August...the hottest month of the year. A month with no holidays. If
you think of the whole year as one day, August would be your afternoon
siesta. Suddenly I'm Josh felt like being a little different this week. So he had his
sister put his hair in a slue of tiny braids. He only has, like, 3 inches
on the top, with the sides and back shaved. His new *do* made him look like
something you'd use to scrub the tires on yer car with.
Weazer (the Weird) hates that dot on the wall. He jumps and tries to
get it, over and over. But that's not enough personality for one cat. He
has taken to eating his dried food to a new level. We watched him use his
paw to scoop up a piece and place it in his mouth. After a few, he would
clean his claws and resume his meal. (Mmmm...finger lickin' good.)
Rick tells us of a concert he went to the other night. He was
sortta-but-not-really complaining about the event. It cost him $17. He had
to travel 50 miles. There were only 3 of them and they played no
instruments. He suspects they weren't singing but lip synching. He says
they danced around on the stage to such tunes as "Get Down Tonight". And
why not? They were KC and the Sunshine Band. (I didn't know they were
still around, not even 3 of 'em.)
Mindy has changed her mind again. Now she wants a Jeep instead of a
Mustang. Not just because the top can be removed, either. The
possibilities of what she can do in one strikes her fancy. She says "No
waiting in traffic, I could jump the curb and go on." She also tells us
that guys like chicks with *power* vehicles. (Hmmm...maybe I should get
myself a John Deere tractor.)
Nikki was attacked by one of my pet praying mantis'. Some of us GALS
were out on the west patio, discussing the treasury and planning events.
She saw the bug above the door. It was cocking it's head from side to side,
eyeballing her REAL hard. Rubbing it's little hands together. She pointed
her finger at it and said "Don't even *think* about it!" Just then, it flew
straight for her head. She jumped out of her chair swiping at it and
yelling a few choice expletives. I can report that Nikki won the battle and
the bug flew to a nearby plant. But she was nervous for the rest of the
meeting and kept close watch on it. (Poor baby, did she hurt you?)
CoffeyMate is glad her friends live in the city and don't have gardens.
She can give them all the extra vegetables she gets out of hers. No waste.
For there are only two things she can't do. She can't sing and she can't can.

And if I'm elected President of the United States, I promise to sign a
bill making all numbered keyboards (ie..PC's, phones, calculators, remotes,
cash registers, etc.) in the same sequence. Put 1-2-3 either at the top or
the bottom. I don't care which, just so it's universal!
Your President,
Kaye Coffey
