Subject: Re: Picture from ,1-509...>
i sent my n'kle Jack & Auntie Joanie a picture ( see appendix A ) that i'd taken with my Cell-Phone Camera, and due to some particularly bothersome Wiggiliness that occurred a few days previous to this, the settings in the various, disconnected menus, were set incorrectly, so that the picture was compressed down into an indistinguishable blob...!!!
The picture was of a sign that i'd found on a Honolulu Bus that reminded it's riders that it was Inappropriate Behaviour to either Spit, Expectorate, Urinate or Defecate while riding on Public Transportation...
This reminds me of a passage ( somewhere ) in the Bible that reminds the Jews not to trip blind people...!!!
( Things are are ( should be ) obvious to anyone except Jews or Hawai'ians )

Expectorate; if you're wondering, is to spit up an exceptionally thick & phlegmy form of bile. This is one of their most beloved Hawai'ian past-times.

Hi,
> Well, I can't see any picture, but it is very good to hear from you.
> When we got the box of things from you we noticed that the return address was in Spokane.
I tried to call you in Bremerton, but the phone had been discontinued, so we weren't sure where you were.
> Are you back in Hawaii? I couldn't quite make out the postmark on your postcard, but it looked like it might be Honolulu. What have you been up to?
> We had a very bad December. Jack was in the hospital for two weeks and there were a few days when they didn't know if he was going to make it or not.
> He had gone in for a routine colonoscopy and that seemed to go well, but later that night he developed terrible pains in his stomach. We ended up in the emergency room. They did all sorts of tests, thinking that maybe his colon had been [ perforated ] during the colonoscopy, but they couldn't see anything on the X-rays. So they gave him some pain meds and sent him home.
The next day he was in so much pain he was admitted to the hospital. What they finally figured out was going on was that he had a "necrotic" gallbladder.
His gallbladder had "died" and caused a massive infection.
He underwent 5 1/2 hours of surgery.
Anyway, it was pretty touch and go for several days. He finally got home a few days before Christmas, but it took him a while before he started feeling O.K. Things are fine now though. Other than that, things are pretty much status-quo around here.
> Well, drop me a line and let us know [ what's ] going on.
> Love,> Joan>
