I was sittin' in the livin' room watching Sunday morning TV with Vern and the dogs, something I don't do often because TV offends me with its commercials and its insipid programming and because Sunday only comes once a week. This morning wasn't much different, but there was a report on the largest old cars collection in the world, many of which were donated by the family of the fabulously wealthy and late Harold LeMay.

Once again, this year's Facelift is approaching and I'm in need of a ride up to Yellow Pine on Sunday evening or Monday morning early. That's Sept. 24 or 25. I'm staying the week to volunteer in the booths in the mall.
My message board is right here or call me at the number listed in the OP of this thread, please.
--MFM thanks you

I have stumbled across an article from 2008 concerning CHONGO. Here is the link, should you like to find out more about Oor Chookie.

"Leathery skin, knowing eyes and a dilettante’s smile gave him the cabalistic twinkle of a movie pirate."
You go spend all this money to do something that basically only improves the world by improving your outlook on it,” he would say, “and if you don’t take it and do something with it, it’s narcissistic.”

Thank you, Chico.
And thank you, Chico Marx.
The well-traveled cheese lover Karen McCann on California cheese, a subject worth knowing about.
Risotto recipe included.

"Have you ever smelled the feet of athletic angels?"Trivia--
It takes about five pounds of sheep's milk to make a pound of cheese; or seven pounds of goat's milk, or ten pounds of cow's milk should yield about the same.
Advice--
Cheese is best at room temp.
Visit the Flames' Free Advice and Cheese Shop, just down the street and up yours.
We have some valuable free advice for each and every visitor from Cheeses of Nazareth, specializing in goat's milk cheeses, all organic.
Here's some free advice from Karen McCann:
"I’ve always said there are some things in life — chocolate, wine, your partner’s sense of humor — where you simply can’t compromise on quality, and I’ve now added cheese to the short list."

Sugar beet railcars for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles.
We'd know we were in Manstinka, it was no surprise.
We could tell simply from all the tears in our eyes.
I know a guy named Andy who sells "MolMix" dairy cattle food, high sugar content. He was the fodder of several kids and my brudder-in-law.
Manteca, as I've said before, = lard

All these blues & old tunes were suggested by the man-behind-the-curtain, Mr. Jones, who maintains a lively correspondence with me.
So thanks.
