But isn't.
Here.
What can I say? Roger is still experiencing the side effects of the chemo. It's only been six days, and that stuff is cumulative and invasive. He's been working on a post about it. Not sure if or when it will be appear here.
February's two back-to-back snowstorms kicked our butts. The snow is gone, but it was driven away by driving rain. We were once stronger (and younger) than we are now.
We drove to the co-op on Sunday morning (our favorite time to shop) and were listening to CarTalk. We always love the banter on that show, so good for a laugh. They did their usual puzzler, and for some reason we both knew the answer, so I decided to actually send it in to their show.
Here is their response.
Thanks for sending us your answer to this week's Car Talk puzzler!
In case you were wondering, here's the process we go through to select each week's winner:
First, we have to be certain you have the correct answer. We start by sending your answer to Paul Murky, at Murky Research. Murky, working with our Statistician Marge Innovera, will place your puzzler answer in one of two heaps: "not even close" and "pretty much right."
Assuming it passes by Paul and Marge, your answer will then be zipped along to Central Processing, where it will be date and time stamped, and searched for attached currency. Next, it will be shipped electronically to our Correct Answer Verification Center, where our legions of lackeys once again search your answer for any lingering currency-- just in case someone at Central Processing missed it. Then, they make certain that your response fits the criterion we have established for correct answers.
Please note that since we're often unsure of what the right answer is ourselves, we have very wide latitude in determining what constitutes a correct answer. Incorrect answers, however, will be sent to Nigerian Email Schemers.
Lastly, correct answers will be sent to Ms. Shirley Wright, who operates under the auspices of the Committee for Reviewing Answers to Puzzlers. There, operating under complete secrecy, Ms. Wright will pick a winner.
If your response is selected as this week's winning entry, we'll announce your name on the air. You'll also get a $26 gift certificate to our Shameless Commerce Division-- but only if you catch us. Which means, what? You'll need to e mail us and mention that you heard your name on the air. If you're smart, you'll then trade your new Shameless Commerce Gift Certificate to an unsuspecting co-worker, for a cup of coffee and twenty-five cents. Why $26? Simple. It used to be $25... but we adjusted for inflation. About ten years ago. (No kidding.)
Cordially,

We love this response...it's so them.

We were lucky enough to see some Wood Ducks down by the pond on Saturday. I'm hoping they'll come around again so can get a better look at the male in his breeding plumage (he's there in the photo, in the bushes next to the female).
And in case you're wondering, life is still good!
