HMMMMM, I WONDER WHAT MY EXCUSES WILL BE TOMORROW

Pheebs reminded me this morning that we were getting low on doggy treats and that we had better get ourselves up to Pet Value in Goderich right quick to get some more.  Well, I'm never one to disagree with Pheebs, so it was off to Goderich under cloudy skies the two of us went.

A COOL MORNINGS DRIVE TO GODERICH

Again, nothing out of the ordinary in Goderich today.  Same old, McDs, harbor/beach, Walmart, Pet Value, and home with a few pics along the way.

 MORNING EXERCISES FOR THIS FELLOW AT ROTARY COVE

I guess my excuse for staying inside today was the cold wind.  Or wait, maybe it was the mostly cloudy sky.  Okay, I was too tired.  Or, was it that I just didn't feel like going outside.  Maybe I wasn't feeling good.  No, it wasn't that one.  Could it be that it was all of them.....except not the not feeling-good one.  Sometimes I think I'm not sure what feeling good actually feels like.  Or, maybe I do and don't know that I do.  Say, you don't suppose I'm getting older and nobody's told me.  Told me what??  I don't know.  Hmmm, I wonder what my excuses will be tomorrow.............Goodnight:((

Al's Music Box:)) The Devil Went Down To Georgia is a song written and recorded by the American music group the Charlie Daniels Band and released on their 1979 album 'Million Mile Reflections'.  Daniels was inspired to write the song when he realized that the album he and his band were recording was lacking a song that featured a fiddle. He wrote the song on the spot at the Woodland Sound Studios where the band was recording.  The song tells a story about the Devil's failure to gain a young man's soul through a fiddle-playing contest. The song begins as a disappointed Devil arrives in Georgia, apparently "way behind" on stealing souls, when he comes upon a young man named Johnny who is playing a fiddle, and quite well. Out of desperation, the Devil, who claims to also be a fiddle player, wagers a fiddle of gold against Johnny's soul to see who is the better fiddler. Although Johnny believes taking the Devil's bet might be a sin, he fearlessly accepts, confidently boasting "I'm the best that's ever been."  The Devil plays first, backed by a band of demon musicians. When he has finished, Johnny compliments him ("Well, you're pretty good, old son.") and takes his own turn, rendering at least four old-time songs, named (though not played) in the Charlie Daniels Band recording—the third of the four being identified not by title, but by an excerpt of its lyrics: "Fire on the Mountain," the name of an early 19th-century fiddle tune, and also the name of Daniels' 1974 album, "The House of the Rising Sun," a traditional American southern folk song, "Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough," which was famously used in Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys song 'Ida Red'," and "Granny Will Your Dog Bite."  Realizing he has been defeated, the Devil lays his golden fiddle at Johnny's feet. Johnny then invites the Devil to "c'mon back if y'ever wanna try again" before repeating his claim to be "the best that's ever been".  Cash Box praised the "engaging narrative storyline" and said the song has "thundering piano", "screaming fiddle work", "pounding drums, and screeching guitar".  Record World said that Daniels "administers heavy doses of both [storytelling and fiddle-playing] with producer John Boylan capturing the excitement like no one else can."

GROANER'S CORNER:(( An irate woman burst into the baker's shop and said, " I sent my son in for two pounds of cookies this morning, but when I weighed them there was only one pound. I suggest that you check your scales." The baker looked at her calmly for a moment or two and then replied, "  "Ma'am, I suggest you weigh your son."

Two young men were out in the woods on a camping trip, when the came upon this great trout brook. They stayed there all day, enjoying the fishing, which was super.  At the end of the day, knowing that they would be graduating from college soon, they vowed that they would meet, in twenty years, at the same place and renew the experience.  Twenty years later, they met and traveled to a spot near where they had been years before. They walked into the woods and before long came upon a brook. One of the men said to the other, "This is the place!".  The other replied, "No, it's not!".  The first man said, "Yes, I do recognize the clover growing on the bank on the other side.  To which the other man replied, "Silly, you can't tell a brook by its clover."
