Lynn, I do believe you're over medicating yourself!  Or been out sucking
up mosquito spray whenever you hear the plane going over!  [Florida uses
aerial foggers for mosquito control.]
 
But if you are successful, I would like to go to Costa Rica for a coupla
weeks!  Scuse me, my doorbell is ringing, be right back.
 
Well scheesh Lynn, now you've gone and done it!  I was just visited by the
INS people because some of my ferrets are from OTHER COUNTRIES.  Didja just
have to go and ruin my little scheme to offer ferrets from Denmark and New
Zealand a taste of the good life - crocheting all day and well into the
night in exchange for all the kibble and water they can consume on their 7
minute breaks twice a day?  Not only is my operation kapoot, but Kouri,
Welly, Muffet and Neugi could be deported!
 
That's over half my work crew!  How will I keep production up?  I may have
to come down there and 'liberate' Gator and Hawk and bring them back to
Oregon.  Where they were very happy, by the way, and got to dine on whole
baby octopus.  Have you been catering to their desires and providing them
with whole baby octopus, Lynn?  Noooooo?  I didn't think so!
 
And you want Wolfy to help?  The same Wolfy who pulls a Radio Flyer wagon
around everywhere she goes - loaded with Depends?  Scheesh, she'd probably
schedule me for a tour of the Depends factory!
 
Ok, I need a plan.  If the INS people come back I will stall them at the
gate.  Then I'll chop the chains loose and float down to Astoria, where
I'll turn, uh, left.  I better put in a supply of ferret food, enough to
last till I get to that country with the canal - what's it called?  The
one that's in Panama.  They take big boats through that puppy, so a 53
foot long houseboat, plus a 15 foot tender, plus a 8 foot wide pontoon
boat (thanks Ron Carter!), that's only 76 feet of floating 'stuff', piece
of cake!  Lemme see, where was I, oh yeah, the Caribbean.  So then I turn
right so I go to the left of Cuba, and then go kinda leftish.  I think I'll
come in at Tarpon Springs, so please meet me there Lynn, since this is ALL
YOUR FAULT!
 
I gotta go now to stock up on ferret food in case those pesky INS people
plan their raid today.
 
Georgia, ready to cast off...
