Went to the library this morning Took Zoe She likes to harass the ducks Stopped to talk to one of the workers He was mowing the grass First thing he said, It's going to be a long hot summer. I said, "That's what summers are for." He looked at me like I was from outer space, Got back on his riding lawn mower And drove away |

I'm sure he does. I don't know. I'm just not the kinda guy that sits around and spouts clichés for an hour or two. He could have just greeted me with a "Hi, how are you today?" Thanks, Ida, for being here. ~ Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.--Will Rogers ~ |

Haha! Thanks, Lori, you do know how to make a guy feel good. Now this guy at the library, it's the same old, same old every time we talk. Today I just couldn't go along with the tired old comment. ~ Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.--Will Rogers ~ |

JerryP - Ahh Shucks JP! Just when you couldn't stand the same old comments was the day he finished a library book on the Thermodynamics of Heat Distribution in Particle Accelerators which no doubt prompted a comment about summer hotness. I think that guy's my uncle. Anyway, much enjoyed your work here and that's my Weather Forcast for today. Namyh |

Hahaha!! Maybe you've got something there, Namyh. Thanks for dropping by. Yep, it was a bit controversial, wasn't it, Nan. Appreciate the comment. ~ Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.--Will Rogers ~ |
