No.

But.

There are a few Ian Drury and the Blockheads tunes on my iPod.

And that is one of them.

Not buying the K3, no camera store anywhere near where I am.
However, we do have plenty of smoked reindeer cold cuts, Finnish rye bread and cheese

Cool coffee mug

in my younger days, I hunted white tail deer in Iowa

I was lucky enough to get a decent buck and decided to have it turned into a " sculpture "

my young son called it Rudolph and said he would tell them that we had Rudolph on the wall

I said ok but tell your friends that it wasn't a reindeer

Nice trophy Sly!

Well DUI is a felony in Canada and even if you were convicted of misdemeanor DUI in the US, Canada still considers it a felony and you a felon.

If I were a border guard I would ban everyone from entering this morning. Then again I am in a nasty mood this morning having been rudely awakened at 1:38 this morning with a cramp in the calf muscle of my left leg. Several loooooooooooooooooong minutes of "discomfort" (See note 1). Still working to soften it up. Limping around the house and it is finally working itself out. Never had that one before. This getting old is not all it's cracked up to be but as George Burns once said, "It sure beats the alternative.".

Note 1: Discomfort - A medical term meaning excruciating pain. Usually used by the doctor to describe any pain associated with a procedure before you give said doctor permission to go ahead and perform it. As in "There will be some discomfort afterwards."

More water and magnesium rocks

Dehydration is another major cause.
I'll probably get a charlie horse tonight, but it's been a good while since I've had a jump out of bed and start walking around cramp.

You are getting me a horse? What a nice guy!!

Those two I had the other night were so intense I couldn't jump put of bed and walk.

It was more like I fell onto the floor next to the bed and writhed in extreme agony. It really sucks when there is nothing one can do except wait for it to subside.

Magnesium....works really well

Well look who's back.

See, I told 'em you were OK.

Probably out exploring the Great White North in that Subaru, taking pictures, eh?

I have always had a sweet tooth. My sweet palate has matured though.

No corn syrup.

Little, if any white (death) sugar.

Brown sugar in my coffee, sprinkled with butter and some cinnamon on mashed up baked sweet potatoes, sprinkled on pie crust, to make cinnamon toast, and in that stuff that makes apple crisp so delicious.

Mostly I use fresh raw honey though.

In tea, on cereal, toasted english muffins, mixed with peanut butter and spread on toasted english muffins or for a lunchtime sammich on some whole grain bread, drizzled on salmon (along with some secret herbs and spices) while grilling a nice fillet or steak(the belly cuts taste the best because of the higher fat content there).

Sometimes I even just open the jar, dip a spoon in and take a spoonful, just to enjoy the sweet goodness from the honeybees.

My mom (in her 80's) has been a beekeeper for many years now. She places hives in different areas and gets varied shades from light gold to dark amber, almost molasses like grades of honey. The dark stuff has a molasses like taste and quality, the lighter shades are light and unique, some having flavors like lavender or clover.

I do love honey; my breakfast is usually peanut butter (natural, no salt or sugar) and honey on toast.

Or is Savoche having one with himself?

Sorry, what is he having with himself?
