Try a joke.

Aloha: Question. Should I post a joke of the week? How about this one.

$50 For the Homeless

I recently asked my friend's little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be president some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were president what would be the first thing you would do?" She replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people. "Her parents beamed." Wow... what a worthy goal." I told her, "But you don't have to wait until you're president to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where homeless guys hang out, and you can give them the $50, you earned, to use toward food and a new house." She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?" I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party." Her parents still aren't speaking to me.

I do not know what is happening next door. There is a front end loader that is being used as a bulldozer and is working on the road. Chain saws and weed whackers going full blast in the woods. I hate to say it but I hope the owners are not going to build on that lot. I can see the time coming when we will not be able to "pee" in the woods as there will be too many houses all around.

Today is a lazy, lazy day. It is a bright but cloudy day. All in all a great day to be alive. The Volcano is doing its thing. Tremor has not made up its mind and is up, than down. I saw glow on the webcams last night. The one looking over the vent records light intensity at not, not color, so it is basically black and white. I think the brightest (whitest) part of the picture is the surface of the lava. During the day the camera records color and it is usually just white fume.

God bless and take care.
