Re: OT: 9/9/1999 - the day after

From: Bill Shear <BILLS@hsc.edu>

Never did get the idea as to why this was supposed to be a bad computer day.

By the way, our local paper (Richmond Times-Disgrace) ran a cute story
about a local woman who turned 99 on 9/9/99.

We've had a rainy week.  About four inches over the past 10 days (much,
much more in surrounding areas) and that crazy garden has suddenly
blossomed into a jungle with colocasia, lantana and passiflora rampantly
over-running everything!  Luckily the irises are some distance from these
marauders.  The three Brugmansia  trees I have carefully kept going as
features in the perennial border are now up to about 7 ft. in height and
have scores of buds--going to be quite a show in a week or two!

Got a cute e-mail from my publisher after submitting a couple of chapters
of my shade garden book--STOP WRITING!  At this rate, they claim, the book
will be 500 pages long.  Time for some re-negotiation.

And that's the news from Lake Wobegon.
