Why does Lay Lady Lay by Bob Dylan make me feel dirty?

BIG BLUE IS COMING TO THE HOUSE



I think Washington will win, but I don't think it'll be easy. I predict that the skins will win by 10 points, but it will be close for most of the game.

I APOLOGIZE



As I was walking through the camp this morning I saw this shiny piece of litter off to the side of the trail. That packaging is just way over the top.

The following warning was printed on the back in eight different languages:

"Do not tear this package.
Break the small water-bag inside the package pressing softly.
The package will be inflated by air, explode and a disgusting smell will be exhaled.
Do not ingest."

What is this world coming to?

I hope Al Quaeda doesn't get ahold of this technology. That would be curtains for the U.S.of A.

QUESTION OF THE DAY

If you had to choose between only being able to speak during one pre-designated 1/2 hour block a day or speaking only in rhyme for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

and a bonus question of the day...

If you could only eat one kind of meat for the rest of your life and you were limited to meats you have never eaten before, which meat would you choose?

HAPPY DAY EVE!!!



The Western Tates plan on pulling out early in the morning on Happy Day to spend the morning at the Wild Animal Park in San Diego. We will probably eat out down there before zipping back for the kickoff at 5:30.

C'mon Skins!!! I need this!

Rev up that diesel!
Do you ever feel joy grow like a bubble
bigger and bigger inside you?
When I do, it makes me want to call
good news to the whole town...



run wild through the streets
knocking on doors
climbing on rooftops
higher and higher



till I reach the stairs
that lead to the tower
at the top of the town...




I pull the rope
and the bubbles burst
and go rolling rolling
in a jangle of bells
telling my joy
all over the town and away...

BOWDEN AND LUCY HELPED ME PICK THE FIRST RIPE PUMPKIN FROM OUR GARDEN TODAY




Bowden turned to Lucy and exclaimed excitedly "We're real live farmers!!!"



SKINS UNDEFEATED! (so far)



This coming Monday, September 17th, is Happy Day. Happy Day is a Tate family holiday celebrated on the occasion of the first nationally televised Redskins game. The western Tates are making big plans for the day- we migth go to the beach or up to Oak Glen for some apple picking- either way the day will end in front of the TV with a tasty beverage in hand and possibly a pickle or something. Why a pickle? I don't know... it just sounds good as I type.

Go Skins!!!
