>>"Anyway, Jim, I bet that you have a whole bunch of recycling bins under that crusty exterior, and are out in the backyard as I speak, sweeping autumn leaves into the compost heap. "<<

Christine, my recycling bins are filled with used motor oil which I burn in the summer to keep down the mosquitos. The crusty exterior on my house is because there are 27 coats of lead based paint on it which is peeling off in sheets. The squirrels love to chew on the paint chips and I enjoy watching them turn bald and develop tremors. I raked the leaves last weekend and burned them. The wind was blowing and the leaves touched off a few grass fires in the neighborhood. No real damage though. The neighbors never liked me anyway. The compost heap consists of kitty litter and cat sh*t. There is a 12 foot pile of the stuff in the backyard next to the brook that feeds the town reservoir.

We ate raw hamburger for Thanksgiving dinner in the hopes that one of us would come down with salmonella poisoning so that we could sue the supermarket and retire early. Unfortunately none of us got sick. I think I added too much salt.

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. I didn't.

Jim
