WE ARE BOTH AVID 'FRESH AIR INSPECTORS'

 A GREEN BACKED HERON AT OUR PARK'S POND THIS AFTERNOON
A rainy start to the day which began clearing up shortly after 9 a.m.  My turn to drive this morning so Richard and I headed off under blue skies south on Highway 21 through Bayfield where we picked up our Hortons coffee and muffins to go.  Continuing south we popped into all the short sideroads between the Highway and the lake.  It's always interesting to see all the cottages, properties, landscaping, and million-dollar homes nestled into the forested woodlots along the shoreline of Lake Huron.  By the way, both Richard and I are avid 'Fresh Air Inspectors' also sometimes known as 'Sidewalk Superintendents' or 'Strawbosses'.  Our combined expertise in this field lends itself well to our thoughts and opinions about everything that we see along the way:))

With cooler air and a nice breeze upon us this afternoon I was able to finish up the grass cutting and weed whacking.  Even had enough energy left over to do a Park pond walk with Pheebs.  I had started a small front yard flower bed edging project early last week and if I keep up my current lackadaisical pace I might even be able to finish it by Christmas.   

 PHEEBS AND I STOPPED AT THE 'REST-A-BIT BENCH AGAIN TODAY
 LASER FOCUSED ON A FISH OR A FROG
Ellen's Groove:)) Summer Jam with Ellen and friends including her Dad on lead guitar. 

Al's Music Box:))  So Much In Love is a song written by George Williams, Billy Jackson, and Roy Straigis (initially under the name John Joseph). It was originally performed by Williams's American soul vocal group the Tymes and was released in the summer of 1963 on Cameo Parkway Records, which produced many pre-Beatles hits of the 60s. It quickly became The Tymes' first hit single.

 IT LOOKS LIKE THIS GREEN BACKED HERON HAS SPAGHATTI TOES
GROANER'S CORNER:(( Prison vs. Work::

- IN PRISON...you spend the majority of your time in an 8x10 cell.  

AT WORK...you spend most of your time in a 6x8 cubicle.

- IN PRISON...you get three meals a day.

AT WORK...you only get a break for one meal and you have to pay for it.

- IN PRISON...you get time off for good behavior. AT WORK...you get rewarded for good behavior with more work.  

IN PRISON...a guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you.

AT WORK...you must carry around a security card and unlock and open all the doors yourself.

- IN PRISON...you can watch TV and play games.  

AT WORK...you get fired for watching TV and playing games.

- IN PRISON...they allow your family and friends to visit.  

AT WORK...you cannot even speak to your family and friends.

- IN PRISON...you spend most of your life looking through bars from the inside wanting to get out.  

AT WORK...you spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars.


- IN PRISON...there are wardens who are often sadistic.  

AT WORK...they are called managers.
