GROANER'S CORNER:(( George W. Bush, in an airport lobby, noticed a man in a long flowing white robe with a long flowing white beard and flowing white hair.  The man had a staff in one hand and some stone tablets under the other arm. George W. approached the man and inquired, "Aren't you Moses?" The man ignored George W. and stared at the ceiling.  George W. positioned himself more directly in the man's view and asked again, "Aren't you Moses?" The man continued to peruse the ceiling. George W. tugged at the man's sleeve and asked once again, "Aren't you Moses?"  The man finally responded in an irritated voice, "YES, I AM!"  George W. asked him why he was so uppity and had taken so long to answer him.  The man replied, "The last time I spoke to a Bush I ended up stuck in a desert for forty years!

Harry and Esther are out shopping one morning when Esther says, "Darling, it's my mother's birthday tomorrow. What shall we buy for her? She said she would like something electric." Harry replies, "How about a chair?"

A passenger train is creeping along, slowly. Finally it creaks to a halt. A passenger sees a conductor walking by outside. "What's going on?" she yells out the window.

"Cow on the track!" replies the conductor.
Ten minutes later, the train resumes its slow pace. Within five minutes, however, it stops again. The woman sees the same conductor walk again. She leans out the window and yells, "What happened? Did we catch up with the cow again?"

YUP, BETTER HURRY UP WITH THAT NEW BREAKWATER, BOYS

With an orange sunrise peering through our tall pine trees, I crossed my fingers, hoping for sunny skies today.  Sometimes, crossing one's fingers doesn't work.  Now there's one of life's little mysteries that I have never been able to quite figure out as to why crossing one's fingers doesn't always work!!  I'm sure there is a plausible explanation for that somewhere.

AN ORANGE SUNRISE

THREE OF THE NEW UNITS THAT HAVE BEEN MOVED INTO OUR PARK

It was a gray, drab morning that saw me driving into Bayfield to see if I could find a few photos somewhere.  It's quite a project going on at the Bayfield Beach.  Heavy boulders have been moved into place in a line along the shoreline, and then a second line of boulders atop a high ridge of sand, has been set in place parallel to the first line of lower boulders.  There is maybe thirty or forty feet between the two walls of boulders, with the higher line of boulders being closest to the water.  It looks like it's going to be some kind of a breakwater between the lake and the land but I'm wondering why so high.  The only logic I could come up with for this is that the town's planners must have consulted a fortune teller, and she told them that 'she sees a large Tsunami in Bayfield's future.'  She could be right.  Just think, what if a large meteorite plunged into Lake Huron just a few miles offshore.  Yup, better hurry up with that new breakwater, boys.

In the RV world that Kelly and I once loved so much, we met a number of people over the years, and one of those people who stands out is no longer with us.  He passed away on January 15th, 2020.  It's hard to believe that everybody's friend and popular RV Blogger has been gone for over six years already.  I'm talking about George Yates, of course, and I mentioned George in a blog post two years ago. You can find my thoughts here at There Was Never Too Much Room Between George And His Webber BBQ

GROANER'S CORNER:: 10 Commandments of Marriage::

Commandment 1.
Marriages are made in heaven. But so again, are thunder and lightning.

Commandment 2.
If you want your spouse to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep.

Commandment 3. Marriage is grand — and divorce is at least 100 grand!

Commandment 4. Married life is very frustrating. In the first year of marriage, the man speaks, and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks, and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak, and the neighbors listen.

Commandment 5. When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: Either the car is new, or the wife is.

Commandment 6. Marriage is when a man and woman become as one; the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.

Commandment 7. Before marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about something you said. After marriage, he will fall asleep before you finish talking.

Commandment 8. Every man wants a wife who is beautiful, understanding, economical, and a good cook. But the law allows only one wife.

Commandment 9.
Every woman wants a man who is handsome, understanding, economical, and a considerate lover, but again, the law allows only one husband.

Commandment 10.
Man is incomplete until he marries. After that, he is finished.

So they can annoy blind people as well.
