George,

 GP> Nice! I don't do Telnet -- not as simple as it was in DOS. . . or
 GP> Win98. . .

 GP> If you have HTTP access, I'm deffo interested to visit!

  It has a website interface, but once everything gets moved, I'll see what 
it does. I'm hoping everything will work OK.

  We were dealing with multiple rounds of severe weather the last few days
and overnight...but we've got 3 quiet weather days until the weekend, and
early next week.

 GP> You can take a stab at it if you like:

  I thought you went to a hockey game to see the fights. 

 GP> Yup -- Conunction Junction, I'm Just a Bill, Lolly Lolly, Get Your
 GP> Adverbs Here, stand out in my memory. . .

  I forgot to mention I'm just a Bill...and it wasn't Clinton. Ironically,
a local user is Bill Clinton, but it's not the one that got cozy with 
Monica. This one is also an amateur radio operator, and used to run a BBS 
in the area years ago.

 GP> I'll have to look them up. . . Two of my fave all time clean comics,
 GP> who tell funny tales are:  John Pinette(RIP), & Bob Newhart. . . they
 GP> live on, on YouTube, of course. . .

  Bob Newhart "lives" in another hobby I do...ham radio. On the Kentucky
D-Star Net, Net Control is Larry (NN4H is his callsign), with Darrell
(AC4YD is his callsign), and the other brother Daryl (me)(WX4QZ is my
callsign). 

 GP> Not bad -- I got hot flashes for 24 hours after getting 1st Pfizer, but
 GP> at least I have 85% or so protection. .

  They said it'd be 95% three weeks after the second one...but have you
noticed that NO VIRUS offers 100% protection?? I heard someone from Big
Pharma one time note that "a cured patient is a lost customer".

 GP> That ain't right -- we don't allow that sort of thing in my city.
  
  Some thought I was a troublemaker for that.

 GP> He still had majority interest in each, leading to some wags suggesting
 GP> he left the courtroom asking his lawyer, "So, what? Now I own TWO
 GP> monopolies?"

  Really. Never mind 2 copies of the board game. :P

 GP> That, too.  We've had no trouble catching either.  Get good wood snap
 GP> traps & bait with peanut butter. Usually get the offending critter
 GP> first night we have them out.

  Yeah, they do love the peanut butter.

 GP> "The doghouse"? Is that what you kids are calling it now?

  I saw a meme with the husband standing out in the back yard in his
night clothes/pajamas, in front of a desk in front of the doghouse.
His wife is glaring at him out the bedroom window. On the desk are
various pieces of office equipment (adding machine, typewriter, etc.),
and sitting in a swivel chair in front of the doghouse is Fido. He says
to the man "Good evening, sir!! Will you be our guest for one night only??
Or will this be your ususal extended stay??". 

 GP> If none of it was processed & urinated out, you might gain net 1g of
 GP> fat.

  I don't remember the last time I drank soft drinks. It's now sweet tea,
regular or diet.

 GP> I eat what I want -- I'm just working on only eating moderate
 GP> quantities now.

  I'm not eating as much as I used to. When I became my late Mom's
caregiver, I started eating only one meal a day, due to the stress,
and lack of time to prepare my meal...I just stuck with it.
