All I got done today was make the bed, get dressed and go to the library and it's already time for lunch. I have no idea where the rest of the morning went.
Einstein sure hit the nail on the head. Time is relative. The older I get, the faster it goes.

And I recently heard of a real, science-based theory that says time not only seems to speed up as we age...it actually, really does. I can neither explain nor understand that, but if it worries you, look it up! The point is, the older you get, the faster you need to move. Hey, I'm already late, and with no place to go!

WHITE WEEKEND FOR BOB AND LYNNE
I just read a report that Madison got 5 inches of snow yesterday and MILTON PICKED UP 4 INCHES.
IT WAS A LONG NIGHT IN DRIPPING SPRINGS
DONNIE REPORTS:
"More of the radical temperature fluctuations of this season. From 80 to 35. The changes cause the sinus headache that has kept me awake all night, so far.
Since going to bed about 10:30, I have been up four times, for tea and medicine and hot chocolate and more tea. I've exhausted eMails. At 3:30 I was mopping the kitchen floor.
Still, these early transitional days before the relentless heat of the long summer are nice enough to almost make it worth the suffering."

IT'S A COLD MORNING IN HOUSTON
WILLARD REPORTS:
"Winds from the north, gusting big time! Can't open the patio door. Too cold."

FLU SEASON IS A LITTLE LATE THIS YEAR
I guess I kind of forgot about the flu this year. Probably because there wasn't any....until now. Flu cases are being reported and this is the latest start for season in 30 years. Read more in the La Crosse Tribune.
GOODBYE CONTINENTAL (THERE'S A TEAR IN MY EYE)
With a lump in my throat, I say goodbye to Continental Airlines and I know I'm not alone. I've only worked at two other companies where the employees were so proud and loyal to the company they worked for.
As of 2:00 A.M. this morning Continental and United Airlines merged their reservation systems and the Continental name moves into the history books. Now, it's all United Airlines and we wish them many successful years of flying.

The first flights to take off under the all new UNITED banner were:
Flights 1122 San Francisco (SFO) to Houston (IAH) and flight 1158 Los Angeles (LAX) to Houston (IAH). Both fights departed at 12:31 AM Pacific Time.
The LAST FLIGHT FOR CONTINENTAL AIRLINES was Flight 1267 which departed Phoenix, as a Continental flight, at 11:59pm (Pacific time) and arrived in Cleveland, this morning, as a United flight.

Perhaps the flights to Houston were looking
for you.
COLD WEEKEND
34 today 33 tomorrow. Those are the forecast HIGH TEMPERATURES. I won't venture far today. In fact, I may not venture at all. I'm waiting for Tuesday. They say our high will be 57. I've forgotten what 57 feels like but I know that's warm enough for me to leave the parka at home.
IMAGINE LIVING ON $4.40 A DAY
Laborers, apparently, did in 1936 and were glad to get it. This is from the Wisconsin Historical Society.
1936 - Higher Wages in Janesville
On March 3, 1936 a new state code sets minimum wages for construction workers in Janesville higher than other Wisconsin cities: $1 an hour for masons, 80 cents for cement finishers, 85 cents for carpenters and 55 cents for laborers. Accounting, office and clerical workers in construction trades were also guaranteed $14 a week. [Source: Janesville Gazette]

YOU KNOW HOW I LOVE DOUGHNUTS
If anyone is going to WINONA, pick up a dozen doughnuts for me at BLOEDOW BAKERY. They've been voted the BEST DOUGHNUTS IN MINNESOTA on WCCO TV.

RULES OF THE ROAD (FAR BACK IN THE COULEE'S)
1. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if the gun is loaded, and the deer is in sight.
2. When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with the largest tires always has the right of way.
3. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape.
4. When sending your wife/girlfriend down the road with a gas can, it is impolite to ask her to bring back beer.
5. Never relieve yourself from a moving vehicle, especially when driving.
6. Do not lay rubber while traveling in a funeral procession.

AN OBSERVATION FROM WILLARD
"When I went to school in the little red schoolhouse, Texas Independence Day was a legal holiday."
DONNIE RUBS IT IN ALL THE WAY FROM TEXAS
"70 degrees at 7 A.M., so I'm going out into the birdsong-filled fresh air for early pancakes."
AN IMPORTANT REMINDER FROM JAYDEN
A magazine subscription at up to 85% off the cover price is a great value, especially when 40% of that purchase will go directly to GIRL SCOUTS OF WISCONSIN-BADGERLAND COUNCIL. PLEASE CLICK HERE to view GIRL SCOUTS OF WISCONSIN-BADGERLAND COUNCIL's web page.
Thank you. Your support is important and goes a long way!
Jayden needs the sales and she's got Viking blood flowing through her veins so you had better know that you either buy some damn magazines or you WILL be pillaged and plundered.
