AND, IT WAS ON TIME TOO

 SATURDAY NIGHT'S STURGEON MOON TAKEN THROUGH A HAZY CLOUD COVER...THE MOON APPEARED A CHEESY, BURNT ORANGE IN THE HEAVY ATMOSPHERE, BUT I SHOW IT HERE IN BLACK AND WHITE FOR CLARITY

Another hot and humid day.  We again hit 90F.  Spent most of my time inside, enjoying the coolness of central air conditioning.  I did get out for a short country road drive this morning, and with front windows down and the sunroof open, I could hear Crickets in the ditches and Cicadas in the trees as I slowly ambled my way along the dusty, gravel road.  Another hot day tomorrow..........Saturday night, Woodsy and I took a drive into and around Bayfield, and then headed off out into the countryside to a high spot on Tower Hill Road to watch the full Moon rise at 9:08 p.m.  And, it was on time too.

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.
