"he's a liar. He didn't do any of that stuff"

LOL ... that is fun-nny!
My computer is as slow as molasses this morning. Is the internet slow? We have a lot of fog this morning; I wonder if that is affecting my satellite connection.





For it to be this warm, the sun must be shining wherever the weathercam is located.

Give Carl an extra nickle for keeping the coffee cups filled.

We are having a damp, foggy day here so that pretty cup was extra welcome this morning.
Thank you for bringing us "Our Daily Bread" every morning.
It is appreciated.

Artist Pablo Picasso surprised a burglar at work in his new chateau. The intruder got away, but Picasso told the police he could do a rough sketch of what he looked like.
On the basis of his drawing, the police arrested a mother superior, the minister of finance, a washing machine, and the Eiffel tower.

I need to leave for awhile.

Need to take my great-niece in for a vaccination. Oh ... how I hate that. We'll go to the drive through car wash afterwards. She thinks that's a carnival ride. It is easy to entertain 4 year olds. (sometimes!)

If at first you don't succeed,
destroy all evidence that you tried.

He who hesitates is probably right.
Success always occurs in private,
and failure in full view.

Two wrongs are only the beginning.
No one is listening
until you make a mistake.

The severity of the itch
is proportional to the reach.

The problem with the gene pool is
that there is no lifeguard.

You never really learn to swear
until you learn to drive.

A fool and his money are soon partying.

A clear conscience is usually
the sign of a bad memory.

Money can't buy love.
But it CAN rent a very close imitation.

If you must choose between two evils,
pick the one you've never tried before.

Attempt to get a new car for your spouse
-- it'll be a great trade!

Hell hath no fury like
the lawyer of a woman scorned.

Hard work pays off in the future.
Laziness pays off now.

99 percent of lawyers
give the rest a bad name.

Bills travel through the mail
at twice the speed of checks.

Borrow money from pessimists
-- they don't expect it back.

A conscience is what hurts when
all your other parts feel so good.

Those who live by the sword
get shot by those who don't.

Everyone has a photographic memory.
Some don't have film.

A day without sunshine is like,
you know, night.

Despite the cost of living,
have you noticed how it remains so popular?

He who laughs last, thinks slowest.

Everyone has a photographic memory.
Some just don't have film.

A day without sunshine is like ... night.

On the other hand, you have more fingers.

Change is inevitable,
except from a vending machine.

I just got lost in thought.
It was unfamiliar territory.

When the chips are down,
the buffalo is empty.

Those who live by the sword get
shot by those who don't.

I feel like I'm diagonally parked
in a parallel universe.

You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say will be misquoted,
then used against you.

I wonder how much deeper the ocean
would be without sponges.

Honk if you love peace and quiet.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently
talented fool.

It is hard to understand how a cemetery
raised its burial cost and blamed it on
the cost of living.

Just remember...if the world didn't suck,
we'd all fall off.

The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50
chance of getting something right, there's a 90%
probability you'll get it wrong.

It is said that if you line up all the cars
in the world end to end, someone would be
stupid enough to try and pass them.

You can't have everything. Afterall,
where would you put it?

Latest survey shows that 3 out of 4 people
make up 75% of the world's population.

The things that come to those
who wait are usually the things left
by those who got there first.

A fine is a tax for doing wrong.
A tax is a fine for doing well.

It was recently discovered that
research causes cancer in rats.

Everybody lies, but it doesn't
matter since nobody listens.

I wished the buck stopped here,
as I could use a few.

I started out with nothing,
and I still have most of it.

Light travels faster than sound.
This is why some people appear bright
until you hear them speak.

Seen it all,
done it all,
can't remember most of it.

Howdy everyone!

The Bat

I discover him, a diminutive velvet teardrop,
hanging head down in the cold stone shadow
of a casement window near the marketplace
in the oldest part of town.
He must have flown there at dawn,
believing himself secure in his own private cave.
I lift him gently by his bony feet
and place him in the mesh folds
of my shopping bag,
where he fastens himself drowsily, unperturbed.
I will carry him home
to show my three small children
the special charm
of this much maligned scourge of mosquitoes
and other night-flying insects.
That evening at dusk
the enraptured children and I go into the garden
to observe as our guest
crawls from his temporary sleeping place
toward the scrap of raw meat
I have placed in the fork
of the redleaf plum.
He uses the set of delicate claws at the curve
of his twig-boned gray suede wings
to move smoothly down the branch headfirst,
opening his tiny, tooth-studded maw
as he happily devours our offering
with a curling pink tongue.
He finishes his meal with aplomb,
stares at us briefly from onyx button eyes,
then spreads his halfmoon wings
and skims soundlessly away
into the falling summer night.

-- Sue Littleton
