THE MORNING AFTER

Walking Down the River

It is 7:32 a.m. and 78.5 degrees out, if you can believe that. Patrick got up, went out, came back in and went back to bed with Junior.

Found a hard cache in the Fort with Junior, the Cafeteria Lady and the Teacher yesterday, then celebrated at Wrigley Field Bar & Grill with pitchers of AMber Bock and brots.

Wached Barry Bonds NOT set a home run record on the tube last night...

Hugged my son yesterday. He is such a good boy.

Did you know Cam Newsome is even BIGGER than TT?

“I suspect the way many viewers reacted to [the] Democratic presidential debate co-sponsored by CNN and YouTube depended on whether they generally see themselves on the taking or giving end of government transactions. For those accustomed to taking from government, it was a tremendous night. For those accustomed to giving to government, it foreshadowed the nightmare to come if a Democrat is elected president.” —Terence Jeffrey
From Mark:

A South Carolina farm wife called the local phone company to report her
telephone failed to ring when her friends called - and that on the few
occasions, when it did ring, her dog always moaned right before the phone rang. The telephone repairman proceeded to the scene, curious to see this psychic dog or senile lady. He climbed a telephone pole, hooked in his test set, and dialed the subscriber's house.
The phone didn't ring right away, but then the dog moaned and the telephone began to ring. Climbing down from the pole, the telephone repairman
found:

1. The dog was tied to the telephone system's ground wire with a steel
chain and collar.

2. The wire connection to the ground rod was loose .
3. The dog was receiving 90 volts of signaling current when the number
was called.

4. After a coupl e of jolts, the dog would start moaning and then
urinate.

5. The wet ground would complete the circuit, thus causing the phone
to ring.

Which demonstrates that some problems CAN be fixed by pissing and
moaning.

Thought you'd like to know.
