AND 'BANG-ZOOM' THERE WENT ANOTHER DAY

A MARVELOUS EARLY SEPTEMBER MORN COMPLETE WITH A TURKEY VULTURE FLYING LOW OVER A LARGE GATHERING OF GOLDENROD

Due to mainly medical appointments and procedures, etc. my good buddy Richard and I had not been out for one of our semi-monthly country road coffee tours for a while.  Luckily, we both had a free morning today and with it being my turn to drive I picked him up at 9:30 and we headed straightaway for Tim Horton's coffee shop in Clinton for two coffees and two carrot muffins to go.  Our travels then took us north of Clinton and from there we slowly mosied our way back in the direction of Bayfield.  A beautifully cool and sunny early September morning.

 EVERY TIME I GO OVER TO PICK RICHARD UP I FIRST HAVE TO FIND HIM HERE SOMEWHERE IN THE FOREST

Oh how nice it is to have this cooler weather upon us again.  It didn't take me long to dust off the lawn mower and cut some grass.  Wound up the leaf blower and blew out the carport, front deck, and porch.  Raked up some pine needles, and with my trusty orange little Swedesaw I cut down a Sumac tree hanging over our driveway, chopped it up, loaded it into our utility trailer, and with the Jeep, hauled it down to our Park's recycle area.  And 'bang-zoom' there went another day:))    

 CUTTING UP THE LAST OF THE SUMAC TREE IN OUR DRIVEWAY

 AND OFF I GO WITH ANOTHER LOAD TO OUR PARK'S RECYCLE AREA

 FOUR LOST CORNSTALKS WANDERING THEIR WAY THROUGH A YELLOWING BEANFIELD

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night." So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.  Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.Then  Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One to do the studies and one to write the reports.  Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they created the following positions, a time keeper, and a payroll officer,then hired two people.  Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?" So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, an Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.  Then Congress said, "We have had this operating for one year and we are $18,000 over budget. We must cut back overall cost."  So they laid off the night watchman.

April 1, 1957: The respected BBC news show Panorama announced that thanks to a very mild winter and the virtual elimination of the dreaded spaghetti weevil, Swiss farmers were enjoying a bumper spaghetti crop.

It accompanied this announcement with footage of Swiss peasants pulling strands of spaghetti down from trees. Huge numbers of viewers were taken in.  Many called the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this, the BBC diplomatically replied, 'place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best.'  Even the director-general of the BBC later admitted that after seeing the show he checked in an encyclopedia to find out if that was how spaghetti actually grew (but the encyclopedia had no information on the topic).  The broadcast remains, by far, the most popular and widely acclaimed April Fool's Day hoax ever.
