HIDee Mz Fibreglas-Free Beth! (YAYY!)

Wow, you still sound like the Bionic Gal, 2007 Edition, with all that Inflatable & Break-Proofin' Stuff you've gotta wear!

I AM gonna pound away on the Buck Song this AM...(Another Reggae Number, perhaps, while we got Rachael & Hub all Warmed-Up?)

Also wanna do a bit on Vibrators...(Definitely UN-Mined Territory) since reading a Newspaper Article on 'em yesterday: State of Alabama's got a ban on Sex Toys..(Unless they have a bona-fide "Medical Purpose") Supreme Court just refused to hear a case opposing their statute, filed by Sherrie Williams, owner of 2 "Pleasures" Store in that State.

"My motto has been they are going to have to pry this vibrator from my cold, dead hand. I refuse to give up" she says.

Such gadgets weren't always seen in a "Naughty" Light..even in Victorian times: "The first Vibrators were used on women by doctors..wasn't generally thought of as sexual, but rather as ho-hum therapy."

"In the 1880's, a British Doctor invented the first Electric Vibrator, an industrial-size contraption meant to be a permanent fixture in a doctor's office." {These Quotes are taken from an online Mag, "SLATE", btw} {I'll add I once missed my chance to buy a nicely-wooden-boxed MANUAL model that was made in Austria, pre-1900's, resembled an Eggbeater, with various-sized Cast-Iron Off-Center Weights and Bakelite "Tips" of various sizes & shapes to focus the Vibrations..on whatever muscles ailed ya. $75..alas! I have about 30 Electric Models, from 1890's to the '50's I've accumulated. Most Memorable Marketing Name: "The Allover Vibrator Co.", ca. 1930's. None cost over $30, most were $10-15.)

"Vibrator innovation was in fact a driving force behind the creation of the small electric motor." (Dental Drills and Sewing Machines were too!) "Hamilton Beach patented its first take-home vibrator in 1902, making the vibrator the fifth electrical appliance to be introduced into the home, after the sewing machine, and long before the electric iron."

So...armed with alla this Newfound-Insight, Guess I'll do an Homage to that li'l Undersung/Under-appreciated Appliance...soon enough...eh? (Workin' Title: "GOOD BUZZ!")

Back to da Birdies: Yep, we got Hawks (& Perigrin [?] Falcons, too, here in da big city. AND..we got BUZZARDS as--well...BIOGG'N'S..which like to circle all over Downtown Tampa (we've got Fine Thermals all over!) & rest on Cel Towers, etc. And, occasionally, in the trees nextdoor to da Shop, eying my Red MacCaws on their perch. So far, nothin's swooped over the fence for an expensive nibble...& there's enough comings-&-goings the Big Stuff stays on the other side, where the trees are taller & denser.

We got LOTS of Miserable Squirrels, both Locations, home & biz...they're big pests when ya got birds to feed in the area!~
But...Hawks gotta eat SOMETHIN' when they visit..& if it's furry, they're more than welcome~!

Waal...back to the penning board...Hope Your're Having a Fun Tuesday! Finished re-paintin' all but One cast-iron streetlight last nite, then went out & fixed a GFC before watchin' Late Shows & devouring half a tubba Edy's Grande Cherry Choco Chip. (Pre-Washed Down over the course of the Day with 3 Amberbocks!)

LOTS of calories to burn off today, heh!

Best Recovery-Wishes & a Big Hug,
