IT WAS SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO TONIGHT

Woke up to a continuing cold rain this morning and had it not been for my very best furry little Pal pushing me out the door a couple hours later I might have just stayed in my recliner and pulled a blanket over my head.  As it was we did make it up to Goderich and back and if this rain doesn't stop soon it won't be an RV we're looking for, it will be a boat.  Here is a weather statement issued for our area tonight::  Periods of rain changing to flurries after midnight. Periods of rain along the lakeshore overnight. Local snowfall amount 2 cm over higher terrain. Wind becoming southwest 30 km/h gusting to 60 early this evening then west 50 gusting to 80 this evening. Low plus 1.

LOOKS LIKE KELLY, HER MOTHER AND SISTER ARE HAVING THEMSELVES A BLAST DOWN THERE IN THAT NEW YORK STATE PLACE

Our cold rainy weather tonight takes me back 17 years.  It was a dark and cold rainy night about 6 p.m. in 2002 when Kelly, our dog Max and I left the old farmhouse near Fullarton Ontario for the final time moving the last of our possessions to where we live now just outside Bayfield Ontario.  Kelly in her little dark green Mazda 323 with a load of stuff and Max and I in our big burgundy Dodge Ram pick-up truck loaded to the hilts with even more stuff.  Luckily the truck had a topper on the back to keep things dry.  We were sure glad to finally be moving into our very own place after 7 years in the old rented tumble down farmhouse.  

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Did you hear that the Governors mansion in Alabama burned down? Almost took out the whole trailer park.

Visiting the modern art museum, a lady turned to an attendant standing nearby. "This," she said, "I suppose, is one of those hideous representations you call modern art?" "No, Madam," replied the attendant. "That one's called a mirror."
