Only when I don't spell check.

I'm from America's Dairyland. In Wisconsin, we have more cows than people. One day I discovered that cows speak French when I happened to say "C'est moi!" A cow looked at me solemnly and answered, "Mwaaa!"

That's a cow for you. It's all about "me."

If you told this story to a sheep, I'm sure it would not be impressed.

But you might get some sympathy from a hen.

The sheep sorta laughed and said, "Not baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!"

And the hen clucked sympathetically.

Just drive-by picture posting - wondering if a poem will happen to it. *L*

I went to the train yard yesterday morning, not the river, so I don't have a river picture handy.

In Austin one of the river tour boats downtown took on water and tourists had to be rescued off of it. No one was hurt, but they got their shoes wet.

Good moring! Oh, Good morning!

Do I hear banjos? Very cute welcome poem and graphic!

Appropriate for our weather here this morning, flash floods, several main trafficways closed due to high waters. My car was parked in several inches of rushing water in front of my house, fortunately by the time I left some, not all, of it had subsided.

"...wondering if a poem will happen to it."

Well, it's an interesting picture, but it rather tells its own story. Nothing very prosaic about it, much less poetic.

Track maintenance needs to be done, but it ain't Casey on the Cannonball.

Now if the picture showed the front of a train, I might conclude that the other side of the sign had a picture of Janet Reno. I don't think I am inspired to spend any po-ink on this one.

I don't believe that sign about working men. Why don't men ever question the veracity of that sign when no working men are visible?

Well, I think they should all get official river rat certificates, but I'm a novice in this.

In New Mexico, there is a small tree with a sign on it, "tree."

If the sign were not there, you wouldn't know the men were working, would you?

Try not to make too much noise, it's hard to sleep in that hot car.
