| PERIWINKLE POKES THROUGH THE SNOW IN OUR FRONT YARD |
An orange sunrise lifted my spirits. It usually does. No snow overnight added to the start of my day. By the way, yesterday I shoveled the whole driveway. Luckily, the snow was only about 3 inches deep, but it was just enough to give me some much-needed exercise. My intention was to fire up Subie and take myself for a drive around the snowy countryside to see if I could find a few pics. For whatever reason, the farthest I got was a walk around the yard later in the afternoon. Anyway, I did find a few pics.

Thanks to a couple of readers for sending the links to a few websites that talk about the wheel bearing problems in the Subarus. And here I thought I was the only one. Not so!! I can look at this in two ways....Positively, that the previous owner had already replaced two of the four wheels, or Negatively, that I have replaced two and I have two to go:(( I had better get a job and try to set aside an extra thousand dollars for two more wheel bearing repairs.....just in case.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A guy who had forgotten the dates for a number of his friends' and relatives' birthdays and anniversaries decided to compile a list on the computer and have the dates highlighted on screen when the machine was turned on. He went to a number of computer stores to find a software program that would do the job but had no luck at the first few. Finally, he found one where the clerk seemed experienced. "Can you recommend something that will remind me of birthdays and anniversaries?" the guy asked. "Have you tried a wife?" the clerk responded.

The Teacher had asked the class to write an essay about an unusual event that happened during the past week. Little Johnny got up to read his. It began, "My daddy fell into the well last week.""Good Lord!" the teacher exclaimed. "Is he OK?"
"He must be," said Little Johnny. "He stopped calling for help yesterday."

Linda was with her mother while her older sister was being examined by a dentist. Linda kept herself busy playing with toys in the waiting room until she noticed that her mom was resting, her eyes closed. With about six other patients waiting, Linda marched up to her mother, looked her straight in the face, and shook her shoulder.
"Mommy," she yelled, "wake up! This is not church!"
