That fella that wrote that poem must be really old.

Is he still alive?

Well, you probably have a good point there! You know how spring is! I just pulled all my chairs off the patio and hosed them down good to get the pollen off. I have cleaned twice out there this spring already. (I’m tard)...LOL!

Geeze ... I haven’t heard from him in awhile ... I’ll send out the bloodhounds.

Hi There, NnB. You written any new stuff? Do you still have a list of your poems? The list I have is very old, just like the poet. LOL

Hope you are having a great Monday.

Oh what Fun! Irritate a Liberal enviro-wacko today!!!

Well, this is a kick in the seat of the pants.
For all of you libs out there in America and across the globe who have fought so hard to tackle the hideous enemy of our planet, namely carbon emissions, that bogus god you worship named “Climate Change” or “Global Warming”, there is some really bad news that will be very painful for you to process. But it is my duty to pass it on to you anyway.

Are you sitting down?

Okay, here’s the bombshell. The current volcanic eruption going on in Iceland, since it first started spewing volcanic ash, has, to this point, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you have made in the past five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet.

Not only that, this single act of God has added emissions to the earth, estimated to be 42 times more than can be corrected by the extreme human regulations proposed for annual reductions. Just think, if this thing keeps spewing volcanic ash into the atmosphere for weeks, months or even years how far behind you will be in your efforts to stop Global Warming!!!

I know, I know... (have a group hug)...it’s very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission savings you have accomplished. All while suffering the inconvenience and expense of driving Prius hybrids, buying fabric grocery bags, sitting up til midnight to finish your kid’s “The Green Revolution” science project, throwing out all of your non-green cleaning supplies.

All after using only two squares of toilet paper, putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your SUV, and speedboat, going on vacation to a city park instead of Yosemite, nearly getting hit every day on your bicycle, replacing all of your $1 light bulbs with $10 light bulbs.
Well, all of those things you have done have all gone down the tubes in just the past weeks.

The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth’s atmosphere in the past weeks has totally erased every single effort you have made to reduce the evil beast, carbon. And, those hundreds of thousands of American jobs you helped move to Asia with expensive emissions demands on businesses... you know, the ones that are creating even more emissions than when they were creating American jobs, well that must seem really worthwhile now.

I’m so sorry. And I do wish that there was some kind of a silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud but the fact of the matter is that the brush fire season across the western U.S.A. will start in about two months and those fires will negate your efforts to reduce carbon emissions in our world for the next two years.

So, grab a Coke, give the world a hug, and have a nice day!

(Chuckle, snort, snicker, wink!)

Not sure if JD wrote that song, but it is a beauty. Loved his voice. I was so sad when he died. He loved horses like I do. His horsie was at his memorial service.

It was hotter than hades here in WI today, 90 and really humid. Was like this Sunday and will repeat tomorrow and then get better by the weekend.

I hate working in the greenhouse when it’s like this. I drink large amounts of water.

We just had frost less than 2 weeks ago and now it’s this hot. Thank goodness for the AC in the house.

Enjoyed reading everyone’s posts for today and also the many great pictures!

Love the one with the doggie with the cup balanced on his head. Good Doggie!

Forgot to share this little item on Friday.

My surgeon came into the pre-op area to chat and mark the spot. He noticed a 4 inch piece of tape attached to my lumbar area. He asked what the tape was for and I told him it was a message for him.

He read it and laughed out loud.

The message...

Hey Hey Hey, Bob! I've been looking for you. I was reading your poems today. The ones I kept in my files. I remembered the one I read for Father's Day last year. I have another "dad" poem that you wrote that I will probably use this year, if you don't mind.

Yeah, everybody is old around here. You have no idea what I went through Saturday. I had the gall to promote a Christian Rock Youth Rally with five rock bands. I know that my hearing aid will never be the same. How on earth do those kids stand that noise? Somebody should give me a medal for sitting through five minutes of each band. Then I found "other" things that needed attending to. LOL. It was worth the noise though. Six young people came forward to dedicate their lives to Christ. The Lord and I have had conversation about this. I told him that I agree that it was a good idea, but henseforth, if He wants the children brought out of Egypt, He will have to send somebody else. I have issues with loud noises.
