TGIF to you, puppypusher. It can’t get here soon enough. On my way in to work in the morning I have to drop my vehicle off for its IM test and license renewal.

No days over the bad air limits for 10 years, but the new dim city officials said they will not let it stop. GRRRR!!

Big plans for the weekend for you?

Naval Training
A young naval student was being put through the paces by an old sea captain.

“What would you do if a sudden storm sprang up on the starboard?”

“Throw out an anchor, sir,” the student replied.

“What would you do if another storm sprang up aft?”

“Throw out another anchor, sir.”

“And if another terrific storm sprang up forward, what would you do then?” asked the captain.

“Throw out another anchor, sir.”

“Hold on,” said the captain. “Where are you getting all those anchors from?”

“From the same place you’re getting your storms, sir.”
