HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBERS 15& 16
FEBRUARY 16TH & 17TH 2008
WEATHER; 16TH, MISERABLE, 17TH A LITTLE BETTER, 28/45 & 37/65 DEGREES
GAS STILL GOING UP $ 2.95 WHERE IT WAS $ 2.79 LAST WEEK
WELL OUR 50TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY WAS A REAL NICE EVENT! ALL OF OUR KIDS SHOWED UP EXCEPT PEGGY AND WE HAD TOLD HER NOT TO SPEND THE MONEY, AFTER ALL WE SPENT 4 DAYS WITH HER AND PAUL AT CHRISTMAS!
COLLEEN, DICK HER INTENDED WAS SICK WITH THE FLU, MIKE, CINDY AND THE BOYS WERE AT A RODEO WHERE DYLAN WAS BULL RIDING, KERRY & DEBI,, KELLY & GLENDA, CHRISTINE AND RICHIE HUBBARD & GIRLS, TRISTON MATTHEWS, SHANNON & KYLIE JENNINGS, KAUITLIN JENNINGS, JONATHAN HORNSLEY, AND TIM & ELYSE ALONG WITH BRADLEY AND KYRA, THEIR TWO KIDS, ALL MADE IT!
OTHERS WHO WERE THERE; GARY AND CHARLEEN LATINIS, JIM AND RITA GUNDLACH, HAROLD AND MARILYN FRANKS, BILL AND MARGARET ORRIC, AND THEIR SON BILLY ORRIC AND HIS WIFE STEPHANIE, BILL AND THELMA GRAY, THEY STOOD UP FOR US WHEN WE WERE MARRIED IN THE CHURCH, LISA, A FRIEND OF SHANNONS WHO WE UNDERSTAND DID MOST OF THE DECORATING WHAT A JOB SHE DID AND WE LOVE HER FOR IT! GLENN AND CYNDY HANCOCK, GLENN IS THE MANAGER OF SERVICE PARTS; ONE OF OUR AUTO PARTS SUPPLIERS AND A GOOD FRIEND, LILLIAN DID THE PAPERWORK FOR THE ADOPTION OF THEIR KIDS!
AND WOULDN’T YOU KNOW IT, WE WERE HEADED FOR THE PARTY AND ABOUT ½ WAY DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY THE SERPANTINE BELT CAME OFF THE ENGINE, NO ALTERNATOR OR POWER STEERING SO WE TURNED AROUND IN THE ROAD AND WENT BACK TO THE HOUSE! LUCKLY FOR US, KELLY AND GLENDA HADN’T LEFT YET SO WE RODE WITH THEM! KELLY PUT THE BELT BACK ON THIS MORNING AND I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL CAR WASH AND WASHED THE OIL OFF THE BELT, I NEED TO DO THIS EVERY OTHER WEEK TILL WE GET THE INTREPID ON THE ROAD THEN KELLY CAN CHANGE THE OIL PUMP SEAL SO THIS DOESN’T HAPPEN ANY MORE!
I WASN’T GOING TO WATCH ANYMORE NASCAR BUT THERE WASN’T ANYTHING ELSE ON WORTH WATCHING TODAY AND WE’RE TIRED OF ALL THE POLITICAL STUFF THAT’S ON THE TUBE SO I TURNED IT IN!
EVEN THOUGH TWO DODGES TOOK 1ST AND 2ND AND ANOTHER 4 IN THE TOP TEN I’LL HAVE TO SAY IT WAS THE BEST DAYTONA 500 I’VE EVER SEEN, THEY DIDN’T HAVE A YELLOW FLAG FOR THE FIRST 180+ LAPS BUT THEN THEY HAD 5-6 IN 15 LAPS! AND LOW AND BEHOLD THE RACE FINISHED UNDER THE GREEN FLAG! USUALLY WITH THAT MANY YELLOWS NEAR THE END IT WOULD FINISH UNDER THE YELLOW & CHECKERD CROSSED WHICH MEANS NO PASSING, HOLD YOUR POSITION AND JUST DRIVE TO THE FINISH LINE!
NOTE!
IF THE AIR IS FOULED AND THE WATER IS CONTAMINATED! OUR PLANET IS DYING AND ONLY A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF OUR CITIZENS ARE DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND WHAT THEY’RE DOING ISN’T WORKING! WE SHOULD BE DOING A LOT OF PLANNING ABOUT HOW TO GET ALONG WITH LESS, AIR, WATER, AND THE SEAS!
NOTE!
SCHOOL TAXES! SEND A PORTION OF LOCAL SCHOOL TAXES COLLECTED TO THE STATE! LET THE STATE PAY ALL TEACHERS ON AN EQUAL SCALE!
FYI
YOU’VE ALL HEARD ABOUT “FIGHTER PILOTS” BUT, HERE’S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT THIS IS A LONELY PROFESSION! MALE OR FEMALE FIGHTER PILOTS FLY FIGHT DIE ALL ALONE! MOST OTHER MILITARY AIRCRAFT HAVE A CREW OF TWO OR MORE SO THE ALONE ISN’T AS NOTICEABLE!
ONE RUSSIAN FEMALE FIGHTER PILOT WHO FLEW DURING WWII HAD 26 CONFIRMED KILLS ALL WHITTNESSED BY OTHER PILOTS!
DEAR FRIEND;
YOU ASKED ME ABOUT THE “JOYS OF AGING” RECENTLY AND, I HAVE SOME NEWS FOR YOU!
I HAVE BECOME A FRIVALOUS OLD GAL! I AM SEEING 5 GENTLEMEN EVERYDAY.
AS SOON AS I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING WILL POWER HELPS ME OUT OF BED. WHEN HE LEAVES I GO SEE JOHN. THEN CHARLIE HORSE COMES ALONG AND HE TAKES A LOT OF ATTENTION!
WHEN CHARLIE HORSE LEAVES, ARTHUR RITUS SHOWS UP AND STAYS ALL DAY! HE WILL NOT STAY IN ONE PLACE VERY LONG, SO HE TAKES ME FROM JOINT TO JOINT.
AFTER SUCH A BUSY DAY, I’M VERY TIRED AND READY TO GO TO BED WITH BEN GAY.
YOUR FRIVALOUS FRIEND, WANDA
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
HOWARD
I WAS ASKED RECENTLY WHAT “30” MEANT IN MY SIGN OFF? FOR THOSE WHO ARE WONDERING? IT’S NEWSPAPER JARGON FOR “THE END, THAT’S ALL THERE IS, SIGN OFF”! HAM
