WHY THE SOUR FACE?
Heavy rains and trees fighting a bacteria assault, in Mexico, are causing a severe shortage of limes north of the border. Lime prices are going sky high. We're looking at a MARGARITA CRISIS IN THE U.S.A.

FRESH AIR!
With the morning sun shining through the windows, this morning, I was able to open the windows for the first time this spring and let the fresh air in.
Yes, there's more snow in the forecast Monday night through Wednesday but right now I'm enjoying the preview of what's to come if winter ever decides to leave us alone for a few months.

WHO'S THE BOSS?
The boss was complaining in our staff meeting the other day that he wasn't getting any respect.
The next day, he brought a small sign that read:
"I'm THE Boss!"
He then taped it to his office door.
Later that day when he returned from lunch, he found that someone had taped a note to the sign that said:
"Your wife called, she wants her sign back!"

#1 ACADEMIA ALCOHOL ARRESTS
REHABS.COM reports that UW-La Crosse ranks #1 in alcohol arrests in the USA. The school rose from #9, on the list, last year.
That's, probably not the best publicity for La Crosse but it's not the first time the city has had its drinking problems exposed and it won't be the last.
WAITING FOR WARMER WEATHER
They say warmer weather is on the way but there's no hint of it yet. The 5:00 A.M. temperature, in La Crosse, was 29 degrees with a WIND CHILL OF 24. That's too cold for these old bones.AUSTRALIA ALREADY CELEBRATING EARTH HOUR

I GOT ANOTHER SWEATER TODAY
Donnie bought a sweater in Ireland that doesn't fit him. It is a beautiful and heavy sweater that will get good use next winter.
This is the second, virtually brand new, sweater he's sent this month. Wouldn't you think, at his age, he'd know enough to check the size before he bought it?
I need a new pair of pants and a coffee pot. I wonder if he has either of those in the wrong size?
MY SHOPPING ADVENTURES
I went to Walgreen's for pills this morning. I'm glad I did because they informed me that April 1 is SENIOR DISCOUNT DAY at Walgreen's.
A 15% discount on most products, a 20% discount on Walgreen's products with your Balance Rewards card and if you stop at the pharmacy you get a free gift! Hey! Is that a deal or what?
Before the Walgreen's trip I went to Co-op to get some meat. That's all I needed. Came home with a bag full of groceries and forgot the meat.
Apparently I wasn't in line when they handed out the memory package for my brain.
THANK YOU GUNDERSON CLINIC!
With the move into the new building, Gunderson Clinic was forced to change their billing policy at Urgent Care. Because Urgent Care and Emergency Care were combined into the same room, insurance rules required that people using Urgent Care would now be required to PAY FOR EMERGENCY CARE even though that was not what they were getting.
Obviously, the clinic was hearing loud and clear from the patients and they responded. They are changing back to separate rooms for urgent and emergency care which will mean the billing will change back to what it was before also.
It's a shame that we live in a country where the health care we get is determined by the insurance companies and politicians rather than medical professionals but, in this case, the medical professionals had enough compassion for their patients to do the right thing.
THE BIRDS....REMEMBERED
It was on March 28, 1963 that "THE BIRDS" opened in New York. The classic Alfred Hitchcock movie was preceded by one of the greatest film trailers of all time. This is PURE HITCHCOCK!

A SUNNY SKY FOR LA CROSSE TODAY
The forecast calls for a sunny sky with a high near 40. Tomorrow, more sun with temperatures climbing to 45.
Alas, this is La Crosse where you can't expect the weather to stay nice very long. Rain returns Sunday night and Monday and we could even get a little more SNOW Monday night.
I WAS THINKING I SHOULD EAT MORE RADISHES
I really love radishes and I don't know why I don't buy them more often.
Radishes have lots of vitamin C, they're rich in fiber and they contain isothiocyanates which fight certain cancers.
"Hey", I thought, "I'm missing out on a healthy thing, here." Then, I read on.
Turns out that radishes have lots of potassium, sodium and phosphorous.
Curses, foiled again. My poor kidneys can't handle that stuff anymore.
Scratch radishes off the grocery list!

ONE OF THE GREATEST LINES IN LITERATURE
From "Nicholas Nickleby" by Charles Dickens
"There are many pleasant fictions of the law in constant operation, but there is not one so pleasant or practically humorous as that which supposes every man to be of equal value in its impartial eye and the benefits of all laws to be equally attainable by all men, without the smallest reference to the furniture of their pockets."
A HUNK A HUNK A BURNING VIDEO!
This is one of the scariest videos I've ever seen. If it were a movie you'd say "neat special effects". THIS AIN'T NO MOVIE. IT'S THE REAL THING!
This happened in HOUSTON, TEXAS!

AGRIHOODS ARE IN!
A friend of Donnie's sent an article from the New York Times that sounds interesting.
The latest trend in living is AGRIHOODS. These are neighborhood communities where "lambs caper in common green areas and chickens scratch in citrus groves."
Apparently, now that we've destroyed as much "nature" as we can (in the name of "development") we've decided to create our own artificial nature.
More and more I've come to think it's humans that are, actually, the "dumb animals".

SNOOKY MEMORIES
SNOOKY LANSON is long gone and so is "Your Hit Parade" but I mention this just because I always wondered what it would be like to be a grown man and have people calling you "Snooky".
In any event, today is a milestone because Snooky was born 100 years ago today.
I pulled up this video so that people, too young to remember, could see who I'm talking about.
For those of us who are old enough to remember, this will remind you just how awful "Your Hit Parade" was and how they managed to turn the weeks top songs into such miserable performances.
When you watch this you have to know that Elvis iis spinning in his grave!
And, everybody's SMOKING! It sure was a different world back then!
SOUNDS LIKE TONIGHT COULD GET MISERABLE
Rain will turn to rain and snow after midnight. Blustery winds to 25 MPH will accompany the precipitation.
That's the bad news. The good news is that tomorrow will be mostly sunny with a high of 41.

HOLD THE COLD....PLEASE!
When you're closing in on the end of March, the sun is shining and you still have a wind chill of 4 below at 10:00 A.M. you know you're not in south Texas anymore! This Wisconsin "spring" has now become just outright ridiculous.

As far as I know, I have never eaten any yogurt and I don't have any abs, as far as I know. What do you think I should do?
SAFE WALKING CITIES
A new survey from Gallup/Healthways lists some of the safest cities to walk in at night. Check these out.
- Des Moines
- Boulder
- Honolulu
- Sioux Falls
Unfortunately, I notice one place on the list of the most unsafe cities to live in is one I lived in. McAllen/Edinburg, Texas.
I must say I walked to work at 4:30 every morning, before the sun was up, for several years and the only time I was "attacked" it was a pack of dogs. Take it from me, unlike humans, if you want to stop a pack of dogs in their tracks, stand your ground and let them know you're not afraid. Run and you're dead meat!
OOPS!
I was about to start getting ready for my doctor appointment, this morning, when a little voice in my head said, "Double check the date, dummy."
I went to the "My Care" account on the internet and, sure enough, when the doctors office called a few weeks ago to change the appointment date I did put the new date on the calendar but forget to delete the old date which was today.
I sure am glad I didn't get out in this miserable cold weather and walk the mile to the clinic to find out I didn't have to be there. The new appointment date is April 30 and if it hasn't warmed up by then....forget it!

I WATCHED MORE TELEVISION, YESTERDAY, THAN I'VE WATCHED IN THE PAST YEAR
I turned the TV on around one o'clock and started flipping through the channels. I happened to catch the PBS series MASTERPIECE THEATER on Wisconsin Public Television.
The were showing a marathon re-run of last seasons "soap opera" series about Harry Gordon Selfridge which I had not seen.
I got hooked on it and watched and watched and watched until 10:00 P.M.!! I can't remember the last time I was up that late or watched that much television.
I have always been fascinated with the life of Harry Selfridge because he was born in Ripon, Wisconsin and grew up to become a very wealthy man working for Marshall Fields in Chicago for 25 years.
He moved his family to London and established the world famous Selfridges Department Store which is still in business today as a chain of very successful high-end department stores.
It was Harry Selfridge who invented the phrase, "the customer is always right" and he was also the first retailer to advertise with the slogan "XX More Shopping Days until Christmas".
Selfridge was one of the most colorful men who ever lived. He invented more successful sales techniques than you can count and in his private life he was a heavy drinker, gambler and woman chaser which was, finally, his downfall.
The series is excellent and a "soap opera" well worth watching. The new season begins Sunday night and I'll be up late every Sunday night for the next few months. If you want to get hooked on great drama, I recommend this program about one of Wisconsin's most famous and colorful legends.
By the way, many department stores still have the perfume/makeup counter right at the front door as you walk in the building. It was Harry Selfridge who put it there. Guess why?
Back in the day when he opened his store, most of the transportation was still by horse and buggy. That meant that customers tended to track horse manure into the store and that's the first thing you smelled when you opened the door. Harry took care of that a "spritz" of perfume!

I got a note from Alan Leith Gollner after I sent him a note telling him how much I'm loving his book, "The Book of Immortality".
This is not the first author I've contacted to tell them how much I like their work and every one has always answered my note.
After my many years in radio, I know how quick the public is to criticize but few let you know when they like what your doing. I suppose that's why I feel the need to let them know they're appreciated.
Alan's book covers a lot of territory but, right now, I'm reading about the interviews he did with David Copperfield and, let me tell you, it's a fascinating story!
