I am returning this otherwise good typing paper to you because someone has printed gibberish all over it and put your name at the top.

In reply to Denise’s request last night ... my email addresses are mjlegel@verizon.net and michael@mjlegel.com and you can also find them near the bottom of the “About” section on the menu at left.  I look forward to getting some pictures!

I took some time to fire the mower up and drive it out of the Mootel.  I had to air up a couple tires and go get some gas but eventually I got to start mowing.  The north end of the property was still fairly swampy as I had feared but I managed to get through the worst of it without getting stuck.  I’m glad I mowed it before we got any more rain because it was actually getting quite thick to mow already.  Aaron and Ben also mowed their sections last evening so it looks pretty spiffy.

The one thing I had forgotten about was Mower Back.  I get that from jouncing and bouncing around on that machine.  I was stiff by the time bedtime rolled around and I am still feeling it this morning.  Note to self:  Mow slower ... bounce less!

Update!
4:37 A.M.
I think we just had an Earthquake?  If not ... something was shaking my house and I better find out what it was!

Update!
10:15 A.M.
We just had another short quake again!

Broke Back Bar
A cowboy walks into a bar and two steps in; he realizes it’s a gay bar.  But what the heck, he says to himself, “I can really use a drink.”

When the gay waiter approaches, he says to the cowboy, “What’s the name of your wee-wee?”

The cowboy says, “Look, I’m not into any of that, all I want is a drink.”

The gay waiter says, “I’m sorry but I can’t serve you until you tell me the name of your wee-wee.  Mine for instance is called Nike, for the slogan ‘Just Do It,’ and that guy down at the end of the bar calls his, Snickers, because it really ‘Satisfies.’

The cowboy looks dumbfounded so the bartender tells him he will give him a second to think it over.  So the cowboy asks the man sitting to his left, who is sipping on a beer, “Hey bud, what’s the name of yours?”

The man looks back and says with a smile “Timex,” and the thirsty cowboy asks, “Why Timex?” The fellow proudly replies, “Cause it takes a lickin’ and keeps on tickin!”

A little shaken, the cowboy turns to two fellas on his right, who happen to be sharing a fruity Margarita and says, “So, what do you guys call yours?” The first man turns to him and proudly exclaims,” FORD, because “Quality is Job One.” Then he adds, “Have you driven a Ford lately?”

The guy next to him then says, “I call mine CHEVY, ‘Like A Rock.’” And gives a wink.

Even more shaken the Cowboy has to think for a moment before he comes up with a name.  He exclaims, “The name of my wee-wee is ‘SECRET.’ Now give me a dang beer.”

The bartender begins to pour the Cowboy a beer, but with a puzzled look asked, “Why Secret?”

The cowboy says: “Because it’s Strong Enough For A Man, But Made For A Woman!”

I never thought I would see the day when a son of mine would come home wearing a skirt and I would be OK with it.  Actually it is a Hakama which is a Japanese traditional form of clothing.  Noah says it hides his feet and legs and makes it a little harder for his opponent to see his movements.  I guess he is man enough to wear it if it helps him kick somebody upside the head.
