I always thought...

...spaghetti was a vegetable, soooo why is it people serve a vegetable with spaghetti?

Isn't it good enough all by itself?

Then again, there's always good ol' spaghetti-an-bacon:

But no matter how I serve it, I always end up the same!

Here's another idea...

Daytona's coming up.

Wanna have some fun and excitement? Run 1/2 of the cars the opposite direction and see who gets to the finish first - if anyone:

Boom!

Blizzard!

Yeah, all of the 'other' states got real snow and some sledding opportunities:

Others got 'inconvenienced':

South Carolina got a 'party opportunity':

A 'funny' thing happened at the airport...

"Funny" what you remember when trying to come up with something eye-catching or interesting.

During one particularly distressing assignment training new Air Force pilots, I had the occasion to take one young lad on a cross-country navigation training mission. We left the sunny slopes of welcoming Enid, Oklahoma and braved the elements all the way to Amarillo, Tx, where the military facilities are co-located with the commercial airport.

Not having the best of luck, our trusty steed broke down and left us stranded in the middle of the middle of nowhere! One quick phone call and we were instructed to pick up airline tickets at the only desk in the civilian part of the airport (it was also the military desk, but they had separate chairs!) and return via airliner. Our 'sick' transportation would be fixed and retrieved at some later date.

No one thought anything of it (it was, after all, 1976) and Osama and his boys were still in diapers, but we boarded the plane with our "carry-on" stuff, loaded it in the overhead bins and sat down to enjoy the ride. Of course our "carry-on" stuff was helmets and parachutes, but it only dawned on us about halfway home that we could possibly have been mis-interpreted.

I pulled down the window shade, asked for a blanket and hid for the rest of the 'trip' - there was nothing else to do. After all, we were liable for those things and couldn't leave them in the broken airplane - could we?

LIke I said, 'funny' what comes to mind....

Geeeze, I shoulda' thought of that...

...before entering politics. Some 'not-so-good' decorating ideas:

Then again - some artwork is easily overlooked:

Just how accurate...

...is this "Groundhog thingie" they push every year?

According to my calendar, it's not too precise.

If you turn the page on my calendar you see that Spring starts on the 20th of March (of course it IS a "Chick-fill-'er-up" calendar, so by not including Sundays it may not be too accurate in itself (inside joke - I'm still trying to get a Sunday dinner at the local one...).

By counting the days/weeks between Feb 2nd and Mar 20th, there seem to be 6 weeks and 4 days. Don't those 4 days count for anything? Any other time if you lose 4 days you'd be pretty pissed, wouldn't you? (especially for those extra 4 days before 'tax day' for a lot of you)

And what's the big deal anyway? 6 more weeks of winter if he sees his shadow, 6 weeks and 4 days whether he sees it or not, and 'right around the corner' if he doesn't see it. I'm starting to see a scam here - am I the only one? (Oh sure, you all knew about it, and just didn't tell me, right?)

This may take more research....

Well.....

Just when I finally got a Birthday cake....
