[at-l] Using TOO MUCH "Oh-reggie-no"

[nealb@midlandstech.com (William Neal)]

After reading some of the latest posts, I wonder if too many people are
using oregeno for "alternative" purposes?  Of course it might not be
oregeno.  It might be coconut.  A friend of mine from the 60s (Mother Mary)
made brownies for those of living in dorms and without kitchens.  She
brought them to the before-we-scatter party before Christmas shut down.
They were fabulous.  Had lots of coconut.  Didn't quite taste like coconut,
but that's what it had to be.  Right?  I'd ask the girl I spent most of the
night talking to, be alas she's one that got away.  And I'd ask the friendly
guy who was discussing "Knee-Chee" with us.  But I don't think Disney will
let me call Goofy and ask his opinion.  Although, at the party, he had some
strong opinion's about Superman.

Now semi-back on List Topic: Once, I was walking in a woody area.  Musing
over nothing at all.  Came upon some fishermen-hunters.  They looked at me
suspiciously.  Of course I looked like a refugee from a biker movie.  But
they looked like refugees from DELIVERANCE.  After awhile we got friendly;
turned out we knew people in common.  Since I was looking for a drink of
water, they shared theirs with me.  Nice and clear. Maybe a few too many
dissolved minerals. It was a bit thick.  But it went down smooth and helped
me take a nap.  Well, I more or less had to sit down, and then my eyes more
or less closed on their own. If I ever find the spring they filled their
jars from...  Say you don't suppose it was.... Guess even day hiking has its
benefits.
