Right is Wrong

I've been on Paul Hipp's email list for a while now. Here's the article about this song.

Newfie joke

A Newfie walked into a bank in Toronto and asked for the loans officer. He told the loans officer that he was going to Newfoundland on business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000.

However since he was not a depositor of the bank. The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan.

The Newfie handed over his keys to a new Ferrari that was parked on the street in front of the bank.

The Newfie produced the title and everything checked out.

The loan officer agreed to hold the car as collateral for the loan and apologized for having to charge 12% interest.

Later, the bank's president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the Newfie for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral for a $5,000 loan.

An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parked it.

Two weeks later, the Newfie returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest of $23.07.

The loan officer said, 'Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled.

While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire.

What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?'

The Newfie replied: 'Where else in Toronto can I park my car for two weeks for only $23.07 and expect it to be there when I return?'

Ah, Newfies..... See! Salt Beef is good for the brain.

So sorry!

I'm so sorry for many things. I've neglected you. I've been so busy that I haven't blogged. I have twittered some but it's just not the same. I have things to write about but have been too tired, too busy....

The last few days have been influenced by death. My boss' 29 year old child died violently & unexpected. The effect that that has had on me, my department, my boss has been overwhelming. My brother was killed in a car accident when he was 21 years old. I was 22. There is no returning to the old normal. You find a new normal. But the wound is still there. This week has picked at the 29 year old scab. And surprise the blood is running. I feel guilty for feeling my pain when that family has this new & fresh pain. I'm so sorry. Visitation, funeral....

My good friend Dan has had Death visit his family this week. But Death's kiss of slumber was sweeter. A strong woman of strong faith has no fear of Death. She had time to prepared for this. We can truly rejoice in a life fully lived, no longer in it's prime. I'm sorry that I never met her.

And tonight....Death is not an option. We love you too much. Do you have any idea what that would do to your brother? He would feel like he had let you down, that he failed you. Life can be hard. Believe me I know. But with friends & family to help we all get by. Please allow them to help. I'm so sorry that we aren't physically there for you. But Kanga will come out in the Fall to see you. I'm sorry that I won't see you on my trip to Canada.

I want a 22 & I'll join the NRA

Kanga wrote about Saturday's target practice. Here are a few photos:
This top one is my first time shooting a pistol. The second is Kanga's. Tom said we were naturals. Coming from an instructor and friend we were pleased. He's not the type to BS a person. He's straight up, all business. Especially when dealing with guns. I grew up around guns just not pistols. My mom had shot bears in our backyard up in Canada. We Roy women are tough.

I think we Dems should get guns & join the NRA. That should scared the bullshit out of them!

In honor of Janet

Janet, I hope you are feeling perky!
