COMMON SENSE

    Common sense is wisdom with it's sleeves rolled up.

                                                  Kyle Farnsworth

    The only thing I can find on Farnsworth is that he was  baseball pitcher.

BUCK BUCKS !

      Just as I got in bed the other night I remembered that I hadn't set out the carts for  pick up. The Micro Manager said we'll be awake in the morning and put them out. The trucks usually pick up about 7:15 AM. 

     We happened to wake up about 5:15 AM so I decided to go out then.

    I stumbled out with my jacket on. What a surprise when I got in my back yard and found that I had visitors. Two very large bucks were standing in my yard. Usually they run and get out of the country. These two beggars just stood there and looked at me. They sneered. I yelled at them. They moved two steps. I stepped towards them and them decided to leave. They went as far as the street and stopped looking back. I know what they ware  thinking. "He'll go back in the house and we'll go back in the yard. 

    They finally decided to leave.

    the next day I thought I'd see how much they like tomatoes. They ate about 25 % of the fruit. 

    Was I mad?

    I think my friend Bill Franz  sent them down from his place.

     I thought afterwards that mule deer bucks have been known to charge humans. I didn't think about that as I tried to shoo them out of my yard.

BRAINS

   Some people are so open minded, their brains fall out.

                                                  Rick Warren

     I like open minded people. Rick Warren is an American evangelical pastor

NAMES

      President Trump seems to like changing names of things and naming some of them after himself.

      Canada didn't play nice with him on the recent trade negociations so he renamed one of our major lakes. So he renames something and people don't  change. the grander the place to name the more he likes it so I would like to help him out with some of the names. I read somewhere today that he could call the earth TRUMP. 

    Well , lets go a little further. He could name the moon after himself. Okay the sun could be called Trump. How about the Milky way?

   How about this being enough assistance for  Trump and renaming things?

TROUBLE

      THE TROUBLE WITH TROUBLE IS THAT IT STARTS OUT AS FUN.

                                                                    Naomi Judd

    I was impressed with this quote from Judd.

COOL BIKE

      I walk most evenings I walk from 3 to 5 km. I usually go by the beaver pond and check on what is going on. Usually there are  other people on the bridge as well. It's a good place to visit.

     Well, yesterday I happened to be on the bridge and a cyclist came along. We talked about beavers and muskrats for a few minutes. By this time I noticed a suitcase on the back of his bike. Jokingly I asked him if he was going on a trip.  Oh he said, " I keep my batteries in there. " I was beginning to notice  few things. This bike looked different and he was going to tell me. He got the motor on Ebay or one of those sites. He attached a seat not a bicycle seat. It was a bench seat.

    He had foam rubber strips attached to his helmet straps so the wind didn't interfere with listening to his music. He had attached lights. He had a special holder for his phone.

    I'm probably missing a few things.  All of this was  set on a recumbent bike frame. Now I was impressed at what this young fellow did.

     I'm sure he will find himself in some kind of fabrication later on.

    However , this was a different visit at the beaver pond than usual.

SAVING

       EVERYBODYWANTS TO SAVE THE EARTH. NOBODY WANTS TO HELP MOM WITH THE DISHES.

                                                                 P. J. O'Rourke

      The simple is compared to the complicated.
