FOURTEEN YEARS AGO TODAY WE BROUGHT PHEEBS HOME

I didn't get around to taking any photos today, and I'm not feeling too wordy tonight.  But, I will tell you this.....It was 14 years ago today that Kelly, Cora, and I first met Pheebs in Zurich Ontario, and brought her home:))))) The Day We Brought Pheebs Home

GROANER'S CORNER:(( The European Union commissioners have announced that an agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European communications, rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, the British government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five year phased plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for short). In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c". Sertainly, sivil servants will reseive this news with joy.  Also, the hard "c" will be replaced with "k". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less letter.  There will be growing public enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replased by "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20 persent shorter. In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent "e"s in the language is disgrasful, and they would go. By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" by "z" and "w" by "v". During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou", and similar changes vud, of kors, be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.

 nd efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German lik zey vunted in ze forst plas.

One morning a man came into the church on crutches. He stopped in front of the holy water, put some on both legs, and then threw away his crutches. An altar boy witnessed the scene and then ran into the rectory to tell the priest what he'd just seen.

"Son, you've just witnessed a miracle!" the priest said. "Tell me, where is this man now?" "Flat on his ass over by the holy water!" the boy informed him.

AND THEN YOU BE THE JUDGE

WOODSY AND I WENT FOR A THURSDAY EVENING WALK IN THE BAYFIELD CEMETERY

With a warm summer's early morning south wind at my back, and walking north on my gravel road, I had that very same warm southern wind on my front, returning to the car.  Some walks are just extra special.  

 AN AREA FARMER SCUFFLING UP HIS HARVESTED WHEAT FIELD FOLLOWED BY A WHOLE HERD OF SEA GULLS

 THAT'S QUITE A SCUFFLE MACHINE

 WHILE OUT OF THE CAR TO TAKE A PHOTO, I SPOTTED THIS COYOTE SLINKING ACROSS THE ROAD A FEW  HUNDRED YARDS BACK DOWN THE ROAD

 IT DIDN'T SEE ME RIGHT AWAY

 BUT THEN IT DID

 AND QUICKLY SLIPPED AWAY THROUGH THE GRASS

Changing things up a bit today, and ever conscious of good health, Lorraine suggested that on the days she is here, we should try to get into the habit of having the day's main meal at lunch time instead of supper time later in the day.  I thought that a good idea, so not long after high noon, we had roast beef, potatoes, mushrooms, peas, and carrots done in the slow cooker.  Yummy.  We'll see if this new habit continues.

Long-time readers will know of my keen interest in the Skinwalker Ranch TV series that will begin season 5 next month.  Being a stickler for reality-based information, this show grabbed my attention right from the beginning a few years ago and continues to do so.  If anyone is interested in knowing what it is all about and what is going on at the Skinwalker Ranch in Utah, I strongly suggest you watch this interesting interview with Ross Coulthard and the ranch's current owner, Brian Fugal.  It's a lengthy interview, but an honest and revealing one.  Watch the video til the end, and then you be the judge as to what is happening at this strange ranch.  Reality Check - Skinwalker Ranch

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A kindergarten teacher handed out a coloring page to her class. On it was a picture of a duck holding an umbrella. The teacher told her class to color the duck in yellow and the umbrella green, however, Bobby, the class rebel, colored the duck in a bright fire truck red. After seeing this, the teacher asked him: "Bobby, how many times have you seen a red duck?" Young Bobby replied with "The same number of times I've seen a duck holding an umbrella."

In the supermarket was a man pushing a cart which contained a screaming, bellowing baby. The gentleman kept repeating softly, "Don't get excited, Albert; don't scream, Albert; don't yell, Albert; keep calm, Albert." A woman standing next to him said, "You certainly are to be commended for trying to soothe your son, Albert." The man looked at her and said, "Lady, I'm Albert."
