DOLLS

Have you seen the new Barbie Doll?  Wow!  Wonder what Ken thinks about that?

GOLF

Hey, Golfers, did you see that Augusta National Golf Club has admitted two women???  First time ever!

MONEY

Did you see that APPLE is now the MOST VALUABLE PUBLIC COMPANY IN HISTORY??  The stock, mulitplied by shares hit $623 BILLION TODAY.  Why didn't I buy just one stock, one lousy stock, when they went public?  I'm not sure if I should add that to my "should have done" list or my "too late now" list.

FUNNY

MY KIND OF

WATER COOLER



CATS

This guy has been talkin' to Thunder.

FUNNY QUOTES

Lawrence Welk could be funny, even though he didn't mean to be.  Here's a quote from the champagne music man.  "There are good days and there are bad days, and this is one of them."

A-one and a-two........

TRIVIA

The average price for a hotel room in Moscow is $405.56 a night.  That's the most you'll pay for a hotel room anywhere in the world.  Did you really want to see Moscow that bad?

WEATHER

Boy!  This is a great time of year.  Not, really, summer anymore, not yet fall.  This is the "in-between" season with the kind of weather Goldilocks would call "just right".

We will have sunny skies all week with temperatures in the upper 70's and low 80's. Today's high will be near 74, with tomorrow's high closer to 78. If you've got things to do, outside, before winter hits, this would be the week to do it.

ART

You've got to see this.  The man's name is Pedro Campos and when you first see his work you'll say, "This guy is a good photographer".  But, these aren't photographs.  These are oil paintings on canvas!  See them here at MAIL ON LINE from the website STUMBLE UPON.

HOLIDAY

RADIO DAY

I wonder what

my life would

have been like

without radio?

QUOTE

It was Jonathan Winters who said it but it fits my life so I'll take it for my own.  "I couldn't wait for success, so I went ahead without it."

FOG

Fog along the Mississippi and Wisconsin rivers, again, tonight and tomorrow morning and Tuesday night into Wednesday.  It's that time of year again.

HOPE YOU

LIKE THE

NEW LOOK!

MARS

Did you see this picture of a mountain on Mars?

DEATH

So sorry to hear of the death of Scott McKenzie.  If you don't remember the name, you'll remember his song from 1967  "If you're goin' to San Francisco be sure to wear some flowers in your hair."

Scott was 73.

RIVER

A quiet spot on the river.

From Willard:
"Debra Paget lived in Houston with her Chinese husband.  She was a customer at a pet shop owned by a friend of mine."

KISS A LOT

LOVE ALL OF NATURE



BIRTHDAY

Remember Debra Paget?  She's celebrating her 79th birthday today.  She was born in Denver and is, probably, best known for her movie roles in "The Ten Commandments", which played, here, at the Hollywood Theater and in Elvis Presley's first motion picture, "Love Me Tender" which played the Rivoli.

In 1964 she married Louis C. Kung, a Chinese American, who was an oil executive and a nephew of Madam Chiang Kai-Shek.

DUMB

It's hard to read any news without running across someone making stupid statements.  I wasn't up an hour before I found one this morning.

The lawyers that took on the cigarette companies and got millions of dollars out of them are now taking on the food manufacturers for fooling the public by mislabeling their products.

You'd have to be brain dead not to know that the big food corporations exaggerate their claims, beyond belief, to sell their junk food to the public.  Unfortunately, if you've spent any time, at all, working with the public you know that the world is, actually, jam-packed full of brain dead (and, oh, so gullible) folks.

So, I had to laugh when I read a statement by  an industry lawyer for the food companies.  She says, it's hard to take, seriously, a claim that a consumer was deceived into believing that a chocolate hazelnut bread spread was healthy for children.

It doesn't take much time working with the public to know that you can find hair brains that dumb, any day of the week, that will believe anything they read in a newspaper or magazine or hear on radio or see on television or read on the back of a colorful carton of crap.
