Well! There will soon be a new flag flyin'!
I was all prepared to move Mrs. Twist's Iris to a location I thought it would like better, and lo and behold it has sent up a bloom! It will probably open in the next week! I am tickled to death!
It has been close to two years since Cowboy Wayne and Mouk rescued it from the overgrown yard of the abandoned house in Lightenin' Flat. Flew home with me in a damp washrag stolen from the Z-Bar Motel, and soon
its beauty will be appreciated again.

Yee-haw, that's great news!! But, Tru, it was alec who was the warshrag, Ray was the blade of grass and I think he played a few other parts too in addition to being our producer at the very beginning.

In my continued efforts at spring cleaning, I can report from the junk room in the basement the discovery of the following:
5 partially empty gallon jugs of windshild washer fluid.
4 opened and partially used bottles of isopropal rubbing alcohol, of varios sizes.
Uncountable partially used cans of paint of various sizes and colors.
A number of additional screwdrivers.
A large assortment of styrofoam packing pieces.
2 unopened boxes of nails.
One box of screws.
A set of adjustable wrench sockets.
A zip lock bag of frozen strawberries, circa 2002 (in the freezer).
An empty bottle of Crazy Horse Malt Liquor.
A bunch of maunals for electronic devices I no loger have or work, including software for Windows 95.
About a thousand "floppy discs".
And dirt, lots of dirt. :laugh:

Now, knowing that I have a payday coming up I have decided I am going to do something bold. I am going to take my Brokeback Mountain movie poster out of its stoarge tube and I am going to take it to a frame shop and have it framed and hang it on my wall.
I wonder what they are going to say at the frame shop when I unroll that thing. I know they will be cool with it, I just think about it being there and commented on and if eyes will be on me when I pick it up and carry it out on the street. O-well, it is looooooooooooong over due.

I think eyes will be on you, though I think it will be for a totally innocent reason, especially if they wrap the framed poster in paper for you, like the shop did for me the last time I had a large picture framed. I think it's just natural to turn and look when you see someone on the street carrying something as large as a framed movie poster. It doesn't mean anything in particular, just ordinary human curiosity.
If the poster isn't wrapped, the fact that it's Brokeback might draw a second look or two, but I think the first look will just be because you are carrying something fairly large.
