Friday Funnies

Hi,
Today it was warm and windy. So windy that the trees made an eerie moaning sound. Good thing it was daytime. It would be very creepy at night.
For the record, the song was "Oooh Child" by The Five Stairsteps. That's right, another talented family of five singing their way to limited stardom and with a still active fan base. I still find it interesting that there are groups out there who have broken up years ago and people still keep up with all the members. That's very cool. I think we need a bit of a challenge for the weekend. Yes?
"__ __ __, She's got the grown up blues. Tight dress and lipstick, she's sportin' high heal shoes. Oh, but tomorrow morning, she'll have to change her trend..." Clue: An up tempo documentation of a rite of passage. (Ha) A late 50s gem by a brilliant writer/performer.
Mostly hung out at the hacienda today. Got a new remote for the front gate with much better distance response. Did the swim thing again and finding that the ambient air temps keep the water at a very nice place. If we have to add a bunch of water, it's chilly, but after a day, it's swimmable (is that a word?). We still don't know what kind of winter we'll have. We've sort of planned on it being too cold to use the pool, but one never knows.
The seasons are so different here. We're just ending the rainy season. Then it's on to winter, when it gets cool, but not much rain, then comes the HOT season. Bear in mind that it's also hot during the rainy season, but not as hot as the HOT season. See, the capital letters mean it's really hot. Now you know.
Oh, I posted some new pics of the smartest dog on our side of the river, and the first installment of some house photos that Blue took when he was here. Check out the Flickr site. There's a Google ad box on this page that's just dying to have you click on it. Come on, it's for my scholarship fund. (555)
Have a Fun WeekEnd and enjoy the 'Funnies'.

Peace,
Danny

There was an elderly man visiting a doctor for his check-up. As he was
leaving he asked the doctor if he could recommend a specialist for his
wife. "What's wrong with her?" asked the doctor. The old man explained
that her hearing was getting so bad that it was almost embarrassing.
The doctor said he knew of several specialists that could help but he
wanted the old man to do a little test when he got home to help the
doctor determine the severity of her hearing loss. The doctor said
"When you get home, make sure your wife's back is turned to you and
ask her a question. If she doesn't respond walk closer and ask her
again. Keep doing this until she answers and let me know the results".

That night when the old man opened the door of his home he could see
his wife in the kitchen preparing dinner. She was at the counter with
her back to the door. "What's for dinner?" the old man asked. His wife
did not respond so he walked to the doorway of the kitchen and asked
the question again. Still, he was greeted with silence. This time he
walked up just behind her and asked once again "What's for dinner?" His
wife spun around a bit agitated and said "For the third time, Fried
Chicken!!"
