I hit the deck running this morning and kept at it until 2 this afternoon. Never bothered with a car ride and used that time to load the sawed-up Juniper tree into the utility trailer. Knowing the Park's recycling area would be muddy from Monday night's rain, I didn't bother hauling the load down there. Maybe tomorrow. Got another area cleaned up behind the carport and raked up a couple wheelbarrow loads of pine needles and yard waste, mowed some grass, whacked some weeds, and trimmed some branches. Woodsy bought a new bicycle at Canadian Tire last week, so I took it for a short spin. Couldn't believe how tired and weak my legs felt when I got back. And, I only went around the block:(( By 2 p.m. I was so ker-pooped that I came inside, flopped into my recliner, and faded away. Another day done gone....... I didn't take any photos today, but while looking for Kelly and Pheebs' pics, I came across a picture Kelly took about 15 years ago when I found a young owl on the ground by the Park's pond. I was able to quietly talk to the little fellow and lift him up. I brought him home and thought maybe I could get it to eat something. Kelly took a photo of the owl and I in our kitchen as I tried to feed him something. Later, after a phone call, Kelly and I drove the little guy to an owl rescue place somewhere southwest of London. We heard later that the little chap didn't make it:(( And, hey guess what?? Woodsy rolled in this afternoon. And that's a big 'Yahouie Louie.Al's Music Box:)) The Night Has A Thousand Eyes is a song written by Benjamin Weisman, Dorothy Wayne, and Marilyn Garrett. It became a popular hit in 1962 for Bobby Vee and has had several cover versions over the years. The song was first recorded in October 1962 by American pop music singer Bobby Vee, at United Recorders, Hollywood, California. The recording was arranged by Ernie Freeman and produced by Snuff Garrett. Released as a single in late 1962, it spent 14 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, reaching number 3, while ranking number 2 on Billboard's Middle-Road Singles chart, and number 8 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart. The song was included on Vee's 1963 Liberty Records album, The Night Has a Thousand Eyes.
GROANER'S CORNER:(( Three men are sitting naked in the sauna. Suddenly, there is a beeping sound. The first man presses his forearm, and the beeping stops. The others look at him questioningly. "That's my pager," he says. "I have a microchip under the skin of my arm." A few minutes later a phone rings. The second man lifts his palm to his ear. When he finishes, he explains, "That's my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand." The third man, feeling decidedly low-tech, steps out of the sauna. In a few minutes, he returns with a piece of toilet paper extending from his rear. The others raise their eyebrows. "I'm getting a Fax," he explains.

Did anyone see the joke I posted recently about my spine? It was about a weak back.
----------------------------------------
The soldier serving overseas, far from home was annoyed and upset when his girl wrote breaking off their engagement and asking for her photograph back. He went out and collected from his friends all the unwanted photographs of women that he could find, bundled them all together, and sent them back with a note saying: "I regret I cannot remember which one is you -- please keep your photo and return the others.
