That's the problem with getting as old as I am. You just can't keep up with all the new stuff that's happening (like the party bus). I checked out the Minneapolis Party Bus and it looks like great fun!

RITA AND ROGER ARE ON THE ROAD AGAIN
Until I got a note from Bert I forgot Rita and Roger are in Des Moines this week-end. Another bird show.
And speaking of birds......
And speaking of birds......
I LOVE THIS STORY FROM BERT
"My friend Kath and I are up at Rita and Rogers babysitting the dogs and the house. Had a funny experience today. I came into the dinning room to find underwear, eaten to shreds, under the table. The dogs had gotten into Kath's dirty clothes and had some fun!!!
They are being really good. Eating well, sleeping with me, staying in the yard and of course eating underwear!!! Rita and Roger come home tomorrow so hopefully no more lost clothes!!"

COLD TODAY BUT IT'S BEEN WORSE
In 1919, on December 10, it got down to 13 below in La Crosse. Like Johnny Carson once said, "It's so cold I saw a chicken with a capon."

I INVITED THESE FOLKS TO COME TO THE RANCH FOR CHRISTMAS
I'm wondering. Should I tell Rita to set two more places at the table or should I just keep it to myself and let it be my little holiday surprise?
NO SNOW SO WE'LL MAKE OUR OWN
There's more than one way to get the slopes open. If Mother Nature won't do it, they will. They're making the snow and Mt. La Crosse will open this weekend.
HOUSTON ISN'T THE ONLY CITY SEEING MORE CRIME
THIS COMES FROM DONNIE
The following is provided by the Hays County Sheriff's Office, who received this information from a Hays Co. resident:
Resident - -
“….I wanted to make the HOA aware of a door flyer (see attached) that was hung on my door. You may already be aware of this, but I wanted to send it along, as I was unaware of this scam and wanted the entire neighborhood to be aware of it.
I found the attached flyer on my door today (12/5/2011). I was home ALL day, so no one rang my door, but simply hung the flyer. I researched the Austin phone number online and found that it appears to be being hung by a group of people that are "casing" neighborhoods, looking to rob houses.
You will notice that the flyer does not have any real company name, nor any real information about what the flyer pertains to. From what I can gather on the web, if you call the number (andit is recommended that people do NOT call the number), the person at the other end of the line implies it is related to a book of coupons they want to send you, but they ask if you are interested in a security system. A number of people said they indicated they did not want a security system and they were robbed (burglarized) soon afterward.
From what I can gather, this scam started in Arizona and is not being perpetrated in Texas.
I hope that you can notify everyone in our neighborhood, either directly, or at least on the HOA web site…”
PACK YOUR BAGS
To help save the economy, the government will announce, next month, that the immigration department will start deporting seniors (instead of illegals) in order to lower Social Security and Medicare costs. Older people are easier to catch and will not remember how to get back home.

WILLARD SAYS IT'S GETTING SCARY IN HOUSTON
"Christmas cards are being stolen out of peoples mailboxes. They're looking for cash gifts that people send this time of year.
Burglaries and other robberies are up. At least four bank robberies last week. People are desperate.
An upscale store at Post Oak (Houston's Rodeo Drive) was hit Thursday. Another store hit just a block away.
I am beginning to be concerned about going out even in the daytime."

YOU CAN LEAD A NORWEGIAN TO WATER BUT....
Earlier, I alluded to the fact that, sometimes, Norwegians need a bit of guidance.
CASE IN POINT: As if it isn't cold enough in southern Wisconsin, guess where Carl and Kathy woke up.

ALREADY TIRED OF WINTER
The wind chill at, at 4 A.M., was zero and when the wind picks up, later this morning, we'll see chills as low as 8 below. If I die tomorrow and go to hell it will be a welcome change from a winter in Wisconsin.
A PHOTO A DAY FROM PLANET EARTH
A fun website is A PHOTO A DAY FROM PLANET EARTH. There's a new photo, everyday, from somewhere on the planet. Today it's from NORWAY. Now, here's the thing. It's a picture of a beach taken in the autumn of the year. I suppose it's a nice picture but there's not a palm tree in sight and even the thought of sitting on a Norwegian beach, with winter approaching, gives me goose bumps and makes me shiver.
To make it worse, part of this beach is a NUDE BEACH. Get the picture? A naked Viking standing on a cold Norwegian beach. That has got to be the supreme definition of the phrase, "Not a pretty picture".

TRANE LAYOFFS=BAD NEWS FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Really sorry to hear about the latest layoff's at TRANE. When something like this happens during the holiday season it make it even more difficult to take.
I'D, PROBABLY, WET MY PANTS FLYING INTO A COUPLE OF THESE AIRPORTS!
If you have any interest in aviation, you've GOT to check out National Geographic's photo article on the seven most extreme airports in the world.
Oh, by the way, I also learned something else from this piece. Norway has the northern most airport in the world!

NEW TASTE TODAY
I got an email, this morning, alerting me that NEW TASTE TODAY (check it out here) is now following me on Twitter. I checked out their website and found a great new source for food ideas.
On their site, today, is a quick video about the spices that heal.

THE CHRISTMAS CARD
Today is the day we honor Sir Henry Cole who designed the first Christmas card in 1843. Sir Henry lived, of course, in merry old England and he also designed a very successful tea pot which was, originally, manufactured by the Minton Pottery Company which, later, merged with Royal Doulton.
If you've ever watched "Keeping Up Appearances", on your PBS station, you know all about Royal Doulton. If you haven't seen the show, you've missed one of the funniest British comedy's ever made.

WILLARD GIVES CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE
"Got a letter from Kimberly-Clark Customer service located in Neenah, wherever that is. I had called them to complain about the poor quality of VIVA towels and, are you ready? They are sending me a refund check for $10.99. Now that is customer service. A RARE occurrence these days!"
LYNNE SENT AN INTERESTING ARTICLE FROM USA TODAY
The worlds oldest dog has died in Japan. At 26 years and 8 months that would be the equivalent of 125 human years. Read the story here: USA TODAY
SOMETHING NEW!
Ran over to Co-op to get a couple of things and discovered a new item. STAGECOACH RUBY RED GARLIC GLAZE is a red wine vinegar and red chili pepper BBQ sauce that has no high fructose corn syrup, which I'm not supposed to have but it's almost impossible to get away from it. it's gluten free so even Linda could use it and it's got only 30mg of salt.
I'll be trying it out tomorrow and let you know how it is. Of course, most Norwegians wouldn't like it because it will have some taste and it isn't white. And, the red chili peppers might have a bit of a bite. But there are Norwegians who are a touch more daring...and you know who you are.
ANOTHER SUNRISE MORE THAN A THOUSAND MILES AWAY
Donnie and Linda's sunrise, this morning, looks a lot like our sunrise looked yesterday morning.
RITA'S MEDICAL CONDITION
I asked Rita how she was feeling this morning.
Her reply: "Better but not perky. I'm moving slowly."

REMEMBERING JOHN APPLEBY
He was the Wisconsin native who invented the McCormick Reaper. He reaped his last on this date in 1917.
SOMEBODY HARD TO BUY FOR ON YOUR CHRISTMAS LIST?
Why not give them some SNOWMAN POOP? The Goofy Gift Shop has the perfect gift. It's a Texas company so you know these are some "unique" items.
DEATH
Sorry to hear of the death of MASH star Harry Morgan. 96 years old.
We have a lovely lady who's lived at Elliott Arms for many years. 91 years old. I came home, the other day, and saw the EMS van at the front door. She's been having some health problems so they moved her to assisted living for a while to see how that works out. When you see that dreaded EMS van you know it's one of us old timers going down for the count.
She want's to live to 100. I hope she makes it. I, however, go along with what Vesta used to say. "Who the hell wants to live to be 100"?

WE GOT OFF ON THE WRONG FOOT THIS MORNING

You know how a song will pop into your head and then it just keeps looping over and over and over again in your mind? It happened to me this morning and I'll never know from what dusty corner of my brain this song popped up.

THE BEARS HAVE THE RIGHT IDEA
Go to sleep in the fall and don't wake up until spring. That's the best way to get through this. By 5 o'clock it was already pitch black outside. We were blessed with a bit of sunshine while Roger and I went to the store. Soon after I got home the dark clouds were back and by 5 the sun had moved on to warmer climes.
By the way, do you want to know something about black bears? They're really quite shy creatures. If you should run into one, as long as you don't freak out and scare the hell out of him, he'll probably turn around and walk away from you.
Don't believe me? Get this. For every person that's killed by a black bear there are 180 killed by bees and 60 are killed by domestic dogs. And it's much more dangerous walking around on a golf course during a thunder storm. 350 golfers go to the great golf course in the sky, killed by lightening, for every poor soul that becomes dinner for a hungry bear.

DOWN MEMORY LANE
Did you know that by 1856 200 steamboats a month stopped at La Crosse. In 1858 the first passenger train arrived on the Milwaukee Road.
In 1862 beef was 7 cents a pound, eggs were 12 cents a dozen and you could buy a barrel of apples for $1.00.
In 1870 the La Crosse Police Department consisted of the chief and his assistant, 3 detectives and 6 patrol men.
In 1882 Mark Twain paid a visit to La Crosse. He was a passenger on a steam boat that made a stop in here before continuing on to Minneapolis.
In 1940 I was born in La Crosse. That's when all the fun really started.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that, as of October, Wisconsin is #1 for job losses in the USA.
DRIPPING SPRINGS TEMP: 28 WIND CHILL: 25
Donnie said, "Frost on the pumpkin here today, too.
The weatherman said that even three days of rain was captured entirely by the first few inches of parched soil, and did nothing to fill underground water tables or surface lakes. It will take a long time (if ever) to recover from this Texas drought."

BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE!
I ran the garbage out without putting a coat on. I wouldn't want to be out there too long without more protection and I sure would not want to get locked out in the cold with nothing between me and frostbite but a Panama Canal T-shirt.
DONNIE'S FIRST OBSERVATION FOR THE DAY
"Your blog gets longer each day--obviously you are filled with Christmas spirit...or rum balls."
RITA IS UNDER THE WEATHER
She woke up in bad shape. Thinks it's her sinuses and she aches all over. Roger and I both have aches and pains too. Mine in my back which hurts most of the time now.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If it wasn't for our aches, pains and deteriorating bodies, old folks wouldn't have a damn thing to talk about.

THE ROCKHOPPER
I looked at Bob's birthday song video with the penguins again and it brought back memories. There's a one or two second shot of a Rockhopper Penguin.
John L. stopped combing his hair when he was about 12 and he always walked around town with these little tufts sticking out on each side like Dagwood Bumstad.
Katherine didn't see Dagwood. She saw a Rockhopper Penguin. She started calling John L. "The Rockhopper" which, absolutely, drove John L. up the wall.
As soon as we realized it drove John L. up the wall we all started calling him "The Rockhopper". He was called "The Rockhopper" until the day he died. That wasn't what killed him but it came close to killing him.

AS A PUBLIC SERVICE I'M PUTTING THIS ON MY BLOG
I know my readers and I know they'd never forgive me if I saw this and didn't pass it along. This will be a Christmas you'll long remember with your very own OFFICIAL Red Neck wine glass. I know you'll want, at least, a set of six. With this kind of fine art glass competition, it's no wonder that Stuben went out of business.
E-MAIL FROM RITA WHEN I OPENED MY "IN BOX" THIS MORNING.
"Roger is bringing me to town in the morning and wants to know if you need transport anywhere?"
It was 15 degrees, outside, and the wind chill made it feel like 4 above. Thunder is running low on food and I'm out of egg noodles. Did she think I'd say, "No. I'd rather walk"???

ON THE ROAD AGAIN
Ron and Penny are heading west. Ron wrote, "Penny and I are getting ready to leave for a few weeks but want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We hope 2012 is a good year for everyone and that all of you are as well as can be expected at this stage of our lives.
We are heading to California for a few weeks as I have three sisters and a brother in the LA area and have not been there since 2006. We will spend a couple of days in the Santa Barbara area, and the Danish town of Solvang. From there we will spend a couple of days in the Monterey and Carmel area before enjoying Christmas eve and day in San Francisco where we were married 47 years ago. Next year we may drive around Lake Superior for my 70th birthday sometime in the fall."

LOST AND FOUND
I'm glad I'm not the only one who spends half the day looking for lost items.
Duane said, "I laid my glasses somehwere and can't find them. Looked on the bed, in the bed, looked everywhere. I have a spare pair but I don't like to wear them. I'll look under the bed."
That's where he finally found them---under the bed. I told him I average about 5 losses a day. Most of the time, when I finally find the item it's been in plain sight all along and I just couldn't see it.
I've decided that getting through this old age stage of life can be a real bitch.

KILLING TIME WITH DONNIE
"I'm killing time before a dentist appointment, so I surfed blogs--starting from yours, I hit the "Next Blog" button, wandered through several dozen. Not one had a daily update, and the vast majority have not been updated in many months, even years--most people try it a while, then give up.
I'd like to see the stats--I bet folks like you, daily bloggers, are in a real minority. I imagine this is how you get a lot of your hits, especially from abroad--people like me killing time."

A CARD FROM IOWA
I got a Christmas card from Dave and Bev today and what a beautiful picture that was. A good looking family!!
Glad to hear they've dumped their land line in favor on a cell phone. Getting a cell and getting rid of my land line is one of the smartest things I've ever done. If I'm not mistaken (and I rarely am), I think Bob and Lynne got rid of their land line too.

COUNTING THE DAYS
Rita stopped by with coupons this morning. She said, "I'm late and I don't care". When those days start to "dwindle down" to a precious few it's hard to get fired up about going to work anymore. You just keep your eye on that last day which, in Rita's case, is New Years Eve. Duane said, this afternoon, "Rita will love Retirement!"
Something just dawned on me. I retired on Christmas Eve and Rita is retiring on New Years eve. Neither one of us will ever forget what day it was that we stopped working and started sitting.

THIS PLANET IS 600 LIGHT YEARS AWAY
Do you have any idea what 600 light years coverts to in miles??
THAT WOULD BE 3,600 TRILLION MILES and, considering what a gallon of gas costs today, it would take about as many dollars to "fill 'er up" if you planned on taking a visit in a space craft. It might be cheaper to take that trip to Iquitos.

CARL'S CONTRIBUTION THIS MORNING
The Supreme Court has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene in the United States' Capital this Christmas season. This isn't for any religious reason. They simply have not been able to find Three Wise Men in the Nation's Capitol. A search for a Virgin continues. There was no problem, however, finding enough asses to fill the stable.
I'M GLAD I WENT WHEN I DID!
I was interested in an article from Lonely Planet that lists the 10 "best buys" in travel these days.
One of the places, on the list is IQUITOS, PERU which, by the way, is the largest city in the world that is unreachable by road. Since the city is in the middle of the Amazon Rain Forest you fly in or come up the river, by boat, or you don't go at all.
The article says a visit to Iquitos can cost up to $3500 per person. I've been to Iquitos and it sure didn't cost me $3500. Of course, I was there in the dark ages when you could live a year on $3500.00. I'm glad I went when I did. Anyway, read the article. There are other fun places to visit, in the year to come, that are a lot closer to home.

WILLARD WOKE UP TO A
COLD MORNING
IN HOUSTON
"Wind chill, this morning, is 34 with drizzle. Yuk!"
I haven't heard from Donnie, yet, but Dripping Springs had a temperature of 31 with a wind chill of 25 at 6 AM so, I'm guessing, he's not sipping tea on the deck!

AT LEAST, I'M DOING SOMETHING RIGHT!
On a recent edition of NPR's Science Friday the guest was Dr. Andrew Weil, author of his new book "Spontaneous Happiness". Dr. Weil says, "If you really want to find some feeling of peace and well being you have to turn off your TV and stop reading magazines and newspapers."
AMEN BROTHER! If you really want to know what's going on in Iran, for instance, one recent 300 page book that an author has spent two or three (and sometimes more) years researching and documenting will tell you more about the country, its people and why they hate the USA than a lifetime of 30 second soundbites designed to be outrageous and shocking so that they can entertain you long enough to sell you that toilet paper.

LOUSY WAGES
I've said, since I moved back here, that the cost of living in Wisconsin is outrageous compared to the wages paid here. More expensive than anywhere else I've ever lived.
Now, I see, it's not my imagination. The Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance says Wisconsin wages are 14% less than the national average.

Looks, to me, like winter is here in full force. We'll stay in the 10's and 20's all week.
From now on, I'll venture out only when it's absolutely necessary. Today it's necessary. I'm out of Puffs, paper towels and toilet paper.

DONNIE AND LINDA MUST BE GRINNING FROM EAR TO EAR
SNOWY OWL AIRLINES?
A quartet of snowy owls has landed at the La Crosse Airport which is not a good place for the big birds. There are a lot more snowy owls around, this winter, than there usually are. It's an interesting story in the La Crosse Tribune this morning.
