I can’t decide whether to say “oooh” or shriek and run away.

Always nice to get a little help when you need it. And, I say “oooh”!

I’m so glad to see that it’s a pop-gun.

Even if he does something stupid, he’ll most likely still have a beak.

BTW… this shows that even if you’re literally eye-to-eye with someone, you don’t always see eye-to-eye.

I knew the moon was made out of green cheese…

And that Mars made chocolate candy bars, and Pluto was still a dog, but no longer a planet.

I did NOT know (till now) that the planet Mars was apparently made out of sharp aged cheddar.

Bake? Not any Spanish rice i’ve ever had.
It’s made on the stovetop in a good big cast iron skillet. And simmered.

Nor is it topped with cheese… especially American “cheese”… or usually full of vegetables… (though I do like things with gratuitous vegetables.)

Then again, we’re on the West Coast, where we’re used to real Mexican red rice… or as they call it in Mexico, sopa seca de arroz… dry rice soup.

It’s just rice, maybe some garlic, browned in oil or lard, and cooked in tomato broth in a skillet. (“Dry soup” cos it absorbs all the broth.)

This recipe is more like a Midwestern potluck casserole.

Elvis, nowadays when you write “Return to Sender” on a letter, you are lucky if it is returned within a week, if at all.

Last year I got something back in the mail… two or three MONTHS later.

The post office box I’d been (deceptively) told to send it to had been closed….you’d think it wouldn’t take two months to figure that out.

I don’t think, though, that a letter would ever have been returned “the very next morning.” The post office tries harder than that.

Call it poetic license.

At last, Susan gets to see Perro and Toronado ride!

SusanSunshine

Cleomigas y Cleomigos!!!

Perro RIDES!!

Did you see that?

He really, really rides!

Dennis is right! I’m so excited!

Re-reading Wednesday’s comments, I have to surmise that Toronado is the 1936 Cord of basset-horses.

And the Commandante’s Lancers have no Harley-horses with which to give chase.

Straight to church, rides our esteemed Perro… but not to confess his sins.

Rather, to rat on some sins that were not his own… to right some wrongs, and restore real righteousness… (stop it Susan!)

I have to wonder whether Don Doggo knew the Padre from years past.

He seems to have lost sight of safety, and scattered all sense of secrecy… ( I told you to stop it! ….okay, oKAY…)

Annnnyway… I just wonder whether he did his due diligence, and knows for a fact that this friar is fair… (I can’t stop it…. sorry.)

We’ll just have to believe that he knows things we haven’t been told, and has reason to trust the um… the peasant’s precious pesos to the pueblo’s Padre (sigh….)

I don’t think Perro would ride like the wind, and risk his life, just to be careless.

He’s not a careless person, except maybe just every so often, if you ask Fernando, with the whip.

If you can’t trust a Padre, who can you trust……….nevermind.

Nice, but I don’t think Perro™ would be happy that you think his swordplay only strikes as hard, or does as much damage, as a taco.

May I offer, instead…. in the spirit of collaboration:

“When his sword’s skillful cut

Leaves a “P on your butt…”

😉

We must have said it at almost the same time.

I refreshed the page right before I posted.

I was just checking for new comments before bed in the wee hours, so I didn’t do it again afterward

….

Oh well, you get the news in stereo.. ..

Barring unseen difficulty with my insurance company, after 4.5+ years, I will be on the lung transplant waiting list at Loyola University Medical Center by the 23rd of this month.

Woohoo. Last hoop.

Y’all have a great weekend!

That Perro. Such a jokester! But seriously, he just put himself in grave danger. He confessed, handed over the do-re-mi, showed the mask. If the Padre is either in on it with Slurez, or too afraid for his own safety to keep silent, then Perro will be ripe for a trap.
