I should not try to write at 3 a.m. This says it more clearly than the last try which I sent: You have totally confused me. If you meant my teasing James about the TX heat then you should realize that he is in Texas (I know because I know which vet I sent him to when his ferret was in trouble to save the ferret.) and I commonly tease people in the Southland about the heat because I have trouble dealing with it myself (esp. with hot flashes on top of it). The comment meant LITERALLY what it said: Texas is HOT and Summer is coming. It's like when people tease me about mosquitos because I am in NJ -- just the typical standing regional/state type of joke that everyone uses, not always completely accurate but good for the familiar standing- joke laugh. So, no, it didn't have anything to do with something that happened two weeks ago, which I apparently missed, anyway. Besides, I think James said that he'd been lurking due to his advanced studies, so he may well not be the same person who gave you the hard time back then; it's a pretty common first name. I think there seems to be quite some confusion going on. "Sometimes a banana is just a banana" as the quote goes. [Posted in FML issue 4855]
