yikes! Really glad you did this, Manfred. It would not do to let this day pass by without wishing one of my very fav. Mudcatters HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Artdarlin'...you know how much Rog and I value your friendship. I hope your day has been a good one and that the year is as good as it can be. You remain one of my heros.

People thank you. Actually it's tomorrow--the 9th.

Manfred----I mailed a small package to you yesterday. July 7. It was a beautiful day when I left home on my electric wheel chair thing, and by the time I got to the post office I was quite wet. Rain has just been excessive and strange this year; too cool as well. The post office people gave me first place in the wet t-shirt contest.

We're dealing with Carol's elderly aunt's multiple medical problems today. I'll be back later.

Again, thank you!

OK, then. Now I'm confused. Is today today or is today now tomorrow? Like, what date is it today--like as in now?

HEY. There's a new thing on computer. Spread the news. If you leave your cursor over the time, the date comes up. Wow. What they gonna think of next?

To Art, whom I do not know, may I say I'm delighted that 'it's today' - "Many Happy returns" - because I didn't get on Mudcat yesterday, I went to see Tanglefoot instead!
Have a wonderful birthday and thank you for all your Mudcatting!

Today I'm set to finish V.S. Naipaul's novel BEND IN THE RIVER for the 3rd time since I bought it originally some years back. Every time through it I'm more amazed by this man and his writing.

As I'm fond of saying, "Reading Naipaul is like taking the Krel mind boost!" (from the film Forbidden Planet)

Here's wishing you a very happy birthday, Art. In honor of the occasion, I've been listening to "That's The Ticket", a vinyl album from 1983. Great music (and great people) never get old.
