ANOTHER HO-HUM DAY HAS LEFT ME WITH LITTLE TO SAY

 I'M GLAD I NEVER TOOK AN INTEREST IN FISHING YEARS AGO OR THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ME HUDDLED UP OUT THERE ATOP BAYFIELD'S SOUTH PIER ON THIS COLD WET AND RAINY MORNING
Under a gray damp overcast, we had a slight combination of snow and drizzly rain this morning.  Kelly wandered off to Goderich to return a few things while Pheebs and I took a short drive into Bayfield and back.  So, another ho-hum day has left me with little to say.       

A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN LAKE HURON'S WATER LEVEL WAS HIGH IT WAS ONLY ABOUT 10 FEET FROM THESE BOULDERS TO THE WATERLINE
Here is an 'exceptionally well-done' short film by filmmaker Erik Wernquist about what future space travel may look like for travelers.  One Revolution Per Minute. Watch this on the largest screen you can, with the best sound you have. (preferably headphones)  'Sights I'd Like To See From Places I'll Never Be'.  Also, from the same director is another fine short film entitled Wanderers narrated by the late astronomer, Carl Sagan.

 IT LOOKS LIKE THESE TREES HAVE GROWN UP AROUND SOME OLD NAUTICAL GEAR NEAR THE BAYFIELD RIVER

Ellen's Groove:))  A new bass guitar for Ellen.  She tries out her Mayones bass and does a bit of singing.  She has a ways to go but by golly, she's getting there.....Ellen's New Bass Guitar

 SOME FARMERS ARE STILL TRYING TO GET THEIR CORN HARVEST IN BEFORE THE SNOW FLIES
Al's Music Box:)) You Didn't Have To Be So Nice is a song by American rock band the Lovin' Spoonful. It was issued on a non-album single in November 1965 and reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1966.  The song was later included in the band's March 1966 album Daydream. According to its writer, band bassist, and songwriter Steven Boone, it was inspired by 1960s celebrity photographer Nurit Wilde. Billboard described the song as having a "good lyric and strong dance beat." Cash Box described it as a "catchy cut" with "a sweet romantic touch."  The song has been cited as an inspiration for the composition of the 1966 song "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys.

 YUP, IT'S DEFINITELY PURPLE ALRIGHT
GROANER'S CORNER:(( Being a little older, I am very fortunate to have someone call and check on me every day. He is from India and is very concerned about my car warranty.

I choked on a carrot this morning, and all I could think of was, "I'll bet a doughnut wouldn't have done this to me."


Nothing spoils a good story more than the arrival of an eye witness. (Mark Twain)

I finally realize why I look so bad in pictures. It's my face.

It only takes one slow-walking person in the grocery store to destroy the illusion that I'm a nice person.

Women are like telephones ... They love to be held. They love to be talked to. But, if you press the wrong button, you're DISCONNECTED.

  2. Time to start the Aubrey-Maturin series by O'Brian. (I'll keep hammering on this...can't imagine how you wouldn't get fascinated.) Now that the days are getting shorter and reading time longer.
