Jake and I made the trek into town yesterday to buy supplies. He gets the easy job ... all he does is sleep on the back seat and pretend to guard the Blazer. I have to keep from killing cashiers and baggers.
A call to the dentist will be in order today. I busted a filling last evening while eating my supper. About a third of the way through my burger I crunched on something. I thought it was a bone at first and then that horrible feeling that something was just not right. Sure enough, there is a crater in my lower left back molar. Now I can’t keep my tongue away from it. It feels like a huge hole in my tooth but I know that feeling is exaggerated. I could give you a rendition of the two or three trips I will have to take to the dentist’s office to get this fixed but I will take it as it comes. More opportunities to grouch about it. |

In America
A Somalian arrives in Minneapolis as a new immigrant to the United States. He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, “Thank you Mr. American for letting me in this country, giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care, and free education!”
The passerby says, “You are mistaken, I am Mexican.”
The man goes on and encounters another passerby. “Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in America!”
The person says, “I not American, I from Puerto Rico.”
The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand and says, “Thank you for the wonderful America!”
That person puts up his hand and says, “I am from Middle East , I am not American!”
He finally sees a nice lady and asks, “Are you an American?”
She says, “No, I am from Africa!”
Puzzled, he asks her, “Where are all the Americans?”
The African lady checks her watch and says ... “Probably at work.” |
