There are so many beautiful old bridges out there.

I wanted to save all of the images.

Whoda thunk??

It seems you have a decent enough mayor in Fresno. I just read exerpts from his annual "State of the City speech"

not a poem, but thought you'd all enjoy this joke

SENIOR CITIZEN LOSES JOB BECAUSE OF BUSH

I am a senior citizen. During the Clinton Administration I had an extremely good and well paying job.

I took numerous vacations and had several vacation homes.

Since President Bush took office, I have watched my entire life change for the worse.

I lost my job.

I lost my two sons in that terrible Iraqi War.

I lost my homes.

I lost my health insurance.

As a matter of fact I lost virtually everything and became homeless.

Adding insult to injury, when the authorities found me living like an animal, instead of helping me, they arrested me.

I will do anything that Senator Kerry wants to insure that a Democrat is back in the White House come next year.

Bush has to go.

Sincerely,

Saddam Hussein

Yeah ..... Bubba, a Republican, was elected mayor for a second term. Mayor Autry is a pretty good guy. He cares about the city. The last 2 or 3 mayors were Republicans. The city council is pretty screwed up, tho.

To find anything good in our leftist newspaper, you have to search the fine print.

Dear Saddam,

Give us a call when things are better.

[JustAmy]

LOL

Good joke, Kelly. Thank you for sharing it.

[Alamo-Girl]

LOLOL! I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

It is kinda late to post that but I just stumbled across it and couldn't resist. :)

Have a wonderful weekend, A-G.

S.A.N.D. ... Summertime, and the living is ... sandy.

Sand gets in the carpet,
Sand gets in your shoes.
Fight to keep the sand out,
I guarantee you’ll lose.

The toddlers in the sandbox,
Teenagers at the beach,
It even gets down in my shorts,
Where it’s rude to even reach.

Where does all the sand come from?
How did we get so much?
It is a longish story,
But it has a pleasant touch.

Find a grain of sand somewhere,
You needn’t look too far.
There may be some left in your shoe,
There’s more out by the car.

Hold that little grain of sand,
Where you can see it close.
I’m going to explain exactly,
How we got this healthy dose.

You’ll see it sparkle as it turns,
Reflecting gleams of light,
But there’s a lighter side as well,
If you’ll hear my fancy flight.

Each single grain of sand is more.
It’s silicon dioxide, Si and then two Os,
Three million billion molecules,
And here’s what they compose.

The silicon has fourteen parts,
That are quite positive,
They’re mated up with neutral ones,
Which has some peace to give.

Twenty-eight bits of whichness,
All mixed up in a what,
And circled round with wonderment,
That’s tied up in a knot.

The Os that hang around it,
Are not just airy moons,
Each has eight bits of fire within,
And eight water balloons.

Sixteen pieces more then,
Of whatness in a where.
And not just in the sand but it’s,
One fifth of all our air.

And out there in the water,
Nine-tenths of all of that,
Though you may get it in your nose,
It’s not for sneezing at.

Every one of these small things,
Was made so long ago,
We think they are forever,
But I must tell you no.

God put these things together,
A blessing is in each.
If you want to count your blessings,
You can start down at the beach.

Thank you for today's repeat.

It definitely deserves a second look.

Thank you for your many contributions to Amy's Place.

[JustAmy]

Take time to remember our veterans, our troops and
the families of those who paid the price for our FReedoms.

Middle age is when your narrow waist and broad mind exchange places!

The older I grow, the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.

Forty is the old age of youth; fifty is the youth of old age.
