I MIGHT NOT HAVE ENOUGH CLOTHES LEFT TO EVEN RUN MYSELF TEASINGLY THROUGH A NUDIST COLONY

 A VERY RARE SIGHTING OF A PILEATED WOODPECKER OUTSIDE THE LIVING ROOM WINDOW THIS AFTERNOON

This morning, while trying to think of something to write about other than weather-related stuff, I stumbled across one of my posts from July 2018 in which I wrote the following paragraph.  Pheebs and I were home before ten from our morning drive and I headed into the house.  Well what to do, what to do,on a dull rainy Sunday.   Well it’s amazing sometimes what boredom can do to a fella, so I grabbed a pencil and a piece of paper, opened my closets and drawers, and commenced counting my clothes.  Do you know I have 21 winter shirts, 23 summer shirts, 14 pairs of pants, including winter, summer, and track.  Five summer jackets, 4 winter coats, and 10 pairs of assorted footwear for all seasons.  Four vests, 4 sets of PJ’s, 14 short and long sleeve T-shirts, and 1 bathrobe.  Six cowboy hats and 6 baseball hats.   Five pairs of gloves with 3 of them being for winter and the other two for motorcycling.  Oh ya, I don’t have a motorcycle anymore but by golly, I still got the leather gloves for sure.  Two yellow raincoats.  I probably have about 15 pairs of socks and underwear, numbering somewhere in the thousands.  Underwear seems to last forever eh.  I think I had better seriously plan on a big load going to the Goodwill Store soon.  Maybe an even bigger load going to the dump!! 

 THIS IS THE LARGEST WOODPECKER IN THE WOODPECKER CLAN

So there you have it, and I can safely say that now, seven years later, I have drastically reduced that inventory by about two-thirds.  But, you know what, I still have way too much stuff, but once again spurred on by sheer boredom, I grabbed some big plastic bags today and tore into my closets again.  At this rate of purging, I might not have enough clothes left to even run myself teasingly through a nudist colony.

 I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE TWO LARGE CROWS ON THE BIRD STATION TODAY

 LOOKS LIKE THIS ONE SNAGGED A KERNAL OF CORN

 THE CROWS LOOKED VERY WELL FED AND I WAS GLAD TO SEE THAT

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Tom is applying for a job as a signalman for the local railroad and is told to meet the inspector at the signal box. The inspector decides to give Tom a pop quiz, asking: "What would you do if you realized that two trains were heading towards each other on the same track?" Tom says, "I would switch one train to another track." "What if the lever broke?" asks the inspector. "Then I'd run down to the tracks and use the manual lever down there", answers Tom. "What if that had been struck by lightning and not working?" challenges the inspector. "Then," Tom continued, "I'd run back up here and use the phone to call the next signal box.""What if the phone line was busy?" "In that case," Tom argued, "I'd run to the street level and use the public phone near the station". "What if that had been vandalized and was broken?" "Oh well," said Tom, "in that case I would run into town and get my Uncle Leo". This puzzled the inspector, so he asked, "Why would you do that?""Because he's never seen a train crash before."

A hillbilly was making his first visit to a hospital where his teenage son was about to have an operation. Watching the doctor's every move, he asked, "What's that?" The doctor explained, "This is an anesthetic. After he gets this, he won't know a thing." "Save your time, Doc," exclaimed the man. "He don't know nothing now."

A guy is walking down the street with his friend. He says to his friend, "I'm just a walking economy." His friend replies, "What do you mean?" "It's like this: My hairline is in recession, my stomach is a victim of inflation, and the combination of these factors is putting me into a deep depression.

Pappy sees Elmer walking with a lantern and asks, "Where ya going boy?" The son smiled and replied, "I'm a-going courting Peggy-Sue." The Father said, "When I went a-courtin', I didn't need me no dang lantern." "Sure Pa, I know." the boy said. "And look what you got !"
