NEITHER ONE OF THEM HAD GOTTEN THEMSELVES INTO ANY KIND OF SERIOUS TROUBLE

WHILE MOMS ON THE PHONE, HER DAUGHTER IS DOING THE BOOGALOO ON BAYFIELD'S NORTH PIER SUNDAY NIGHT

A sunny, hot and humid start to the day, but that's okay because sometimes we like it that way.  Oh really!!  Lorraine and I spent a nice Sunday evening in Bayfield and fell right dagnabbit back into our ice cream routine.  Oh well, what's a gain of 50 pounds here or there amongst friends eh.  A walk out onto Bayfield's south pier at sunset, and a nice leisurely cruise around Bayfield's cozy tree-lined streets, topped off the day.

With Subie needing gas, I slipped into Bayfield this morning and topped up the tank.  A drive down around both the south and north sides of the Bayfield River at the harbor netted me a few boat photos.  Something different for a change instead of cows, farm machinery, and wheat fields.

 SUNDAY NIGHT WE NOTICED THE PEOPLE ON THIS BOAT HAVING A CAMPFIRE RIGHT ON THE BOAT'S REAR DECK

A CATAMARAN 

Home again, Woodsy (Lorraine) took the Subaru, picked up our good neighbor Monica, and drove her to an eye appointment in Clinton.  It wasn't long before they were back, and neither one of them had gotten themselves into any kind of serious trouble.

 IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN I WALKED OUT SUNDAY MORNING AND SAW ALL THIS GRASS GROWING ALREADY

With the temperature hovering around 90F with humidity to match, there was no going outside for this guy today so I settled into my comfy sunroom recliner with my Kindle and continued reading my latest book, Afterlife Preview by Stephan Hauley Martin.  I've just started this book and I agree with what I am reading.  I have read many books on this subject over the past few years, and this book kind of wraps all those books up in a short summary.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( For a couple of years, I've been blaming it on a lack of sleep and too much pressure from my job, but now I found out the real reason: I'm tired because I'm overworked. The population of this country is 237 million. 104 million are retired. That leaves 133 million to do the work. There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do the work. Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government, leaving 19 million to do the work. 2.8 million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 16.2 million to do the work. Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who work for State and City Governments, and that leaves 1.4 million to do the work. At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals, leaving 1,212,000 to do the work. Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons. That leaves just two people to do the work. You and me. And you're sitting at your computer reading jokes.

I need to re-home a dog.  It's a small terrier and tends to bark a lot.  If you're interested, let me know and I'll climb over my neighbor's fence and get it for you.

Answering Machine Message sung to the tune of
"Camptown Races"::
I can't come to the telephone; doo-dah, doo-dah.
Leave your message when you hear the tone; oh, de doo-dah day.  Might be gone all night... Might be gone all day...So leave a message when you hear the tone...And I might call you back someday...

A man takes his place in the theater, but his seat is too far from the stage.  He whispers to the usher, "This is a mystery, and I have to watch a mystery close up. Get me a better seat, and I'll give you a handsome tip."  The usher moves him into the second row, and the man hands the usher a quarter. The usher looks at the quarter, leans over, and whispers, "The wife did it."

'YAY TEAM' IT'S GREAT TO SEE HER:))

With my weather station showing humidity at 99% at 8 o'clock this morning, I wasn't too keen on heading outside.  But, I did anyway, and by 10:30 I was at my country road walking spot.  It was okay as long as the sun stayed behind the clouds, but every time it came out, 'yeouch'.  Not wanting to get all sticky and stuff, I took my camera along on my walk.  Without a camera along, I have a tendency to walk faster, and in this humidity, I wanted to keep my walk down to a slow photo amble.

 MOST OF THE DAY'S PHOTOS WERE TAKEN ALONGSIDE MY COUNTRY ROAD WALKING SPOT THIS MORNING

A tornado definitely touched down near Holmesville last night and also at the Shelter Valley Campground between Goderich and Clinton.  No reported injuries and the damage in the Park was not severe. 

 TORNADO TOUCHDOWN NEAR HOLMESVILLE

Home again, I busied myself cleaning up a few things and getting the dishes washed up.  There weren't many, but I washed them anyway.  It was ?? when Lorraine (Woodsy) rolled into the driveway.  'Yay Team', it was great to see her.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( There was a little boy named Johnny who used to hang out at the local corner market. The owner didn't know what Johnny's problem was, but the boys would constantly tease him. They would always comment that he was two bricks shy of a load, or two pickles short of a barrel. To prove it, sometimes they would offer Johnny his choice between a nickel (5 cents) and a dime (10 cents) and John would always take the nickel -- they said, because it was bigger. One day after John grabbed the nickel, the store owner took him aside and said, "Johnny, those boys are making fun of you. They think you don't know the dime is worth more than the nickel. Are you grabbing the nickel because it's bigger or what?" Slowly, Johnny turned toward the store owner and a big grin appeared on his face and Johnny said, "Well, if I took the dime, they'd stop doing it, and so far I've saved $20!"

- Welcome to eternity... will that be smoking or non-smoking?
- As long as there are tests, there will be prayer in school.
- O Lord, Save Me From Your followers
- Don't drive faster than your guardian angel can fly.

- My home church welcomes all denominations, but really prefers tens and twenties.

A priest was sent to a very small church in the backwoods of Alaska. After a couple of years, the Bishop decided to pay the priest a visit to see how he was doing. The priest said that it was a really lonely job and that he didn't think that he could have made it without his Rosary and two martinis each day. With that, the priest said to the Bishop, "Would you like to have a martini with me?" The Bishop said, "Yes, that would be nice." The priest turned around and hollered toward the kitchen, "Rosary, would you fix us two martinis please?"
