THE EMPHASIS THERE IS ON THE WORD 'MIGHT'

I didn't venture too far Sunday night, but I did get out for my country road walk.  I planned on returning to my spot in a couple of hours to do some stargazing, but it wasn't to be.  I was simply too tired.  And, it doesn't look like I will be venturing very far tonight as well.  Cloudy with a few periods of drizzly rain.  Not my kind of weather for a sunset-enhanced drive through the countryside
ALMOST AT MY WALKING SPOT SUNDAY NIGHT I SPOTTED THIS DEER RUNNING ACROSS A FIELD OF BEANS
 LUCKILY I WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH TO GET STOPPED JUST AS THE DEER SLOWED DOWN TO A WALK

 THROUGH THE OPEN PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW, I CURIOUSLY WATCHED THE DEER AS IT CURIOUSLY WATCHED ME
 PERSEIVING ME AS NOT A THREAT, IT STOOD ITS GROUND
 THEN, SATISFIED I WAS NOT A THREAT, IT NONCHALANTLY WALKED SLOWLY ACROSS THE FIELD OF BEANS TOWARD A FOREST'S EDGE
 AND, WITH A LAST MY GLANCE MY WAY, IT STEPPED QUIETLY INTO THE FOREST AS WAS GONE
Another warm summer's morn, mainly cloudy, and humid, with a few traveling rain sprinkles.  Took my legs for a walk at my country road walking spot and came home.  Figured it was a good morning for cleaning Subie's interior, so out came the shop vac, and glass cleaner, etc.  With that done, I worked a bit in the back yard until the humidity finally drove me inside whereupon I threw my sorry old sack of bones into the shower to get rid of all that uncomfortable sticky past.  Rains came and went as storm cells passed through the area, bringing tornado watches and warnings.  Thunder, lightning, and a tornado that did touch down in a field near Lucan, Ontario.  Not sure what I am up to tomorrow, but I'll probably think of something by morning.  I might load my utility trailer up with some more junk and then make a delivery.  The emphasis there is on the word 'might'.

 MY ATTENTION WAS DRAWN TO THIS HERD OF CATTLE BECAUSE I SAW THIS AS AN UNUSUAL GROUPING
 THEY WERE ALL OF LIKE ONE SOUND  MIND AND BODY HEADING IN THE SAME DIRECTION
 I DIDN'T SEE A FARMER LEADING THEM, OR A DOG HERDING THEM, OR A COUPLE OF COWBOYS ON HORSEBACK RIDING HERD ON THEM, SO MAYBE THEY WERE JUST HEADING FOR THE ICE CREAM TRUCK I SAW PARKED UP NEAR THE BARN
 ALMOST AT MY WALKING SPOT
 DAY LILIES ALONGSIDE THE ROAD....NO WONDER SOME FOLKS CALL THEM DITCH LILIES
NOT SURE IF THIS IS CANOLA OR WILD MUSTARD
 A PICK-UP TRUCK TOWING A TRAVEL TRAILER WENT BY THE OTHER WAY SO I TOOK A PICTURE OF IT RECEDING IN MY OUTSIDE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR

GROANER'S CORNER:(( David had been extremely anxious for years. It got to the point where his compulsive worrying was ruining his life, so he went to a psychiatrist, who recommended that David hire a professional worrier.   After he'd been working with the specialist for a few months, David's friend John noticed a change. "What happened?" John asked. "You don't worry about anything anymore."  "I hired a professional worrier!" David answered.  "That must cost a fortune," John said.  "Yes, he charges $3,000 a month," David said sheepishly.  "Three thousand dollars! How can you ever afford to pay him?" John exclaimed.  "I don't know, I don't worry about it," David said. "That's his problem."

My wife asked me why I call her 12?  Dozen cook, dozen clean, dozen do anything...

It was dinner time on a British Airways flight from London to New York. As the flight attendant moved down the aisle, she asked one of the passengers: “Would you like dinner?”  “What are my choices?” asked the passenger.  “Yes or No,” replied the attendant.

My ex-wife and I could not reconcile our marriage because of religious differences.
She thought she was God.  I disagreed.

Two friends, Jim and Paul, are in a bank when, suddenly, armed robbers burst in.
While several of the robbers take the money from the tellers, others line the customers up against a wall and proceed to take their wallets, watches, etc.  While this is going on, Jim slips something into Paul's hand. Without looking down, Paul whispers, "What is this?" Jim replies, "It's that $50 I owe you."

  2. The up and down road would be so much fun to sled in winter when it's snow-covered. Try it this winter! :)
