Sometimes I Just Don't Get It, Do You?

From watching the news this morning, some lady was quite upset that there is too much of this on television and in the movies. Sometimes I don't hear very well


Good week in Texas and yes we did have some fun. The Texas hospitality is legendary.

My first bike, Santa brought it to me, Daddy taught me to ride it in the schoolyard by hanging on to the seat and running beside me. That is a pleasant thought isn't it? Daddy running along side of me; anyway I had to stand on the back step to throw my leg over it. I see the shed and the oil tank in the background, their back stoop became a family room much later. 
Now for the story, the bike was red, but an older member of the family, let's call him "Rave" convinced me it was his old bike by chipping enough paint off it to show me it had been blue, and indeed his bike before Santa made it at the North Pole and brought it to me at Christmas. Cynicism started early. Still, TAR has always wondered about my eclectic sense of clothing style, and in this picture you see a flap hat, a nice fashion-plate jacket (probably Dave's at some point also) and best of all.....shorts. Yes a warm coat, geek hat with flaps, and shorts. Go figure, many of you are probably thinking that another piece of the puzzle just came together. 

Cooper's Cub Scout gutter boat, very nice work and his printing is awesome 

I think this made the blog before, can't remember. Good picture of Vann Neal making stew. I just ate breakfast and now I'm salivating like Pavlov's dog


FYI, this is never a view you want to see. My ring finger went from "looks like a hangnail" to (insert lots of cursing here) THIS HURTS! Of course I was out of town in Texas so I used an Urgent Care facility for the first time. I was treated very nicely, a good experience all things considered; at least I feel that way now............check back later when I get the bill. 
Get the first joke? In town all week, leaving Saturday for HVI in Canada. 

Dueling Banjos No, the odd looking young man did not play the banjo in the movie, here is how the movie-magic people did it: Fake sleeves !!...
