Today has been one busy day at the ranch. Tony and John had to drive to Seguin to pick up dog food, while I held down the fort. I caught up on paperwork and then checked my e-mails and I had over a hundred of them—two were from friends and the rest were spam.
Herb wrote to tell me that he is glad that Kinky is becoming more health conscious, but had some serious issues—concerning the African peppers that Kinky is taking because, if it’s too hot for the mouth—what kind of damage could it be doing to his stomach lining? And, Herb is definitely not going on record as saying he’s happy that Kinky is taking the peppers, because he’s not. Sorry, about that Herb, I misunderstood. Herb also told me to my delight—that Erb is the hispanic form of `Erberto—so I am exonerated! Yeah, Erb! I mean Herb! And, thank you for wishing us luck with the fishing!
Spike wrote to me, telling me that her 2007 Naked calendars—which are totally awesone—with Kinky being the photo for July —is selling so fast, that she is spending more time shipping them out than she is able to write! If you want one, you had better order now from Wolfmueller’s Books or go to Spike’s site—they’re selling like hot cakes and you know what that means!
There is so much to tell about today’s happenings, but I must sign off, because I am fixing to vacuum the trailer and dust it, so tomorrow when Maribeth comes to babysit—it will look like we don’t live here. Then I have to pack for our twenty-four hour vacation.
I told Kinky today, while he and I were designing a new holiday card for the rescue ranch—that Tony and I are taking our: three cameras, two ipods, two laptops and ten rods and reels and he laughed. He said, “The older a person gets—the more stuff they take with them on trips.”
Will write later—Gone Fishin’

Well, I'm glad Herb said something, I've had a couple of concerns myself. Not that I know Kinky or anything, other than he has a good eye for great dogs (Kris/Prince, for instance)... when I heard about the African Cayenne pepper two words came to mind: mucosal lining.
Kinky, Darlin', whatever you're doing with that pepper you just be careful to wash your hands *very carefully* afterwards. Under no circumstances do you want that stuff coming into contact with any of your mucosal linings. We can take it off board if you need details, but, you're a very smart man and I'm sure you get my drift. For Petunia's sake.. DO NOT RUB YOUR... EYE ; ))))
So, while Nancy is away you just say no to the hot pepper stuff, she's more than a call away and might just have a big bass on the line when you need her most. LOL
On a lighter note, this has been one of the warmer Hallowe'en nights in Canadian history: no snow, no rain, no sleet. Kris/Prince had a great first Canadian Hallowe'en, he definitely likes it here!
Nancy & Tony: FISH ON!! Have fun & we look forward to hearing your fishtales when you return.

P.S. I can't find a link for that 2008 calendar, Nancy. Can you post an actual link on your blog when you get back from your trip? Thanks!
I just read your earlier post about Kinky and the hot peppers, stomach lining, and so on.
Well, I’m also at “that” age now, so my doc recommended that I get the test where they run the tube down your throat to check on your stomach, upper intestines, etc.
I was a little apprehensive as I’m not too good with needles, doctors and the like, so I had some normal fears about the test - like possible internal bleeding from a nick, or not waking up from the anesthesia - normal complications. What I “didn’t” figure on was that they would nearly knock one of my bottom teeth out when they removed the tube or mouth guard while I was still asleep. All my teeth were very securely in place when I got there, and now I have a loose one that I’ll have to deal with soon I’m sure.
Great. So not only am I going blind and have to use reading glasses to even work the microwave, I’m also going deaf - I say “huh” to most people’s soft comments these days…and now I’m losing my teeth too! I have the weirdest luck sometimes…
Ah, the fifties… And I didn’t even mention that one of my shoulders is now lower than the other after I fell backwards out of a flipping porch swing and broke it. What a great video that would have been! It’s a wonder I wasn’t killed - the headlines though would have been interesting - “Texas Woman Killed by Porch Swing“. I was sitting sideways with my feet up and all my weight on the swing back. When the other person got up, it flipped backwards and literally hurled me onto the concrete porch. It was hilarious though somewhat painful at the time.
One other note - since I was being quite the sniveling baby when they were putting the IV needle in, I’d like Kinky to know he helped me get through that medical moment. My daughter was at my bedside all the while saying, “Don’t worry, Mom, it’s okay - just think about Kinky!” (I'd just seen him here in LV the day before.) And I did, but they put the needle in anyway. (Was he ever able to see the recent pic of him and me that’s posted on my blog from your pc? I‘ve got lots more that’s posted there as well so people who visit my blog can also check out his newest book, your book, Utopia, Kinky cigars, etc.) Cheers! Judy
