Oh sorry. Didn't know you were in a staff meeting. Sorry to disturb you. I'll tell that rooster to shut up! I do have an oldie but goodie I'd like to share with everyone

Late one night a burglar broke into a house. He froze when he heard a loud voice say, "Jesus is watching!" Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward.

"Jesus is watching!" The burglar stopped dead in his tracks and frantically looked all around. He spotted a parrot in a cage

"Was that you?" asked the burglar. "Yes," answered the parrot.

The criminal sighed in relief and asked, "What's your name?" "Clarence," said the bird.

"That's a dumb name for a parrot," sneered the burglar. "What idiot named you Clarence?" "The same idiot who named the Rottweiler Jesus."

[SouthernHawk]

...The same idiot who named the Rottweiler Jesus...

LOL ! Oh yeah.

Good warm up today, SH. I like the bumper stickers.

Been there, done that.

FIREWORKS — A British C-130J aircraft launches a display of flare countermeasures just prior to being the first coalition aircraft to land on the newly reopened military runway at Baghdad International Airport, July 1, 2003. Coalition aircraft bombed the runway during the war. Thanks to the help of the U.S. Air Force 1st Expeditionary Red Horse Group and the 447th Expeditionary Civil Engineering Squadron, the runway is once again operational. The British aircraft was delivering cargo and passengers to Baghdad in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Robert R. Hargreaves Jr

Has your state dried out yet? We are getting a dribble today.

We had thunderstorms last night (that knocked out the electricity for a bit) and are expecting them again tonight, and then on Friday and Saturday, but other than that.... I'm beginning to think we haven't been dry since Prohibitions -- and since that was before my time, I'm not even sure if we were then. ;)

morning, err... afternoon. I just dropped in to say hi. I am getting ready for the 4th. ROAD TRIP!

[Soaring Feather]

A Pilot's Prayer

Our Father in Heaven
we come before thee
in prayer for our nations pilots.

Lord grant them the keen eye of an eagle
the steady hand of confidence...
the swiftness of flight...
the wisdom and patience of a Job...

We hold our nations pilot's of the skies
of the United States of America
before the throne of God.

AMEN
