The Coffee Shop / The Snow Plow!

« on: December 13, 2011, 12:34:11 pm »

One winter morning at breakfast a couple was listening to the radio. They heard the announcer say, "We are going to have 8-10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the snowplow can get through." The wife went out and moved her car.
A week later while they are eating breakfast, the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 10-12 inches of snow today, you will need to move your car to the odd-numbered side of the street so the snowplow can get through." So the wife went out and moved her car again.
The next week, while they were eating breakfast, the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 12-14 inches of snow today and you must park..." Then the power went off! The wife was very upset. With a worried look on her face she said, "Honey, I don't know what to do. Which side of the street am I supposed to park on?"

With the love and understanding in his voice that all men who are married to blondes exhibit, her husband said, "Why don't you just leave it in the garage this time." --

The Coffee Shop / Do you read Sheila Landry's blog?...added link to blog!

« on: December 11, 2011, 12:53:29 pm »

If you don't you really should! Very nicely written and often very 'thoughtful'!

I know she doesn't mind me sharing the following with you. I have asked her before and she said so!

Here is something that she had in her blog this morning and I feel we should all read it often!

~~~~~~~

To achieve the strength we need in living, an inner life must be lived apart from the world.
To wear the whole world as a loose garment is the key to serenity.
Loosen your hold on earth, its cares and its worries.
Unclasp your hold on other people and material things.
Let go of resentments, they hurt only you, not the person, persons or institutions you resent.
Relax your grip, and the tide of peace will flow in.
Live in today, not in regrets over what happened yesterday, not in the fear and apprehension of what tomorrow may bring.

The past is gone as a cloud of dust.
Tomorrow may never come.
We are faced with living just one day TODAY.
Try to relax, rejoice, and be glad in it!

If you were "cruising" in the 50's...

How many of these can you get correct?

http://www.americantorque.com/game/car-show-50s/

Be Honest!  I got 85% and the average out of 1,780,000 players is 73%.
Of course I drove or 'cruised' in most of these fine automobiles!

Pics will be delayed a few days - have to leave town for a couple days...

Final count...529 individual cuts.  Pic of final cutting...

Thanks again Grampa Paul for such a neat pattern!

Among my friends in minor league ball the consensus is..."They can have him!" and I totally agree. That is obscene!

They will get burned by that 10 year deal.

Go watch him Dan! (But be sure to take LOTS of money to the ballpark!)
