| IT IS THAT TIME OF THE SEASON AGAIN......APPLES:)) |
Another picture-perfect early September morn. Home after my walk I immediately set about taking care of a number of outside tasks, with grass cutting and weed pulling being two of them. I normally don't put summer garden ornaments and things away until early October, but I felt like doing it this morning, and that is what I did. It's easier for me to do things when I feel like doing them and simultaneously have the energy to do them. I've learned that I had better take advantage of those two things and do as much as I can when the spirit moves me. Like the old saying goes, 'Strike While The Iron Is Hot'. Hey, I even cleaned a couple of inside windows. Well, fancy that:))

Friday evening, after my phone call to Aunt Jean in Florida, I slipped out the door, cranked up Subie, and headed east out of the Park. But not too far. Woodsy had sent me a Facebook article saying the International Space Station would be flying directly overhead from west to east at precisely 8:35. I turned left onto the second country road I came to, drove a few hundred yards, and stopped. Stepping out, I could see the sky was clear and free of clouds. I quickly looked to the west, and within a minute, there came the ISS right on time and right on track. There was no mistaking its brightness in the clear night sky, and it was clearly visible as it took the best part of two minutes to traverse the heavens from west to east. Probably one of the best ISS sightings I've experienced......And, on a different note, a few readers have said there seems to be some problems with my sidebar updating, etc. I wish I had an answer for that, but I don't. If I had to guess, I'd say it might be a Blogger problem because a few nights ago I couldn't upload any photos or anything to Groaner's Corner, Al's Doggy World, Meanings, or Al's Art Gallery. I tried everything I knew, including rebooting the computer several times. I went to bed thinking the end of my blog was probably at hand. The next day, when I tried again, everything worked perfectly. So, I don't know; it could very well be a temporary Blogger issue. I hope the sidebar problem resolves itself, and I'd appreciate knowing if it does.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Two men are standing by the roadside when a tractor drives past. The driver is ranting and shouting, 'The end of the world is nigh!' One guy says, 'Oh no, we’re all gonna die, what shall we do?' His friend replies, 'Don’t worry about him, that’s just Farmer Geddon!'

A man was telling his neighbor, "I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect." "Really," answered the neighbor. "What kind is it?" "Twelve thirty."

- Why couldn't the lifeguard rescue the hippie?' Because he was too far out, man.
- Why does a chicken coop only have two doors? Because if it had four, it would be a chicken sedan.
- Why don't anteaters ever get sick?
Because they are full of little anty-bodies.
- What do you call a caveman passing gas? A blast from the past.
- A tire thief is at large ... and the police are working tirelessly to catch him.
- How many therapists does it take to change a light bulb? Only one, but it takes a long time, and the light bulb has to want to change.
