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."

'BANG ZOOM' ANOTHER THOUSAND DOLLAR BILL DONE GONE!!

It was somewhere around 7:45 Wednesday evening when Lorraine drove me into Bayfield to pick up the Subaru at the Bayfield Garage.  'Bang-Zoom', another thousand-dollar bill done gone!! ($900.67) From the garage, Lorraine parked her car, hopped into the Subaru and off we went down to the beach for a walk out on the pier.  Followed that by a cruise around Bayfield.  Woodsy picked up her car and we drove on home.
 A NICE EVENING FOR A CAMPFIRE ON THE BAYFIELD BEACH
OH THE MEMORIES THIS PHOTO BRINGS BACK OF MY CHILDHOOD
 FUN TIMES ON THE WATER
FUN TIMES NOT ONLY ON THE WATER BUT IN THE WATER AS WELL
A MOTHER COUNTED TO THREE AND THESE TWO GIRLS LEAPED OFF THE PIER
 ON ANOTHER COUNT OF THREE, FOUR GIRLS RUSHED TO THE EDGE OF THE PIER BUT THREE STOPPED AND ONE DIDN'T
THIS GIVES MEANING TO THE PHRASE, 'WHY DON'T YOU GO TAKE A FLYING LEAP'
 IT'S A GOOD THING THERE IS A LADDER FOR PIER JUMPERS TO CLIMB BACK UP OUT OF THE WATER
 I THINK SUMMERS ARE MADE FOR KIDS
 KIND OF AN ODD LOOKING BIKE ON THE PIER
 FISHING FROM THE BAYFIELD PIER IS POPULAR

Another hot and humid sunny day with no rain in sight.  Things are becoming dry, and some lawns are beginning to turn a yellowish brown color.  And, with that thought in mind, I made sure to water my new grass again today.  Had myself a nice walk this morning with a refreshingly cool southeast breeze to accompany me.  Later, Lorraine and I went to Goderich.  I stayed in the car while Woodsy did some browsing and picked up a few groceries.  A usual drive down around the harbor, and that was about it for another day.  I only took two photos.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A young ventriloquist is touring Norway and puts on a show in a small fishing town. With his dummy on his knee, he starts going through his usual little moron jokes. Suddenly, one of the morons in the fourth row stands on his chair and starts shouting, 'I've heard enough of your stupid mornon jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype us.  It's men like you who keep little morons like me from being respected at work and in the community, and from reaching our full potential as people. It's people like you who make others think that all morons are dumb. You and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against morons, pathetically all in the name of humor!' The embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologize, and the little moron interrupts yelling, 'You stay out of this..I'm talking to that little jerk on your lap.'

Danny, caught off-guard, yells at his roommate, "Dude! Why are you taking a bath with the bathroom door open?"
His roommate David replies, "I'm making sure no one is looking at me through key hole.

During his physical, the doctor asked the patient about his daily activity level
He described a typical day this way: 'Well, yesterday afternoon, I waded along the edge of a lake, drank eight beers, escaped from wild dogs in the heavy brush, jumped away from an aggressive rattlesnake, marched up and down several rocky hills, stood in a patch of poison ivy, and crawled out of quicksand.' Inspired by the story, the doctor said, 'You must be one heck of an outdoor' man!' 'NAH,' he replied, 'I'm just a crappy golfer.'
