Tonight as I was beginning dinner (baked flounder smothered in a mix of roasted corn, red and green bell pepper, with steamed fresh asparagus on the side, and a tossed salad, for those who stalk Tim), I received a phone call. Here’s how it went:

A Trailer Park Mystery
Tonight I went to a booksigning celebrating the release of FLAMINGO FATALE, the first “Trailer Park Mystery” in a series of at least three books by Jimmie Ruth Evans. Who IS this mysterious Jimmie Ruth Evans? I know, I know!

A Quest
You may be thinking, “Enough about fleas!” But if a flea was good enough for a John Donne poem, and that poem was worthy of two days’ discussion in a sophomore English lit class…
I have discovered a bio-friendly and apparently effective way to fight fleas in the yard (which is the only way to keep the bastards out of the house). Here’s what I read online, courtesy of PETA:
Products containing beneficial nematodes (micro-organisms that eat flea larvae) can be sprayed on lawns and, unlike many toxic treatments, are perfectly safe for animals, birds, and humans, as well as “friendly” garden dwellers like earthworms and ladybugs. Brand names such as Bio Flea Halt!, Biosys, and Interrupt! can be found in pet stores and in the lawn and garden sections of hardware stores and supermarkets.
Sounds wonderful. Except that Petco, Petsmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, and the Garden Center have no such products, and I can’t seem to find a place to order them online. Anyone familiar with these brands or know a chain that carries them?
Greg Herren!!!
Greg Herren, did you ever know that you’re my hero???
Once again, Tim and I have been remiss about going to check the authorial post office box, so tonight on a run to Kroger’s to buy a big fat hen (me) and dog food (Tim), we stopped and…..
YES! Philanthropist Greg Herren answered the call of Sally Struthers on our behalf and shipped us Bar-B-Q Fritos™. If I had a digital camera, I’d take a photo of Tim and me, big smiles, each with our own bag.
Thank you, Greg! Jewels in your crown, karma points–and may all your books be bestsellers. =)

You scored as Cultural Creative. Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.

It’s so eerily accurate.

I’m ignoring the Supreme Court
This weekend, I’m celebrating Independence from Fleas Day. That’s right. It’s flea-foggin’ weekend at the Compound. Tonight, while River is at Spa Heartworm, we fogged Tim’s apartment. Tomorrow…the house.
I WILL see these bastards dead.
Oh, and then I’ll take over Denver Carrington. (Who started that joke, Tim?)
