My friend, Tom, called me yesterday. We haven't seen each other in a while and his wife went to visit her Mom for Mother's Day, so we're gonna meet up today at Krystel's and shoot the bull a little bit. Tom's been my buddy for along time and he kinda reminds you of an older "Grizzly Adams". We've known each other for a while and when I first met Tom, he reminded me of a young "Grizzly Adams". He's just one of those good guys you run across from time to time, full beard, big as a bear, and just as nice a guy as you'd ever want to meet. If my mind functions somewhat normally today, I'll snap a picture and show you tomorrow.
Today is the gas boycott day. I'm not sure of what's going to come of it, but emailing may just be a way for the common folk to make statements. I received a lot of emails from different sources, all with the same message for today. Then, again, I get the occasional chain letter messages that tells me about God and that something bad will happen if I break the chain. I can assure you that I first report it as spam (friend or no friend) and then I break the shit out of the chain by deleting same. I speak to God every evening and he assures me that he does not own a computer !
The Pictures: My friend Pamela sent me these very funny billboard signs. I love them and I hope you do too. You have to look at very one of them or something bad will happen to your neighbor's hamster (you're sick. I know). I added the "usual suspects" and a picture for Indigo.
Here's Michael Buble, today's featured artist, performing "Kissing A Fool".

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: Q and A:
Q; What can a man do while his wife is going through menopause? A: Keep busy. Build a basement. When you are done, you will have a place to live. Q; As people age, do they sleep more soundly? A; Yes, usually in the afternoon. Q; What is the most common remark made by older people when they enter antique shops? A; "I remember these."
Three cats were bragging about their kittens. "Mine are Persian, their father was a Persian.", said the first cat. The second one said, "Mine are Siamese, Their father was from Siam." The third cat said nothing. The first two looked at the third cat and one said, "And yours? What was their father? The third cat replies, "Oh, I don'tknow. I had my head stuck in a tuna can."
That's it for today, my little gas guzzlers. More tomorrow.
Stay Tuned !

Love the billboards. You come up with the coolest pictures for me. I loved the one from today. Hope you remember to get a picture of the older Grizzly Adams (winks). I'm with you on the God chain letters, I usually delete them. Thanks for the reminder to report them as spam as well. Someday we'll win the war against them. (Hugs) Indigo
