Thought for the Day- If you think your life is tough, just turn on the evening news.
Thought for the Day- We probably should start calling the North Star, the North Stars. That dot in the sky is actually three stars, the latest of which was just discovered this year. Also, due to the odd wobble of the earth during its rotations, the North Stars will cease to be north, and will be replaced with other stars at that point in the sky---but that won’t happen for a very long time….so don’t worry about it. If you get lost in the forest at night, next week, you can still use the “North Stars” to get home.
Several Thoughts for Valentines Day – Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own. Robert A. Hainlein
The only two things in life worth anything, are loving and being loved. Anonymous
I like science. The image to the right reflects two of my sincere interests, science and Rotary
News Items Worth Sharing- -Man falls 30 feet into vat of Guinness, and breaks his pledge.
-Cannibal complains of bitter after-taste after boiling and eating a Franciscan Monk. He failed to realize Franciscans are friars.
-House catches fire; man with two wooden legs burns to the ground
Thought for the Day- The best way to get a job done is to give it to a busy man. He will have his secretary do it.
Seat saving is rare in Rotary, which makes the picture below so funny.
Scientific” Observations From Our Early History- On 6/23/1666 a dismal storm of rain with thunder and lightening hapned…they saw the house full of smoke, and perceived a grievous smell of brimstone. The wife, struck down dead for present, but God recovered her…though a dog which lay behind her was killed….{Editor’s note: The devil is obviously involved in what we commonly term ‘acts of God.’}
Some remarkable land floods have hapned in New England. In the Spring time, the great river in Connecticut useth to overflow but this year it did so after Midsummer, and that twice… August 13 a dreadful flood came, the waters were then observed to rise 26 feet above their usual boundaries. There is an awful intimation of Divine displeasure remarkable in this manner, inasmuch as August 8, a day of public humiliation, with fasting and prayer, was attended in the colony. {Editor’s note: Be careful what you pray for.} Rev. Cotton Mather, Remarkable Providences, 1684
Thought for the Day- When I did it well, I heard it never; when I did it ill, I heard it ever.
Silly Tidbits About our Fellow Workers: During a flu epidemic, stay away from your mailman. He is a carrier.
Brave electricians do it without shorts.
When lightning hit a train, everyone was shocked with the exception of the ticket taker—he was a bad conductor.
Something to Ponder, but Not Too Long- Global Warming: You Haven’t Seen Nothing Yet: We worry about global warming, the sea rising a bit, and adjustments having to be made to a world which will be quite different from that we are use to. However, one billion years from now, global warming will reach epic proportions. The sun will expand so much, that the oceans will boil away, and the earth will be nothing but a dry, scorched planet unable to grow as much as a one celled animal. Now that’s global warming, big time. Unfortunately, even 100 SPF sunscreen will do no good. Oh well…
Comment to Ponder- I’ve never seen the movie An Inconvenient Truth. Therefore, I can claim an unbiased opinion when I say everything in it is wrong. Sen. James Inhofe
Speaker Gaff—One of our members spent years building a large boat, and frequently discussed the trials and tribulations of building a his dream pleasure craft from scratch. During one of his presentations, John discussed his purchase of thousands of oily ball bearings he found very cheap, to use for ballast. However, the cleaning bill became excessive, he trashed a number of cement mixers, and used up hundreds of hours of time, and thousands of dollars trying to get them clean. When John miss-spoke about the oily problem of “cleaning his balls,” he brought down the house.
Following an unusually large raffle pot, I caught the “keeper of the cards” talking on his cell phone. The image, below, seemed to fit the moment.

Police Report for the Day- An officer spied a man playing his guitar while he was driving his car. The officer pulled the man over, and asked him, “Sir; do you know you’re an affront and a mockery to the traffic laws of our sovereign state?”
The man turned to the officer and responded, “No officer, but if you will hum a few bars, I’ll give it a try."
