ratso to remain neutral but endorses hooba's fish tacos

greetings loyal customers and friends


hooba here hoping all is well and you're not going through football withdrawal. nothing like an outstanding pro bowl to end another nfl season. quite the super bowl eh? thirteen of our loyal customers were on hand at the first annual super bowl party here in husum. when you're selling 10 cent squares for the pool the payout tends to be not so much. that was joel's idea. yours truly is already looking forward to spring training with great zeal while anticipating a jayhawk final four run. i like our chances. who's running for president or should i ask, who cares?

ratso the catso is weighing in on the coming election by accepting a life of neutrality. friday she was rendered swiss for life by a local animal plumbing specialist. much like her owner she's proven to be less than a model patient. seems low key and sedate wasn't what she had in mind upon her release a mere 24 hours after surgery. her return to the hacienda excited the little feline to such an extent that running, jumping, and frolicking, against advice from a professional, would make her the poster cat for recovery and rehab. could have been the pain medication. we admire her spunk and appreciate that the homestead won't be overrun with kittens courtesy of some local tom. is there a tom running for president?

thanks to all of our favorite regulars for dropping by this weekend to brighten things up a bit. the distance traveled by our friends dave and eva from vantucky and jim's crew out goldendale way once again proves that mediterranea truly does exist here in the wilds of the gorge. it helps that most of the snow has melted to insure that we do have grass and dirt below. trout lake is a different story altogether i hear. as chauncey the gardener would say, "there will be growth in the spring." name the movie and win swell prizes. if the green boot ain't found soon we'll retire it to the to the foot it came off of.


some of you have expressed interest in having a little get together to view next weeks "redneck road race" from daytona. relax. thanks to our friend chuck, hooba has procured a very large plasma tv for our viewing pleasure. there's no guarantee it will be fully operational but john says he'll try to make it happen. plan b is the zenith which has served us well up to now. the quality goes in before the name goes on. since my favorite left turn is the one that gets me home each night i'll plead ignorance on how that nascar stuff works. i'd come, like most of you do, just for the food.


i was chastised mercilessly this weekend for not being regular with the news from mediterranea. moonlighting has affected my schedule moreso than anticipated. i'll try to start the week with the husum update hopeful that it will make many of you forget it's monday for as long as it takes to delete my ramblings. the wine event is a go so send suggestions. more later or at least next week. where's the harmony?


adios hooba the administrator
