Good morning and happy Monday,GN.

Thread pic: Yeah, too much sugar in the feeder will do that.

The one thing I’ve done in the last five years that has had the greatest positive impact in my life was to stop being a Raider’s fan.

Happy Monday, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Sven!

Sven -- I understand about the Raiders. I’ve been an Angels fan since 1967 and these last years have been brutal. I think Mrs. Paddy and I only went to one game each of the last two seasons. I stopped watching the NFL years ago, but still enjoy college ball. We’ve been following the University of Arizona the past three years because Mrs. Paddy knows the quarterback.

I’ve set out a rat trap by the front porch the last three nights and have caught two rats -- one got away with the bait. I’ll set it out again tonight and see what happens.

Then maybe, just maybe, you should have stayed in the Golden State, Mac?

Speaking of Texas, I swapped out my Metallica driving CD for the latest from Jame McMurtry. His last 3-4 albums haven’t been up to his earlier work, but then he ain’t as young as he used to be. Couple of good songs -- unfortunately the best ones are the first two:

I used to be young

I used to understand

I used to be strong as any man

I used to be tough

Nobody bothered me

Now I’ve had about enough, this don’t suit me

It don’t suit me

Well I drove to Laredo

I had the big eyes in my head

Well I drove to Laredo

I had the big eyes in my head

They were lookin’ for a small dark somethin’

There’s a stain in the trunk, man

That’ll never ever ever come out

There’s a stain in the trunk, man

That’ll never ever ever come out

The rock rhythm on this one is really good.

That last one definitely has a classic feel to it.
