Wouldn't you know it

Ha, got the picture of the log bridge to load this morning. Click on it to make it bigger.

The National Park Service is wanting to close down our natural springs that many of us enjoy so much. Or so I’ve heard. It can’t be costing them much to keep that trail open, they are just plain getting cheap and don’t want to provide services to us that don’t make them money. What they do with the taxpayers money I don’t know.

Then last evening Helen called me to tell me that a man had drowned there. I did see a strange acting man there yesterday so I assumed that it might have been him. But it turns out that it was at Sol Duc Hot Springs, a commercial resort further West. The pools I go to are pretty small, it would be pretty hard to drown there, unless you wanted to. Or maybe stay in one too long and get heat stroke or something. If they close them I will just put in a hot tub, but still go for hikes in the park to get out of town.

Meldonna ….. New Orleans is just a party town with a large population of dead beats. It’s only real function of any value is as a port. But like a man told me, move the town to higher ground, and have a rail and bus link to the port and let nature have the rest of it back. Something that logical makes sense to me.

Seattle is cool, if you can take big towns, I liked it when I lived there, but I was young and resilient back then. Come to think of it, I was also pretty damn stupid. And I’m still just a country hick. Seattle has lots of interesting things, but it doesn’t mean that I have to experience them anymore. And the traffic here is getting bad enough.

How about jokes
A good looking biker stops by the Harley shop to have his bike fixed. They couldn't do it while he waited, so he said he didn't live far and would just walk home.
On the way home, he stopped at the hardware store and bought a bucket and an anvil. Next, he stopped by the feed store and picked up a couple of chickens and a goose. However, he now had a problem, how to carry all of his purchases home.
The owner said, "Put the anvil in the bucket, carry the bucket in one hand, put a chicken under each arm and carry the goose in your other hand."
"Hey, thanks!" the biker said, and out the door he went.
But in the parking lot, he was approached by a little old lady who told him she was lost. She asked, "Can you tell me how to get to 1603 Mockingbird Lane?"
The biker said, "Well, as a matter of fact, I live at 1616 Mockingbird Lane. Let's take my short cut and go down this alley. We'll be there in no time."
The little old lady looked him over cautiously, then said, "I am a lonely widow without a husband to defend me. How do I know that when we get in the alley you won't hold me against the wall, pull up my skirt, and ravish me?"
The biker said, "Holy smokes, Lady! I'm carrying a bucket, an anvil, two chickens, and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold you up against the wall and do that?"
The lady said, "Silly! Just set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the anvil on top of the bucket, and I'll hold the chickens."

Cute little stories
In the small, family-owned electronics store in Spokane, Wash., where I work, we often get folks from out of town whose idioms are a little different from our own. One day, after parking her car across the street in an attended lot, a young woman came in. She made her purchase and then asked, "Do you give validation?" Without batting an eye, my manager replied, "You are an excellent person, and I love your hair."

A fisherman accidentally left his day's catch under the seat of a bus. The next evening's newspaper carried an ad: "If the person who left a bucket of fish on the No.47 bus would care to come to the garage, you can have the bus."

Stella !!! Where are you? Give us a break from M. D. He’s become a blathering fool.
