I HAVEN'T FELT MUCH LIKE MY OLD WRITING SELF LATELY

This morning, an orange Sun and pinkish sky made its way through the Pine trees and lifted my sagging spirits.  It almost made me want to run outside and play in the snow.  Yes, I do sometimes suffer from delirious spasms of ridiculous thinking.  With overhead blue skies beckoning, Pheebs and I headed east out of the Park down Bayfield River Road.  North on Parr line we ambled up to Telephone Road and turned West to begin making our way back home.  A brisk southerly wind had some ground drifting going on but nothing serious.  Took a few photos and called it day as the seemingly ever-present cloud cover rolled back in.  The rest of the day just kinda went downhill from there.  I haven't felt much like my old writing self or camera guy lately.  Maybe I just need to put my keyboard and camera in the closet for a while and take a break from things.................

 MORNING'S SUNRISE THROUGH THE PINE TREES

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A Texan was taking a taxi tour of London and was in a hurry. As they went by the Tower of London the cab driver explained what it was and that construction of it started in 1346 and was completed in 1412.  The Texan replied, "Shoot, a little ol' tower like that? In Houston we'd have that thing up in two weeks!"  Next they passed the House of Parliament - started in 1544 and completed in 1618.  "Well boy, we put up a bigger one than that in Dallas and it only took a year!"  As they passed Westminster Abbey the cab driver was silent.  "Whoah! What's that over there?" asked the Texan.  The driver replied, "I don't know, it wasn't there yesterday."

A new bride was a bit embarrassed to be known as a honeymooner. So when she and her husband pulled up to the hotel, she asked him if there was any way that they could make it appear that they had been married a long time.  He responded, "Sure. You carry the suitcases!"

My friend just got back from a trip to Switzerland. I asked him what he thought about the scenery. He said,“Oh, I couldn't see much. All the darn mountains were in the way.”

John Smith lived in Staten Island, New York and worked in Manhattan. He had to take the ferryboat home every night. One evening, he got down to the ferry and found there was a wait for the next boat, so John decided to stop at a nearby tavern. Before long he was feeling no pain.  When he got back to the ferry slip, the ferryboat was just eight feet from the dock. Smith, afraid of missing this one and being late for dinner, took a running leap and landed right on the deck of the boat.  "How did you like that jump, buddy?" said a proud John to a deck hand.  "It was great," said the sailor. "But why didn't you wait? We were just pulling in!"
