January
is almost gone…..wow. Nice weather we’re having, eh? Good thing we’re tough.
What a
difference a week makes; it seemed downright balmy last week!
And
what a difference a week makes even in
Two weeks ago, when I was there for a golf weekend, the weather was perfect –
71 to 75 for a high, and sunny, with a light breeze. Could not be beat.
Then,
my good friend
auto body and restorer from West Point, experienced a completely different
weather pattern in
It was rainy and stormy, with even 75 mph winds. He was there for the famous
Barrett Jackson car expo, and the wind destroyed the tents, along with hundreds
of high-end restored cars. Yikes!
So it’s
not just our area, folks.
Thanks
much for supporting your locally owned businesses, and ours in particular.
Without you we are nothing.

From
a British friend.... Terrorist Escalation
The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and
have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved."
Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated"
or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit
Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out.
Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody
Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance"
warning level was in 1588 when threatened by the Spanish Armada.
The Scots raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's
Get the Bastards". They don't have any other levels. This is the reason
they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last
300 years.
The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert
level from "Run" to "Hide". The only two higher levels in
are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was
precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed
effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.
It's not only the French who are on a heightened level of alert.
has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to
"Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain:
"Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."
The Germans also increased their alert state from "Disdainful
Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They
also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and
"Lose".
Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual, and the only threat
they are worried about is NATO pulling out of
The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These
beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a
really good look at the old Spanish navy.
Americans meanwhile are carrying out pre-emptive strikes on all of their allies
'just in case'.
doesn't have any alert levels.
And in the southern hemisphere...
has also raised its security levels - from "baaa"
to "BAAAA". Due to continuing defence cutbacks (the air force
being a squadron of spotty teenagers flying paper airplanes and the navy some
toy boats in the Prime Minister's bath), New Zealand only has one more level of
escalation, which is "I hope Australia will come and rescue us".
, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to
"She'll be al'right, mate." Three more escalation levels remain:
"Crikey!", "I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this
weekend" and "The barbie is cancelled". So far, no situation has
ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

The Dark Side of Women
A woman was in town
on a shopping trip. She began her day by finding the most perfect shoes in the
first shop and a beautiful dress on sale in the second. In the third,
everything had just been reduced by 50 percent when her mobile phone rang.
It was a female
doctor notifying her that her husband had just been in a terrible car accident
and was in critical condition in the ICU. The woman told the doctor to inform
her husband where she was and that she'd be there as soon as possible.
As she hung up she
realized she was leaving what was shaping up to be her best day ever in the
boutiques. She decided to get in a
couple more shops before heading to the hospital. She ended up shopping the rest of the
morning, finishing her trip with a cup of coffee and a beautiful chocolate cake
slice, compliments of the last shop. She
was jubilant.
Then she remembered
her husband. Feeling guilty, she dashed
to the hospital. She saw the woman doctor in the corridor and asked about her husband's
condition. The doctor glared at her and shouted, "You went ahead and
finished your shopping trip, didn't you!?
I hope you're proud of yourself!
While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself in town,
your husband has been languishing in the Intensive Care Unit! It's just as well
you went ahead and finished, because it will more than likely be the last
shopping trip you ever take! For the
rest of his life he will require round-the-clock care. And he will now be your
career!"
The woman, overcome
with guilt, broke down and sobbed.
The woman doctor
chuckled and said, "I'm just messing with you. He's dead. Show me what you
bought."

Have you ever told a white lie?
You are going to love this, especially all of the ladies who bake for church
events: Alice Grayson was to bake a cake
for her Church's Ladies' Group in
morning of the bake sale and after
rummaging through cabinets, found an angel food cake
mix & quickly made it while drying her hair, dressing, and helping her son pack up for Scout camp.
When she took the cake
from the oven, the center had dropped flat and the cake
was horribly disfigured and she exclaimed, "Oh dear, there is not time to bake another cake!" This cake was
important to
in her new community of friends.
So, being inventive, she looked
around the house for something to build up the center of
The cake.. She found it in the bathroom - a roll of toilet paper. She
plunked it in and then covered it
with icing. Not only did the finished product look beautiful, it looked perfect. And, before she left the house to drop the
cake by the church and head for work,
and gave her some money and specific instructions to be at
the bake sale the moment it opened at 9:30 and to buy the cake
and bring it home.
When the daughter arrived at the sale, she found the attractive, perfect
cake had already been sold.
Amanda grabbed her cell phone & called her mom.
know! What would they think? She would be
ostracized, talked about, ridiculed!
All night,
thinking about people pointing fingers at
her and talking about her behind her back.
The next day,
would try not to think about
the cake and would
attend the fancy luncheon/bridal shower at the home of a fellow church member and try to have a good time.
She did not really want to attend because the hostess was a snob who
more than once had looked down her nose at
the fact that
but having already RSVP'd, she couldn't think of a
believable excuse to stay
home...
The meal was elegant, the company was definitely upper crust old south and to
was presented for dessert!
body when she saw the cake! She started
out of her chair to tell the hostess all about it, but before she could get to her feet, the Mayor's
wife said, "what a beautiful cake!"
still stunned, sat back in her chair when she heard the hostess (who was a prominent church
member) say, "Thank you, I baked it myself."
