I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT SOMETHING

 DARK MORNING SKIES HANG OVER A ROADSIDE BEANFIELD

Just think, a month from now we'll be at the end of the first month in October already, and well on our way to November.  And, we all know what drudgery comes after that.  Not the nicest way to start my post off today, but the thought just kind of popped out of me.  Maybe that's part of why I felt a touch of sadness this morning while out walking.  But, not to worry.....there will be better days ahead, and that is a guarantee:))

 ROADSIDE WILDFLOWERS

With the carport storage area gathering summer's clutter, I figured it was about time I cleaned this up. So, I took some of that time early this afternoon and reorganized the clutter until next time.

I am not happy about something that has been happening here!!!! Over the past week or so, I've noticed a decline in our Chipmunk population.  I think there may be only two left.  And the reason for this is clear.  I have seen a dark gray/black cat hanging around the property, and it is no doubt responsible for the decimation of the Chipmunks.  It's either a feral cat or a neighbor's cat again.  This has happened before.  I like cats, but not when they are killing my Chipmunks!!

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 dumb blonde jokes. Suddenly, a blonde woman in the fourth row stands on her chair and starts shouting, 'I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype Norwegian blonde women that way? What does the color of a woman's hair have to do with her worth as a human being? It's men like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community, and from reaching our full potential as people. Its people like you that make others think that all blondes are dumb. You and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only blondes but women in general, pathetically all in the name of humor!'  The embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologize, and the blonde interrupts yelling, 'You stay out of this..I'm talking to that little jerk on your knee.'

A young man approached his family physician and said, "Doc, I'm afraid you'll have to remove my wife's tonsils one of these days." "My good man," replied the doctor, "I removed them six years ago. Did you ever hear of a woman having two sets of tonsils?" "No," the husband retorted, "but you've heard of a man having two wives, haven't you?"

-----------------------------

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 hell of an outdoors man!' 'NAH,' he replied, 'I'm just a crappy golfer.'

SHE ALWAYS ENJOYS GETTING OUT AND SEEING THINGS

A gentle rain came quietly in the night, leaving us with a slightly sultry overcast day, and that was okay.  The first 'sun pop' happened at 11.a.m., followed by another one an hour later.  From there, the day just got sunnier....and humid.

Woodsie rolled in late Wednesday afternoon, and she soon had some chicken/ceaser salad wraps going on..........Neighbor Monica had a medical appointment in Zurich early this afternoon, so I picked her up and drove her there.  Monica had never been to Jerry Rader's Homestyle before, so before leaving Zurich after her appointment, we popped in for a browse.  She picked up a number of things in the frozen food section.  On the way home, we swung through Bayfield for a little drive around because Monica seldom gets into Bayfield anymore.  She always enjoys getting out and seeing things, and especially the countryside with all of its colorful fields and picturesque farms.  The sunny afternoon just added to all the beauty.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A man walks into a store and he saw a thermos. The clerk walks up to him and asks, "May I help you with anything?"  "Yea! What is that?" "Why that's a thermos!" "What's it do?" "It keeps things hot and it keeps things cold!" "I'll take it"
The next day the man goes to work carrying this new thermos. His co-workers ask him, "What's that!" "It's a thermos" "What's it do?" "It keeps things hot, and it keeps things cold!" "So whatcha got in it?"  "Two popsicles and a cup of coffee."

On the first day of school, Peter handed his new teacher a note from his mother. The teacher unsealed the note, read it, looked at Peter with a frown, and placed the note inside a desk drawer. “So what did she write?” Peter asked. “It’s a disclaimer.”
“A what?” “It says, ‘ Any opinions expressed by Peter are not necessarily those of his mother or father,’”

The vampire responds, "I vould like some blood." The waitress turns to the third vampire and asks what he would like. The vampire responds, "I vould like some plasma." The waitress looks up and says, "Let me see if I have this order correct. You want two bloods and a blood light?"
