A man went into a restaurant and called for a glass of whisky and water. Having tasted it, he exclaimed:
“What did you put in first, the whisky or the water?”

Another month has come and I am looking out across the lawn which needs mowing again. Lemme see what is June noted for besides D-Day and Father’s day?

On this date in 1921 Oklahoma race riots kill 60 Blacks and 25 Whites, and in 1926 Marilyn Monroe was born. I guess my fascination with history just keeps dragging me back into areas that nobody but myself seems to care about. Especially to events that are not news worthy nowadays.

Talking about the news nowadays there seems to be nothing on it that is worth watching. It’s the same old stuff for all of them. If one station reports something all the stations pick it up and repeat the same stuff. We have a channel here that at the first break of bad weather it decides to stop all programming and goes into a Weather Marathon~You get to watch the storms run from 500 miles west from where we live to 500 miles east of here. And not only do they cancel all the regular programming you get to watch the meterologist say the same thing over and over and over for whatever time it takes the storm to go from the beginning point to just about Louisiana. And I am sure if the station didn’t set the boundaries at the Texas state line he would keep giving regular updates all the way to Georgia. Enough for today.

his absent without leave cases with leniency.
"If the good Lord has given a man a cowardly pair of legs," he
reasoned, "it is hard to keep them from running away with him."
