I have seen so many of those "Count the Fs" that I have learned to count the letters backwards - it forces you to see each letter instead of the words.

Aaaa...Yer no fun Paul...

How's the snow up your way or has it turned into flood waters. My son, in Arlington, said he had 20" in his front yard a week ago...

The reason that most people miss the "F"s in the word OF is because of the way we sound the word...the "F" is not sounded as an "F" but really as a "V".

Cheers, Vince

Most all of the snow is gone - all the way to 5-6000 feet!
There has been lots of flooding and some of the smaller towns have been evacuated. We are starting to get back to normal but more rain is forcast for next week....
The rivers and flood plains haven't had time to drop or dry up so more rain is going to be bad. I am glad to be living on a hill - it will take a rise of the ocean of about 200 feet to get to me. Hmmmm. There is a guy named Noah that lives close by, maybe I should keep an eye on him just to make sure he is not building a boat.

Oh...He's bilt that boat. He keeps it moored along side my horse trailer at the bottom of my hill...

Well, I do have a 17' canoe. Do you think that will be enough if I leave the animals out and just take my fishing gear?
