GUNS
Donnie read the story about the brisk sale of guns in Wisconsin and said, "I'm reminded (once again) of a Bob & Ray skit in which a German immigrant arrives in the 19th C. American West. His name is Hans Upmeyer, but fearing confusion over a foreign name, he shortens is to "Hans Up," and quickly discovers that every time he introduces himself out on the frontier, people give him their money."
OK. I'm already in TWITTER so might as well add FACEBOOK too. I started updating my Facebook page this morning so, if you don't see it here, you'll probably see it there.

ST. IVES
I love St. Ives products and this should be enough moisturizers to fight my dry skin for what little is left of this life.
DONNIE'S THOUGHT:
"And the St. Ives people damn well better send you a small commission for this ad!"
BLOG READERS
HELLO CANBERRA!
We had a reader in Canberra, Australia this morning. How's the winter down under?
TEXAS HEAT
It will be around 90 in Houston and 93 in Austin today. I wish they'd share a few of those degrees with us. Rita and I have both decided that we've had it up to HERE with rain, clouds and chilly weather.

WORM POOP
If you want a more beautiful garden, you've got to check this story in the La Crosse Tribune (Click Here) on what a great fertilizer worm droppings are.
FROM BERT
"Had a great day on the lake. Turning red but realized, after spending 4 hours on a pontoon boat, how much I really want to work on a cruise ship. Hope I can some day.
Supposed to rain today so I think it will be a shopping day."

FROM CARL
A study conducted by Harvard University found that the average Wisconsinite walks 900 miles a year. A study by the American Medical Association found that a Wisconsinite drinks about 22 gallons of alcohol a year. This means, on average, Wisconsinites get about 41 miles to the gallon. Kind of makes you proud to be from Wisconsin.
BAD VIBRATIONS
I haven't heard any rumbles from Donnie and Linda, this morning, but I have heard about some vibrations in Austin.
It's been going on since early this morning when the houses in a north Austin neighborhood began vibrating. Police have received several reports but have not, yet, found a cause. It will be interesting to see what Donnie and Linda have heard about it.

CRICKET
THE CHIRPING HAS STOPPED
Thunder tracked Mr. Cricket down and alerted me to his find. I moved in for the kill. Jiminy has chirped his last.
SUPER MOON
CBS NEWS has a great shot of last nights SUPER MOON on their web site: CLICK HERE We, of course, missed it with all the clouds and rain.
MORE PUNS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED
When chemists die, they barium.
Jokes about German sausage are the wurst.
I know a guy who's addicted to brake fluid. He says he can stop any time.
How does Moses make his tea? Hebrews it.
I stayed up all night to see where the sun went. Then it dawned on me.
This girl said she recognized me from the vegetarian club, but I'd never met herbivore.
I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. I just can't put it down.
I did a theatrical performance about puns. It was a play on words.
They told me I had type-A blood, but it was a Type-O.
PMS jokes aren't funny; period.
Why were the Indians here first? They had reservations.
We're going on a class trip to the Coca-Cola factory. I hope there's no pop quiz.
I didn't like my beard at first. Then it grew on
Did you hear about the cross-eyed teacher who lost her job because she couldn't control her pupils?
When you get a bladder infection urine trouble.
Broken pencils are pointless.
I tried to catch some fog, but I mist.
What do you call a dinosaur with an extensive vocabulary? A thesaurus.
England has no kidney bank, but it does have a Liverpool.
I used to be a banker, but then I lost interest.
I dropped out of communism class because of lousy Marx.
All the toilets in New York 's police stations have been stolen. The police have nothing to go on.
I got a job at a bakery because I kneaded dough.
Haunted French pancakes give me the crêpes.
Velcro - what a rip off!
A cartoonist was found dead in his home. Details are sketchy.
Venison for dinner again? Oh deer!
The earthquake in Washington obviously was the government's fault.

Donnie says: "Linda's step-father lives there. We have visited often. I assume you'll be taking the thermal baths."
COMPUTER CRASH
Why
Computers Sometimes Crash! by Dr. Seuss.
(Read this to yourself aloud - it's great!)
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is interrupted at a very last resort, and the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.
If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, and the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, and your data is corrupted cause the index doesn't hash, then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!
If the label on the cable on the table at your house, says the network is connected to the button on your mouse, but your packets want to tunnel to another protocol, that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall.
And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss, so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse; then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang, 'cuz sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang.
When the copy on your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk, and the macro code instructions are a necessary risk, then you'll have to flash the memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM, and then quickly turn it off, and be sure to tell your Mom!
Well, that certainly clears things up for me. How about you?
Thank you, Bill Gates, for bringing all this into our lives

Duane had a treat yesterday. "I have red cardinals at the feeder. Wonderful! Have never had cardinals before. Beautiful birds. I love it!"
