Street Gangs In Montana
Why are they lying around and standing around? Why don't they go to work? Next thing you know, they'll want government handouts.
From Doug, who thinks that God has a sense of humor.
Fats Domino - "Blueberry Hill"
I woke up this morning with "Blueberry Hill" playing in my head, over and over, and over and over. Don't get me wrong. I like Fats' "Blueberry Hill" a lot, but all day? Noooo. I post the video with the hope the song will get out of my head and onto my blog.

"Please Pray For My Country"
From Brian R. in Australia:
I ask for your prayers for those who have died, those who are injured, those who have lost loved ones and those who have lost their homes and all they possess.

Sunday Morning Humor For Those Who Sleep In
WHATEVER HITS THE FAN WILL
NOT BE DISTRIBUTED EVENLY.
I have kleptomania,
but when it gets bad,
I take something for it.
FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS!
Except that one where you're naked in church.
Sometimes too much to drink isn't enough.
Suicidal twin kills sister by mistake!
My short-term memory is not as sharp as it used to be.
Also, my short-term memory's not as sharp as it used to be.
Welcome to Utah
Set your watch back 20 years.
In just two days from now,
tomorrow will be yesterday.
A bartender is just a pharmacist
with a limited inventory.
The statement below is true.
The statement above is false.
I may be schizophrenic,
but at least I have each other.
I am a Nobody.
Nobody is Perfect.
Therefore I am Perfect.
Dyslexics Have More Nuf.
In Memorium
With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week. Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey", died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.
I LOVE COOKING WITH WINE
Sometimes I even put it in the food
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln,
how was the play?
When you work here,
you can name your own salary.
I named mine, "Fred".
Money isn't everything,
but it sure keeps the kids in touch.
Reality is only an illusion
that occurs due to a lack of alcohol.
I am having an out-of-money experience.
As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on 280 Interstate. Please be careful!"
"It's not just one car," said Herman. "It's hundreds of them!"
Don't sweat the petty things.
Don't pet the sweaty things.
Corduroy pillows are making headlines!
I want to die while asleep like my grandfather,
not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car.
I FOUND JESUS!
He was in my trunk when I got back from Tijuana.
Don't blame me. Blame the wicked Doug. Keep in mind that you haven't seen the worst of it, for I exercised my censorship privileges.

Jindal Raises Funds For Next Campaign For What?
I said I probably wouldn't blog for a while, but some stories are irresistible and easy.
From the Times-Picayune:
Taking his second out-of-state fundraising trip in a week, Gov. Bobby Jindal left for Fayetteville, Ark., on Friday to attend a fundraiser at a private residence in support of his gubernatorial re-election campaign.
....
Jindal held two fundraising events in North Carolina on Wednesday. Jindal has held fundraisers recently in Florida, Texas, Connecticut and Mississippi.
Folks all around the country really, really, really want Bobby Jindal reelected governor of Louisiana. His emergence as a rising young star in the Republican firmament has nothing whatever to do with any of these events. His ethnicity as an Indian-American is also completely irrelevant, as is that of Michael Steele, the new chairman of the RNC, who is African-American.
Of course, since nothing's happening here in Louisiana that requires the governor's attention, the fundraising gives him something to do.

Family Troubles Again
I'm not quite ready to make this news public, but I probably won't be blogging very much for a while, and some of you will worry, so here goes:
My son-in-law told my daughter that he wants a divorce. They told their children last night, and the three boys and my daughter are devastated. They need prayers desperately. He wants out of the marriage. The marriage didn't look made in heaven, but it didn't look that bad either. In less than three years, it appears that the lives of 5 of my grandchildren will be devastated by the separation of their parents, and 2 of my children devastated by being cast off by their spouses. My son and his wife split nearly 3 years ago, and everyone is just about settling down after that, and now another marriage in the family falls apart.
I welcome all prayers and good thoughts for my daughter, my three grandsons, and Grandpère and me. Pray for my son-in-law, too. We will all get through this by faith and with the help, prayers, and support of our family and friends, in our real and virtual lives.
To you, my virtual community, you have, in the past, been a great source of help, strength, and support, and that means more to me than I can say.
UPDATE: Many thanks to all of you! I feel the prayers. Truly, I do. It's an amazing thing!
UPDATE 2: My daughter sounded much better tonight than this morning, but it's going to be a roller-coaster ride for her and the boys.
