Since it has been a taxing week, I better select the Mini Challenge: <br />Never mind Che Guevera, when I think of a motorcycle, the local Harley Davidson dealership is nearby. True, an ample number of older hippes own then, but so do wealthy people. because face it: Harley's are expensive, and when "fully dressed"--as the term goes--some may find them a bit grandiose. But in the spirit of playing the Lottery and "What the hell?", it's summer! I just watched the Steve McQueen movie with Lee Remick, "Baby the Rain Must Fall" and of course this brought to mind flying off the handle". However, the opposite of this can be found with a visit to Photos by Barbara Ann, where blue jays abound and photos of new birds entering the world have been captured beautifully!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539850495318868267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-90457486136844838282009-06-27T18:15:51.206-04:002009-06-27T18:15:51.206-04:00I liked your stories.

In the second one, I'm not sure he's going to get his wish to spend his summer with his motorcycle gang, unless maybe he lets his wife come along. He had a nice name for his gang, though. It was interesting in the third story about how a person who liked the simple life was going to marry a prince. I also liked the dog who rode with her on the motorcycle, at first unrestrained and later in his own box. I liked how you used the phrase "jack in the box" for that, too. This story was probably my favorite.<br /><br />I saw your description of your computer problems in a previous post. Your computer sounds almost as bad as mine, but mine is 10 years old and uses Windows 98. Perhaps Windows or another application did an update that doesn't mix well with things, or maybe some setting somewhere got changed and that is slowing things down. If a new program or service was recently installed, that might also be a source of the problem. Sometimes these have settings that can be adjusted. Another possibility is that there's some problem with memory or diskspace, or maybe some bad program that you don't know about installed itself. You might have to have the computer checked by a professional, but back up all your files first onto something you can keep with you.<br /><br />I have my own stories up now.<br /><br />Stephen from Scottsdale, Arizona, USA<br />http://stephen-has-spoken.blogspot.com/Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05652404381086061102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-61640341494784979862009-06-27T14:43:57.800-04:002009-06-27T14:43:57.800-04:00I loved the maxi especially, good story and very g...I loved the maxi especially, good story and very good use of words (jack in the box absolutely brilliant...)DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13956409908791716009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-73720693882138855622009-06-27T12:36:33.469-04:002009-06-27T12:36:33.469-04:00I love the first one -- a tribute to or inspired b...I love the first one -- a tribute to or inspired by your nephew's wedding and your wishes for them to have a happy, joyful marriage?<br /><br />The second brought a smile at the twist ending.<br /><br />And I liked the maxi best if for no other reason than the way you used 'jack in the box'.

Great story<br />We don't like motorcycles they are too noisy but the story is nice.<br />If that dog flies off the bike we would be glad to catch him and there would be no blood. Dogs are very tasty. Lovely romantic story.

Clever use of the words. <br /><br />I'm glad you are feeling at least a little bette these days. <br /><br />I'm sponsoring a Giveaway on my blog (there is a link to the details in my Wordzzle post.)

My fav was the honeymoon. <br /><br />We went dancing tonight and I'm just back, sitting on the patio with the required adult beverage and a good cigar. <br /><br />Was totally uninspired this week and did not add another episode.<br /><br />Used the words in an excuse letter instead.<br /><br />Have a beautiful weekend. I saw your pictures the last two weeks and envy the beauty and lushness that surrounds your home.<br /><br />RichRichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17028871782757014447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-19118950873942089232009-06-27T02:05:11.865-04:002009-06-27T02:05:11.865-04:00Very good stories this week, Raven.

Your words flowed so easily it is hard to believe they came from a prescribed list.<br /><br />Summer is very smart keeping her beloved dog in a cage.
