My father-in-law grew these from 4 magic seeds. There were 7 of these 250 pounders in his garden! The weight on the truck was significant. We loaded them with an old army stretcher.

I noticed that the neighborhood 'punks/kids' got a couple of pumpkins last night in our neighborhood... there were three or four in the middle of the road this morning.

Noooo....

Latin !

From one of the famous philosophers....

Cogito Ergo Sum (I think, therefore I am )

(I supppose for deep thinkers it has some real meaning.)

I think is was Road and track or anyway one of your automotive magazines that for many years had ( possibly still has) a monthly column.....

Cogito Ergo Zoom !

(Possibly more meaningful)



Years ago when I started boating I thought

Cogito Ergo Splosh .... would be more appropriate !

D'ya know......i knew using that word would cause problems.

I don't actually know how it's spelt.

I can't recollect ever seeing it written down.

It's just a word us country yokels use to describe water in Rivers, Seas, canals....whatever.

The "ogin"....could quite possibly be of Welsh or Celtic derivation.

I won't lose any sleep over it though.
