Rambler 62

The Telescope Makers Guild gave the negligent lens maker a long prism sentence.

The Forest Products Industry asked me to write the pro log for their new book.

Many towns have churches that are the 1st this or the 1st that. I would think that getting there first isn't as important how they finish. (The last shall be first and the first last....)

Is dreaming in color a pigment of your imagination?

Prostate surgeons are meeting next month in Waterflow, NM.

Carnegie Mellon University has developed the ability to read minds for about 7 words based on activity in various parts of the brain. It is only a matter of time until an MRI will be able to read your thoughts. How does the 5th Amendment apply here? (Congress is safe because the MRI requires the person to be conscious and thinking)

The move of vast sums of money to the banks was to inspire confidence in the system. It did. I am convinced it was all a confidence scam.

Toro in Minnesota is experiencing a bull market this year in snow blower sales.

Is there external memory for seniors?

I used spend most of my free time fishing. Now I spend it trying to avoid being phished.

Can we have church ushers run for office? They are used to reaching across the aisle and handling our money.

It is interesting to watch learned professors discussing the asteroid that caused extinctions 65 million years ago. Some are sure it happened. Others are asking: "where are all the dinosaur bodies?"

The demise of the local band was very disconcerting.

I have found that some of my puns require a jestation period.

Political ads have been replaced by ads for burial plans. Both put us in deeper and result in a stink.

On the diet kick, the car industry was ahead of the food industry. They got rid of carbs long ago. (For the younger generation they were devices to mix gas and air before fuel injection)

In every college football game I hear about red shirt freshman. Don't they have any other colors?

  3. The ushers would be a help in congress but to really get the economy on track we need a Sec of Treasury who is a former church treasurer in a small rural church. If anyone can balance a budget he(or she) certainly can.
