HOW COULD THAT BIG WIND GET STOPPED SO FAST??

It was as if someone flicked a switch and turned off the wind.  After high winds Tuesday and wind warnings issued overnight with power crews standing by, there was almost a dead calm to the air this morning when I looked out the window.  It struck me as the oddest thing.  How could that big wind get stopped so fast and where do big winds go when they go away??

Al's Music Box:))  Woodstock is a song written by Canadian-American singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell.  At least four notable versions of the song were released in the same year, 1970. Mitchell's own version was first performed live in 1969 and appeared in April 1970 on her album Ladies of the Canyon and as the B-side to her single "Big Yellow Taxi".  The song's lyrics refer to the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival of 1969, telling the story of a concert-goer on a trek to attend the festival. Mitchell, who was unable to actually perform at the festival herself due to scheduling conflicts, was inspired to write the song based on an account of the festival relayed to her by then-boyfriend Graham Nash, who had performed there. The anthemic song, as well as the festival it commemorates, is symbolic of the counter culture of the 1960s.  She composed the song in a hotel room in New York City, watching televised reports of the festival. "The deprivation of not being able to go provided me with an intense angle on Woodstock," she told an interviewer shortly after the event.  David Crosby, interviewed for the documentary Joni Mitchell: Woman of Heart and Mind, stated that Mitchell had captured the feeling and importance of the Woodstock festival better than anyone who had actually been there.

GROANER'S CORNER:((  After a particularly poor game of golf, a popular club member skipped the clubhouse and started to go home. As he was walking to the parking lot to get his car, a policeman stopped him and asked, "Did you tee off on the sixteenth hole about 20 minutes ago?"  "Yes," the golfer responded.  "Did you happen to hook your ball so that it went over the trees and off the course?"   "Yes, I did. How did you know?" he asked.  "Well," said the policeman very seriously, "Your ball flew out onto the highway and crashed through a driver's windshield. The car went out of control, crashing into five other cars and a fire truck. The fire truck couldn't make it to the fire, and the building burned down. So, what are you going to do about it?"  The golfer thought it over carefully and responded... "I think I'll close my stance a little bit, tighten my grip and lower my right thumb."

I woke up in the middle of the night to drink some water and I accidentally ate a whole pizza and a cheesecake.

After a quarrel, a wife said to her husband, "You know, I was a fool when I married you."  The husband replied, "Yes, dear, but I was in love and didn't notice it."

Husbands are the best people to share your secrets with.  They will never tell anybody because they aren't listening in the first place.
