Duane is taking a break. Unfortunately, it's in the hospital. He's recovering from pneumonia. I talked to him, this afternoon, and he said he's feeling a lot better and the doctors say he should be able to go home Monday.

IT'S BEEN ONE OF THOSE DAYS
I have spent most of the morning fighting with this #@%**++ computer, trying to log in. "incorrect password", "you don't have an account", and all sorts of other odd messages kept popping up.
How did I fix it? I don't know. I just kept hitting keys and going to different windows and using every naughty word I could think of and, all of a sudden, my computer decided it knew me again. I have a sneaking suspicion it was the naughty words that made the difference.
LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE NUT!
They're loaded with energy, filled with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals....Oh! Oh! One of the minerals they're loaded with is potassium.
Potassium is great for controlling heart rate and blood pressure. Alas, you have to get rid of excess potassium or it will settle in your bones and turn them to mush.
If your kidneys are failing, your body can't get rid of that extra potassium and mushy bones suck which means no blueberry walnut pie for me.
Another one of the perks of living in your "golden years".

You got your National Nut Day goin' here and I woke up thinking about blueberries for some reason. Combine the two and you come up with BLUEBERRY WALNUT PIE (Click here for recipe)

What if the bible contained a passage about a parent teaching table manners to his children? This is one of the cutest bits of humor you'll ever read. CONCERNING FOOD AND DRINK
WKBT is reporting a story about a La Crosse couple who lived in Lybia for many years. My memory is pretty shakey on my high school days but, if I'm not mistaken, I think John Monson taught school in West Salem back in the '50's. Maybe Donnie will remember. SEE THE INTERVIEW HERE
MARK THIS ON YOUR CALENDAR
"RAIN" a Tribute to the Beatles from the beginning through the 60's will be performed by the BROADWAY CAST from the RUSHMORE PLAZA CIVIC CENTER IN RAPID CITY on NBC Sunday November 6 from 3 to 5 CENTRAL TIME.
The show was taped on October 15 for the November 6 airing. I can't wait to see that.

George Clooney says actors have huge egos but a politicians is bigger.
NOAA says 91% of Texas, 87% of Oklahoma and 63% of New Mexico now are experiencing extreme or exceptional drought and it would take 10 to 15 inches of rain before it even started to make a difference. According to the forecasts for the winter, they ain't gonna get it.
This will blow your mind. Behind the USA and India, Nigeria has the 3rd biggest film industry in the world!
Remember Joyce Randolph? You do? Then you're really, really, really, really old. She played Trixi on "The Honeymooners". The rest of the cast is gone but she's still hanging in there at 87 today.
Foreigners are buying about 25% of the Florida homes being sold these days.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN
Donnie and Linda are leaving on a little trip tomorrow. He said, "We depart for Ft. Davis, El Paso, and Surprise, AZ. (Surprise is a suburb of Phoenix, where Linda's sister-in-law is retired.) Should be back around Nov. 1.
Linda is out now buying a new laptop to take on the road, so if she can figure it out, we should remain on-line."
WHY SURPRISE?
I just couldn't rest until I found out why they would name the town "Surprise". It turns out that Flora Mae (great name) Statler, whose husband was a big real estate developer, named the town and she called it "Surprise" because she said she's be surprised if it ever amounted to anything.
It did, indeed, amount to something. In 2000 the population of Surprise was 30,848 folks. By 2010 there were 117,517 people living in Surprise. And no one would be more surprised than Flora Mae.

Good old Harold Camping is checking his calculations again. He's the preacher who said the world would end on May 21. When it didn't happen he said he made a mistake in the calculations. He forgot to carry the 1, or something.
He's re-calculated and he's got it right this time. It will all definitely come to an end tomorrow.
So, that does it. No need to cover any plants. Tonight's hard freeze won't make a damn bit of difference since there won't be any tomorrow. Which means doing a load of laundry this morning will just be a waste of my valuable time.

Donnie was here, around this time, one year and we went through the maze. The maze is located on a farm owned by one of Donnie's class-mates but, of course, I've forgotten who it was.
Actually it's kind of fun to try finding your way out. If Donnie hadn't been along, I'd still be out in the field looking for the exit.

Great joke in the Viking book I'm reading.
A man put lutefisk under the porch to get rid of the skunks who were living there. It got rid of the skunks but now he can't figure out how to get rid of the Norwegians.

I'M SAVING MY PENNYS FOR THE STAMP INCREASE. 45 CENTS BEGINNING JAN 22
Excitement around Eric and Berts hometown yesterday when a plane ran into a car in Watertown. Check out this story and picture from the La Crosse Tribune.
So you think you had trouble getting to work this morning? How would you like to try this?
It reminds me of a hot day in July, in New York. It was rush hour. I was jammed up against a lady with a gigantic purse with plastic fruit glued onto the side.
The temperature in the subway car had to be 100 degrees. The glue started to melt. The fruit started to fall off. We were packed in so tight that neither one of us could bend down to retrieve her "purse decor".

SOME ADULT TRUTHS
1. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
5. How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind-of tired.
10. Bad decisions make good stories.
11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blu- Ray dvds? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.
13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.
14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Light than Kay.
17. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.
18. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
19. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?
20. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!
21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
22. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.
23. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet in Hockey was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.
Ladies.....Quit laughing

YOU HEAR FROM EVERYBODY ON TWITTER. BARBARA WALTERS HAS A DENTIST APPOINTMENT THIS MORNING.
I was just wondering what country had the fattest people in the world and guess what. It's the USA at #1 followed by Mexico at #2. The Netherlands came in at #20 and Norway is WAY down there at #26. For the complete list click here.
My book, "Vikings in the Attic" gets better by the page. Reading , this morning, author Eric Dregni says the Norwegians used to lay the lutefisk, outside, on blocks of ice. Dogs would occasionally come by and pee on it but they said that just added to the flavor. According to historians it's not only a joke. It's true!
Those silly Norskies are a funny bunch, aren't they??

I'll be riding in style before long! La Crosse has received a $1.32 million grant to buy 3 new diesel-electric buses at $550,000 a pop. Lot's of money but they're cleaner, quieter and there are BIG savings on fuel. It will be about 18 months before we get them so I'm hoping I'll still be around and riding when they get here.

I started reading "Vikings in the Attic" (In search of Nordic America) by Eric Dregni, this morning, and I can't put it down.
These are the Vikings of the 1800's who came from the Scandinavian countries and settled in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota.
From those awful first years, on the prairie, the hardships sound like something beyond anything a human could endure. Oh, how they wanted to go home. And how angry some were when they found out the new country was not a paradise. Instead, it was a living hell. But with no money for a ticket back to Norway they were stuck...which is why WE'RE HERE and not THERE!!
I've gone through the huge Norwegian neighborhoods in Chicago and Minneapolis..in fact it was the Norwegians who built Minneapolis.
Now I've moved into the Norwegian food which I thought I knew all about. I didn't. I knew about the Norwegian meat balls but the Norwegian fish balls were a new taste treat that I quickly put on the same list I have the lutefisk on. And, potato coffee was brand new to me. Coffee made from dried potato skins that the early Norwegians said was very good. I'm sure it was. After eating a plate of lutefisk and fish balls, liquefied potato skins would taste like a fine wine!
Tell your Norwegian friends and relatives not to miss this book! See more about the book:

THE HOTTEST OCT. 17 EVER RECORDED IN LA CROSSE WAS 84 IN 1910
One of the greatest highlights of my life was my trip to the Amazon Rain Forest which, in our greed, we are doing everything we can to completely destroy. Nowhere else, on earth, is the miracle of nature and evolution more obvious. This short video is a case in point.
THE COLDEST OCTOBER 17 EVER RECORDED IN LA CROSSE WAS 23 IN 1952
What is MULLIGAN DAY? Well, The word "mulligan" has several meanings. It can be a stew when you take a pot and throw in whatever you have on hand. Or, there's a mulligan in golf (or any other game) where you get to do a move over again. There's Mulligan, the horse, that won the Grand National Steeplechase in 1849. There are people who have the surname of Mulligan. There's even a Mulligan record label in Ireland.
As far as I can find out, Mulligan Day takes the golf, or game, meaning. "DO OVER". So, if you prefer, this is "Do Over Day". Surely there's a thing or two you wish you could "do over". Right?

Donnie has finally figured out why our health care system is so peachy keen perfect compared to other countries.
"I may not understand it quite right, but this is what it looks like. The uninsured price of a month's supply of Lipitor was over $100. With my insurance, I paid $25 when I started taking it a couple years ago. After a year my cost went to $30, simply because the companies are allowed annual price hikes, whether they need it or not. (They don't, as this tale illustrates.) Then my doctor told me the Lipitor monopoly patent is expiring and the drug is going generic, meaning there will be all kinds of cheaper competition. (The glories of free market capitalism.) Anticipating this, in an effort to keep its customers, the originating company gave doctors discount cards, one of which which my doctor gave to me. If I keep buying Lipitor, instead of some knock-off brand, I can get it for just $4 a month, and you know the company is still making a profit at $4, or they wouldn't be selling it. So put it all together: The company was charging over $100 for a product they can actually sell at a profit for $4."

"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just
pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more
than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible
for re-election. The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months and 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971...before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc.
Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.
Congressional Reform Act of
2011*
1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void
effective 1/1/12.
The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: ANGELA LANSBURY-86 TODAY
Anyway, I mentioned, yesterday, that I was making chicken soup (which was absolutely DELICIOUS, by the way) and Rita sent me an email: "I also am working on some chicken soup!"
As soon as the leaves start turning I used to start thinking about chili but, since my chili days are over, I now have to settle for chicken soup.
TODAY'S QUOTE: "Time is but the shadow of the world upon the background of eternity."
JEROME K. JEROME
Who the hell would name a baby Jerome K. Jerome. To make it worse, the K stands for Klapa. As Jack Paar used to say, "I kid you not". Jerome Klappa Jerome. It almost sounds like he's applauding himself.
Anyway, Jerome K. was an English writer and humorist.
You'd have to be a humorist with a name like Jerome Klappa Jerome.
