A BURGUNDY COLORED VAN PICKED ME UP THIS MORNING AND WHISKED ME AWAY

The burgundy van with dark tinted windows rolled slowly around the corner and pulled into our driveway.  I exited the house, walked to the van, opened the passenger door and got in.  Yep, Richard and I were off on another one of our Thursday morning coffee tours.  It was our second one of the year.

Oh how nice to see water dripping off our roof again as today’s sunshine melted yesterday’s snow.  Spring is sure taking it’s time again this year but we’re happy for every little inch of progress it makes.

A FEW STRUGGLING SIGNS OF SPRING

I have had Facebook for a bunch of years now & have become very resistant to all it's games, add on's, & numerous requests for this, that, & the other thing.  I don't join any groups, sign any petitions, buy any farms or cattle, I don’t share or forward anything or do whatever they do on all those silly Farmsville, Fruitcrush, Wonky Birds, Yoville, or Hooterville places, or whatever Ville lands on my desktop.  I'm not into joining political or religious groups or save the Alaskan Hippos groups.  I don't care if Rhinosaucerouses can't lay eggs & I don't have to have bouquets of flowers sent to me because it was my sister's uncle's great grandfather's nude birthday 6 weeks ago.  No, I am not an instant winner of anything & no, I do not believe I am from the planet Cyberschnozz.  So ,when any of this stuff pops up on my Facebook page I quickly dispatch it.  That is whenever I happen to look at my Facebook page.  I’m not FB junkie and it’s not my favorite thing.  Sometimes something might come along that is real & of importance but it seems my internet mind has become irreversibly numbed to the realities of reality itself.  I do have to thank Facebook though for totally verifying the indisputable fact we humanoids are undoubtedly the most gullible creatures on the Planet and perhaps the whole entire Universe itself.  Of course it’s not just Facebook that makes me think that………………………

   

THESE ARE THE LAST OF WEDNESDAY’S BLACK CAPPED CHICKADEE PHOTOS

GROANER’S CORNER:(( "I had the toughest time of my life. First, I got angina pectoris and then arteriosclerosis. Just as I was recovering from these, I got tuberculosis, double pneumonia and phthisis. Then they gave me hypodermics. Appendicitis was followed by tonsillectomy.   These gave way to aphasia and hypertrophic cirrhosis. I completely lost my memory for a while. I know I had diabetes and acute ingestion, besides gastritis, rheumatism, lumbago and neuritis.   I don't know how I pulled through it.... It was the hardest spelling test I've ever had."

Trying to control her frizzy and dry hair, Kay treated her scalp with olive oil before washing it. Worried that the oil might leave an odor she washed her hair several times with strong soap.  That night when Kay went to bed, she leaned over to her husband and asked, "Do I smell like olive oil?"  "Why ?" he asked, pulling back. "Do I smell like Popeye?"
