  apparantly, the dubs are working the territory our house is in.

  i was at work, but just ron was home when two sisters rang the bell.

  i should point out that ringing our bell is a bit of a challenge since just ron removed the actual button and there are just two bare wires sticking out of the wall.

  just ron and i spent a few hours today helping clean up tornado damage in ridgway.

  i never got to do anything like that when i was a witless.

  my field circus hours were never deemed high enough to participate in quick builds or disaster relief work..

  i went home for lunch, and the weather was beautiful.

  an hour later, the storm sirens went off and we got some hail and really high winds.

  one pioneer sister in my former hall is well known for her thriftiness.

  once she made chocolate chip cookies using bacon grease instead of butter.

  she claimed they were delicious, but no one else wanted to eat them.

  Star Trek - the Borg

  by finally awake in

  2. friends

  it just occurred to me that we use the term "borg" when talking about the organization.

  it's a cute play on words, but i wonder if the writers of star trek who came up with the idea of the borg had some experience or connection with witnesses.
