OH DEAR, AND IT'S ONLY THE SECOND DAY OF JANUARY:((

Thanks to long-time blog reader and commenter Mr. Ed for reminding me in the Shout Box about the tech help that is offered at our very own Bayfield Library.  He even sent the Library's website link.  I am a member, but I haven't been back to the library since receiving my membership nearly a year ago.  I, of course, had forgotten about that, despite a helpful lady there a year ago now, trying her best to help me understand how Kelly's iPhone worked.  I hardly knew how to turn it on and off, and I haven't made much progress since then.  I did make an appointment for next Thursday afternoon to see if I can get some kind of help with all this miss-mosh of passwords, passcodes, verification codes, slow modes, firetoads, dusty roads, heavy loads, and blah blah blah modes!!

With a grocery list in hand, Woodsy and I did set out for Goderich earlier this afternoon,  We made it about half way before turning around and heading back home.  Despite a few patches of blue sky overhead, the strong westerly winds coming in off Lake Huron were picking up the loose snow and whipping it up into white-outs across the road.  The further north we traveled, the worse it became.  A car ahead of us made the right decision to turn around, and we did the same.  We were home ten minutes later and it continued to snow on and off for the rest of the day.  Oh Dear, and it's only the second day of January:((  

 AS VISIBILITY CONTINUED TO DETERIORATE, IT WAS ONLY ABOUT A MINUTE AFTER TAKING THIS PHOTO THAT WE TURNED AROUND

 ALTHOUGH LOOKING LIKE SOME KIND OF A LARGE MONSTER BEHIND THIS JUNCO, IT IS IN FACT A PUFFED UP MOURNING DOVE

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A cowboy, who just moved to Wyoming from Texas, walks into a bar and orders three mugs of Bud. He sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more.  The bartender approaches and tells the cowboy, "You know, a mug goes flat after I draw it.  It would taste better if you bought one at a time."  The cowboy replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in Arizona, the other is in Colorado. When we all left our home in Texas, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together. So I'm drinking one beer for each of my brothers and one for myself."  The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there.  The cowboy becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way. He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn.  One day, he comes in and only orders two mugs. All the regulars take notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss."  The cowboy looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his eyes and he laughs.  "Oh, no, everybody's just fine," he explains, "It's just that my wife and I joined the Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking."  "Hasn't affected my brothers though."

Gladys was the preacher's wife and accompanied her husband each Sunday to church. One particular Sunday when the sermon seemed to go on forever, many in the congregation fell asleep.  After the service, to be sociable, she walked up to a very sleepy-looking gentleman. In an attempt to revive him from his stupor, she extended her hand in greeting and said, "Hello, I'm Gladys Dunn."  To which the gentleman replied, "You're not the only one!"

A man and woman were having marriage problems, and decided to end their union after a very short time together. After a most brief attempt to reconcile, the couple went to court to finalize their break-up. The judge asked the husband, “What has brought you to this point, where you are not able to keep this marriage together?” The husband said, “In the six weeks we've been together, we haven't been able to agree on one thing.” The wife said, “Seven weeks.”
