I WAS THE STAND-BY DRIVER IN CASE OF BAD WEATHER

 BLUE JAY

The predicted overnight snow squalls never materialized and it was only a dusting of snow we had.  Of course, I had to go out and re-arrange some of it a bit.  I like to keep the snow beneath the birdfeeders clear so the ground feeding birds like the Juncos can easily find the seeds I scatter about there.  Easier for the Squirrels and Bunnies as well.

Not a long Jeep ride this morning and it was basically into Bayfield and back.  I wanted to watch the Inauguration happenings south of the border.  Normally I don't pay a whole lot of attention to ceremonial things but I felt what took place this morning was special.  And especially historical under the conditions.  All the very best to you America:))

Our neighbor Monica had an early afternoon medical appointment in Stratford today and with our weather being surprisingly better than we expected, Kelly drove her there.  I was the stand-by driver in case the weather had been bad and we needed to take the Jeep.  They were home again about 3:30.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( We got lucky when we heard the old Piedmont Hotel in Atlanta was getting a face-lift and its beautiful maple doors became available for sale as salvage items. We bought several and had them installed in our 19th-century home.  Showing a friend around the house, I pointed out, "You know, these doors are from the Piedmont Hotel."  He raised an eyebrow. "Most people just take the towels."

Q: How do you confuse an intelligent person?
A: Put them in a round room and tell them to stand in the corner.

Late one night at the insane asylum, an inmate shouted, "I am Napoleon!" Another inmate asked, "How do you know?" "God told me!" A voice from another room suddenly shouted, "I did not!"
