SAY, YOU DON'T SUPPOSE THAT IS WHY I WASN'T ASKED TO ALONG TODAY

 I DIDN'T TAKE ANY PICTURES TODAY SO I'VE USED A FEW FILE PHOTOS

Above freezing today and at this time of year here in Southwestern Ontario, that is always worthy of note.  Our good neighbor Monica had an appointment in Goderich this morning so Lorraine, in the Subaru, drove Monica to that appointment.  I, of course, offered to drive, but was promptly turned down.  I don't think they wanted me along because they were probably thinking about going on a big shopping bender after Monica's appointment.  Well, hey...you know what women are like when they get together with some possible thoughts of shopping in the air.  Okay, okay, so they just went to Walmart for a few necessities....but shopping thoughts are shopping thoughts, and readers well know my thoughts about being dragged through stores on shopping sprees!!  Say, you don't suppose that is why I wasn't asked to go along today.........

CANADA GEESE ON THE BAYFIELD RIVER

Just think, here we are almost halfway through January, and a month from now we'll actually be over halfway through the shortest month of the year, February.  It almost conjures up thoughts of golden Daffodils, chirping Robins. and croaking Frogs.  Or not.

I think it was about 3:05 this afternoon when our power went out.  Earlier, I had seen two large Hydro (Power Company) trucks roll by outside, so my guess is that somewhere in the Park, they were doing some work, and 'Poof' the power was out.  And then 'Poof' again at 3:40 and the power was back on.  Now, wasn't that exciting:))

GROANER'S CORNER:(( An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman were trying to get in to see the Olympics without tickets. So they got to the stadium during one of the main events and discussed how they would be able to attend without paying.  The Englishman walked around the stadium and saw a pole lying on the ground and picked it up. He walked to the entrance and said, "Peter. England. Pole throwing." The guards let him in without hesitation.  While walking, the Scotsman sees a manhole. He picks up the cover, carries it under his arm to the entrance and says, "McGregor. Scotland. Discus throwing." The guards let him in also.  The Irishman is very frantic, since both his friends are now inside. He walks around the stadium and finds a roll of barbed wire. He picks it up, walks to the entrance and says, "Murphy. Ireland. Fencing."

Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?

- Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?

- Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

- Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

- When dog food has a new and improved taste, who tests it?

- You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?

- Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?

- Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

- If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

Customer: "I've been calling 700-1000 for two days and can't get through. Can you help?"
Operator: "Where did you get that number, sir?"
Customer: "It's on the door of your business."
Operator: "Sir, those are the hours that we are open."

When the waitress in a New York City restaurant brought him the soup du jour, the Englishman was a bit dismayed. "Good heavens," he said, "what is this?" "Why, it's bean soup," she replied. "I don't care what it has been," he sputtered. "What is it now?"
