California Chicken Salad

    Hey, everyone. Thought I'd tell you about some good eating I just did. My wife and I went to O'Charley's, which is a chain in the south. I got a California Chicken Salad which is maybe the best salad I've had. It had lettuce, grilled chicken, cranberries, strawberries, candied pecans, mandarin oranges, and blue cheese crumblies, if you are so inclined. I opted out on the blue cheese. I also chose ranch dressing over the balsamic vinaigrette. I topped this off with half an appetizer platter and four rolls. Hey, I see the smirk, but I hadn't had any breakfast.
    I received an early birthday present. It's a new songbook which has some really good tunes in it. Trying to be good and spend the evening typing the new book but the temptation is to play the new songs instead. Just finished writing a short story about an earth dude who gets involved in a war between vampires and humans on another planet. It's about 150 pages long, less when it's typed. I would say watch for it but as slow as I type you might get a crick in your neck. I believe you'll like it, though.
    Hey, the other night as I was coming home I almost ran over a coyote about a mile from the house. He just kept running up the center of the road. I suspect he had a coyote death wish. Perhaps from a tragic love affair.
    Well, I hear Microsoft Word calling me to the salt mines of the typist. From the author's green retreat. CE Wills
PS: If you rent a movie tonight try an oldie, The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock. It's pretty good, maybe 4 stars out of five.
PPS: The appetizer platter had potato skins with bacon bits and sour cream, chicken tenders and spicy cheese wedges.

Game Review: NFS, Hot Pursuit

    This game was one which I refused to download for a while, even though it was on sale for 99 cents. I thought that it looked boring and narrow. Boy, was I wrong! This game totally kicks butt. It is one of those rare games that will actually give you an adrenaline rush. It is that intense. The developers, EA Games, have recently updated the app to include two main avenues of play. You can either be the cops or the racers who are trying to evade the cops. As a racer you have to deal with cops trying to hit you and make you crash, cops buzzing you with helicopters, oncoming traffic, tack strips spread across the road and roadblocks. In the cop mode you are a cop and you are trying to stop a reckless racer by any means, fair or foul. As a racer you can use nitrous oxide for increased speed, overdrive capability and oil slicks. You also can jam the cops communication with a jamming unit. Like almost all games these days, it gets harder as you go along. I prefer my games to...

Shadowgun: Crushing The Driller On Level 4

      Hey, everyone. Let's talk about the game called Shadowgun, the I-Pad game with which I have a love-hate relationship. Most of you who made it past the evil Cyber Lobster are doubtless locked in a death struggle with the Driller at the end of level 4. At this point you have been in the cave for a long time. The Driller breaks through the rock wall and chases you through the tunnel as you try to shoot out the green lights which slows the Driller down. If you are slick enough to shoot out all the lights and emerge from the cave, a rolling door crashes on the Driller and crushes his aggravating carcass. I have tried and failed to beat the Driller at least 250 times. I hate the Driller to the heights and depths my soul can reach. I hate it like a plague. I hate it with intensity of feeling. I hate it like a rich man hates taxes. Excuse me, I got carried away.       We had a big dinner here at the green retreat and my friend Trevor was ...

Stick Bugs

    Here at our place we have these odd bugs that look very much like a stick with legs. They are whoppin' big things, 6 to 8 inches long. They're called stick bugs. They'll give you quite a start if you feel something on your head and feel around up there and contact one of them. They like to ride piggy-back on each other and I don't know why that is. I'm not crazy about them.     Last night I told you about the army of raccoons that ran away as I came home. Evidently they returned later because I found two tiny footprints on the dust of my car. I was relieved that they didn't write "Wash me".     Today I was changing the filter on my water system. My well is good despite the dry weather but I have iron water that requires a pretty good filter, a 5 micron. This takes out the sediment and makes your toilets look more civilized. Anyway, as I was doing this I heard a tremendous crash. It sounded like it was quite a way off so I didn't investi...
