2. In a manner in which communication with outsiders is not possible for either voluntary or involuntary reasons, especially due to confinement or reclusiveness.

Incommunicado.

Finally we'll be heading up to the ranch this Saturday! We'll be gone for a couple of weeks. We canceled our At&T 3G card since it was lousy reception at best. I'm bringing a laptop but will only be able to connect with the occasional free Wifi, which up in the mountains ain't much.

Therefore after tomorrow, JHAP will be incommunicado. Hopefully during the stay we'll be able to connect to the internet but it is doubtful at best.

DIED, break out the wine, put away the valuables, and fill the fire extinguishers, JHAP is heading north BAYBEE!!!

Be safe, Mabro (& Mabro-ette)

Hey if someone comes out to inspect your pond for "sensitive species" you have my permission to shoot them.

JHAP:
Have a wonder holiday before tax season lights upon you and saps what little energy you have left at your age.

uh oh, ok, i'll be ready:



actually we're all really excited:

OH SNAP!!!

You are supposed to be incommunicado!

'A mere stone's throw from cognito."

I said AFTER tomorrow, which is to say AFTER today, since I wrote that yesterday and was speaking about Saturday.

Wow, I think that sentence made me a little dizzy.

It is quite possible that I will be both incommunicado and incognito at the same time.

....and incontinent.

incommunicado, incognito, AND incontinent......

HA - take that Sock Puppeteer!

The best of all is --- in-transit. As in on my way to San Jose - oops - I guess that should be El Dorado.

All is well and normal then.

JHAP decided to put up a religious sign at his ranch.

HAH! That's a good one!

SHHHH

Don't tell Dwight, I should be on highway 5 at this very moment, somewhere north of beautiful downtown Bakersfield, California a mere few hours from our ranch. But it was not to be. We couldn't get everything done yesterday so the trip was postponed. So we begin the 8.5 hour drive at 3:00am tomorrow morning.

AP, I like the sign!

How will we get along without you, JHAP?

Don't worry Sunil. You'll all survive. However wine will not taste as fine, roses will not smell as good, the song of bird will not sound as pure. I'll be out there (I know, I know, I'm always out there) amongst the elements, trying to keep mother nature from killing or maiming this city boy.

If I'm not back in three weeks send out a search party.

"I know, I know, I'm always out there"

Truer words may never have been spoken.

... the compost will not be as deep...

Sunil, The beer will taste just fine, though
