THANKS TO READERS FOR YOUR THOUGHTS, SUGGESTIONS, IDEAS, AND CONCERNS

HOSTAS HAVE TURNED YELLOW

Waking up with a less congested mind started my day off on an evener keel and I was able to keep my thoughts from speculating me too far off into the future again like they did Thursday.  This transition we are going through is much easier for Kelly than it is me.  I’ve always been the ‘Gung-ho let’s go’ guy in our RV team and when operating as a team, as all RV’ers know, it’s important both parties are agreeably on the same page.  For the most part I think we are.  Well most of the time anyway.  Thanks to readers for your thoughts, suggestions, ideas, and concerns.  And yes there were definitely some interesting suggestions in there…………….

Fortunately, overnight rains ended before Pheebs and I headed out the door.  Our morning travels took us to Goderich and back and that was about it.

With a few splashes of sunshine coaxing me out of the house this afternoon Pheebs and I did take ourselves for a walk around the Park’s pine tree trail.

GROANER’S CORNER:(( The tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed on from generation to generation, says that "When you discover that you are riding a dead horse,the best strategy is to dismount.  "However, in government more advanced strategies are often employed, such as:

1. Buying a stronger whip.

2. Changing riders.

3. Appointing a committee to study the horse.

4. Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride dead horses.

5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.

6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living-impaired.

7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.

8. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.

9. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase the dead horse's performance.

10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve thedead horse's performance.

11. Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower overhead and therefore contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the economy than do some other horses.

12. Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses.And, of course,

13. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position

  1. Even though I know the cold and snow will be a challenge, I am somewhat excited to see how you handle the winter scenes photographically. I bet many of the pictures will be spectacular and definitely worth viewing.

  2. Since you love animals so much is there a animal rescue in the area that would welcome your companionship and volunteer help? How about at the local library? You need to fill in the time of the long days in some way.

  3. When we are in relationship with another, our dreams and wants are sometimes sacrificed or compromised. That is the downside of love. The upside is a wonderful daily companion to share our life with. The challenge is can we accept compromises and still be happy? What a dilemma life is.

    Amazing colors as the leaves lose their colors. Your photos are like beautiful paintings. How can one tree be so yellow, another so green and another so red! What a colorful juxtaposition.
