Update XVII: I Ate The Strawberry (The REAL, AUTHENTIC Update)

[memphis]

Memphis and King, you know darn well I don't pig out like I used to.  There is no need to say I do.  Many times Mom has to tell me to eat, because many times I will go down for supper at 1700 only having had an extremely light lunch.  Other times I don't eat anything until 1400 or so.

1. I have no idea what you eat. We haven't discussed dietary matters much lately, but the ongoing saga for years has been an endless parade of extreme gluttony. If you've changed your tune, that's great, but it must have been fairly recently.
2. Mama Bushie encourages you to eat more? Does she not realize that you are morbidly obese, which severely compromises your health, your appearance, and your job prospects?  Sounds like she may have just given up and is now simply hoping to cash in on that fat life insurance policy she and Papa have been paying for all these years.

I so don't get the leave at 6 AM so Dad can be rested thing. The Sandia Tramway is pretty neat though. Here's a pic I took of ABQ from the top in 2006.

If you're not going to go to the top of Sandia Peak, you should at least check out the Petroglyphs. Nobody knows exactly what they are really all about.

You heartless prick. Papa has to drive all the way home. The man works 60 hours a week, takes care of the north 40, run every singe family errand, take care if two dogs, etc...and you wonder why he needs to rest?  I need to rest just typing what Papa does. 

You misunderstand me. It's not that I'm suggesting that Papa shouldn't need rest. It's just that I would think he'd be better rested if he could sleep until a reasonable time Sunday morning. If they left around 9 AM, they could still be back in the trailer at 7 PM, which would give him plenty of time to rest for the evening. Instead, they're forcing the old man to get up before the chickens, just so he can be home at about 4 PM instead. Which would you rather do?
