LOVE THIS QUOTE

MORE OF THE SAME

Rita called this morning to see if I was OK.  She wondered because I hadn't posted anything since yesterday morning.
 
It's strange but, every now and then, things seem to come to a stop and there's really nothing going on.
 
I checked my email, when I got on line this morning, and there wasn't a single bit of mail in my Google or Yahoo! email accounts.  I don't remember that ever happening before.  Even the folks who send junk mail have, apparently, crossed me off their list.
 
Maybe the world has just decided that everything has already been said.
 
There's not even anything to say about the weather.  It's the same story that it's been for weeks on end; rain and snow today, rain tonight, rain tomorrow, rain and snow Tuesday.
 
In Panama they don't bother with weather forecasts because it's always the same.  Hot and humid.  The same thing seems to be happening here.  Always the same.  Cold and wet.
 
If something changes, let me know.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOUR MAJESTY

87 TODAY

WHAT THIS WORLD NEEDS IS A GOOD SHOT OF VODKA

LYNNE REPORTS:
"Bob says yes.  Mulligan's does carry Pinnacle Vodka and also Rainbow Sherbet Vodka.  They have five flavored ones now.

Still way too cold and windy.  Love the sunny skies though.  It may make 40 but the wind chill is cold."

THIS IS JUST ABOUT THE CUTEST VIDEO I'VE EVER SEEN

WILLARD SPIES A RED BREAST

"I saw a robin feeding on the patio yesterday.  I have never seen a robin in Houston.  Must have migrated South to get out of the La Crosse weather."
I'm delighted to see that the airline industry and the pilots union are suing the FAA over the decision to furlough air traffic controllers in smaller airports across the USA, including La Crosse.

To infer that shutting down the control towers won't compromise safety is ridiculous and to predict this won't cause delays is laughable.

It's clear that the Federal agencies and congress would rather play political games than concern themselves with the safety and convenience of the American people.
U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT has an article listing the "Best doughnuts in the U.S.A."  The article is flawed, of course, because they fail to list KWIK TRIP'S GLAZERS which, probably, aren't mentioned because this is only the best in the USA.  Glazers are, of course, the best in the world.

Although they missed Glazers, I noticed they do list a doughnut that's only about 20 miles away from Donnie and Linda.   It's ROUND ROCK DOUGHNUTS (CLICK HERE FOR THEIR WEBSITE)

Next time Donnie comes I'm going to get him to bring me a dozen and we'll see how they stack up against Glazers.

I LAUGHED SO HARD I CRIED

I really get a kick out of stupid people.

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD THIS PROBLEM

I wonder if the liquor store where Bob Blair works carries PINNACLE VODKA?  They have a new ice cream flavored vodka called Rainbow Sherbet.  I'll bet that would make a tasty sip on a hot summer day......if we ever, again, have a hot summer day.
Where do you have to go to get a $40,000.00 cocktail?

If you're thinking there is no such thing as a $40,000 martini you're wrong.  CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT THIS GOODIE

Earth Day is Monday but the celebration begins today with Neighbors Day Spring Cleaning.
 
 
Volunteers will meet at the Black River Beach Neighborhood Center, this morning, and then spread out to clean up the town.  Even though it's a "spring cleaning" they'll have to wear their winter clothes this year.

STILL COLD BUT....AT LAST...A DAY OF SUNSHINE

It was 27 degrees when I got up this morning.  Considering the average low for this time of year is 40 I would call 27 too damn cold.

Even though we'll have a sunny day, the high will only get up to about 42.  So, our high, today, will be what our low should be and our forecast low should be in January!

The sun will last for one day only.  Tonight, snow will return and it will be a combo of rain and snow continuing through Tuesday night.

There's just no end in sight, folks!

Guess what I learned today.....
Fog is made of very teeny tiny drops of water.  In fact, the drops are so teeny tiny it would take seven thousand million teeny tiny drops to fill a tablespoon.

If you don't believe me, count them next time we have fog.

Rita and I are going to get a little culture this weekend.  We're going to see A CHORUS LINE, the show that ran for almost 15 years on Broadway.  One of the longest running shows in theater history.

This is a production of the Viterbo Theater Department which has had several students go on to professional careers in theater and music.  The choreography is directed by Shane Rhodes who is a professional actor and dancer and has performed in national tours of the show.

So, we're looking forward to a good performance.
