HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 24 VOL 7
FEBRUARY 24TH 2008
WEATHER; FAIR, LOW HUMIDITY, 33/61 DEGREES
GAS; WASN’T IN TOWN TODAY SO NO REPORT.
I WENT OUT ON THE DECK AND SAT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR TODAY!
AND SINCE THERE WAS NOTHING EXCEPT RERUNS ON TV WE TUNED IN TO THE NASCAR RACE!
BETWEEN THE RED AND YELLOW FLAGS BECAUSE OF RAIN AND ONE BAD ACCIDENT AND A FEW OTHER LESS SERIOUS ONES THE RACE IS GOING TO BE CONTINUED TONIGHT AT 11:00 PM! THIS IS A FIRST FOR ME, THEY USUALLY CONTINUE THE NEXT DAY BUT INTHIS CASE MAYBE THE WEATHER IS GOING TO BE REAL UNSTEADY TOMORROW! I WAITED UP TILL 12:15AM AND THEY STILL HADN’T RESTARTED THE RACE SO I’LL SEE THE RESULTS TOMORROW ON THE NEWS! I’M JUST CURIOUS TO SEE HOW THE DODGES FINISH?
MY CAT, MR.”T” IS GETTING OLD AND AUTHUR IS GETTING HIM IN THE HIPS SO I PICK HIM UP AND PUT HIM IN MY LAP AND RUB BOTH HIPS FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES EACH! HE GETS HIS “MOTOR” PURRING AND REALLY LIKES IT! AFTER THE RUB DOWN HE’S GOOD FOR A DAY OR TWO!
COLLEEN AND DICK ARE DOING BETTER! HAVEN’T HEARD FROM MIKE SINCE THE PARTY BUT I GUESS EVERYTHING IS OK! WAITING TO HEAR FROM KERRY AND DEBI AS TO WHEN THEY’LL BE COMING UP FOR A DAY! KELLY SPENT ALL WEEKEND BUILDING A WALL IN HIS LIVING ROOM TO GIVE HALEY JO MORE PLAY ROOM AND A LARGER BEDROOM! SHANNON IS DOING A LITTLE BETTER SINCE THEY TOOK THE IMPLANT WIRES OUT OF HER SPINE, SHE SAID IT WAS WORSE NOT BETTER! I TALKED TO MY BROTHER JERRY AND HE HAD ALMOST THE SAME THING DONE TO HIS BACK AFTER HE GOT HURT WHILE ON THE LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPT BUT IT ONLY LASTED ABOUT 6 MONTH. HE TOLD ME ABOUT A NEW DEVICE THEY’RE USING THAT IS PLACED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BODY, NO WIRES AND I PASSED THE INFORMATION ON TO SHANNON AND SUGGESTED SHE MENTION IT TO HER DOCTOR! TIM MUST BE BUSY, I’M SURE THE JOB REALLY KEEPS HIM COVERED UP! I KNOW HE AND BRADLEY ARE WORKING IN HIS SHOP AT NIGHT, HE’S TEACHING BRAD THE PROPER USE OF WOOD WORKING TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT! HE TAKES BRAD TO EITHER LOWE’S OR HOME DEPOT FOR KID CLASSES AND HE HAS MADE SOME NEAT THINGS!
I HAVE SOME OTHER PICTURES I WANT TIM TO MAKE FRAMES FOR, SOME OF THEM ARE COLOR PICTURES OF AIRCRAFT I’VE HAD FOR YEARS AND SOME ARE FAMILY PICTURES, THERE ARE NEWSPAPER ARTICLES AND PICTURES FROM WWII, MY NAVY AND USAF DISCHARGES AND SOME OTHER THINGS I NEVER TOOK TIME TO FRAME!
HERE ARE SOME COMMENTS MADE IN 1955.
“I’LL TELL YOU ONE THING, IF THINGS KEEP GOING THE WAY THEY ARE, IT’S GOING TO BE IMPOSSIBLE TO BUY A WEEKS GROCERIES FOR $20.00”
“HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW CARS COMING OUT NEXT YEAR? IT WON’T BE LONG BEFORE $2,000 WILL ONLY BUY A USED ONE.”
“IF CIGARETTS KEEP GOING UP IN PRICE, I’M GOING TO QUIT. A QUARTER A PACK IS REDICULOUS.”
“DID YOU HEAR THE POST OFFICE IS GOING TO CHARGE A DIME JUST TO MAIL A LETTER?”
“IF THEY RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE TO $1 NOBODY WILL BE ABLE TO HIRE OUTSIDE HELP AT THE STORE.”
“WHEN I FIRST STARTED DRIVING, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT GAS WOULD SOMEDAY COST 29 CENTS A GALLON. GUESS WE’D BE BETTER OFF LEAVING THE CAR IN THE GARAGE.”
“KIDS TODAY ARE GETTING IMPOSSIBLE; THOSE DUCK TAIL HAIR CUTS MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO STAY GROOMED. NEXT THING YOU KNOW, BOYS WILL BE WEARING THEIR HAIR AS LONG AS THE GIRLS.”
WILLIE JONES WAS THE KIND OF PERSON WHO KNEW EVERYBODY OF IMPORTANCE! HE WENT IN TO MAKE A LONE AT THE LOCAL AMERICAN BANK. WHEN THE LOAN OFFICER ASKED FOR REFERENCES WILLY TOLD HIM HE KNEW GEORGE W. BUSH. WILL HE BE A REFERENCE FOR YOU ASKED THE LOAN OFFICER SMILING! SURE, HERE’S HIS PRIVATE PHONE #, CALL HIM AND ASK HIM! THE LOAN OFFICER DID AND GEORGE TOLD HIM TO GIVE WILLIE ANYTHING HE WANTED, HE WAS GOOD FOR IT! DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER ONE ASKED THE OFFICER, YEAH, I KNOW BARACK OBAMA, HERE’S HIS PRIVATE PHONE #, CALL HIM AND ASK HIM ABOUT ME WHICH THE LOAN OFFICER DID AND OBAMA SAID TO GIVE WILLIE WHAT EVER HE WANTED THAT HE WAS GOOD FOR IT! I NEED ONE MORE SAID THE LONE OFFICER, WILLIE THOUGHT FOR A MINUTE THEN SAID, I KNOW THE POPE, YOU KNOW THE POPE? ASKED THE LOAN OFFICER? YEP, BUT I DON’T HAVE HIS PHONE #! THE LOAN OFFICER AGREED TO FLY WILLIE TO ROME AND JUST SEE IF HE ACTUALLY KNEW THE POPE! THEY LANDED AT THE AIRPORT AND THE LOAN OFFICER AND WILLIE WENT TO THE VATICAN WHERE THERE WAS A BLESSING GOING TO TAKE PLACE IN AN HOUR! WILLIE TOLD THE LOAN OFFICER TO GO TO THE BACK OF THE CROWD AND WAIT FOR HIM TO COME OUT ON THE BALCONY WITH THE POPE WHICH THE LOAN OFFICER DID. WHEN HE GOT THERE HE ASKED A LITTLE BOY ABOUT 10-11 YEARS OLD TO WATCH THE BALCONY AND TELL HIM WHO COMES OUT ON IT? THE LITTLE BOY HAD A SMALL PAIR OF BANOCULARS AND KEPT WATCHING THE BALCONY, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CROWD WENT CRAZY AND THE LOAN OFFICER ASKED THE BOY WHAT WAS GOING ON, TWO PEOPLE JUST WALKED OUT ON THE BALCONY; WHO ARE THEY ASKED THE LOAN OFFICER, I DON’T KNOW THE CAT WITH THE BEANIE BUT THAT’S WILLIE JONES STANDING NEXT TO HIM ANSWERED THE BOY! WILLIE GOT HIS LOAN!
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
