This article about a cross-dresser which was referenced in a blog I subscribe to reminded me of a guy here in town who also likes to dress in women's clothes. I know the guy, having roughnecked with him on a couple of drilling rigs.
It was several years ago in late fall when I walked into a nearby convenience store and saw the guy at the counter, all "dolled up" and buying a six-pack of beer. The clerk didn't even bother to hide her shock, and as she waited on the guy her jaw stayed dropped nearly to the floor. There was another clerk and a few other people in the store, but they were on the other side of the two-register store and all were staring at him.
I stepped to the side of the guy and greeted him, asked him what he was doing and who he was working for these days. We chatted for a minute, then he took his beer and left, walking out of the store in his white high heels and matching skirt with white, patterned stockings.
The clerk turned to me, her mouth still gaped open and asked "You know that guy?" I told her I did, told her his name and mentioned we used to roughneck together.
She shook her head and said "But you were so matter-of-fact, just talking to him when he was dressed so weird! I was freakin' out! Weren't you shocked by how he looked?"
I replied "Yep, I was shocked too....."
"I couldn't believe he was wearing white after Labor Day!"

How to Clean a Toilet
From the email archives:
This was simply too much of a time saver not to share it with you
1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.
2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close the lid. You may need to stand on the lid.
4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a 'power-wash' and rinse'.
6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift the lid.
8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off.
9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean
Sincerely,
The Dog
