Sunday

Walt & I have had a pleasant day. We did a little furniture shopping this afternoon, followed by a late lunch at the Waffle House.

Late this evening we were sitting around and the power went out. Walt found the candles while I call the power company. It seems that there was a widespread outage due to an equipment fire.

Walter said that he was going to invoke "Murphy's Law" by getting the candles all lit. He said that it was inveitable that by the time he got all the candles lit that the power would come back on. Well low and behold as he was on his way to sit down the power popped right back on. Walter said it just proved his theory or it could have been just a fairly speedy/planned out outage on the part of the power company.

As I went home last night it had started to rain. We've been short on that here and every little bit helps.

Email & Newsletter Gleanings:
A Republican cowboy from Texas attends a social function which Hillary Clinton is attending and trying to gather more support for her nomination. Once she discovers the cowboy is a Republican, she starts to belittle him by talking in a southern drawl and single syllable words.

As she was doing that, she kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around her head. The cowboy says, "Y'all havin' some problem with them "circle flies?"

She stopped talking and said, "Well yes, if that's what they're called. But I've never heard of "circle flies."

"Well ma'am," the cowboy replies, "circle flies" hang around ranches. They're called "circle flies" because they're almost always found circling around the back end of a horse."

"Oh," Hillary replies as she goes back to rambling. But, a moment later she stops and bluntly asks, "Are you calling me a horse's ass?"

"No, ma'am," the cowboy replies, "I have too much respect for citizens of New York to call their Senator a horse's ass."

"That's a good thing," she responds and begins rambling on once more. After pausing to take a breath, the cowboy, in his best Texas drawl adds, "Hard to fool them flies though."
