Are you using the word "coke" in the regional "anything considered a 'soft drink', 'soda', 'pop', 'soda pop' " way or the Coca Cola Coke™ way?

"Wanna Coke"
"Sure"
What kind? I've got Coke, Dr Pepper, 7up, and root beer


(nowadays, it's getting that way (actually worse) when asking for a cup of coffee....)

[caution...double entendre ahead]
Everything in moderation....including (I guess) ..........moderation.

I've never tried any, but if it is acid in coffee that is a problem, they do have regular caffeinated coffees that have been de-acidified. Some natural coffees supposedly have less acid than others as well.

I actually drink way too much coffee and if not for the coffee, I would take in very little liquid each day. (I've never liked the taste of water or even the idea of drinking plain or clear water....I know what fish do in it. And no, I don't want a slice of lemon on the edge of a glass of water)
My well water is very good and everyone that visits comments on it's good taste, but I just don't drink much of it, or any other water.

Saw the best Great Pyrenees tonight. He was HUGE, VERY fluffy, and SO friendly.

Wife and I want to move back west, out to where the radio signals fade to static, past where the telephone poles and speed limit signs end, and we've found that place ..Mentone, the county seat of loving County Texas.
but there seems to be one problem.


No homes or home sites for sale.
Did find one piece of property, 1600ac but they want nearly $3 million for it and there's not even a county road to it.

& did find another, for 5 acres, but I don't like the sound of the condition of sale. Payment in full +$99 processing fee and he'll mail you a warranty deed. Looks like it might be in a subdivision too, tho the picture is kinda fuzzy. Lot 24
Wonder if there are 20 contiguous lots available?




I haven't broke this plan to wife yet, but she hates the humidity here, and the bugs, and the rain, and she likes rocks, and the mountains and wide open spaces, and the average rainfall is only 10 inches/year.

View to the north:

Looks like a total of over 70 lots... Don't know if you could get 20 in a block but I suppose you could ask. Since the Mrs. likes rocks and mnts and wide open spaces, she'd only get 1 and a half if that picture is where you'll be... Donb't see any mnts, and the rocks look more like pebbles... (the 1/2)... Sure looks to be plenty dry though.

That's the beauty of it. Everything to the right of the Pecos is flat and to some people... 'featureless'.
Everything to the left of the Pecos is rising and rugged.
It's why I tell everyone, 'You aren't really in WEST Texas until you cross the Pecos."

Coffee is on. Grey and raining...GB good luck with your plans.

Those are probably the same people who needs to be reminded that when you order hot coffee, the content IS HOT.
