I TRY NOT TO SKIP ANY OF THE HIGHLIGHTS AT THIS TIME OF YEAR

Having not gotten out for my morning car ride through the countryside in a couple of days, I figured I had better get my buns in gear and get rolling.  In the light skiff of overnight snow, Subie left noticeable tire tracks along a few of the country roads where other vehicles had not yet ventured.  How nice it was to see a few cows and horses out and about.  Home again, and feeling a little wobbly on my feet, I kind of dozed away a part of this afternoon's day.  One month from now, it will be the first day of Spring.  Yes, I know I sound like a stuck record, but I try not to skip any of the highlights at this time of  year:))

Al's Music Box:: Breaking Up Is Hard To Do by Neil Sedaka.  This version of the song starts out with the original release, and then Neil mellows it down into a slower version re-released years later.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer are all given identical rubber balls and told to find the volume. They are given any tools they want and have all the time they need. The mathematician uses a measuring tape to record the circumference. He then divides by two times pi to get the radius, cubes that, multiplies by pi again, and then multiplies by four-thirds and thereby calculates the volume. The physicist gets a bucket of water, places 1.000000 gallons of water in the bucket, drops in the ball and measures the displacement to six significant figures. The engineer writes down the serial number of the ball and looks it up online.

OK... but don't let me catch you speeding again."

Something To Think About

THOUGHTLESS, SELF-CENTERED, AND FOOLISH!!!!

It was more out of boredom from sitting around on a cold, rainy, late February day than anything else that we decided to take a drive to Goderich and pick up a few groceries.  While there, I was curious to have a look at the ice situation down around the harbor.  Saw a couple of police cars stopped along the lakeside road.  At the same time, I saw a single individual walking far out on the offshore ice pack.  With the extremely hazardous condition of the melting lake ice over the past few days, I thought about how foolish it would be for someone to venture out that far on the thinning, unstable, and shifting ice.  Not only foolish, but how thoughtless and self-centered this person must be.  If this individual falls through the ice that far from the shoreline, he would not have long to live in the icy Lake Huron water.  He was not only putting himself in danger, but he was also putting the lives of firefighters and rescue personnel in danger as well, while either trying to help him or retrieve his body.  Thoughtless, self-centered, and foolish!!!!

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Wandering dejectedly in The Garden of Eden, Eve told God, "I'm lonely I'm tired of eating apples by myself." "Okay," God said, "I'll create a man for you." Eve said, "A man! What's that?" "He's a creature with aggressive tendencies and an enormous ego. He won't listen very well, he'll get lost easily, but never stop to ask for directions. However, he is big and strong, he can open jars and hunt animals. "Sounds great!" said Eve. "Oh, and one more thing," God said. "He will want to believe that I made HIM first."

Two attorneys went into a diner and ordered two drinks. Then they produced sandwiches from their briefcases and started to eat. The owner became quite concerned and marched over and told them, "You can't eat your own sandwiches in here!" The attorneys looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and then exchanged sandwiches.

A frog telephones the Psychic Hotline and is told: "You are going to meet a beautiful young girl who will want to know everything about you." The frog says: "This is great! Will I meet her at a party?" "No," says the psychic: "Next semester, in her biology class."
