Thanks to all of you who posted birthday wishes!
Several very good things have already happened today.
The local housing authority was threatening to make me move to a cheaper apartment in a worse area, but I sicced the federal department of HUD on them, and they just acknowledged in writing that what they were trying to do to me is illegal and they can't do it!
I just got word that my birthday present from my brother, a double wide bed including mattress, will arrive tommorrow and someone will come later to help me assemble it.
I have recieved from various friends and relations;
Two bundles of different fine cigars
A large bag of very superior pipe tobacco and a new smoking pipe
A liter of very good dark rum.
Later, I will be taken to dinner at a great seafood restaurant.
Life is good.
Oh, and Snail Shell, I freakin' LOVE that siggy pic! You've discovered the feline Nick Nolte! What a dissipated looking cat!
Love ya's all.
